Guide to the Desert
                                                   

Return to the Island Guide's Main Page.

This guide elaborates on the materials, building, and monsters that will be encountered in the Desert island biome.

None of the data includes items found from buildings, treasure chests, or kills. This only includes what can be gathered by walking over top. All data was collected with a level 45+ pet.

The rarities are based off data collected on every encounter. Nearly half a hundred desert islands were explored to gather enough data for accurate rarities. The exact percent of each enouncter can be found by mousing over its tag. Those with over 100% means that it will be encountered more than once on each island.

Buildings

The rarity is the chance of that specific building showing up vs the others, not if any building shows up at all. There will almost always be a building for each island. 

The name of some buildings link to a screenshot of what happens when you interact with that building.

Actually you can use the Ancient Monolith more than once... Its once per hour so if you use it and come back an hour later you can revisit it and get something else... I've done it before.

So how does one get to the desert island in the first place? 

You click on the tab Explore at the top and then you click on the image of a desert that says Desert under it. Will bring active pet to desert.

@Monues

Does the Fertility Shrine affect Genetic Power? Say I'm leveling a pet to 50 before breeding. If I use the shrine, does that affect being +1 GP when it reaches level 50?

Fun Fact:I have found the Fertility Shrine 3 times before lol
