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.

February's Unvaulted Creatures

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

Cash Shop Monthlies

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

Many thanks to @dragrawr for the Ryukura and @daisycat and @twinkle for the Smitten. The first of their kind have been added to your accounts for free with the Creator's Mark.

Cave Monthlies

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

@ida92 submitted the initial idea for the Loveer years ago. The first of its kind has been added to your account for free with the Creator's Mark.

@nut Treating these like homework assignments is actually a great way to look at it, imo. Some are fun, some take more effort, some are frustrating.

pwuffy • 3 Feb 2023, 12:21 AM

@newlife yeah they are both great! i think i might pick up a smitten, they're just too cute x)

newlife • 3 Feb 2023, 12:22 AM

@pwuffy For sure! I think I'll grab two and freeze one in first then the other one in second stage, really like both stages

heatherm19 • 3 Feb 2023, 12:22 AM

Oh! I just thought to wonder, the task says "Post 3 comments on recent Site Blog posts." .... What exactly is considered recent? Any that haven't been closed? The last month? What? Seems like that should have been a bit clearer.

salvalli • 3 Feb 2023, 12:23 AM

@heatherm19 Big mood on this. I'm super casual. I have no idea how to use items. And I really dislike having to spend EC to earn EC, unless I'm earning MORE than I'm spending.

xlover • 3 Feb 2023, 12:24 AM

I love both monthlies, hoping to get my hands of at least two of each~

sulvas • 3 Feb 2023, 12:25 AM

Just as a tip to people who don't know. Using the same retired toy over and over again counts. I've been just using items on the same pet as I don't like increasing the items collected on ones that haven't used any before. Same reason I don't use travels.

distorted • 3 Feb 2023, 12:26 AM

finally!! a cc earning system!

xlover • 3 Feb 2023, 12:26 AM

Ryukura and Smitten are both definitely going on my wishlist, they’re just too cute

distorted • 3 Feb 2023, 12:27 AM

also who’s excited for the chocolate extravaganza thing?? i completely forgot abt it last year lol

distorted • 3 Feb 2023, 12:27 AM

@xlover THEYRE SO CUTE!! i want a ryukura so badlyy

by-joycee • 3 Feb 2023, 12:27 AM

Not me looking for almost 5 minutes at my screen thinking what to post.. anyways.. loving the new cave monthlies. 😊

xlover • 3 Feb 2023, 12:28 AM

@distorted Though I’ve never done it before I’m totally excited for it!

amelialightwing • 3 Feb 2023, 12:29 AM

Kind of a... Interesting way to have people be more active.

distorted • 3 Feb 2023, 12:29 AM

@xlover so basically!! you feed a buncha creatures for a chance to earn chocolates! we have this whole thing where you haveta give and recievw chocolates and theres a leaderboard for that! whoever is in that board by the wnd of the mornthn gets a bucnha cc! i think it was 1k

distorted • 3 Feb 2023, 12:30 AM

@amelialightwing fr im barely online but i needta get my friend something for her bfay and im not missing ghe chance to get cc to sav eup

amelialightwing • 3 Feb 2023, 12:31 AM

Love the new cave monthlies btw! The Ryukara has definitely caught my eye this year. Thank you artists for your work in creating them.

amelialightwing • 3 Feb 2023, 12:32 AM

@distorted Totally fair. Do look out in user shops for 50cc vouchers some people sell as well. It'll definitely help get that going faster too. I don't know if you already knew that. ^-^;;

distorted • 3 Feb 2023, 12:33 AM

@amelialightwing i know!! i just seem to nevwr get lucky 💔

by-joycee • 3 Feb 2023, 12:36 AM

I already found 2 Mariamourette in the cave, no luck on the Loveer yet.. I guess some creatures are a little harder to find..?

amelialightwing • 3 Feb 2023, 12:36 AM

@distorted That's fair. I hope you get enough CC for their gift! ^-^/

captaincookies • 3 Feb 2023, 12:37 AM

One thing I do have to say about the consuming items challenge is that it is very humorous to image my poor creatures chugging an entire bottle of vinaigrette dressing though

daisycat • 3 Feb 2023, 12:39 AM

I came on and was wondering why the comments on this blog seemed to skyrocket. Now I know why lol.

distorted • 3 Feb 2023, 12:39 AM

@captaincookies i giggled while reading this- now im imagining my kalown running around with the plastic knife item from halloween

daisycat • 3 Feb 2023, 12:40 AM

@captaincookies "my poor creatures chugging an entire bottle of vinaigrette dressing" LOL. This is great. XD

daisycat • 3 Feb 2023, 12:42 AM

Since item use is brought up~ Maybe not many care for this, but I'd love to be able to have a "remove all" or "delete" option for a creature's items used. Like, get it back to zero.

snowywinter • 3 Feb 2023, 12:43 AM

*with the wild glassy-eyed look of a mad-hatter llamataur prancing through a field of flowers, posts the spammiest of mod approved spamming posts ever*

minnie298a • 3 Feb 2023, 12:45 AM

@distorted Did it change last year? I thought the event leader boards for chocs and seeds where for bragging rights only with no rewards. Prizes were only awarded for gobbler hunting (which is 1k CC and a creature).

snowywinter • 3 Feb 2023, 12:45 AM

Get your Flooding hats on, the Monsoon is coming! - Does anyone already have their boats built? This Flood is going to be of Epic proportions! - May my Cove & I hitch a ride?

snowywinter • 3 Feb 2023, 12:46 AM

Too bad there were cans of processed pork product in the General Food Store for me to feed to my pet.

sartre • 3 Feb 2023, 12:46 AM

I found in the cave 1 Loveer and 2 Hoxrin

starlight4428 • 3 Feb 2023, 12:47 AM

I love the Loveer!

distorted • 3 Feb 2023, 12:48 AM

@minnie298a im not entirely sure!! i didnt participate in it, but u migjt be righjt

tidfe • 3 Feb 2023, 12:48 AM

If the mods don't want spam, maybe limiting the social posts to one seems like a good idea XD Otherwise, I'm like the daily tasks and I'm loving the fact that they change everyday. Also enjoy the fact that you don't have to do the tasks everyday to get the big reward.

by-joycee • 3 Feb 2023, 12:51 AM

@lululoo Yeah, i was thinking about getting one from the auctions, but it's also just the beginning of the month, so i still have time to get at least one from the cave, lol 😊

heatherm19 • 3 Feb 2023, 12:53 AM

@distorted It will be my first Chocotravaganza and I'm so excited! It sounds like a lot of fun, reading past year's posts.

spell • 3 Feb 2023, 12:54 AM

I think 3 blog posts is a bit much

spell • 3 Feb 2023, 12:54 AM

There's only so much to say

spell • 3 Feb 2023, 12:54 AM

Especially if people already posted on them when they came out

snowywinter • 3 Feb 2023, 12:54 AM

@daisycat the Delete feature on used items in this case would be really helpful. The quest is fine for people trying to meet those "most items ever" records, but I like to curate things that tell a story. 24 hrs is not enough time for me to think of something & acquire items.

sapphire12 • 3 Feb 2023, 12:55 AM

Tbh this "everybody post a comment on a blog post" thing really made all the lurkers come out of the woodwork lol

heatherm19 • 3 Feb 2023, 12:56 AM

@captaincookies Omg that literally made me laugh out loud. Interesting mental image!

daisycat • 3 Feb 2023, 12:57 AM

@snowywinter Another case would be if you trade for a pet and you want to clear their items used, or remove specific ones. And some users want all their pets to be at zero. It would be helpful in any case. :-)

lynncrow • 3 Feb 2023, 12:59 AM

I dislike this daily. Posting on a blog post? I get it, but 3 times? This one has been pretty active already. So it's either, resay something that's already been brought up, or start side conversations.

pewpewkachu • 3 Feb 2023, 1:00 AM

I agree with people on the blog post task. I've already said everything I wanted to say on this one and don't see the point on commenting on any of the older posts since they're now old news.

lynncrow • 3 Feb 2023, 1:00 AM

Which really doesn't help anyone looking to see if anyone is having issues like yesterday's donation bug. The pertinent posts get burried.

lynncrow • 3 Feb 2023, 1:01 AM

Also for the item daily, it says discarding twice.

snowywinter • 3 Feb 2023, 1:07 AM

@sapphire12 it sure did! // *waves 'Hi!' to welcome all the lurkers to their temporary foray into the public light*

minnie298a • 3 Feb 2023, 1:08 AM

@distorted I may be wrong. I just can't remember getting anything for being on those leader boards, not even the 25k ec awarded to the monthly ones like feeds, clicks and quests. But I did take a hiatus of most of last year so missed the choc event.

wolfmoon • 3 Feb 2023, 1:09 AM

Ooook, lol! This is an interesting way on getting people's attention 🤔
