They should let you buy mega snacks with money also not just crowns like they let you buy some mounts? I dont see what the problem would be to do that? It would help alot of people to to get their pet up their faster and other player would want to become member to make the money to do it? What do you think?
There is the option to garden to get snacks and mega snacks.
As you traverse through the Spiral, mobs, bosses, and dungeons can drop plants and crown plants that can give you great snacks.
Evil Magma Peas - rank 9 mega snack Couch Potatoes - rank 9 mega snack
Prickly Bear Cactus (purchase for gold, I believe at the vendor in Krok) - can give rank 8 mega snacks
There are many plants that give lower ranked snacks as well, plus plants give you reagents and TC.
Buying the Mega Snack pack is a quick way to get the snacks you need. Gardening can take a bit of time, especially collecting the amount of plants you want to start a garden. But, once you get a garden or two going, it becomes very productive and worthwhile.
I hatch and train a LOT of pets and still have over 1000 rank 9 snacks, and more than that for rank 8 snacks.
I think every pet trainer agrees here. The only way to get mega snacks is crowns or drops. Some we can buy with gold would be nice, but oh my they would cost a lot
It's a way for KI to make money, and I can understand that because this isn't just a game it's a business too. I find that it's not even worth the crowns to buy mega snacks. I usually find it best to buy or farm a decent plant (I find that Evil Magma Peas and Couch Potatoes are good plants for mega snacks and reagents). Overall the gardening option will end up saving you crowns and maybe give you some extra treasure cards and reagents you may be able to use in the future worlds.
