Welcome To February: Introducing The Monthly Challenge

February 1, 2023 at 12:00 AM

The Monthly Challenge

Welcome to February at Egg Cave! We have exciting news. Today, we'd like to introduce the Monthly Challenge, which is an achievements and dailies system that allows you to earn CaveCash without a direct buy. You can earn 100 CaveCash when you complete 25 days worth of dailies (and collect other rewards along the way). Dailies rotate and reset every day at midnight ECT.

How It Works

Visit and access the Monthly Challenge from your verified main account. Each month, you'll need to complete 2-factor authentication to access the Monthly Challenge. Haven't verified your main account yet? You can do that under Preferences with a valid phone number. The Monthly Challenge is largely hidden or out-of-view for side accounts and unverified main accounts.

  • Every day, there is a brand-new set of dailies to complete around Egg Cave that reward you for things you're likely already doing
  • For each daily you complete, you can claim an EC reward
  • After you complete all of the current day's dailies, you can claim the daily reward which is an 100% increased chance of finding a Cave monthly in the Cave
  • After you complete 25 days worth of dailies in a month (note that you don't have to be on every day!) you can claim your Monthly Challenge reward of 100 CaveCash

How The Dailies System Work

We'll explain some of the functionality behind how the dailies system works.

  • Every day, there are 2 dailies selected that are guaranteed to be very easy (i.e. one-click or post a few comments)
  • Every day, one of the dailies will always be feeding creatures
  • Over the course of several days, you'll notice that dailies have a low, medium, and high goal to complete; this is randomized. For example, when asked to feed creatures, sometimes it'll be 100 (low), 200 (medium), or 300 (high). Some days will be harder than others!

Community Feedback

This is the initial release of the Monthly Challenge and we know and understand that things will need to be updated, changed, and tweaked. We're here to listen to the community to build something that's challenging but also fun. Please visit the ⭐️💰 Monthly Challenge & Dailies Feedback Megathread at the Forums for all community discussion and feedback.

Please welcome these brand-new Cash Shop creatures—the Ryukura and the Smitten. Do you have a favorite? What's yours?

Cave Monthlies

There are new creatures in the Cave this month, too. Say hello to the Loveer and Mariamourette.

Aaaw man, I only have 600 CC left, but I'm so tempted to grab a Ryukura. Grats @dragrawr and @daisycat (I'll try to get a Smitten eventually too).

frankenstein • 1 Feb 2023, 12:06 AM

*frantically cramming every Loveer into pockets, crying* I love them, I love them with my whole heart :,0

daisycat • 1 Feb 2023, 12:09 AM

@pewpewkachu No worries! ❤️ You should get whichever you prefer most first. c:

heatherm19 • 1 Feb 2023, 12:10 AM

So excited about the new feature I forgot to even look at the new creatures! Love them! I think my favorite is the Loveer, it's just adorable! Congrats to the users who suggested the awesome new creatures.

idol • 1 Feb 2023, 12:10 AM

Congrats! I really love the CC pets like I do every year ^^ Can’t wait for the Chocolate event! ^^

idol • 1 Feb 2023, 12:11 AM

I need more CC to get at least one of both for sure! T.T thank you everyone and the staff for the pets this year! ^^

mr-blue-bones • 1 Feb 2023, 12:12 AM

❤️ ❤️ ❤️

frankenstein • 1 Feb 2023, 12:19 AM

How do you know if you pulled the first of a monthly from the Cave?

prairie • 1 Feb 2023, 12:20 AM

NPC's art is stunning but what's their name? :0 Fleur the Flor or such?

dragrawr • 1 Feb 2023, 12:22 AM

@prairie the art is Soo Pretty I was so surprised by this new banner art like WOW

raitonchidori • 1 Feb 2023, 12:23 AM

For those who need to complete Clicks/Feeds challenge, feel free to do that on @coldplay

mightyeglantine • 1 Feb 2023, 12:23 AM

Very excited for daily challenges to complete! More motivation to log on everyday is always appreciated ❤️

okami • 1 Feb 2023, 12:24 AM

@frankenstein As far as I know, you'll have to manually change the creature ID number in the URL, decreasing it until you either find another of that species (meaning you didn't get the first), or waiting till the steal date is listed as last month. If that makes sense?

snowywinter • 1 Feb 2023, 12:25 AM

Congratulations on your creatures becoming a reality this month @dragrawr, @daisycat, @twinkle, and @ida92 ! ! ! < 3

dragrawr • 1 Feb 2023, 12:26 AM

@snowywinter thank you!! I’m glad I got my creature in with the Smitten ><!! 💕 me and daisy/twinkle were hoping for that!!

snowywinter • 1 Feb 2023, 12:30 AM

As for voting on creature re-release I'm disappointed... I thought it would be an actual poll, not freeform. Can we pick from all the creatures site-wide, or is it just ones from certain months/yrs? Parameters should be specified. / re: MC rewards, will need a forum post.

salvalli • 1 Feb 2023, 12:30 AM

New creatures are cute. But Challenges? Nice. Now, um, how do I get the last 2 of the 7 dailies to display? I've done 5/7, but my list isn't updating and I'd like a good chance at the monthlies, please. Is anyone else having this issue?

salvalli • 1 Feb 2023, 12:32 AM

Ah, nevermind! It's been changed from 7 dailies to 5. Time to hunt!

calenlass • 1 Feb 2023, 12:33 AM

Congratulations all you guys. I'm sooo happy for all of you ❤️

pegasasu • 1 Feb 2023, 12:33 AM

wow! love the new update 😊

jlya • 1 Feb 2023, 12:34 AM

@salvalli thank you! I could have sworn it said 7 dailies and went to see if anyone else had commented, and when I went back it was 5. Kind of thought I was crazy for a second xD

heatherm19 • 1 Feb 2023, 12:35 AM

@snowywinter Same, from what I've seen I thought re-releases were picked only from certain months/years at a time... I believe I remember it officially being said that a creature can only be re-released in the same month it was released originally, but with a freeform box--

salvalli • 1 Feb 2023, 12:36 AM

@jlya It did! But there were only 5 in the side bar and I'm on laptop/desktop, so it's not you! Also, yeah, got another 2023 egg (fish-butt dragon!) and the cutie deer with my boost~ I wonder if the increased chances stick around all day...

heatherm19 • 1 Feb 2023, 12:36 AM

-- it's likely a lot of the submissions won't follow that. A bit of guidance would be helpful.

daisycat • 1 Feb 2023, 12:37 AM

@snowywinter Thank you!! I'm so overjoyed right now. :,) ❤️

idol • 1 Feb 2023, 12:40 AM

Also I love the start of the community idea. Maybe a quest idea could be donating to the adoption or the donation center for new players? A way to give people maybe incentive to do those can help pets circulate even? Just a suggestion ^^

Ian • 1 Feb 2023, 12:45 AM

@salvalli was a mistake! Thanks for pointing it out. It was supposed to say 5.

heatherm19 • 1 Feb 2023, 12:50 AM

Aaaaand I completed all of today's dailies in less than a hour! (I was going fast, wanted to see if I could, lol)

idol • 1 Feb 2023, 12:51 AM

Well I meant all players but it will be mostly helpful to new players if they can get other stuff in a more obtainable way I think. ^^

spell • 1 Feb 2023, 12:52 AM

Love the Ryukura and Mariamourette 😊

dragrawr • 1 Feb 2023, 12:52 AM

I think there should be a drop-down menu for the re release poll ❤️

snowywinter • 1 Feb 2023, 12:54 AM

@idol I LOVE the idea of X number of donations to the Center being a random daily challenge! (I think 3 items sounds fair w/o overwhelming the system.)

dragrawr • 1 Feb 2023, 12:58 AM

@spell thank you so much! I feel like a happy little kid in a candy store rn !!

mars • 1 Feb 2023, 12:58 AM

My gosh it's like everyone's being treated at the same time. Congrats on all the creature suggestions ❤️ I saw them around and the Loveer is definitely a fave

sapphire12 • 1 Feb 2023, 1:00 AM

Shoot I was on my side again no wonder the dailies didnt show lol. But yes. So so excited for everything and everyone ❤️

salvalli • 1 Feb 2023, 1:01 AM

You're very welcome, @Ian ! (Is it okay if I ping? Hope it is. Sorry if it isn't!) Additionally, I'd like to mention that my monthly progress bar is still sitting at 0/25, even thought I've done all my tasks. Unless it waits until end of day to tally if I've done all the dailies?

musicgurl333 • 1 Feb 2023, 1:08 AM

@idol I love the idea of donating to the adoption/donation center as a daily quest idea!

spell • 1 Feb 2023, 1:11 AM

Agree with the dropdown menu idea for the unvaulted species vote - I can't tell which CSPs are from March unless they are clover themed :')

idol • 1 Feb 2023, 1:27 AM

I added my suggestion to the thread. I don’t know if anyone noticed but there was a thread posted specifically for discussion about the community challenge ^^
