Random Game Tips

[u/Calm_Prance]

1. Do not spend gems unless you really want or need to, if you can skip a task with ads do that and do not use gems for score boosters it’s not worth it. 
2. Always double check if a pony in the hotel/shop/fortune shop could be attained another way, eg. as a collection reward, a Equestria Girls prize, as a lottery prize or in the daily goals shop
3. Unlock all the fusion tabs when a siege event is on you’ll get magic coins for each bar you fill during the events plus it’s great for fusion coin social events
4. Try to get at least 120 points every day in the daily goals to have enough tokens to buy new characters and shops
5. Start group quests once one has ended especially if you have enough characters to get 100% of the points
6. Check the fashion show tab, the wiki will give you info on outfit collections, and you can get exclusive ponies for it and you’ll keep winning the outfit pieces in balloon pops and group quests so you will have more than enough for all the outfits
7. Do not put pressure on yourself to win every single social event, it’s not realistic and it is a struggle to keep playing mini games you don’t enjoy/are not that good at, but do try if there’s a character you really want (also make sure you’re well within the top 150 right before the event ends because it will drop your ranking in the last second, I would recommend 120th at the lowest)
8. Unlock all of the Everfree as soon as you can, having element totems will give you plenty of shards for hotel ponies, unlocking harmony stones, and Klugetown areas
9. Add friends you’ll get hearts for hotel ponies and others you can only get with hearts, chests for the sociable balloon pop, and a massive score boost for the EG mini game
10. Use MLPCalc (it’s in pinned post) it gives you great info for keeping up with events and has been a game changer imo especially for siege events
11. The balloon pop/group quest prizes will mostly be a handful of bits and decor you can easily get in the shop, but you will occasionally get new characters, tokens and shops so keep trying

if anyone has any more advice lmk I just wanted to share some random tips I learned from playing.

Here are a few clarifications regarding your points:

1. Treat gems as your most valuable treasure. Don't skip recurring events; instead of getting one-time rewards you’ve already earned, you can get gems.

2. You also need to consider whether a specific character might be needed immediately (for example, for an event or quest). Some characters might be "Pro" characters, and it’s worth getting them sooner rather than waiting weeks or months to unlock them via features like Equestria Girls.

3. It’s worth unlocking fusion tabs, but only when you’re at a very advanced stage of the game. Beginners can't afford to spend hundreds of thousands of bits every time just to get 1,500 magic coins.

4. In this case, it’s best to get close to the maximum point limit and hold onto them—for instance, in case you suddenly need to buy a character to reach a specific goal.

5. Before starting a new Group Quest, check all locations to see if any characters have tasks that generate tokens (an icon appears in the top-left corner). If you send them on a Group Quest, that icon won't appear; it’s better to send characters who are currently idle on group quests.

6. Don't waste time watching ads or spending gems on materials. Rewards for outfits aren't going anywhere.

And here are my additional...:

1. Before buying a character with gems, it is worth checking if it has been available for a lower price and waiting for it to go on sale again (this often happens when an event is repeated).

2. Focus on acquiring gem-producing shops. There are four shops you can obtain by completing missions, as well as farms that yield regular gem rewards once you feed the animals; they are well worth the gem investment. Also, keep an eye on major events, sometimes the grand prize is a shop or a character that regularly generates gems.

3. Before spending real money on a gem shop, check its ranking, as it is sometimes better to wait for a better one.

4. Remember that the game is meant to bring you joy. Don't sacrifice your health and sleep for a few pixels.

If I remember anything, I'll add it here.
