The Monster Breeder News

This update adds four quests to the game, allowing the player to send out human characters and tamed monsters to search for eggs in nearby caves. The eggs are protected and cannot be taken away without a fight. You can find Cave Arachnid Lair and Green Ant Colony in every province, but no Velvet Spider Nest in the north. Although, Northern Lizard Dens are located exclusively in the northern province.
