Does anyone know the spawn time for the butterflies? It seemed it was first 8 hours so I set an alarm for that but when I went to collect some things, they were back after 4 it seems, I just started playing about a week ago and already spent about $40 for the hero 6 chests and then another $40 for Alice in wonderland ones and still have a character left to try to get, that’s not counting money spent on gems and other packs so not even near to having fabric to do bo peeps costume, and would prefer not to have to pay more if given the chance later to get the rest, trying to get as much as I can for free and trying to let my 4 year old catch up on as much as she can on here, if anyone knows about butterfly spawn time or has tips on catching up a bit without spending a fortune, it would be so greatly appreciated, thanks and have a great day and/or night
10 every 4 hours. A good way to time it, if your not setting timers is to tie it in with your 4 hour Merlin Gathering Spell (If yours is available yet). That way if you do both at the same time you have a countdown clock (Merlin) that lets you know how long until the next spawn.
As far as spending money goes, that’s up to you. Since your such a new player I would suggest really reducing what your spending for now because your just gonna run into time walls and magic issues. The game has close to 200 characters, so I’d limit spending only on your favorites. As someone who started from the beginning, I use to spend a little during each event, but due to issue I have with greedy decisions they’ve made refuse to give them another cent. That’s my decision though, everyone has the right to do whatever they want and don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise.
We do have some permanent TS4 content coming in a little over 3 days and hopefully you’ve progressed enough that you’ll be able to start right away, but if not just keep plugging along. They also have an update 31 coming out soon and they’ve been saying it has “exciting changes/improvements coming”. A number of players, myself including, are waiting to find out what it is and deciding if we want to continue playing.
The game basically has 2 types of events that rotate back and forth. A movie based event, usually consisting of 7 characters and multiple attractions and usually last around 25 days. The other is a Tower Challange that usually last 15 days. You collect event currency (EC) and they have items you can buy, usually the return of a few characters/attraction, from or movie and usually a new character and/or a second premium character. Since your a new player and we don’t know what characters/attractions are tied into future events, you might not be able to get as far with some of the events.
If you do a google search for Disney Magic Kingdoms Wiki ( not sure about the DIS boards external sites linking policy), you’ll find a great resource that will give you any info you want about any character/attraction. Also great to let you see what you can expect with your progress and a history of when characters were released in the game.
Anyways, hope that helps and enjoy the game. Feel free to ask any questions and there are more than a few players who know a lot more about the game than me. Also, a word of advice, play at your pace and don’t let the game control what you do. Don’t let it become a grinding chore.
