Playing by Appointment reported on Jul 7, 2021
the times that are best to open the game will be highly variable. you will need to log in to hatch many monsters within as few days as possible to wake up wublins and stuff. it's just overall very tempting to log in every hour and collect the stuff your monsters generate
Advertisements reported on Jul 7, 2021
you can pay a small amount to permanently remove ads though
Infinite Treadmill reported on Jul 7, 2021
it all depends on when you decide you're happy with your collection / decorations I suppose.
Invested / Endowed Value reported on Jul 7, 2021
no matter how many resources you have, certain monsters are only obtainable at certain point(s) of the year. regardless, growing your monster collection takes a lot of time and I certainly wouldn't ever want to start over.
Pay to Skip reported on Jul 7, 2021
the main (but definitely not only) application of this is speeding up monster breeding stuff, which takes forever lmao
Gambling / Loot Boxes reported on Jul 7, 2021
there's a rigged daily spinning wheel
Badges / Endowed Progress reported on Jul 7, 2021
there are "goals" for just about everything
Complete the Collection reported on Jul 7, 2021
monsterpedia, there are different versions of the same monster too
Illusion of Control reported on Jul 7, 2021
the daily spin wheel appears to have equal chances of each prize but after hundreds of hours I can guarantee you it's rigged to give you a garbage prize 99.5 percent of the time. the game asks if you'd like to pay premium currency for another spin after you use your daily one.
Variable Rewards reported on Jul 7, 2021
sometimes monsters will reward more favorable resources, it's random
