On Monday afternoon, we will see the new event in Monster Legends, which is a 72hr Challenge with the great new Nature monster Psilotus (who has AOE possession).

How is the best way to get as many challenge coins as possible? It works differently to the maze coin collection tactics.

My modi operandi is:

Activate rune and food guardians.
Farm the highest food
Breed two thunder eagles or two thunder legends continuously

With a billion to billion and a half gold per monster i can get enough coins to finish. Of course that assumes there are no flaws, such as the disaster from the last 72h challenge.

How does the Rune Guardian help you?

My monsters with gold runes earn more gold.

@Nynaevelan s

actually breeding pandaken will give more coins , no need for 4 hour breeding here

This is it :( propably same " balancing "

Nah i do not have the patience or time for that, too monotonous and boring for me.

@Haka-Taka How do you breed Pandaken in the shortest time possilble?

@Clackers Many ways to do it. I would guess that just about any combo with nature and fire will give you Pandakens, just make sure it doesn't give you anything that takes too long. Like I wouldn't mix in other elements. And don't use two legendary monsters since they will give you all kinds of commons. I use Treezard + Firesaur.

@Clackers as emil said , just use common fire and common nature
30 sec breed , 30 sec hatch with uc or r result

Last 72 hour the coins from food were rubbish. Balancing means that they stop players from getting the prize

Am I right in saying you get Challenge coins from growing food and collecting gold?

No 4 hr cooldowns?

yes no cool down so go wild as much as you can

BIGGEST TIP OF ALL: Make sure you have updated to the latest version before you start working on the challenge, the fix from the problems of the last challenge are in the latest update.

@Nynaevelan
even bigger Tip
Donot activate your temple till you saw that the food coins are back to normal

Yes! that is the best tip of all, I didn't think of that one.

/me wonders if not updating will yield good bugs? :P (first flip = monster? :O)

j/k - not likely.

@Haka-Taka So I can use my gold to grow food, but ultimately I don't need to feed the monsters with the food, I can save it until after the event?

@Clackers
yes feeding doesn't give any coins in 72 challenge , Unless sp change this

@Haka-Taka Yes let's hope SP don't make a change on us.

I only use one farm...this is sufficient for my style of gameplay. Am I at a disadvantage to players who have lots of farms growing food simultaneously?

I plan to spend 5m gold on the highest price food, then immediately speed it up with a gem. I plan to keep doing this until I run out of gold and then repeat the next day etc.

@Clackers
Yes , other players - all except you :P - have 14 farm so they can grow more without spending .. i don't like speeding with gems but in you case this is the only option or you can build the other 13 farm ;)

You should invest in more farms, even if you do not use them for any other time except the challenges it will be more beneficial to you than using your gems.

@Haka-Taka But doesn't that cost more gold? @Nynaevelan

I like to spend 5m gold for every 100k food.

Or 50m gold for 1million food.

This way I save space on my islands...I cannot have 1 island just for farms.

@Clackers
now as the event is about to start , yes it will cost gold ,so if this is your game style then let it be but why 5m gold for 100k and not 200 ?1
Also no temple is your style ? food temple is really worthy

You do not need an island just for them, put them in the out of the way corners where no habs will fit.

@Haka-Taka I think the food temple is essential, not only does it help during challenges but it helps to quickly replenish your food. But hey that may just be me. These challenges helps me to get enough food to last for several weeks and sometimes over a month.

Why? Islands cost only gold.

I got the popup about the event, but I don't have it on the right side, and I'm not collecting any coins.

Me too but I do not think it started yet.

I have the event on my mobile, but not on my pad. Weird.

Do you have the latest app on both?

Lol same here :\ on my phone but not tablet , both same version
anyway usually the start is rough ;) usually a bit of time till global release is done

I have it on facebook but the coin returns on farms are the same as in the last one, so I will wait for it to show up on my android.

Now, isn't it fun?

I collect on my phone, it shows 68 coins. Close app there, go to pad, no event. Collect money on my pad. Close ML, go back to phone, open ML, check on event, only 50 coins. WTF? BTW, both phone and pad are Android latest ML version.

Looks like SP has botched the second 72h event in a row.

Anyone who does not have the challenge yet, please refresh your app, it should then show up.

Well, restarting the device didn't do the trick.

@Frunobulax
did you cleared the cache ?

@Frunobulax said in 72hr Challenge tips and tricks:

I completely killed mine then restarted it and it showed up. Is that what you did?

@Haka-Taka Balancing without a clue of what they are fixing or what the implication of the balancing is. Make a change and push it out the door.

@Haka-Taka
well....bummer ...thanks !

@Haka-Taka said in 72hr Challenge tips and tricks:

@Frunobulax

That was my next attempt. Indeed, the event showed up. But this does not explain why the amount of coins suddenly dropped after switching devices.

Well it is official, 72 hour challenges go on my list of events I will begin to ignore, these balances have pushed themselves off of my tolerance scale.

Hey I collect food from the farm and I get +400 coins i swear
Rainbow snow peans always make magic stuff _('w')_/

that's because your level 30 the lower level you are the easier it is to get coins

OK, I am running two breedings ATM, one for a Thunder Eagle that takes about 35 minutes due to my breeding guardian running. Then I am also doing a pandaken breeding. Whenever the Thunder Eagle finishes, I get a few 72 hour coins, but then the next pandaken produces like 61 coins. Should I just wait for Thunder Eagle and collect both at once? Will I get a bigger payout if I don't collect the pandaken results each time immediately?

What you see is that coins are awarded with the next breeding. The order doesn't really matter, usually whenever you breed a monster you will get coins from the last one.

@Marianne-van-Es Actually I'm 29 but I'm almost 30

Plus I almost get Pinky 7 card left and I have to save gold for legendary habitat

@Dawood-H.-Dawood
Think hard if you can avoid going to 30. The rate of coins will drop to 45% of what you had at 29, or something.

If he grows food he cant really stop it though

Or do Adventure Map, or Multiplayer, or breed, or hatching....honestly I do not know how you all can continue to play and stop from leveling up.
