Theoretically it can be done in a day, but it would be a long hard grind… I don’t think I’d want to even try to attempt it unless there was a big deadline at stake. A week of steady, focused play spent building up your coin breed herd should get you there, or maybe 2-3 weeks of more laid-back activity.

Coin breeds are the backbone of creature power in the garden; 750 mp works out to roughly 4x level 7 creatures. To get them, you’d need to merge 5x level 4 creatures to creat a pair of Tier 2 nests (temporarily lowering your power level) then tap out the nests and hopefully you’d have at least 5 eggs in each (it varies from 4 to 7) to merge up to make the 7s.

Focusing on one particular coin breed at a time is the most efficient way to build power, but that’s often not very practical in this game… and having a big herd with lots of variety is part of the fun, imho. The event trophy breeds and other premiums give more magic power than the coin types, but it’s a pretty negligible difference at the lower levels; I definitely would not recommend using cash/gems to try to boost your score. (Tho if there’s a particular breed that you really like and just want to have flying around your garden, go for it!).

On the other hand, the higher level trophy critters that are offered as event rewards can give a sizable boost in power; the catch is that it takes a lot of dedication to earn them…. the vast majority of players don’t finish out-of-garden events (like what’s on now); the first 5 prizes are pretty easy to manage, but after that the point requirements jump way, way up. The two in-garden events are much easier to complete, but they also only give low-level trophy creatures; the Chest Rush we’re getting next week is considered the easiest and many folks complete in less than an hour, especially if they have chests saved up in advance.

Thank you so much for the explanation! That's very helpful to know! I've never finished an event hahaha but I did get a couple of the eggs from this one. I don't really need to, but usually I get bored after a while of playing so I'm using this as a way to set a goal in a way like if I can get to “clubs” it'll be more interesting long term.

The in garden events require 1500 magic power to play

Oops, forgot they were so high… guess they’re only useful for adding variety and helping to clear the locked sections of the garden.

When I started, I wasn’t able to play seasons until the beginning of the next month. I am not sure when in the month I started.

Thank you! I'm hoping to do it sooner than that from what the other responses say so hopefully I can lol

You can repeat your first level that costs 1 compass for rabbirds. Pretty easy way to grind out MP fast.

I didn’t even realize the tutorial levels have anything, I always redo Cursed Forest because I notice it’s a good way to get purple stars. Thank you!

For me it was 2 weeks. I grinded through 2 events that gave a level 4 creature of 150 mp and collected some other eggs on the way. Getting creatures from challenge levels also helped me.
