I've added you (and Madylin) and yeah I think what you have over me is that you've spent the cash to get your monsters to 100%. I did this at first when I needed cash quickly and the stuff wasn't mega expensive, but have since kinda forgotten to do that and even some of my rares are on 50%. I really need to get back on that, definitey now I have more money (though if you only have one of a given monster I think a >1 million gold item could take the best part of a year to earn back).

Regarding shard earning, I did notice that the single-element Ethereal monsters are far better at earning per bed than the double ones. I like my Wubboxes on Ethereal, but I'm highly tempted to swap all my duplicate doubles back out for singles. You can fit a lot more singles on Ethereal Island - yes earning less per monster, but earning more overall. Being as shards are so important to tribal stuff, it kinda seems like the smart thing to do. Just thought I'd pass that on, as I noticed your Ethereal islands, like mine, as more full of double element Etherels than singles, and you did mention the idea of a "shard farm" on our tribe's thread.

Of course I could just be happy with my earning power and actually play the game like a kid would - make a nice balanced song and make the islands pretty. Unforutnately I have a mean competitive/miserly streak, so all I can ever think about is getting more stuff!
