The million-dollar (or rather, million-coin) question in My Singing Monsters! A Wubbox, that enigmatic, electricity-infused monster, doesn’t have a fixed coin value in the traditional sense. You can’t sell a Wubbox back to the game for coins. Instead, the “cost” of a Wubbox comes in two forms: the initial purchase price and the investment required to activate it.
On Natural Islands, the initial purchase price for a Wubbox is a hefty 75,000,000 coins. On Ethereal Island, the cost is 150,000 shards. However, that’s just the beginning. To bring the Wubbox to life, you need to box one of every natural monster available on the island. This essentially “sacrifices” those monsters, removing them from your collection to power up the Wubbox. So, the true cost is those 75 million coins (or 150,000 shards) plus the value of all the monsters you box. This makes the Wubbox a substantial investment, especially for newer players.
For an Epic Wubbox the cost of the initial purchase remains unclear, as it cannot be purchased directly with coins. To activate it, each monster you place in the box costs 350 diamonds. The number of monsters required varies by island, so the total diamond cost to fill an Epic Wubbox can be significant, as was mentioned in the source text.
The investment yields a powerful monster with a high coin production rate, rivaling Rare or Epic Quads and Ethereal Monsters on Natural Islands. However, its large size means that it is not recommended for farming coins. On Ethereal Island, however, the Wubbox has the lowest shard production. So, whether a Wubbox is “worth” it is subjective and depends on your play style and goals within My Singing Monsters.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Wubbox
Here are some frequently asked questions to provide even more insights into the world of Wubbox:
1. Can You Breed a Wubbox?
Absolutely not! Wubboxes are special monsters obtained through purchase and activation, not breeding. You must buy a Wubbox for 75,000,000 coins once you are level 20 on a natural island, or 150,000 shards on Ethereal Island. Then, you have to box monsters to power it up: every Natural monster if you are on a Natural island, every Wublin if you are on Wublin Island, or every Ethereal if you are on Ethereal Island.
2. What Monsters Are Required to Activate a Wubbox?
The monsters needed depend on the island:
- Natural Islands: One of each of the natural monsters available on that island (excluding Ethereals, Legendaries, and Seasonals).
- Wublin Island: Each of the Wublin Monsters.
- Ethereal Island: One of each of the Ethereal Monsters.
3. Is There a Time Limit to Activate a Wubbox?
Thankfully, no! Unlike Wublins, which have strict time limits for Zapping, you can take your time boxing monsters for the Wubbox. This allows you to gather resources and monsters at your own pace.
4. How Tall is a Wubbox?
Get ready for a giant! Wubboxes are approximately 4 meters (13.1 feet) tall. This makes them one of the largest monsters in the game, demanding a significant amount of space on your island.
5. Is Wubbox a Robot?
The lore of My Singing Monsters suggests that Wubbox is indeed a kind of robot. The article text also states that Wubbox is a beatboxing robot, and its creation involves a scientist-musician transferring his soul into the machine.
6. Who Created the Wubbox?
According to the game’s lore, the Wubbox was created by Galvana. This was confirmed in multiple MSM live events and is detailed in the Wubbox’s biography. Galvana imbued the Wubbox with “an elemental energy unfamiliar to those on the surface.”
7. Does Wubbox Produce Coins or Shards?
Yes, Wubboxes generate income. On Natural Islands, they have a high coin production rate. On Ethereal Island, they produce shards, but at a significantly lower rate than other shard-producing monsters.
8. Is the Wubbox Ever On Sale?
Yes! Wubboxes often go on sale, especially during Anniversary Month and Cyber Week. Keep an eye out for promotions, as discounts can be substantial (up to 75% off!).
9. Can You Put a Wubbox on Gold Island?
Absolutely! Both Wubbox and Rare Wubbox can be placed on Gold Island. This allows you to utilize their coin production even after transferring all your other monsters to the island.
10. What is the Earning Potential of an Epic Wubbox?
The earning potential of an Epic Wubbox is good, but depends on the player’s collection frequency. It has a decent coin production, comparable to a Rarethereal when collecting once per day, or to a common Ethereal Monster when collecting twice per day.
11. What Does a Rare Wubbox Need?
The Rare Wubbox, like its common counterpart, needs monsters to be activated. To activate it, you must box one of every Rare Monster. These Rare Monsters will be removed from their home island when boxed.
12. What Makes Wubbox Unique?
Unlike other monsters, Wubbox is not bred. It is directly purchased and then activated by boxing other monsters. Also, Wubbox has very high coin production, especially on natural islands.
13. Is a Wubbox Farm Worth It?
Due to the Wubbox’s large size and bed count, it is not recommended for farming coins. However, it is an acceptable source of income, especially when you do not log in frequently.
14. What is the Element Codenamed “SN” in the Game Files?
In the audio files, Wubbox is referred to as the Box Monster. The file’s XML and BIN elements codename it as SN, which stands for Supernatural.
