Weather System Overview

What is the Weather System?

The Weather System is a server-specific global mechanic that cycles through different environmental conditions. Each weather pattern provides unique bonuses or enables special content.

Key Features:

• 🌍 Server-Specific: Each server has its own independent weather cycle
• ⏱️ Dynamic Rotation: Weather changes every 15-30 minutes
• 💪 Massive Boosts: Some weather provides +30% bonuses
• 🦋 Exclusive Spawns: Certain pets only appear in specific weather
• 🎯 Strategic Optimization: Smart players server hop for desired weather

Weather Types & Effects

How to Check Current Weather

In-Game Methods:

1. Look at the sky - Visual weather indicators
2. Check environment - Rain/snow particles visible
3. Test spawn locations - Flora only appears during Aurora + Night

Weather Indicators:

• ☀️ Day: Bright sky, no special effects
• 🌙 Night: Dark sky, stars visible
• 🌧️ Rainy: Rain particles, darker environment
• ❄️ Snowy: Snow particles, white ground
• 🌌 Aurora: Colorful lights in the sky (rare)

Weather Boost Stacking

Weather boosts stack with other active boosts:

Example 1: Rainy Weather + Event Coin Boost

• Base coins: 100
• Rainy weather: +30% = 130
• Event boost (100%): +100% = 260 coins total

Example 2: Snowy Weather + XP Potions

• Base XP: 100
• Snowy weather: +30% = 130
• XP Potion (100%): +100% = 260 XP total

Optimal Farming Windows:

• 🪙 Coins: Rainy weather + Event boost = 2.6x multiplier
• ⭐ XP: Snowy weather + Event boost = 2.6x multiplier

Flora (Florella): Weather-Exclusive Pet

Flora Overview

Flora (also called Florella) is the most powerful addition to the pet roster, exclusive to the Weather System update.

Why Flora is Special:

• 🔥 Power Creep Monster: Rank D Flora = 60,000 Damage
• 📊 Outclasses Everything: 2x stronger than Rank D Gingerjoy (28,000 DMG)
• 🎯 Weather-Exclusive: Only spawns during Aurora + Night
• ⭐ Collector's Must-Have: Rarest spawn in the game

Flora Stats Comparison

Flora's Strengths:

• ✅ Highest base damage in the game (Rank D)
• ✅ Excellent scaling at higher ranks
• ✅ Powerful despite only 2 skills
• ✅ Collector's item (limited spawn conditions)

Flora's Weaknesses:

• ❌ Only 2 active skills (vs 3 for legendaries)
• ❌ Extremely rare spawn conditions
• ❌ Requires specific weather + time combination

How to Catch Flora

Spawn Requirements

Critical Requirements (ALL must be met):

1. ✅ Weather: Aurora (rare weather pattern)
2. ✅ Time of Day: Night (dark sky)
3. ✅ Location: Small island left of Neverland spawn

Note: The Pet Index lists "Frost Isle" as Flora's location, but player reports confirm she spawns on a small island to the left of Neverland's spawn point, not on Frost Isle itself.

Step-by-Step Catching Guide

Step 1: Find an Aurora + Night Server

1. Join Catch a Monster
2. Check weather - Look at the sky
3. Check time - Must be nighttime
4. If not Aurora + Night:

- Leave server

- Rejoin (different server) - Repeat until you find Aurora + Night

Server Hopping Tips:

• Each server has independent weather
• Average time: 10-20 server hops to find Aurora + Night
• Use peak hours (more servers = higher chance)

Step 2: Navigate to Flora's Spawn

1. Unlock Neverland (complete questline)
2. Travel to Neverland
3. At Neverland spawn point, look LEFT
4. Small island visible - This is Flora's spawn
5. Swim or fly to the small island

Step 3: Search for Flora

1. Explore the small island thoroughly
2. Flora appears as a glowing pet (weather-exclusive visual)
3. She may not spawn immediately - Wait 5-10 minutes
4. Check multiple spots on the island

Step 4: Battle & Capture

Preparation:

• Team Level: 30+ recommended
• Type Advantage: Bring strong DPS monsters
• Balls: Use Christmas Ball (+10 Rank Luck) for better tier

Battle Strategy:

1. Engage Flora - Click to start battle
2. Lower HP to 10-20% - Don't kill her!
3. Watch for catch prompt - Press E to attempt
4. Spam E key - Multiple attempts if needed
5. Success! - Flora added to team

Capture Tips:

• Lower HP = higher catch rate
• Christmas Ball provides best catch odds
• A-Rank Flora is extremely rare (1-5% chance)
• Most catches will be D-Rank or C-Rank

Flora Spawn Issues & Solutions

Problem 1: Can't Find Aurora Weather

• Solution: Server hop 10-20 times
• Alternative: Use private server and wait for Aurora cycle

Problem 2: Found Aurora but Not Night

• Solution: Wait 10-15 minutes for day/night cycle
• Alternative: Server hop to find Aurora + Night simultaneously

Problem 3: Right Weather but No Flora

• Solution: Check the CORRECT island (left of Neverland, NOT Frost Isle)
• Alternative: Wait 10 minutes - she may spawn after delay
• Last Resort: Server hop to refresh spawn

Problem 4: Flora Defeated by Other Players

• Solution: Use private server (guaranteed solo)
• Alternative: Join low-population servers (3-5 players)

Best Time to Hunt Flora

Recommended Times (EST):

• 🌅 Morning: 6am-10am (low competition)
• 🌆 Evening: 8pm-11pm (active but manageable)
• ❌ Avoid: Peak hours (3pm-7pm) = high competition

Event Considerations:

• During Events: More players hunting = higher competition
• Post-Event: Lower competition, easier catches
• Holiday Period: Extended event active until December 29th

Weather Farming Strategies

Optimal Farming Based on Weather

Strategy 1: Rainy Weather - Gold Farming 🪙

When to Use: Rainy weather active

Best Farming Spots:

Boss Farming (Rainy):

• Flaragon: 2,000-3,000 coins per kill
• Glazadon: 3,000-4,000 coins per kill
• ShadeKnight: 1,500-2,500 coins per kill
• With +30% Rain Boost: Multiply above by 1.3

Example: Rainy Weather ShadeKnight Farm

• Base coins: 2,000 per kill
• Rainy boost: +30% = 2,600 per kill
• Event boost (100%): +100% = 5,200 coins per kill
• 10 kills/hour = 52,000 coins/hour

Strategy 2: Snowy Weather - XP Power Leveling ⭐

When to Use: Snowy weather active

Best Leveling Spots:

Power Leveling Strategy:

1. Wait for Snowy weather
2. Use XP Potion (+100% XP)
3. Farm highest-level area you can handle
4. Combined multiplier: 2.6x XP (Snow + Potion)

Leveling to 55 Example:

• Level 50 → 55 without boosts: 8 hours
• Level 50 → 55 with Snow + Potion: 3 hours 🔥

Strategy 3: Aurora + Night - Flora Hunting 🦋

When to Use: Aurora + Night weather combo

Flora Hunting Checklist:

• [ ] Confirm Aurora + Night weather
• [ ] Navigate to small island (left of Neverland)
• [ ] Bring strong team (Level 30+)
• [ ] Have Christmas Balls ready
• [ ] Check if Flora has spawned
• [ ] Battle and capture

Server Hopping for Aurora:

Time Investment:

• Finding Aurora + Night: 10-30 minutes (server hopping)
• Traveling to spawn: 2-3 minutes
• Waiting for Flora spawn: 5-10 minutes
• Battle + Capture: 3-5 minutes
• Total: 20-50 minutes per attempt

Server Hopping for Weather

Why Server Hop:

• Each server has independent weather
• Weather cycles every 15-30 minutes
• Faster to hop than to wait

How to Server Hop:

1. Check current weather - Not what you want?
2. Leave game (don't rejoin)
3. Click "Servers" tab on game page
4. Join different server (pick low population for Flora)
5. Check weather immediately
6. Repeat until you find desired weather

Server Hopping Efficiency:

Pro Tips:

• ✅ Use low-population servers for Flora (less competition)
• ✅ Use high-population servers for boss farming (faster kills)
• ✅ Private servers let you wait for weather cycle (no hopping)
• ✅ Peak hours = more servers = faster Aurora finding

Stardust Cluster Bug Fix

What Was the Bug?

Before Fix:

• Stardust Clusters supposed to drop from Event Bosses

After Fix:

• Bug officially resolved in Weather Update
• Drop rate: ~10% from Event Bosses
• Code "fixed" gives 3 clusters as compensation
• Evolution system now fully functional

Where to Farm Stardust Clusters

Event Boss Arena:

Expected Farming Time:

• 1 Cluster: 1-2 hours (Event Boss hopping)

• 15 Clusters: 15-30 hours

Use Code "fixed":

• Instant 3 Stardust Clusters

Advanced Tips & Tricks

Tip 1: Weather-Boost Schedule

Create a personal farming schedule based on weather:

Sample Daily Schedule:

• Morning (6am-10am): Server hop for Aurora + Flora hunt
• Afternoon (12pm-4pm): Wait for Rainy weather, farm coins
• Evening (6pm-10pm): Wait for Snowy weather, power level
• Night (10pm+): AFK egg hatching (reduced times)

Tip 2: Private Server Weather Cycling

If you have a private server:

1. Join private server
2. Wait for weather to cycle through patterns
3. Aurora will eventually appear
4. Hunt Flora with zero competition
5. Best method for guaranteed Flora capture

Private Server Timing:

• Full weather cycle: 2-4 hours
• Aurora probability: 15-20% of cycle
• Expected wait: 30-60 minutes for Aurora

Tip 3: Multi-Task During Weather Downtime

While waiting for desired weather:

• ✅ Hatch eggs (now only 10-30 minutes)
• ✅ Organize inventory
• ✅ Complete side quests
• ✅ Check event shop for deals
• ✅ Farm materials for evolutions

Tip 4: Flora Rank Farming

Best strategy for high-rank Flora:

1. Find Aurora + Night server
2. Attempt capture with Christmas Ball
3. If C-Rank or below, reject
4. Server hop and try again
5. Goal: B-Rank or A-Rank Flora

A-Rank Flora is worth 10+ attempts due to her power.

Tip 5: Coordinate with Friends

Maximize Friend Luck:

1. Form a 4-player friend group
2. All join same server (30% luck bonus)
3. Farm during optimal weather (Rainy/Snowy)
4. Hunt Flora together (coordinate searches)
5. Share egg hatching times

Common Questions & Mistakes
