How do I use the Map?
The Map menu displays all of the Islands of the Monster World. It unlocks at Level 7, or after Cold Island (the second of the Natural Islands) is purchased. You can use the left sidebar to swipe up and down to see the full list of Islands, or you can swipe around the map and pinch to zoom to explore the Islands' positions.
How do I get more Islands?
Unlock conditions vary from Island to Island. Some Islands, like the Natural Islands, cost Coins to buy and require the previous Island to be bought. Other Islands are free, like Gold Island, but have special requirements to populate them. Certain others require you to have reached a certain level, like Wublin Island, or have special social mechanics, like Tribal Island.
How do I know which Islands I already own?
Islands that you already own will be marked with a unique pin on the Map. Unowned Islands that have been unlocked are indicated by an empty circle on the Map; when selected, a mirage of the Island will appear and the unlock cost or condition will be displayed. Unowned Islands that are locked will be shaded and display a lock icon in the sidebar.
What do the numbers beside the Island name mean?
The numbers that appear beside the Island name indicate how many Monsters you have collected on that Island. The numbers that appear beside 'Beds Occupied' indicate how many Beds are currently in use and available on that Island.
What do the fractions and icons on the sidebar panels indicate?
Once you own an Island, the fraction that appears below its name on the sidebar panel indicates how many Monsters you have collected on that Island. The icons that appear along the bottom of an Island's sidebar panel indicate that there are actions that have completed and need your attention on that Island. A maximum of 5 icons can appear on an Island's sidebar panel, although there may be more actions ready to complete.
What information is displayed when I select an Island?
When you select an Island (either from the Map itself or the sidebar), a focused view of that Island's pin will be presented. Below the pin, a breakdown of the Beds occupied, different Monster rarity collections and Costumes will be displayed. If you have an Island Skin activated on the selected Island, the pin's appearance is updated to reflect the activation.
How can I tell when an Island is hosting a Seasonal Event?
When an Island is hosting a Seasonal Event, the Event's sigil will be displayed on the corresponding Island's sidebar panel. When that Island is selected, the name of the Event and the time remaining on its availability will be displayed to the right of the pin.
What do the Torch icons on my Friend's Map mean?
A Torch icon that appears on an Island's sidebar on your Friend's Map indicates that they have Wishing Torches needing to be lit! Highlighted Torch icons indicate that they would prefer you to focus on lighting on that Island. An Island's Wishing Torch will also appear on your Friend's Map for any Island with unlit Torches.
