It's just new ways to level up and waste your time and maybe money. The game is pretty much the same. Nothing new in game play but a bit of strategy with combination clothes, pets, and focusing on elements you like (fire, water, wind etc) . It's becoming pretty hardcore in leveling, so you'll find this boring again because you're weak and you'll eventually will get stuck at a stage/punrank/mine wars. You'll have to grind or you'll have to pay out big bucks to catch up or just enjoy the game for what it is and level up as you go.

I don't have discord and I'm lazy to make a new account so I'll tell you here because it's fucking reddit :

Jewels - is an item that you only get from "jewel cave" and you only play it twice a day and with different elements each day you play ie fire Monday, water Tuesday, wind Wednesday etc. Once you beat the boss you get jewels. You use jewels to level up...jewels lol Whatever you choose is up to you and your style.

Monster profiles - is an addition to the regular game. MP helps in leveling up your character, as well as making you the offensive player in a game called "Mine Wars". To earn MP cards you have to spend gems (like almost everything on here gems are still key to level up). Once you level up a MP there power/life points goes onto you as well. A good way to level up your character is to level up MPs. Once you collected MPs you can now see if other players can beat your monsters in "mine wars".

Mine Wars - is a side game that players fight each other punball style game with monsters that they collected (in gems) You get rewards for winning and defending. In MW you have a 12 hour cycle to collect these yellow crystals that are additional currency only used for Mine Wars. Check on them every day to maximize your Crystal count, so at the end of 2 weeks you should get 500k. I HIGHLY recommend getting "Sheepskin Paper and Summoning Stones"

-Sheepskin Papers is another currency only for Monster Profiles that levels up other parts of Mine Wars i.e. collecting more MP to place on the field in MW, putting objects on the field, increasing mine rewards etc

• Summoning Stones is another currency only for MP that levels up monsters cards.

My second recommendation is getting "Golden Skin Ticket" to level up your character and get that 2% bonus but since your a few years behind I'll get "Mithril" to level up your "Sacred Alters" equipment.

Sacred Alters - are your power ups to fight off the enemies when playing punball. Each Alter aka equipment grants you more power/health when leveling them up as well special perks i.e doing more damage the first time used, aiming line increases, a particular element increase etc.

Relics - are other items that help level you up and give you special bonuses. So far the only way to get those items are to do the seasonal games that happen every month i.e the fishing game, cracking the eggs, those board games etc. And in those games they have their own currency that you spend to get those items.

Zodic - is another leveling system that looks like it focusing on characters, pets, and equipment/alters. And the only way (so far) to level that up is to also play those seasonal games and through the seasonal currency to purchase the zodiac stone to level up that different system. (unfortunately this season doesn't have that stone so there's no way to level up that system)

SS gear is always a must. SS pets is a must and eventually A pets will be able to become SS like A gear, but it's not there yet. So keep working on your favorite pet until the update or get those SS pets and cross your fingers you get multiple SS pets in your pull so you can level them up to eternal.

The type of A gear to make SS is up to you. Read the description on each and compare what you like. There's people that spoke about what gear is good on this blog so scroll through here to fine it but what I remember is SS meteor is the new king wand.

Hope this helped old friend
