Hi all
Hope this guide can make events more easier to accomplish and answer some FAQ . this guide cover progressive , Maze and 72 hour challenge Events

Pools ! what is it ?

Lets take an example with pvp

• The max number of attacks you can have at any time is 3 . this equal pool capacity so pvp pool is 3
• If you did 3 pvp attacks , you will have to wait 2 hours before you can do another attack .. the spwan time for pvp is 2 hours .and it will take 6 hours to fill the pool to max
• what will happen if i waited more than 6 hours ?
  Nothing . the timer will be stopped and no more pvp attacks will be added to your game till you at least do 1 attack .

1- Progressive Islands

Monsters and rewards are placed in linear order so you canot pick your reward , you have to clear it Progressively and hence comes the name from .

You have to do certain actions like collecting gold. feeding monsters , fighting ,breed or hatch to earn points , and every items has its own pools capacity and spawn timers so

• Gold pool capacity is 6 and spawn time is 1h20m ---(Get full in 8 hours)
• Feeding pool capacity is 4 and spawn time is 2 h ---( Get full in 8 hours)
• breeding pool capacity is 1 and spawn time is 8 h ---( Get full in 8 hours)
• hatching Pool capacity is 1 and spawn time is 8 h ---( Get full in 8 hours)

So If event for example started at 1 Pm and first node require 22 gold.12 feed and 3 breed like the photo above how the event will go

1 Pm : i will collect gold and feed and breed --- **See tips below** -- so i will get 6 gold items and 4 feed and 1 breed

2 pm : if i repeated all the above action i will not get anything as all the pools are empty
2:20 pm : there is new 1 item in gold pool so if i collect gold i can get 1 more gold items but feeding pool is still empty

3 pm : there is a new item in feed pool so if i feed i can get 1 more feeding item
3:40 : new 1 gold items is add to gold and so on

**Confused !! how should i play this event ?

No need to worry , this event is actually the least tiresome between the 3 events
If you noticed all the pools are full after 8 hours . so all you need is to time your action
In the above example .. when the event start go and collect gold . feed and breed till you have 6,4,1 items - Respectively - after that you can play the game your style but after 8 hours is passed repeat the above cycle so your items are 12,8,2 - Respectively - and so on ... This is 8 hours events so even lazy or busy players can do it by timing the logging every 8 hours

Island Boost

Sometimes we have it , So what does it mean ?
it mean that every thing take 50% less time so during the boost

• Collect Gold pool capacity is 6 and spawn time is 40m ---(Get full in 4 hours)
• Feeding pool capacity is 4 and spawn time is 1 h ---( Get full in 4 hours)
• breeding pool capacity is 1 and spawn time is 4 h ---( Get full in 4 hours)
• hatching Pool capacity is 1 and spawn time is 4 h ---( Get full in 4 hours)

Notice that the pool capacity is fixed , so during the boost it is 4 hours events not 8 hours one

Tips and Tricks

• The items drop is chance based . this mean 2 things

1- all players are equal in those type of events --- of course if no gems spent --- so every one will get 6 gold items every 8 hours regardless the player level

2- the items drop DOESN'T depend on the amount of gold collected or amount of food feeded or the length or quality of the breed

• For gold items keep collecting every time you log to your game . or when the gold icon appear on habitat easy pesy

• For feeding . to maximize the use of your food especially if you have nothing to feed then every 8 hours hatch some common - Firesaur for example 15 sec hatch - and feed it to level 10 .. if still not get your 4 items , sell and repeate
  If you already have something to feed , then it is perfect as no food is wasted here

• For Breeding and hatch . again it is a a chance drop item so short combo are preferred ,, some combo that works for some players are pandaken one -- fire and nature common --- took 30 sec , or use treezard + thundenix 30 sec too

3- if you got like 5 gold and 3 feed though you waited 8 hours , restarting the game and re collect and feed usually fix this . same for breed and hatch of course

4-when you finish a node and start new one , the pools are full
so you may get 6 gold.4 food.1 breed items and finish node with gems . then instantly again collect 6,4,1 items . Only fight timer is not reset with new nodes

5- Though it is very old issue but i still see some players mention it ,it is about pool timer reset . Back in old days logging to game will cause that so we were forced not to touch our game for 8 hours , 1 login by mistake and you lose items but now there is no reset . log as much as you can

6- progressive island are impossible to finish without spending gems . So either progress totaly with 0 gems .. or decide you target and spend a little to get it or go all wild and finish it all if you like . It is up to you and usually in each event topic we have gem chart which help decide what to get and how much to Spend so make sure to check those

Last . All feedback , suggestions and correction are welcomed so if you have any just comment so i can edit or add it

2- Maze islands

Pools ! what is it ?
See above in progressive island guide

Monsters and rewards are placed in Maze like order . Some monsters are ready to move , some are locked so you have to find the suitable key\s first to unlock them .
and not like progressive Here you can choose to some extend how to spend your coins and what monsters to get

Action that give maze coins are collecting gold & food , feeding , breeding , hatching and pvp battles as shown in the photo-- edited from wiki site--

How should i play this event ?
If you noticed all the pools are full after 4 hours . so all you need is to time your action
From photo you can get 225 maze coins every 4 hours with perfect collect

Maze Discount

During the events there are times when moving monster cost is less by 10% and\or 20% and\or 30 % . So keep an eye on the event topic as those times are usually posted there .
For few mazes now the first and last discount are the best - 30%- but the last discount is usually assassinated with server problem as many player save to this one .. so keep in mind the game will kick you out of game . many errors and in worst case you maybe not be able to spend all your coins saved . so again plain wisely what you want and when to get it ;)

Tips and Tricks

• The items drop is chance based . this mean 2 things

1- all players are equal in those type of events --- of course if no gems spent --- so every one will get 225 coins every 4 hours regardless of player level

2- the items drop DOESN'T depend on the amount of gold collected or amount of food feeded .

• For gold Coins: keep collecting every time you log to your game . or when the gold icon appear on habitat easy pesy

• for food collect : the amount of coins isNOT related to what you grow
  so every 4 hours you can grow the 30 sec food and repeat till you get your 50 coins

• For feeding : to maximize the use of your food especially if you have nothing to feed then every 4 hours hatch some common - Firesaur for example 15 sec hatch - and feed it to level 10 .. if still not get your 30 coins , sell and repeat
  If you already have something to feed , then it is perfect as no food is wasted here

• For Breeding and hatch . again it is a a chance drop item so short combo works as well but you will have to keep repeating till you get 50 coin from hatch and 50 from breed So instead using 4 hour combo 2 thunder commons---Thunder Eagle--or Thunder Eagle and thunder Legendary is more favorable by players , it has 2 advantage

1- it fill the 4 hours needed to fill the pool , so this mean by 1 breed you will get 50 coin and by hatching the egg by selling it you will get another 50 coins
2- you can use it as a timer ..after doing all actions start the breed , so if you are not sure when the next action time is you can check your breeding or hatchery

• For Pvp : do it and win
• if you got less coins though you waited 4 hours , then again restart the game and repeat the action but for breed if you didn't get your coins try a fast combo like pandaken . sometimes the coins are stuck and need another combo to get released or if you waited another 4 hours usually you get them

4- Though it is very old issue but i still see some players mention it ,it is about pool timer reset . Back in old days logging to game will cause that so we were forced not to touch our game for 8 hours , 1 login by mistake and you lose coins but now there is no reset . log as much as you can

5- Maze island are impossible to finish without spending gems . So you need to be very sure about how to spend your coins .. you don't want to start moving a monster then stuck mid way .. so if you are sure about your earning coin capability then go ahead --- Under discount times -- If not sure then wait till the last few discount to see what monster you can move and get...
usually in each event topic we have a Map and event guide that show which path unlock which monster at which cost and total path cost with and without discount etc so make sure to check those

3- 72 hour challenge

Also know as flipping card event .as monsters and reward are placed under cards and you have to flip the cards to find the monster
You have to do certain actions like collecting gold. growing food , breed and pvp to earn coins
This is the only event that amount of coins is depending on player level . Unlike the previous 2 events type .. and this event favor low level players the higher you level up the harder earning coins will be

this photo for educational propose only as each event there maybe a " balance "

The photo show conversion rates for gold and food . pvp and breed rules are same

for example if a players grow 2.8 M food - this
1- at level 130 2800000\3478 = 805 coins
2- at level 85 2800000 \585 =4786 coins so 6x more using same amount of gold

Same goes for amount of gold collected .

How should i play this event ? Best ways to get coins

Short answer is to go all out .. as for detailed
1- Growing food gives the highest amount of coins For lower levels .. so save enough amount of gold if you are always short on gold so when event come you are ready ... activate your temple and grow food
As for high levelsgrowing food is not the highest income now and not enough to get the 3rd prize . so focus more on breeding

Sometimes you grow food but get no or less coins ..here the coins are stuck . so you can grow 1 farm with 30 sec food to get any stuck coins ..if you ignored that you will get them normally next collect

2- collecting gold come naturally . if you feel you got no or less coins then the coins are stuck so restart your game then do 1 more collect to get the coins .if you ignored that you will get them normally next collect

3-pvp if you willing to do it and win go ahead
4- Breeding -- this is tricky one --
as you can see the higher rarity you breed you get more coins . same for breeding duration . so many will think breeding legendary is the answer but no

As wiki worded it .. even if you can keep breeding pandaken doing it few times every hours ---when you collect food --- is more rewarding . and sure if you can keep doing it it will be even more worthy

Any Discounts or boosts ?

No .we don't have any kind of discount or boosts here . so if you have enough coins to get the monster go ahead . and my advise don't start flipping cards until you have enough coins assuming the monster in under last card and no need to hurry , start collecting gold . see your hour\daily income and plan your target

Reserved just in case

Useful thread, @Haka-Taka ! Somebody's been busy, this weekend 😉

"3- if you got like 5 gold and 3 feed though you waited 8 hours , restarting the game and re collect and feed usually fix this . "
I keep wondering why is it so difficult to write an app that does not require restarting when you need it to resync with the server and get its timers right ??
This tip is present in probably 95% of guides about progressive islands or mazes which proves that it is very common and also causes a lot of confusion and grief to the new players. The more experienced ones just got used to restarting the game ... Is it really the solution we accept in the 21st century?
Perhaps we should request from SP to introduce a big red button saying "RESTART" to help with this clearly impossible to solve problem?

BTW, Great job on the guide!!!

Added 72 h challenge part, comments are welcomed

@Haka-Taka Very nice guide indeed! I'd like to add a couple of bits in regards to pool collection:

There definitely is a direct correlation to the amount of collect, breed & feed, etc. you do with the likelihood of emptying the pool in one (or two) goes.

Feeding: DO NOT feed monster from 1-10 if you can afford it, start at Lvl 15 (pre-feed it to that level), then feed really quickly 5 levels until next skill, wait 15-20 sec and do one more feed - you will empty the entire pool 95% of the time.
Collect gold: same, quickly collect gold from 10 or so habitats, then wait 20 sec, collect one more, although for some strange reason it's not quite as reliable as the feeding.
^^^the above applies to progressive island and maze
Collect food for maze is easy, if planting snowpeas, just keep collecting a bit more often than every 4 hours as it only is good for about 42 coins or if you can afford it, collect just one Black Lotus every 4 hours (or thereabouts). It will ALWAYS empty the entire pool!

Breeding and hatching for progressive islands is probably the most painful pool to empty. Pandakens/Greenasaurs often don't work as breed/hatch time is too short to reliably trigger it. I found fire/earth combo the most reliable to trigger the pool and at 3 & 6 min breed/hatch time it's not too painful. Also, if you spend 1 gem to speed up (if you are in a hurry) it triggers (and often releases) the pool 90% of the time.

Also, what applies to all events (progressive island, maze & 72 hrs) is that you first trigger the release with your first action and then release it with a follow up action about 20 or so seconds later. Also, once triggered, the pool is empty in the background and starts refilling again, although you actually haven't collected the coins/items yet! Strange, but true ;)

You can't necessarily rely on that in the progressive island, though, as each action only has a % chance of triggering the item so you can be sure the pool is empty until you actually receive the items whereas for maze/72 hrs it is related to the amount you do and it can be relied upon!

@David-ML I never had a problem getting hatching and breeding. What I do is just breed two Firesaurs and within 2-3 tries I get the point. If I don't then I restart and then when I collect I get it 99% of the time. For hatching I've experienced that if I buy eggs and hatch I don't get the points but when I hatch/sell the firesaur eggs from the breedings I get the point immediately.

I'm so confident about this firesaur breeding I can even make a video lol

@Xarius totally agree here.
I personally go with any fire legend and a firesaur, and its never ever been a problem for the progressive events.

For maze any lightning legend with the lightning common instead and same story.

@Haka-Taka

hi guys, there are lot of responses so I'm going to ask - does anyone know exact time gold gathering time challenge starts? is it every second Monday morning GMT? which one is starting tomorrow?

@kackakratka
Though it is bit off topic but yes all event starts - and ends- at 6 am GMt ?
Tomorrow event is love season .Monday after is gold ever

@Haka-Taka thanks I didn't knowwhere to post it and it's an event so I thought this is about events in general ;) appreciate the response

@Haka-Taka said in Monster Legends Events guide:

Tomorrow event is love season .

Then I'm extremely lucky, because I have two legendaries already started (Firelequin and Arch Knight)

@Haka-Taka Hi and thanks a lot
I just had a question as to whether there is any limit to the amount of coins we can collect through one mode in 72 h challange.

@Shikhar-Bhatt no there isnt. There is no pool like other events

@Haka-Taka 72H challenge is still glitched. I gather 2.8M food and gather only 200 coins. In your tutorial i should get 805 coin. Where is my 605 coin??????

@John-Smith they changed it read the text its balanced ;)

I collected around 2k coins and suddenly I could'n get even half the coins I got before... If this goes forward I couldn't even get the Epic monster (have around 1,1 billion gold).
Yeah I know we have the chance to get the monster on the first try, but come on, what is the chance for that (although some people on the discord got lucky)? I'm pretty sure it's still the last card for me.

It's even worse than before. I'd say I'm shocked but really I'm not, started with 400 coins from collecting food and second collection just 139 coins.... What ballance, baby account lvl 35 got Bella at the last card so that's out the window too, it's amazing how many things they ballance for us to get nothing at all, hilarious really, for high lvls it's : don't even bother and for the ones that used to do a couple rounds it's prolly just 1 now, thanks SP

Correction , now I get 112 coins from highest food and temple on, can't even turn half a card

@Alex-Pisi after we hit 10k, I think the maximum coins from food would be like 10 points 🙂😐😠

@Alex-Pisi https://forums.socialpointgames.com/topic/8501/72-h-challenge-changes

@Marianne-van-Es I read that, did u? Especially the part about their aim : quote all players can collect enough coins to obtain a legendary monster.... Are we playing different games here? Because I defo cannot collect any monster without coins

@Alex-Pisi its a question of luck, you can get him at first card now so for me its more then I had, I mean its worse for mid level players who could get 3 rounds in so high nerve there but I could get an epic for free no the rest i had to gem which wasnt that bad but imbalanced as to others could get 3 rounds in now we all have the same change from low to high so yes its more fair in my eyes, Im sorry for those mid level players but high level players have a chance on getting them for free thats more we had

@Marianne-van-Es I'm high level and I don't get enough coins to flip........this is not ballance for everyone, sorry but it's another fail

Yeah, on the first card, so they say.
No, I am not that gullible. In fact, it doesn't matter if i am or not, i have already flipped the first card on 9 accounts, and the second, and the 8th. On my baby account it was on the last card.
This is more than we had before? Hah. Hah. Hah.
You don't fix things by giving players false hopes and making it even harder than it was before, and it was impossible before.
You fix things by, well, fixing things, which is not this, this mockery of our loyalty.

Please, it is just another scheme and another gift-wrapped nothing. This community has learnt to read between the lines of SP's blessings.

All that being said, everybody is entitled to their own opinion. And to those that believe this is an improvement, well, i am happy for you.

But for me it is just another lie and dust in the eyes. Another promise and abuse of loyal players... however little of us are left.

To wrap this up, i was looking for a solution to this problem, a real one. This is not a solution.

@Alex-Pisi I can totally relate and support what you're saying . . . If it was hard for high-lvl players back then to get coins I feel like with these changes have gotten even harder . . . At least for me . . . Barely get coins out of farming and collecting gold

Have you all tried breeding? I got 2230 (didnt see the exact amount) by breeding a Legendary.

About it being in improvement I never said that, its certainly not een improvement for players who normally get 3 rounds in.

And for me personally it only will be if and when im lucky, what I said is now I have a change on getting the 2 star legendary for free before I couldent. 2 in my team got Bella pretty quick so its working for them and If I dont get her it will be the same as previous ones or maybe it will be more frustrating before I knew at forehand I couldn't get the L. I dont know, I will know what I feel at the end of the 72h

:) parese ser un gran juego me pregunto como seria mejor la experiencia en el intricado juego de monter legends
