hi genuine question how do u make raising beetles (on ld) fun and worth it. i really do want to get into it but im struggling to like. find something to motivate me for it
Honestly, I’m not sure what I did! Early early on when I started, I did raise a few beetles? But i didn’t understand the mechanics of beetle battling and I think I released all of the adult beetles, or gave them to the kittengarden. Not sure which.
I’d just had a bunch of beetle tokens sitting in my hoard after my friend decided to quit playing and gave me everything from their hoard? I didn’t use any of them, and just bought a few cool ones using monkey teeth.
I know theres a small market for beetles, like species and color, even stats? But I’ve never gone into it, really. So I don’t think there’s much in the way of profit, at least in my eyes currently.
It really just sits like a minigame for me, I love beetles and have wanted one for some time now, I just havent been allowed to. So living vicariously through a game about pixel lions makes it fun, lol.
I’ve sort of settled myself into a nice niche to just breed G. Versicolors and try to get decent stats out of them? It doesnt really count as a beetle but I like it a lot.
Honestly, it really depends on what you want out of it! I’m really more interested in what the beetles and colors look like, more interested in that than in actual battling, even if i do my daily battles. I hit a really bad depressive episode a few months ago and I barely ever interacted with Lioden OR Wolvden, I think right around when fishing was released on WD did I actually come back fully? But before that, I’d barely played for some time. I missed like.. 2-3 months? Not sure. I’ve gotten to the point in the game where personally, being mostly free to play has gotten a bit more tedious and turned into a saving-game so I can achieve my goals in it! And having a break to tend to silly little beetles makes it better. To the point I’ll wait to rollover so I get the tough part of WD over with for the day, lol
It really just ends with preference! I think it ends in whether you genuinely want to enjoy it, since the market for beetles is.. iffy. Nonexistent for rare beetles and colors, at that. I tend to treat it like any of the other minigames, since lions are the main most focus
