No. It's a blessing to those who collect families and freeze hatchlings below 1%. I had tons of hatchlings over 1% and managed to use the Fine Tuning Glass on most of them. Now I finally have only 17 hatchlings to breed. It may not be useful to some, but it's not useless.
It's not useless but not blessing either. If you could only go down it would be an awesome item but if it can go up too it's frustrating.

I was gifted Brimstone Xhimrau egg but it was not frozen at 0.00% T_T . I used 10 Fine Tuning Glasses and the lowest I got was 0.27%. Now I'm affraid to try anymore because I'm sure I will not get lower without a lot of tries and I don't want to waste that much money. And I know that the egg looks like it was not clicked at all with the bars all blue but I would really like for it to be 0.00% :( .

The only thing I think should be changed is the user interface. The number of clicks to buy items is a bit of a pain. I'm not sure if restricting users is intended but I wouldn't think so considering the fact that the items are supposed to be gold sinks.

Using the glass on creatures also takes a lot of clicks. Select item > select tab (if applicable) > select creature > confirm > check creature's percentage. I usually then just hit the back button a few times to use another glass if the creature's not at a % that I want it at--still a lot of clicking.

I don't think the glass should be changed to only reducing percentage. It would completely kill the rarity and value of 0.00%s. I think a lot of people had a misconception of its intended design because it's named "fine tuning glass", which implies users being able to control the percentage somewhat. People had expectations that were not met, even though the item was never intended to work that way in the first place.

I think there could be some clarity added to items. A specific description of what each item does.

I thought a couple days ago 'if it had an opinion where you'd choose if you wanted for the % to go up or down a random amount' function thing
Hopeful thoughts but eh, I had some

This.
Particularly the final two points: 10% and too many clicks to buy.
Cheers! :wave:
