With all the dropped pets (Jellyfish, Sea Turtle, Sea Dragon, and Spinyfish) and the newest Starfish found in Celestia I found I needed to revamp my NO PLAY method. The first step was to organize pets by the school treats (all Jellyfish went on the death or ice toons, the Sea Turtles went on the Life or Balance toons, the Spinyfish went on the Storm or Fire toons, and the Sea Dragons went one on each account). I was finding that taking the pet from baby to teen was using too many treats (I could not craft the treats fast enough in the time the pet energy regenerated for the next set of games). I found that if I played the first 11-20 games from baby to teen (125 points), this helped for when the next group of treats were requied for leveling to adult. I found that using the crafted treats and playing the first set was slow and tedious, but after that, a strictly NO PLAY method would work within the time frame of crafting the cereal treats.
THE NO OR LITTLE PLAY METHOD
OF LEVELING PETS
THE KEY HERE IS TO GET THE RIGHT PET ON THE RIGHT TOON FOR TREAT MAKING SO YOU LIMIT THE RECIPES YOU NEED TO BUY, WHILE USING YOUR PET ENERGY EFFICIENTLY. YOU CAN ALWAYS MOVE THE PET LATER ONCE YOU FIND OUT THE PET'S TALENTS. THIS METHOD ATTEMPTS TO LIMIT THE TYPE OF TREATS EACH TOON MUST CRAFT AND ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR PLAYING GAMES (SOMETIMES YOU JUST GET TIRED OF MINI GAMES).
1. DETERMINE PET SCHOOL TYPE: Organize your pets by school types (found in your book under the pet's name and by the type of pet it is). This is different from the type of school talents the pet may develop. We are only concerned with what treats it will like, and putting them on the toon that will be crafting those treats.
2. Match pets with toons as follows (WHEN MOVING PETS, TRY TO USE THE PET ENERGY BEFORE TAKING IT OUT OF THE SHARED BANK):
- BALANCE and LIFE pets/toons can be interchanged,
- STORM and FIRE pets/toons can be interchanged,
- ICE and DEATH pets/toons can be interchanged, then
- MYTH pets on Myth toons only.
3. COMPLEMENTING SCHOOL TREATS - Craft cereals on each toon according to school. You will want to make more treats for the beginning development that will match the pet's school. The second school treat will be used to complete the stats when leveling the pet to Epic.
- Balance and Life, craft equal amounts of each school cereal.
- Storm and Fire, craft equal amounts of each school cereal.
- Ice and Death, craft equal amounts of each school cereal.
- Myth need only the myth cereal.
4. BABY TO ANCIENT, THEN ANCIENT TO EPIC - Feed the pet matching school treats only from baby to ancient. Do not worry about completing the stats (Will, Agility, Intellect, Strength and Power) until development to epic. The complement school treat (Item 3 above) will help in completing out the stats. This will allow you to see the first 3 talents more quickly.
5. The Treats and where they can be found:
Key to this method is to use all your pet energy efficiently without the drudgery of playing the games. I do housework as I do this. Put them in the Dance game and just let the timer run out. At this point you can treat them. Try to stick with the loved cereals until they reach Ancient (most Balance pets are the only pets that do not love the same school cereal or like any of the other cereals).
MYTH PETS: Ambrose Cereal up to epic.
ICE PETS: Ice cereal treats up to ancient, then use Death cereal treats to complete out the stats.
BALANCE PETS: Balance cereal treats until ancient, then even the stats with Life cereal treats.
LIFE PETS: Life Cereal treats until ancient, then even the stats with Balance cereal treats.
DEATH PETS: Death cereal treats until ancient, then even the stats with Ice cereal treats.
STORM PETS: Storm cereal treats until ancient, then even the stats with Fire cereal treats.
FIRE PETS: Fire cereal treats until ancient then even the stats with Storm cereal treats.
