### Tips to help save up Glowbucks

#### **Grinding Tips**

* For **Missions**, Store as many moths as possible & only have the following moths out: Elephant Hawkmoth, Staudinger's Longtail, Medium-Sized Marama & Medium-Sized Mythic Moths, & Medium-Sized Rare or Medium-Sized Legendary Event Moths. This limits the missions to more valuable rewards, *including* Glowbucks.
* Keep track of when the **Florida Tree Snail's** prize roulette resets; it takes a full 24 hours (a day) for it to reset, so set an alarm (not a countdown timer) to keep track of when the roulette resets. Then, keep watching adverts & videos until all the Glowbucks on the roulette have been obtained, & then make sure to let the roulette reset the next day.
* If an event has a mini-game with free Glowbucks as prizes, grind for them daily; you can gain over 100+ Glowbucks by grinding with these mini-games!
* Use **all decorations with petal spawning abilities whenever they are available**, & quickly get the moths to chase the petals, preferably with multiple small moths circling the area (**use these decorations one at a time to avoid stress**). That means 7 Glowbucks are available for grabs with all three petal-spawning decorations every 2 days. & with the Exclusive Shaggy Mane Mushroom, which spawns 2 Petals, that's 10 Glowbucks every 2 days, combined with the 5/6 daily ones from the Snail!

#### **Saving Tips - General**

* **Avoid** hurrying using **Glowbucks**; stick to using advertisements to reduce the timer/cooldown by 30 minutes; this adds up to reducing 2 hours!
* **Avoid** buying attraction flowers, especially event ones

* **Do NOT** use Glowbucks to buy Toad Treats, Toad Delicacies, or Event Fireflies; some decoration abilities can spawn them for free (e.g: Exclusive Shaggy Mane Mushroom) & harvested moths will spawn free toad treats every 2-3 hours.

**Saving Tips - Ant Events**

* Upon an **Ant Event** starting, **look at the exclusive decoration prize silhouette** & then use the **Visual List of Decorations** to find out what prize you have. If the exclusive decoration has a useful ability (Free Egg Laying, Spawn Petals, Capture a Wisp or Spawn a Frenzy of Goodies), it is worth hurrying with Glowbucks in cases where you fall short on getting that prize. If the prize has a useless ability, or one that isn't worth obtaining, **avoid** hurrying for it.

**Saving Tips - Main Events**

* Use decorations that have the ability to **Lay a Free Egg** on Legendary & Epic Event moths & use adverts to hurry the decorations as often as possible.

* **Avoid** buying attraction flowers, especially event ones
* During **Wisp Events, avoid** using **Glowbucks** to capture Wisps
* During **Firefly Events, Do NOT** use Glowbucks to buy Toad Treats, Toad Delicacies, or Event Fireflies; some decoration abilities can spawn them for free (e.g: Exclusive Shaggy Mane Mushroom) & harvested moths will spawn free fireflies every 2-3 hours.

#### **Saving Tips - Shop**

* **Do NOT** convert **Glowbucks** into **honeydew/coins**; both moths & the **Florida Tree Snail** offer honeydew/coins for free
* If there are any plans to buy a Bumblebee, **wait** until the Weekend Bonus **Half-Price Bees** happens; on weekends, there are sometimes mini-events called Weekend Bonuses. This makes Bumblebees cost 100  instead of 200 ; this saves 100  from being spent. However, Weekend Bonuses only occur if there isn't a Wisp or Firefly event currently happening.

**Saving Tips - Visiting Event Moths**

* **Do NOT** attempt to buy any visiting moths; **Ant Events** are the best method for collecting past event moths
* **Half-Price Egg Laying** affects **Visiting Moths**! If a **common** **or small event moth** visits during this weekend bonus, & there's over 150  saved up, it may be a good idea to buy it; common & small event moths cost 25  instead of 50  during **Half-Price Egg Laying**. If you have a decoration with a Free Egg Laying ability, that can then be used to get the newly purchased moth to lay free eggs & eventually perfect it.
* In the case where a common/small event moth appears during **Half-Price Egg Laying** weekends, check the Deluxe Decoration reward for perfecting that moth's set on the **abilities list, visual list**, & that moth's event set page; if the ability is useful (e.g: Perfecting the Natsu set gets the Deluxe Japanese Camellia, which guarantees the capture of a chosen wisp for free), buy the egg. If the decoration ability is not useful, ***DO NOT*** buy the egg.

### Hurry with Glowbucks

For speeding up things there is a specific pattern how many Glowbucks you have to spend depending on the time left. Hurried Missions follow the same pattern, but add a basic amount of  10, which means to hurry up 4 minutes cost  11 instead of  1, to hurry up 20 minutes  15 instead of  5 and so on.

* For **less than two hours** left, you have to spend  1 for every **4 minutes** rounded up,
* for **more than two hours** and **less than ten hours** one additional  for every **10 minutes**,
* for **more than ten hours** and **less than twenty hours** an additional  for every **30 minutes**
* and for **more than twenty hours** one additional  for every **hour**.
