Updates To The Monthly Challenge

Thank you all for your feedback for the monthly challenge and dailies system. We've made the following changes, based on your feedback.

Dailies Glitch Today

We apologize for the "empty dailies" glitch today. We are currently investigating the cause and are working to implement a fix! Today's dailies are now active and available to complete. We apologize for the reduced time to complete dailies today.

Approach The Cave Daily

The Approach The Cave daily requirements have been lowered and have been updated to the following low, medium, and high difficulty tiers:

  • Low tier: 10, New value: 10 (the same!)
  • Medium tier: 15, New value: 12
  • High tier: 20, New value: 15

Complete Quests Daily

The Complete Quests daily requirements have been lowered and have been updated to the following low, medium, and high difficulty tiers:

  • Low tier: 5, New value: 5 (the same!)
  • Medium tier: 10, New value: 7
  • High tier: 15, New value: 12

Claim Rewards: More EC and Chance For An Item

We've increased the EC reward (by up to double) for completing individual dailies. Second, we've introduced a 33% chance of receiving an unretired, non-Cash Shop item with each individual daily. The chance of item rewards is active immediately (don't have to wait until tomorrow!).

Nice! The quests daily was draining my bank and sanity, thank you! More EC and items is a very welcome bonus as well 😊

Ian • 20 Feb 2023, 2:03 PM

@bribri1114845 glad to hear these updates will help! 😸

dragrawr • 20 Feb 2023, 2:03 PM

This is lovely and I’m so happy eggcave listened to us and came up with a wonderful mechanic. Thanks all! πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•

jlya • 20 Feb 2023, 2:03 PM

Thank you for listening to feedback and resolving some issues ❀️ I especially appreciate the quests being lowered and the rewards being lifted.

okami • 20 Feb 2023, 2:05 PM

Thank you to all of the staff for being open and receptive to user feedback ❀️ That is a rare thing to find on sites nowadays, so it is extremely appreciated~

Ian • 20 Feb 2023, 2:05 PM

@dragrawr @jlya you're welcome! We're going for a little less "grind" and a bit more fun here 😊

mindwhiper • 20 Feb 2023, 2:08 PM

Thank you for hearing us, cool improvement, agreed with cave approach but NO NO NO NO NO NO NO 12 quests it's STILL TOO MUCH.

Ian • 20 Feb 2023, 2:12 PM

@ian_hives let's see how this initial round of changes feels. Then, after another week or so, we'd be open to receiving more feedback about more adjustments. Note that a new chance of item rewards helps give newer players items (no stockpile) to complete quests, donate items, etc

zoruna • 20 Feb 2023, 2:12 PM

Thank you for listening to us ! 😊 12 quests is still a bit high, but maybe the chance of getting an item by completing quests could compensate. Too bad I already validated mine. We will see tomorrow !

zoruna • 20 Feb 2023, 2:13 PM

For the cave, it's very good, considering that we start with 10 daily visits, before having the wait. Going from 20 to 15 reduces stress, so that's perfect ! Thank you ^^

Ian • 20 Feb 2023, 2:19 PM

@zoruna yeah, it's a lot less time for the ones that take more than 10 approaches

musicgurl333 • 20 Feb 2023, 2:20 PM

I’m so happy to see these changes! 😊 Thank you to the team for listening to the feedback! 😊

zoruna • 20 Feb 2023, 2:22 PM

I managed to do the 20 approaches, but I had to watch the screen a lot, waiting for the notification telling me that I could adopt again, so 20 was still a lot. 15 is much more affordable, especially if the cave is not nice and puts us in long wait times ^^

lynncrow • 20 Feb 2023, 2:27 PM

I like these changes and can't wait to see how it works out. 😊 Too bad I already claimed my dailies, maybe I'll get pizza tomorrow. XD

wonder404exe • 20 Feb 2023, 2:29 PM

:0 ITEMS

Ian • 20 Feb 2023, 2:31 PM

@lynncrow you'll be getting new items in no time! πŸ˜ƒ

Ian • 20 Feb 2023, 2:32 PM

murfijs • 20 Feb 2023, 2:36 PM

tysm for the update ❀️

salanderinlove • 20 Feb 2023, 2:37 PM

I'm so happy with this changes, the quests dailies are driving me insane xD Thanks for hearing us and considering our toughts!

frankenstein • 20 Feb 2023, 2:39 PM

Everything has been amazing so far. The pizza comment though, lmao! It's like being told to work hard for a company and being given pizza instead of raises XD retail has ruined me. Thanks for everything so far!!

nut • 20 Feb 2023, 2:42 PM

thank you for these changes!!!

mr-blue-bones • 20 Feb 2023, 2:43 PM

Ohhh, I love the chance for an item and the increased ec reward! :0

mithmel • 20 Feb 2023, 2:45 PM

Many players don't have enough time to do Quests. If you want to put hard level put 5 and not 12. OK? OK!

shrimp • 20 Feb 2023, 2:48 PM

Thank you for the update! ❀️ :]

chapus • 20 Feb 2023, 2:51 PM

oooh lovely, happy to hear about the changes, especially for the Cave attempts and the rewards!! do wish that the amount of days needed to complete this month were lower cause it's a shorter month haha

Ian • 20 Feb 2023, 2:52 PM

@frankenstein hahaha, sorry! I hope that it's actually better than pizza πŸ˜‹

raitonchidori • 20 Feb 2023, 3:09 PM

Thanks for the updates, @Ian. Something I'd like to suggest is about Quests. It would be awesome if there was a low chance of receiving a retired, non-Cash Shop item from each quest. Like a retired toy after completing a toy quest. Of course, with a really low chance, like 1%

sorrow • 20 Feb 2023, 3:10 PM

i work full time and still managed to do most of the old β€œdifficult” tasks but this is much much much appreciated! def gonna feel less stressed with them from now on!

Ian • 20 Feb 2023, 3:13 PM

@raitonchidori I like this idea! Considering

mindwhiper • 20 Feb 2023, 3:18 PM

@Ian I will hope that everything will be fine, honestly! This is a very interesting idea with items too, most tasks deserves good reward. And maybe if 12 quests appear only 3-4-5 times a month, it won't be so exhausting. In any case, thank you so much for updates and attention.

kataclysm • 20 Feb 2023, 3:25 PM

Nice one! Thanks team ❀️

daisycat • 20 Feb 2023, 3:31 PM

@frankenstein "It's like being told to work hard for a company and being given pizza instead of raises" πŸ‘€ This was my immediate thought once I read that pizza thing. XD

sandara • 20 Feb 2023, 3:54 PM

That's great, thanks for your hard work EC team ❀️

solaris • 20 Feb 2023, 3:55 PM

@raitonchidori I was just about to comment something similar! It’s so hard to try to complete item collections. This would at least give us a chance!

valorieviolet • 20 Feb 2023, 4:05 PM

I really like that we're getting items now 😊

pewpewkachu • 20 Feb 2023, 4:14 PM

@raitonchidori Yeah, quests definitely need something to make them a little more worth doing, considering how much we have to spend on them and how long it takes to actually be able to afford something from the vend machine.

stormwarden • 20 Feb 2023, 4:58 PM

definitely looking forward to seeing how these changes reflect in my experience with the dailies! i can already anticipate the cave approach one being a big improvement but I'm still a bit wary about the quest one. fingers crossed that I get items from my dailies

crazyangel4life • 20 Feb 2023, 5:38 PM

I'm glad that you guys are fixing them.

elluwah • 20 Feb 2023, 5:51 PM

Still a biiiit iffy on the quests (I consider 5 to be a difficult challenge as it is πŸ™ˆ) but everything else is wonderful! The cave adjustment is perfect and I love that we’re getting a chance to receive items too. Thank you for the update! ❀️

valorieviolet • 20 Feb 2023, 6:00 PM

Maybe triple that EC reward... hehe

shirothekittehlover • 20 Feb 2023, 6:10 PM

....FINALLY. (I've crunched up my time when I should've prepared for school but uh-)

heatherm19 • 20 Feb 2023, 6:14 PM

Again I'm impressed with the staff's communication and willingness to tweak things based on user feedback. Have I mentioned lately how much I love this game? I still think 12 quests in a day is a huge ask, I think the other dailies should all be low-tier on those days.

heatherm19 • 20 Feb 2023, 6:15 PM

An I'll admit I'm unreasonably happy about the chance of getting an item as a reward! *is apparently a hoarder here*

jazzyleia • 20 Feb 2023, 6:19 PM

@heatherm19 - And we appreciate all of you for being willing to communicate with us on what works and doesn't!

dragrawr • 20 Feb 2023, 9:07 PM

I got 4 travels today so happy!!

saturna • 20 Feb 2023, 10:50 PM

Very happy with these changes-- Thank you Egg Cave team! 😊

snowywinter • 20 Feb 2023, 11:19 PM

Already posted in the forum, but I LOVE that there's a bit of an increase in EC and items have been added for Daily rewards! πŸ˜ƒ | Cave approaches seem perfect! Still think required number of Quests is too high, should be capped at 10.

twinkle • 20 Feb 2023, 11:59 PM

I ❀️ Eggcave! Thank you, devs 😊

dragiigy • 21 Feb 2023, 2:42 AM

I still love whole event, no matter the number of quests, cave huntings, small rewards ..... 😊

ahgirltc • 21 Feb 2023, 2:45 AM

great changes! thank you for listening to the community 😊 I also do agree quests should be capped at 10 though.
