Everything you need to know to maximize points in Pixel Pals There might be some rewards hidden in this as well 👀 Objective Your goal is to get as many Pet Points and Habitat Points as possible Pet Points Pet Points determine your rank in the leaderboard, for which the top 100 players will get a share of the prize pool. How to earn Pet Points Pet Points can be earned by harvesting crops or purchasing consumables in the store The prize pool started at $120,000, however the money people spent in the Pixel Pals shop is added to it. It hasn't even been 24 hours and it's already at $150,000! Placement Payout 1st: 30% 2nd: 20% 3rd: 10% 4th: 7% 5th: 3% 6 - 10: 1.5% 11 - 20: 0.75% 21 - 50: 0.3% 51 - 100: 0.12% Habitat Points Habitat Points will determine how much $MON you get at the end of season 0, which ends on April 29th. How to earn Habitat Points Habitat Points can be earned by harvesting crops and by increasing your Habitat Value. Habitat Value is increased by opening DecoBoxes and unlocking decorations. Every 500 Habitat Points earns you an additional Decobox, which can be found on the bottom left when you click "Build" Habitat Decorations Value House: 0 Bonfire: 0 Paths: 20 Bushes: 50 Flowers: 50 Garden: 50 Tables: 150 Benches: 150 Treadmill: 300 Swing: 300 Tent: 800 NomNom Fountain: 1000 Kevin Statue: 2000 Dragon Statue: 2000 Although it's randomized, the better items you pull, the more Habitat Points you receive, the more Decoboxes you can open and so on. Ideally, you pull a Kevin or Dragon Statue as it will exponentially help you. (If you've made it to the middle of this thread, you have a genuine interest in understanding the game. The first person to comment "I love Pixel Pals!" will receive a Pioneer Box, as will one random person) Farming Planting and harvesting crops allows you to do 3 things: - Keep your pet alive - Earn Pet Points - Earn Habitat Points Pets As long as your pet is alive, he'll earn 1 XP per minute. This allows him to level up (max lvl 100), which unlocks a DecoBox every 5 levels. If you've purchased a PixelPass ($10) you get an additional 2 boxes per 5 levels. For free in-game money, use one (or more 😉) of the creators codes before they expire: Gorilla, Nftboi, Yp, Mav, Moritz, etc. You can also win a Pioneer Box or use your own money by clicking "wallet" Codes can be entered by clicking "XP" and then on the right side "Got a code?" To replenish his health bar, you can harvest crops or purchase consumables in the shop. (Wow, still here? You really must love this game! The first person to comment "$MON is going to cook" will receive a Pioneer Box, as will one random person) Harvesting Each crop has different point values, time to harvest and time of death - Time to Harvest: The amount of time before you can consume the plant - Time of Death: The amount of time you have to harvest the plant before it rots Crops Cabbage Time to Harvest: 4 hours Time of Death: 2 hours Pet Points: 165 Habitat Value: 22 Carrot Time to Harvest: 8 hours Time of Death: 4 hours Pet Points: 330 Habitat Value: 44 Tomato Time to Harvest: 12 hours Time of Death: 6 hours Pet Points: 450 Habitat Value: 60 Corn Time to Harvest: 16 hours Time of Death: 8 hours Pet Points: 530 Habitat Value: 72 Strawberry Time to Harvest: 20 hours Time of Death: 10 hours Pet Points: 580 Habitat Value: 80 Blueberry Time to Harvest: 24 hours Time of Death: 12 hours Pet Points: 600 Habitat Value: 84 As you can see, the longer the time to harvest, the less points you get comparatively. The more you're harvesting, the more points you'll get in return. Strategy My strategy is to plant cabbages and carrots based on my sleep schedule. That way I am maximizing points without losing any crops. If I'm going to bed, I'll pick carrots, as I'll have a 4 hour window to harvest after the 8 hour grow time. As for feeding your pet consumables from the shop, you can maximize points by picking Beer, however this will reduce his life by 6 hours per consumable. To counter this, I purchase other consumables immediately after or I consume beer before harvesting my crops, which also replenish his clock. Thank you for reading till the end. I will be rewarding 1 additional Pioneer box to a commenter and 1 for a quote tweeter.
