Information about Monster Hunts
Also known as: Royal Games, Leaderboards, Beast Master Challenge and Monster Hunts (don't know why we have so many names for the same thing!)
Link to Information Nugget on Beasts
The following notes have been generally consistent from season to season. Season specific information may be posted in the respective discussion thread.
* Check you can spawn monsters!
* Pink Skunkupines don't drop tokens when you defeat them. They might spawn from pink and wedding alicorns.
* Gem horses may not spawn glimmer trolls.
* Trolls may be included but they change from being included season to season.
* Monsters also drop their normal items in addition to the tokens.
* Do the Bronze Hunter Trade if you are nearly maxed on Shield tokens so that they don't go to waste.
* A Level 5 Jousting Arena will spawn a monster on every collection. Link to Jousting Arena Renovations thread.
* The Mythic Research Center (from L22) crafts are available to craft anytime if you have the tokens.
* If it's your first Monster Hunt, the new trades might appear after you do 1 of any trade in the Trade Wagon.
* Remember to collect from Princess Lorelei's fountain for a chance at gold tokens (about a 1 in 3 drop rate)
* BLUE DIRE BOARS will only spawn once a day.
* During a Monster Hunt (Beast Master event), Goblins (from Makeda's Wagon mini events on weekends) will not drop tokens when being defeated. They will only drop crystals as normal.
* During battle, the hit points will count towards the Leaderboard score.
