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.

Cash Shop Monthlies

Please welcome these brand-new Cash Shop creaturesβ€”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.

I have to agree with alaylith, the comments tasks are not good.

parona • 3 Feb 2023, 8:54 AM

Would it be a bad idea to give people the option to swap out one of their daily tasks for another?

kataclysm • 3 Feb 2023, 8:55 AM

@parona I had the same thought! Let me reroll these daily quests that do not spark joy.

crescentmoons • 3 Feb 2023, 8:56 AM

agree with the above comments....let me reroll some of this lol

parona • 3 Feb 2023, 8:57 AM

I just noticed that the "Use or Consume 3 Items" task has the word discarding listed twice.

nerdbear • 3 Feb 2023, 9:02 AM

I think to make everyone happy we *should* have a Spam forum topic area. I've been on another pet site for a long time and one of the activities is to post on the forum and people will use the forums to go there. 😊

jazzyleia • 3 Feb 2023, 9:05 AM

Wait till you guys see what other dailies there are!

doublechin • 3 Feb 2023, 9:05 AM

As already pointed out, I am not liking the commenting on site blog post. I'm not usually a commenter in the first place and it makes me uncomfortable having to make not 1, but 3 posts that are "of value"

froot • 3 Feb 2023, 9:06 AM

^^ that's a super smart idea

froot • 3 Feb 2023, 9:06 AM

i've already commented on this blog post (i commented when it came out lol) and it feels redundant to type out an empty message here for the sole purpose of completing a task

brookie • 3 Feb 2023, 9:07 AM

@doublechin I agree honestly

froot • 3 Feb 2023, 9:08 AM

like someone previously mentioned, i think it'd be a good idea for site blog commenting if there's a new blog post out on the day - most active players would have already commented by the day after

nerdbear • 3 Feb 2023, 9:11 AM

Anyways, I'm pretty sure the staff are looking into it but I just think it is posting spam since we aren't really contributing to anything of value. I feel like I'm trying to make this *not* spam as much as possible.

megamisama90 • 3 Feb 2023, 9:12 AM

First thought: what's going on here as the Blog is flooding. Second: Ah. Save me! Reading through all of these comments is so tiring. (Still haven't).

megamisama90 • 3 Feb 2023, 9:12 AM

And I thought it was bad enough to write to forums but this is on another level...

nerdbear • 3 Feb 2023, 9:13 AM

Anyways all, have a good day and drink lots of coffee. It is Friday after all! Woohoo the weekend!

megamisama90 • 3 Feb 2023, 9:14 AM

@parona, I like that idea! Skipping something like this would be great. I rather write to Forums.

funyarinpa • 3 Feb 2023, 9:14 AM

Woo-hoo! February means my birthday, chocolate, and a batch of adorable new creatures! Both new CSP and Cave monthlies are gorgeous! Also nice to see the Vleermus and Strawbearry back; some of the first CSP creatures I bought way back when. 😊 ❀️

stefrawr • 3 Feb 2023, 9:14 AM

I love all of this so much ❀️

funyarinpa • 3 Feb 2023, 9:17 AM

The daily task system is a very nice addition and brings life to some often-forgotten features of the site (i.e. the donations centre) though some of the tasks involving multiple posts (Blog, forum and wall) does feel 'spammy'.

wonder404exe • 3 Feb 2023, 9:22 AM

@megamisama90 Where would I post a Blog then? xD my OCD with reading the comments died out, theres too many ;_;

wonder404exe • 3 Feb 2023, 9:24 AM

I have a feeling that this is like the Advent tree, its not supposed to be the same with everyone but it is?

wonder404exe • 3 Feb 2023, 9:25 AM

new record of almost 400 COMMENTS?!?!?!?!!?! CFGVHBJGFCDXCTGBHJUGFC

myriadium • 3 Feb 2023, 9:26 AM

This is a great update! if you do dailies every day every month in five months you have enough to buy a cc creature! I'm def planning on buying the end of the year ones hehe

megamisama90 • 3 Feb 2023, 9:27 AM

No idea @wonder404exe. Sigh. I think that's what's happening to me too. I don't care to read more. It's kinda like reading nonsense in a way. Not saying everything is.

dibabeebees • 3 Feb 2023, 9:38 AM

*Grabby hands for the Loveer*

kediset • 3 Feb 2023, 9:46 AM

I absolutely adore the Loveer ❀️ lucky to have gotten one the other day πŸ˜ƒ

foxfury13 • 3 Feb 2023, 9:51 AM

here i am againπŸ’€ this daily doesn't make sense lol but oh well

raindrops • 3 Feb 2023, 9:58 AM

Hope I am able to do chocolates this year. ❀️

blub • 3 Feb 2023, 9:59 AM

I LOVE the idea of the Monthly Challenge! Through personally I like less interactive activities, I'm usually on Eggcave to unwind and prefer to not be social because it's draining for my introverted being. Also really like the monthlies 😊

solsticeplume • 3 Feb 2023, 10:06 AM

At least overall I’m enjoying the dailies system. Just hope the social tasks are removed or a refresh task button is added. Also hope this is the last of the social tasks that creeps up.

solsticeplume • 3 Feb 2023, 10:12 AM

Last obligatory post- Love the pink deer and the cash monthlies, very cute

thegeek • 3 Feb 2023, 10:12 AM

I'm loving the Monthly Challenges, but I'm not a fan of the Wall/Blog commenting. I'm happy to fiddle around in the forums for my dailies, but posting on a wall for the sake of posting is awfully spammy.

opalquinze • 3 Feb 2023, 10:29 AM

been said already, but i definitely agree with the 3 comments thing for a daily task (cuz it does seem "spammy" in a way) a refresh option for tasks we don't wanna do does sound nice (if implemented)

mango91 • 3 Feb 2023, 10:34 AM

The dailies are ok to me 😊

mango91 • 3 Feb 2023, 10:36 AM

@parona same here lol

kudo • 3 Feb 2023, 10:38 AM

here for an obligatory site blog post- they're going to get quite tedious real quick. on another note, it's nice to see so many active players.

tryvegan4theanimals • 3 Feb 2023, 10:38 AM

If you're reading this, I hope you're doing well 😊 ❀️

mysticgirl916 • 3 Feb 2023, 10:40 AM

I got the Loveer yesterday, it's so cute

opalquinze • 3 Feb 2023, 10:44 AM

2nd comment for this: really like the loveer's design (it's to my liking)

opalquinze • 3 Feb 2023, 10:54 AM

3rd comment for this: got 2 loveers from the cave (both dude and chick, so yeah, fitting for this month)

shrimp • 3 Feb 2023, 10:58 AM

Non-obligatory post - finally got my first monthly today after a cumulative 60 ish cave tries! ;D

noman15 • 3 Feb 2023, 10:59 AM

With hope the disgruntled blog posts may mean fewer for dailies in the future.

shrimp • 3 Feb 2023, 10:59 AM

obligatory comment for dailies - i think this is the most blog post comments ive seen in a while, if ever LOL

shrimp • 3 Feb 2023, 11:00 AM

final obligatory comment for dailies - good luck with the monthlies everyone! o7

mysticgirl916 • 3 Feb 2023, 11:24 AM

Have a good weekend everyone, and if you're experiencing cold weather, stay warm! 😊

sarikunezume • 3 Feb 2023, 11:32 AM

This blog task is going to be very difficult to do for me...

musicgurl333 • 3 Feb 2023, 11:32 AM

@minnie298a There is definitely a chance to increase clicks/feeds. When I used up the 3 toys/food on a pet today, one of the items increased their feed stats by 1. So it can happen! 😊

brookie • 3 Feb 2023, 11:35 AM

Happy Friday everyone! 😊

lunacharm1037 • 3 Feb 2023, 11:45 AM
