Breeding and Hatching:

Breeding is an important part of bringing new Creatures to your enchanted Forest! You can select two of the existing Creatures in your enchanted Forest that are at least level four to breed in the Breeding Garden. The two Creatures that you select for breeding will create a new one together, combining the elements of the two parents. Try breeding different elements to create new and exciting Creatures in your Forest!



After your Creatures have finished breeding, you will see a heart icon pop up above the Breeding Garden. This means you have created a new Creature! Tap on the heart icon to send it to the Tree of Life, where it will hatch and become ready to be placed in a habitat. Different Creatures will have different hatching and breeding times, but you can also use Gems to speed up both breeding or hatching.

Farming and Feeding:

In order to evolve your Creatures, you'll need to feed them Food grown at one of your Farms. Feeding your animals will increase their levels, but will also increase their appetites! You can grow food faster if you have multiple Farms, or you can use gems to instantly speed up plant growth to harvest Food. Upgrading your Farms will also increase the amount of Food options you have to plant. The amount of Coins required to plant, as well as the time it takes to grow the food, will change depending on the plant you've selected to grow.

Evolving:

If you don't see the option to feed them anymore, it means it's time for them to evolve! Evolution unlocks the magical potential within your Creatures to upgrade them into an entirely new form. You'll need an Evolution Flower built in your Forest, which is where you can send your Creatures to evolve. After you have fed your Creatures all they can eat, you will see an option to evolve them in the animal's detail screen. You can also tap on the Evolution Flower to see all the animals in your forest that are ready to evolve.





Once you've placed your Creature into the Evolution Flower to evolve, look for a flower icon to pop up! This means your upgraded Creature is done evolving and ready to be placed back in it's habitat. Once you've evolved an animal to level four, it can be sent to the Breeding Garden with another animal for breeding.

Album

The Animal Album is a feature that helps keep track of Animals that currently inhabit your Forest. You can tap on each Animal to learn more about them. Each Animal info page has their description, amount of Coins earned per hour, and how many of that Animal you currently have. You can also tap on Animals that you do not have yet to check their name and info.

Note: The evolution points and earn rates indicated in the Album may not be correct. Please look forward to a future update to correct this.

Battlegrounds



Just North of the Main Island the Battlegrounds await Players level 5 and above! Look for the Fireworks! In the Battlegrounds you will face 40 rounds with increasing difficulty. At the very end of the 40 Round gauntlet, you can win a rare Animal, the Ancient Sloth. This Animal is only available via the Battlegrounds. Once you vanquish this first round of battles, other challengers will soon await you. Come back often and show that you have what it takes!



To go into a battle, tap on a Round to bring up the 'Select Your Animal' screen, then select an Animal and head into Battle! Remember each Battle will cost Stamina. Your Stamina will recover over time, but you can also win it as a reward for some battles.

While in Battle, each Animal has one or two basic attacks available, these are dependent on the Elements the Animal is. There is also an Ultimate Attack, causing massive damage. This is for players who want to sway the victory to their side! During the Battle each attack has a chance of being at 1 of 4 power levels: Weak, Normal, Strong, and Critical.



Winning a Battle will give rewards, such as Stamina, Apples, and Coins. Every 5 Rounds will have a Special Round where a specific reward will be in a bonus amount! Don't worry if your Animal loses a Battle, that Animal will just need to rest (no additional building required!) for a period of time before it can jump back into the fray!

Expanding

Running out of space for your Creatures to frolic? It's time to expand your land! There are two ways you can expand your land.

Tap on one of the Expand Stone signs in your Forest.



-OR-

Hit the Expand tab in your Shop.



Requirements to expand your Forest:

The first few expansions in your Forest will only cost you Coins. Eventually, you will need a new requirement, the Realm Rune, in addition to your Coins. Where can you obtain this Realm Rune? Check out the "Mining" post below.



Once you have expanded to new locations, you will need to clear any trees or shrubs before you can place any of your Habitats or Buildings. Note: You can only expand one land at a time.

Mining

Looking to further expand your Forest? You'll need to mine for those Realm Runes! Locate the Mine on the right side of your Forest and expand to its location to unlock it. In order to unlock the mine, you will need to be at least Level 11.



Now that you've unlocked the Mine, you'll need to obtain some value Explosives to unearth your treasures. You can collect these by breeding two of your Creatures.



Now that you have the materials you need, you can being your excavation! Every time you use a charge, you'll get a hint to know how close you are to your treasure! As soon as you've found the treasure it'll be added onto your rewards, and you can keep excavating for more valuables!



Once you've used up all of your charges you'll be given your precious loot! Come back often to make sure you have an endless supply of Realm Runes. Good luck, and happy excavations!

Note: You can only hold a maximum of 20 Realm Runes. Once you have 20, you will no longer receive any Realm Runes when Mining.
