Rewards
First Time Reward | - Trophy - 31,600 Coins total |
---|---|
Second Time (And On) | - 11,160 Coins total |
Note that the second time (and on) you do this event, you will only get 1/10th of the coins. The exception to this is the final (7th) battle, which gives you 10,000 coins (1/2). This means that if you can't make it to the 7th battle, it's not worth farming this.
How Efficient Is It?
Approx. Time Needed | 10-11 minutes |
---|
You should be able to complete one round of this island in 10 minutes, if you are fast and know what you're doing. This means you could ostensibly be getting 1,000 coins a minute from this method.
