How to be a GOD whilst playing F2P

I don't claim to be a God, but here are some tips to become God. ^.^

HOW TO GET GEMS:

• Monsterwood typically gives 30+ gems/week (providing there isn't any cells on).

• Dungeons can give up to 40+ gems/week if you active (recognise the + on these)

• Events can award 15-20 gems usually if you beat them, along with potentially 400 gems if you come first (although that probably won't happen F2P)

• Maze islands award gems.

• Clearing meteorites rarely gives gems, but it can happen.

• The adventure map gives gems.

• Achievements / Goals give gems.

• Completely all daily tasks will grant you three gems a day.

• Bronze III - Bronze I will give 5-15 gems every season.

• Roulette wheels may rarely grant you 1-5 gems depending on levels etc.

• If the game bugs out or if you install a big update SP may give you 5 gems.

HOW TO GET GOLD WHILST F2P.

• Use the gems you get to buy legendaries that are on offer OR breed legendary farms (this will take a while).

• Use the gems you get to buy high level gold runes when they are on offer.

• Upgrade all legendary habitats so they can hold max amount of legendaries and gold.

• Gold dungeons give 500k gold + other gold from its nodes + roulette.

• Adventure map can give gold.

HOW TO GET FOOD:

• Use the gold you got from the gems/breeding to activate the food temple and upgrade all you farms to huge farms.

• It costs around 96M to get 14 black lotus fruit and the temple activated.

• Buy the lotus fruit once your temple is 200% food quantity.

• 96M gold ---> 2.8M food

FURTHER TIPS:

• Wait for discounts.

• Don't buy monsters from store unless they're on sale. 2.3k gems is rip off.

• Don't waste gems on speed up unless you have the effort to just get more gems

• Be patient and don't spend it accidental on stupid stuff.

• Put the thing on that asks permission to spend 20+ gems JUST in case you click the wrong thing.

• Grind. Hard.

Thanks, Dr. Catterall.

@Dr.-Catterall This post should be pinned!! ^^

@esentis Thanks. Maybe it'll stop people making rants about P2W players.

14 x 5 M gold = 70 M gold

Nice summary, but your advice about gold farming isn't too crash hot which is the key to advancing in the game: Buy boosts, theme your islands around boosts, upgrade your legendary habitats, hatch every L you get (at least at the beginning), buy team gold/gold runes lvl 1 when on sale, craft them up like mad when rune experience (do NOT buy high level gold runes, that's a huge waste of resources!!!), strategically place your war monsters with 3 open slot gold cows equipped with team gold....

....as you need keep up with the increasing requirements for gold fever and growth spurt in order to get the 20 gem reward and eventually get enough to make the top 5000/500 in the challenges. This all hinges on an efficient gold economy!!! This is the single most important aspect of playing the game (other than battle tactics) as F2P

Good points, but I don’t believe it will necessarily change opinions on the topic of f2p or not. Keep in mind that the roughly 4000 gems one can get a year equate bringing a single non exclusive monster to rank 5 at sale prices and in that years time the relative power of that monster has most likely diminished due to power creep.

There are alternative f2p ways to get or rank up monsters beyond what you listed, and I don’t want to take away from those. What you have described lays out well - particularly for newer players - the avenues available for advancement. And to be sure, there are ways to enjoy the game without being upper tier. But if someone has a goal of being competitive at the upper end of this game as a ftp (eg become a God) it would likely rely much more heavily on finding a well organized team above your current power level who invests significantly in group events and trading cells rather than what you’ve described above.

@Dr-Catterall Maybe take a look at this: https://forums.socialpointgames.com/topic/5414/f2p-guide-by-don-tdenythetruth

I found this very useful. Credit as appears in the image.

This.
And the lack of a panda farm reference makes the original post rather lacking.

Plus, make habitats and boosts a strong priority over food. Use gold to upgrade your legendary habitats first, build boosts, islands, and use only leftover gold for food. You can play a LONG time with your best monsters at level 40-50, which maximizes gold income but wastes no food on levels that give no additional income.
