Finished the Game

First Merry Christmas to all. Tonite I completed Level 42 and there were no more achievements. When you finish there is no drama or prize you just see any new achievements. I was kinda hoping for a prize of some sort, but nothing happenned.

Here is what my zoo stats were when I finished.

2504 Animals ( 390 Uncommon,232 rare, 11 ultra Rare)
139 Species (120 uncommon,41 Rare, 10 Ultra Rare)
12 of 12 tricks Learned
w/ ticket price at $1 it generates 10,502 Visitors or dollars in a zoo day.
w/ ticket price at 16 it has 7766 visitors and makes $ 124,256 in a zoo day.
The zoo is worth 464,856 mill
and I have
234 Kiosk managers
300 Maint Managers (please note this changed when I was mid way thru you shouldnt need this many.)
56 Vets
15 parking lots
55 restrooms (I think I have 9 more than needed)

I think I will take a break for a few days and just answer gifts. I am kicking around giving the whole zoo away and starting over not sure what Ill do next. I will thank everyone who gave me tips and hints along the way.

Level 42 Save more $$$

Moved up to Level 42 and the want 150,000,000 million. If I new this was coming I wouldnt have spent any :-).
The other tasks are get 10,500 visitors in one zoo day and Buy a total of 100 big trees

It does feel good to have the animals trained.

On to level 41

I finished level 40 tonite by saving 125 million then promptly spent 85 million on upgrades and a few animals and kiosks.

The cage upgrades are outrageous especially since we seem to have allot of aniamls getting lost and showing up on everyones wall :-)

Currently I'm wrapping up the training dont have too much farther to go but it will take awhile.

Here are the level 41 achievements:

- Get 9700 visitors
- Train your animals tod 12 tricks
- Get some entertainment - 7 of each Safari Show, Fish Feeding, Hot Air Baloon, Helicopter Ride.
- Artic Adventure - 8 of Each Emporer Penguin, Polar Bear, Artic Fox.

It looks like a few species became available when I levelled up. I dont know if its because I levelled up or if was just random.

Help Forum

For those of you missing the Help forum in Zoo Worl feel free to post in this thread. I will check it twice a day and hopefully others will answetr thw questions as well.

12/15 Update

Im saving for the 125 million and training my eagle and swift along the way.

It would seem that the best tip is to start raining early, its expensive and time consuming. Best to get it over with.

Level 39 and 40

Ok I got my 100 milion and spent half of it getting 9000 visitors to get to level 40. Now Im saving for 125 million, breeding aquatics and training my animals again.

Here are the tasks for level 39 and 40

Level 39:

Get 9000 visitors in one zoo day
Get 10 of each Parking Lot ,Bench, Trash Can and restroom.
Get 6 of each Rain Forest dweller- Ble and yellow Mackaw, Cheetah.Scarlet Mackaw, Monkey,Tree Frog and Sundra Loris.
Get 5 of Each Junk food Stands: Cotton Candy,Ice cream stand, French Fries and Pretzel stand

Level 40:

Get 4 of each Vet, Animal Hospital, Breeding Hospital
Have at least $125,000,000 cash
Get 7 of each Sting Ray, Octopus, Blue Whale, Dolpin and Orca
Train your animals to do 10 tricks

I am starting to wonder if everyone gets the same tasks. Some of the lists Ive seen have the viaitors on 39 at 10,000. Im wondering if maybe it just adds a few to what you have and makes another tasks. Please let me know if your tasks are any different than the ones I post.

My Daily Quiz

This may come in handy if we can get a few folks posting their questions and the answers if they got it right.

Today I Had

How many males in a herd of giant antelopes -- 5 was correct

What animals count for which tasks ?

This confused me - when I levelled up to 38 there was a task that said "Get 4 of every species you own" the game called the task complete even though I do not have 4 of each one. Here is what I was missing.

1: I only had 3 Asian Wildhorses: I was currently breeding the fourth but still had over 40 hours to go until the baby was born. Perhaps the game counted the pregnant animal as two.

2: A friend gave me a Wildlife fund animal I only had one Pegasus but it didnt count it for this task.

I have heard that feed animals do not count for these tasks either however; I had more than 4 of each so I couldnt confirm that. It comes from a solid source so I believe it to be true.

I am very glad I trained my animals early because that really takes time and money.

On to Level 38

I finally saved my 85 million and moved on to level 38.
The new tasks are :

Have at least $100,000,000 cah
Make it even Get 4 of every species you own.
Train your ani9mal to do 8 tricks
Get an african safara - get 8 of each animal Wildebeast, Spooted Hyena, Zebra, Lion, African Elephant and Giraffe.

I have to admit Im getting tired of seeing the save dollars tasks, They usually come like this back to back so I just keep saving them complete the other tasks on the level. I only need another 20 million after doing the cage upgrades.

The article and chart above have been updated.

12-6 update

Still saving money for the 85 million - did hit this one which is nice
"You have helped 300 lost animals. You have been awarded $3,047,040!"

I have posted two new articles one on keeping the game running:

And this one on adopting from the feed:

Both came from comments here but needed a few more words than a blog can do.

Unique Species

"Unique Species" keeps getting kicked around I didnt figure it out until about level 28 or something. Here is how I think about it

A unique species has it's own picture in the gift or shop tab and gets its own zookeeper and cage.

If you own 10 penguins you have 1 unique species and 10 animals
So for a task like "Get XX Unique species" the ten penguins count as one.
For a Task like "House XX animals in your zoo" the ten penguins count as ten.

Question on Wildlife fund animals

I'm not spending any real money on the game but amassed enough wildlife points to get an animal, I chose to get a map instead as it would increase my visitor count.

I didnt get an animal because I was worried that if I had 1 I'd need 2 or more to complete tasks. I didnt want to get stuck waiting on wildlife points before I Could level up.

Does anyone know if These animals count in the tasks that require to own 2,3 or 4 of every animal ?

Thanks in advance

Thurs 12/3/09 - Thinking of a cause

At the moment I'm saving the money to get off of Level 37. I got a good tip to use the firefox browser and enable the refresh page tool. Im playing with it when I get it working Ill post instructions.

Saving the money seems like it takes forever and is very boring. I may start a cause to have them change the game. My thought is that since I have so much staff they should be able to run my zoo without me for a few hours each day.

Welcome

I basically set this up to share the chart above and hoefully get answers to a few questions I have about the My zoo game. This is my first blog so please show some patience.
