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 β­οΈπŸ’° Monthly Challenge & Dailies Feedback Megathread at the Forums for all community discussion and feedback.

February's Unvaulted Creatures

February unvaulted creatures are the Vleermus and Strawbearry. Get yours while supplies last! They're each 1000 CC.

Cave Monthlies

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

@sapphire12 same it’s beautiful 😍

sapphire12 • 1 Feb 2023, 10:56 AM

@idol it's canon that her crown is actually made of CC lol

idol • 1 Feb 2023, 11:14 AM

@sapphire12 she must have a secret cause I didn’t know you could get CC in 1’ks and 5’s! πŸ˜‚ she’s amazing in every way!

structuresfromsilence • 1 Feb 2023, 11:31 AM

I would love to see the Shamrue, Raicorn, Lal, and Leynne rereleased next month 😊

daisycat • 1 Feb 2023, 11:37 AM

@shadowfaxe Thank you so much!! I'm really grateful it was chosen! ❀️

dragrawr • 1 Feb 2023, 12:00 PM

@shadowfaxe Thank you 😊

snowywinter • 1 Feb 2023, 12:04 PM

Oh, okay, so the Mariamourette is *supposed* to be creepy. Whew. Now I don't feel bad saying it. (Just got one and read the creature description.) (See I do like surprises on this site. Sometimes. Just especially not on CRW >.<)

sandara • 1 Feb 2023, 12:26 PM

Finally ❀️

nanami • 1 Feb 2023, 1:16 PM

This is really interesting, i already finished the tasks and got an Unixi from the cave it was not a new monthly but i'm not mad, i like Unixis 😊

asbe • 1 Feb 2023, 1:32 PM

Smitten is amazing. I am getting one on my b-day ^^

crazyflower • 1 Feb 2023, 1:37 PM

Is there another way to verify if one doesn't have/doesn't want to use a phone number?

snowywinter • 1 Feb 2023, 1:59 PM

@crazyflower. The short answer is no there isn't. I'll PM you the longer answer.

Ian • 1 Feb 2023, 2:20 PM

Thanks for ALL of the amazing feedback! Sifting and sorting through! UPDATE: You can now toggle the visibility of the dailies sidebar box and it resets (re-expands) every day. It's now located beneath regular user data/info.

frankenstein • 1 Feb 2023, 2:31 PM

@bluewolf thank you! That makes sense. Now that I'm home from work, I'm excited to work on the Dailies O:

glaselkj • 1 Feb 2023, 2:40 PM

i havent gotten the new monthly cave pets yet but i really want the female loveer the most cause its cute

sunfire103 • 1 Feb 2023, 2:40 PM

I really hope this helps the link exchange. Also 100% change of cave monthly to show up... it landed on a common so didn't get one lol. Not sure if that's worded correctly.

princesspika • 1 Feb 2023, 2:48 PM

Oh come on... I still am *begging* for another way to verify main accounts 'cause stuff like this looks so *fun* but I don't have a [yeep] phone--

seraph • 1 Feb 2023, 3:01 PM

Post 3 comments on any user profiles. (Spam is not tolerated!) - but this is literally asking for us to spam...

hinokazes • 1 Feb 2023, 3:03 PM

@princesspika Even people with a phone may not profit from it because they refuse to give their phone informations to a pet collection game. So... I'm in the same boat as you '-'

hinokazes • 1 Feb 2023, 3:04 PM

@seraph from what I understood by reading some posts, you can actually post in your own wall (then delete the messages) to do the quest

dougprishpreed • 1 Feb 2023, 3:06 PM

@structuresfromsilence Bumping your post "I would love to see the Shamrue, Raicorn, Lal, and Leynne rereleased next month 😊" I'll vote for the Raicorn and Shamrue too 😸 Dropdown menu would be very helpful for rerelease voting @ian when you have time

glaselkj • 1 Feb 2023, 3:50 PM

still no loveer girl yet if anyone finds any extras of that cave monthly message me if u get any ok?

sky • 1 Feb 2023, 5:36 PM

I haven't been actively social around here but wanted to express how much I love the artwork of the Flor, also I love the added dailies feature! Well done EC staff on putting this all together.

jazzyleia • 1 Feb 2023, 5:38 PM

If anyone wants to use my cove to get credit on commenting, feel free XD Also I'm EXCITED for these to finally go live for you guys!

dragonnn • 1 Feb 2023, 6:21 PM

Really nice bunch of new creatures this month.

wonder404exe • 1 Feb 2023, 6:33 PM

I FINALLY GOT A NUMBER

Ian • 1 Feb 2023, 6:50 PM

@wonder404exe YAY!

dragrawr • 1 Feb 2023, 7:40 PM

I don’t know if I should freeze my creators mark Ryukura or not πŸ˜—πŸ˜­ and if so on which stage πŸ˜­πŸ˜­πŸ’•πŸŒ· they all make me so happy !

stefrawr • 1 Feb 2023, 8:03 PM

Very interesting! Just finished my first day of dailies. 😊

glaselkj • 1 Feb 2023, 8:14 PM

drag i havent gotten the new monthly cave pets like loveer yet if u get this pet for me as a female pm me when u find one ok?

viltuvitrast • 1 Feb 2023, 8:16 PM

What's the easiest way to know which CSP creatures were released in March?

glaselkj • 1 Feb 2023, 8:17 PM

ian u should make the new monthlys like the current months one doesnt show much cause the basic ones show more can u try and fix this

heatherm19 • 1 Feb 2023, 9:33 PM

@glaselkj It's the first day, be patient. I didn't get any of last month's monthlies until the 3rd I believe. You have all month, no need to be concerned about it yet.

heatherm19 • 1 Feb 2023, 9:34 PM

@Ian is there any plan at all to help the users without access to a cell phone? I feel bad that users are going to miss out because of something they might not be able to control.

mithmel • 1 Feb 2023, 9:55 PM

I loved the novelty. Loved the idea. I loved everything. Thank you so much!!!

lynncrow • 2 Feb 2023, 12:09 AM

not a fan that you have to donate all 10 items at once XD if someone claims it before you send all 10 it subtracts from your number

lynncrow • 2 Feb 2023, 12:15 AM

actually it just seems buggy in general, says i only donated 2 things when i just sent 4 at the same time

Orderedchaos • 2 Feb 2023, 12:16 AM

Heads up: Looks like mass donating items is messed up. If you donate individually they will get counted for the daily

Orderedchaos • 2 Feb 2023, 12:16 AM

I've let @ian know, but it might not be till morning that it gets fixed

lynncrow • 2 Feb 2023, 12:16 AM

glad it wasn't just me then lol

sapphire12 • 2 Feb 2023, 12:23 AM

Love seeing the donations full

lynncrow • 2 Feb 2023, 12:34 AM

My donations are stuck at 7 even when I do them one at a time. Guess I'll hold off on this one for now

stefrawr • 2 Feb 2023, 12:43 AM

@Ian I donated all 10 items at once and it didn't register it at all. Still at 0 out of 10... I then went to donation center, it was crazy. I got screenshots incase they are needed. Seems like a bug.

lynncrow • 2 Feb 2023, 12:43 AM

Ok I tried it again, my count went up when i clicked on the item and added it from there rather than using the check box.

lynncrow • 2 Feb 2023, 12:44 AM

@stefrawr orderedchaos is tracking it and already sent him a message

stefrawr • 2 Feb 2023, 12:47 AM

@lynncrow Thanks, don't know how I missed those comments about it haha. I'll blame it on needing to go to sleep. 😴

lynncrow • 2 Feb 2023, 12:48 AM

It's all good. If you click the image of the item and donate them one at a time that way, it seems to work. Clicking the check box and sending them that way is a little busted.

dragonnn • 2 Feb 2023, 1:14 AM

@lynncrow Thank you for sharing how to donate currently. I was wondering why my counter hadn't gone up.

yrnaelle • 2 Feb 2023, 4:30 AM

I've read almost everything but I still don't understand why m'y donations items aren't counting for thé daily quest 😢

spell • 2 Feb 2023, 4:54 AM

@yrnaelle Try clicking on the item and donating them individually from there - if you try to donate from the inventory I think it doesn't count right now due to a bug
