This probably isn't the place for it, but could I ask how we get a stablehand? That sounds really useful!
As for gold sink ideas, maybe a gold sink event? Like, something similar to the events that pop up on the top of the screen, but maybe longer lasting. A dragon shows up and demand 1 million gold or something for a quest. Everyone donates however much they can until 1 million is reached. Then the dragon flies way, leaving some rare objects from its hoard to the top 5 contributors
That's a good idea! Maybe the dragon can even drop eggs, diamonds and scales!

or items that equal to the amount you donated otherwise it'd be a bit unfair dont you think? some folks kinda hoard their gold even if there was something they could buy

Btw, how often are philters of amnesia bought in the scale shop? It always feels like a waste to me to spend scales on them since scales are such a time sink when they're the only way for me to usually get lesser dyes. I've always thought they'd be better as a gold purchase item. I'd be naming a lot more of my pets if they were sold for gold instead. That way if I came to greatly regret a name later, particularly say after a revamp and I completely changed the design of a pet, I wouldn't nearly have to worry so much. I think they'd be a nice gold sink.

@Dragondawn
I think it's a bit painful to also release pets because of a completely unexpected increase in feeding costs that wouldn't have been considered at the time of obtaining the pet. I think there's people that would rather just not feed most of their pets vs releasing depending on the price increase.

I thought about different ideas for gold sinks. I remember once way back there was talk of a pet pound. I think that might be an enticing idea. A pet pound where you can donate unwanted pets and other players can adopt them for a fee.
Or you could have a traveling salesman who sells a mystery gift like a philter or a scale shop dye for a certain amount of gold.
You could also have a pet armor shop where pet armor can be purchased for gold.
Krin if you're going to raise the price to feed pets can you please consider making an option with stable hands to have a choice to include only certain stables and exclude others? It already costs me over 10K every.day to feed my pets with the stable hand.
I second this. If the price is going to be unreasonable to feed our pets wholly, at least let us select stables for the stable hand to feed.
