Advanced Money-Making Tips

💡 Mass Farming Strategy

Keep 10-15 high-value animals ready. When rare weather appears, feed them all at once for multiple mutation chances.

💡 Weather Forecasting

Game shows 24-hour weather forecast (v2.0). Set alarms for Disco/Volcano weather to maximize profits!

💡 Medusa Priority

Save Rubies to buy Medusa from shop. One mutated Medusa pays for itself and more. Best investment in the game.

💡 Don't Sell Too Early

Let animals grow fully before selling. Fully-grown animals have higher mutation chances and better base values.

💡 Ocean Event Timing

Ocean Event runs every hour for 10 minutes. Complete it for exclusive rewards and Corals for Ocean animals.

💡 Distance Grinding

Travel 5000m+ to unlock Phoenix spawns. Use speed boosts and better lassos for faster distance gains.
