Resource and Inventory Space Management is Key
In Dawn of Fire for My Singing Monsters 2, the game play branches away from the typically food and coin cycle seen in other monster breeding games. Dawn of Fire is more like SimCity BuiltIt where you have to manage through your “item” cycles. Your goal is to produce all the items that your Monsters want.

In short, your simple goal is to keep crafting away without filling up your resource vault.

When you have filled up your items and get “stuck” you may have to “trash” away items from your vault to keep on moving forward.

Upgrade the Warehouse Vault Chest vs Castle for Monster Bed Spot
In My Singing Monsters: Dawn of Fire, you will need “Crystals” and its products to upgrade either the item chest or Monster Bed. You should always upgrade the vaults slots first. Having a bigger inventory vault will make your game play much more smooth.

As you level up your account level, you will have access to the new islands which feature additional crystals needed for upgrade. For example, Level 9 unlocks the icy island where you will need to get the blue crystals.

The crystals can typically found around the edge of each islands.

How to Use your Diamonds
Never ever use your gems to get breedable monsters or speed up the waiting time. Below are two situations where you should spend and invest your hard earned diamonds.

1. Unlock Additional Production Building Slots.
Since your production slots is limited to only 3, it is important to increase some of the buildings. In general, the “raw” crafting material buildings are the ones that you should focus on. For example, Fruit Tree and Garden patches are good choices. Only upgrade the production buildings that you are consistently having trouble with.

2. Upgrade Vaults (Especially when you are missing the last few pieces)
The amount of crystal increases significantly with every additional levels that you place into the vaults. This means that your vault will always be near capacity every time when you are close to level up. Your vault will be filled with all the useless crystals and jewelries required for the upgrade. When you are missing the last few pieces before the upgrade, it may be helpful to simply move forward and purchase those last missing pieces.

Take Advantage of Request New Orders for Monster Wants
Always check to see what your Monsters in Dawn of Fire is requesting. In general, they will request the latest items that you have unlocked from leveling up. However, sometimes you will have multiple monsters request a few hard to get items like Sugar, Slimes, and more.

Make the judgement call when you see multiple monsters requesting the same time. You know that you will never be able to fill those orders within the 30 minute span. So, just refuse those wants request and ask for a new order. You may end up getting more items able to made from your idle buildings.

Breed that 4 Element Monster Flum Ox as Early as Possible
The first 4 element monster that you can successfully breed is the Flum Ox with the elements Fire, Water, Earth, Wind. Your goal is to setup your monster breeding schedule to get this as early as possible. The reason is that you can use it to explore the Wonder Mine unlocked on the Icy island continent as soon as it becomes available. The Singing Monsters in Dawn of Fire with more elements have higher chances at getting free diamonds as well as important loots.

It should be noted that your Monsters need to be at level 4 to breed, so make sure you level those needed monsters first too.
