The start of a new month, March, brings forth the start of a new event on Lioden, introducing their Anti-Poaching event.
The Anti-Poaching event creates an opportunity for you to defeat poachers in Explore, gain Prevent Points to unlock a secret area, and help defend Africa!
What's great is that the wandering poachers have randomised encounters AND some randomised outcomes, too. This adds a lot of variety to your choices! But, be careful - if your level is too low, you might not stand a chance against a large number of poachers! You will be ensnared instead of being able to fight. Poachers have left traps everywhere!
Choices made when killing poachers or shooing them away will affect your karma!
Prevent Points are gained for a public bar unlock, but you may notice that you also gain "RB". These are Rhino Beetles, a special event currency specific to March! Hold tightly onto them until the shop is unlocked!
Poachers aren't only lurking for lions within Lioden; they've already done some evil. You might stumble upon the results of their wrongdoings in Explore as well. It may be horribly sad, but it's horribly true in real life as well. This is what real life is, and it's just as upsetting. We want to raise awareness, and we want you to be prepared for these tragic times.
Oasis Reminder: Remember that from March 1st 00:00am LDT until March 31st 11:59pm LDT, a unique "Aging Injured Persian Fallow Deer" decor will be available to purchase in the Oasis!
Crafting Reminder: Remember that you can craft the "Murex Base: Haliotis" and "Murex Markings: Haliotis" applicators in Monkey Business once Tier 2 of the Black Market has opened! These recipes are exclusive to March's event.
At the end of March, as in previous years, we'll donate a portion of our March income and share a screenshot from PayPal.
Leopard Tail - Using this item will increase the chances of a rosette appearing if criteria are met for one.
Follow the Injured - Using this item will boost the odds of your lionesses finding specific prey for your hunting quests.
We will clear everything up with these items in the Development Update news if it is released before Black Market's Tier 3! If Tier 3 opens first, we will release a small news post instead.
As usual, along with these new items, new rewards will become available in the Black Market as tiers are unlocked!
In addition to the above, we have prepared 21 new event encounters for you! You voted that you wanted to see more of a variety with encounters, so we've made sure that there are plenty of new experiences. To stray away from injured animals, we have focused on the good side of humans, endangered species, and spreading more awareness.
Some encounters will appear when Tier 2 unlocks, and others will be released when Tier 3 unlocks.
Lastly, we have new year-round crafting recipes released this month!
Unlocking Tier 3 will boost the encounter's rate of appearance!
Good luck, and good night!
This year, we see the return of Poacher Chase, a reskin of August's Fire Escape! It will be available in the Games section of Crossroads. Once a day, you will earn Prevent Points and Rhino Beetles for sending scores in Poacher Chase!
For those unfamiliar with the game, this sidescrolling infinite platformer will speed up as you progress. You have to jump over obstacles and collect Rhino Beetles! We advise you to get used to the game's pace before you decide to send your score - it's worth it to practice first.

Event Updates for 2024
Just like in January, we are skipping the release of a base applicator this month and introducing new items instead. We've found a few interesting suggestions, and we'd like to introduce our take on them in Tier 3 of the Black Market. When we're closer to Tier 3 and all testing is finished, we'll update the item descriptions in case of any important details that show up!
We will clear everything up with these items in the Development Update news if it is released before Black Market's Tier 3! If Tier 3 opens first, we will release a small news post instead.
