In the Raise Animals Desert Dunes event, Water isn’t just a resource, it’s the lifeblood of your progress. As the primary currency, you need vast amounts of it to purchase exclusive items like Anubis and the coveted Bone Fence. If you’re wondering how to get Water fast and efficiently, you’ve come to the right place. This guide will break down the mechanics and provide actionable tips to maximize your Water production.
Key Takeaways
- Water is the main event currency in Raise Animals Desert Dunes, used to buy exclusive items
- Place Desert Dunes animals on your dedicated plot to generate water automatically
- Higher rarity animals produce more water drops every 5 minutes
- Keep your plot full at all times and collect water frequently for maximum production
- Anubis costs 60,000 Water Drops and Bone Fence costs 20,000 Water Drops
- The Pharaoh Eagle can randomly appear and boost your water production
Your Primary Water Source: Desert Dunes Animals
The most consistent and effective way to get Water is by placing Desert Dunes animals on their dedicated plot. These animals produce Water automatically over time. The key mechanic to understand is that the production rate scales with the number of animals you have. The more animals you place, the higher your total Water output per hour.
To unlock the Desert Dunes biome, you need to pay $7.5 million in the game. Once unlocked, it becomes a permanent part of your biome rotation during lasso runs. The Desert biome features unique obstacles like Tumbleweeds that move randomly and quicksand that can slow you down.
Water Production Rates for Each Animal
Not all animals are created equal when it comes to water production. Here’s a complete breakdown of how much water each Desert Dunes animal produces:
| Animal | Rarity | Water Production (every 5 minutes) |
| Lizard | Basic | 5 Water Drops |
| Sand Scorpion | Rare | 10 Water Drops |
| Sidewinder Snake | Epic | 10 Water Drops |
| Fennec Fox | Epic | 25 Water Drops |
| Sand Cat | Legendary | 40 Water Drops |
| Dromedary Camel | Legendary | 40 Water Drops |
| Desert Lark | Rare | [TBA] |
| Deathstalker Scorpion | Rainbow | [TBA] |
| Pharaoh Eagle | Shine | [TBA] |
| Anubis | Exclusive | [TBA] |
As you can see, the legendary animals (Sand Cat and Dromedary Camel) produce the most water drops, making them highly valuable for your water farming strategy.
Maximizing Your Water Farming Strategy
Knowing the animals is one thing; using them effectively is another. Follow these core strategies to ensure you’re getting Water as fast as possible.
1. Prioritize Collecting Desert Dunes Animals
Your main objective during the event should be to acquire as many Desert Dunes animals as you can. Every new animal, whether common or rare, directly boosts your production speed. Don’t let them sit in your storage, place them on the plot immediately.
Pro Tip: Focus on catching higher rarity animals first, but don’t ignore common ones. A full plot of common animals produces more water than a half-empty plot waiting for rare ones.
2. Keep Your Plot Full and Active
An empty slot is a wasted slot. The Desert Dunes plot has a limited number of spaces. Your goal is to have every single slot filled with a Water-producing animal at all times. An empty slot generates nothing, significantly slowing down your overall farming progress.
Example: If you have 10 plot slots and only 7 animals filled, you’re losing 30% of your potential water production. Always prioritize filling empty slots, even with lower-tier animals.
3. Check In and Collect Frequently
Water is produced on a timer and will not accumulate indefinitely. Make a habit of checking your game regularly to collect the Water that has been generated. This resets the production timer and ensures your animals are always working, not sitting idle at their maximum capacity.
Actionable Tip: Set a timer on your phone to check your game every 15-20 minutes. This ensures you never miss a collection cycle and keeps your water production at maximum efficiency.
The Role of the Pharaoh Eagle
A special note on the Pharaoh Eagle: while it is a part of the desert biome and contributes Water when placed on the plot, it can also randomly appear while you are playing the game. Its presence, both on the plot and as a random spawn, strengthens your overall desert collection and contributes to your total Water output.
The Pharaoh Eagle has a unique passive ability called “Desert Wings” that allows it to dash into the air and summon three sandstorms. These sandstorms slow down other animals, making it easier to catch more desert creatures for your water production setup.
What Can You Buy With Water Drops?
Water drops serve as the special event currency for the Desert Dunes event. Here are the main items you can purchase:
Anubis – 60,000 Water Drops
Anubis is the exclusive animal of the Desert Dunes event. It’s an extremely rare creature with a powerful passive ability called “Soul Tempest” that allows it to devour an animal every 2 seconds and summon sandstorms that slow down and inflict fear on other animals.
Bone Fence – 20,000 Water Drops
The Bone Fence is a unique decoration item for your zoo that gives your base a spooky desert theme. It’s only available during the Desert Dunes event and can’t be obtained through other means.
Data Point: According to player reports, it takes approximately 2-3 days of active water farming to collect enough drops for Anubis, depending on how many high-production animals you have.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Many players make simple mistakes that slow down their water production. Here are the most common ones and how to avoid them:
1. Ignoring Common Animals
Some players only want rare animals and ignore common ones. This is a mistake because a full plot of common animals produces more water than a half-empty plot waiting for rares.
2. Infrequent Collection
Water production stops when animals reach their maximum capacity. If you don’t collect regularly, your animals stop producing, wasting valuable time.
3. Not Unlocking the Desert Biome Early
The Desert Dunes biome costs $7.5 million to unlock. Some players wait too long to unlock it, missing out on valuable water production time.
Advanced Water Farming Techniques
Once you’ve mastered the basics, you can use these advanced techniques to maximize your water production even further.
1. Optimal Animal Placement
Place your highest water-producing animals in the most accessible slots. This makes it easier to collect water quickly and maintain your production cycle.
2. Event Code Redemption
Don’t forget to redeem event codes like “DesertDunes!” and “SorryForDelay” for free water drops and other rewards that can boost your progress.
3. Daily Wheel Spins
The Daily Wheel now includes water drops as a potential reward. Make sure to spin it every day for a chance to get bonus water drops.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the fastest way to get Water in the Desert Dunes event?
The fastest method is to fill your entire Desert Dunes plot with animals and collect the Water they produce as often as possible. There is no substitute for a full, active plot. Focus on getting legendary animals like Sand Cat and Dromedary Camel for the highest production rates.
Which animal produces the most Water?
While specific rates can vary, higher-rarity animals like the Sand Cat and Dromedary Camel typically produce Water at a faster rate than common ones. Both produce 40 Water Drops every 5 minutes, making them the most efficient water producers in the game.
Can I get Water without the Desert Dunes animals?
The primary and most reliable source is the animal plot. Other minor sources might be event rewards, daily wheel spins, or task completions, but for a steady and fast income, focusing on your animals is non-negotiable.
Why is my Water production slow?
The most common reasons are an incomplete plot (empty slots) or infrequent collection. Ensure all slots are filled and collect your Water regularly to maintain peak production. Also, check if you have enough high-production animals.
How much does Anubis cost in Water Drops?
Anubis costs 60,000 Water Drops to purchase from the Oasis Revival event shop. This makes it one of the most expensive items in the event, requiring dedicated water farming to obtain.
What is the Bone Fence and how much Water does it cost?
The Bone Fence is a unique zoo decoration that gives your base a desert-themed appearance. It costs 20,000 Water Drops and can only be obtained during the Desert Dunes event.
How often should I collect Water from my animals?
You should collect Water as often as possible, ideally every 15-20 minutes. Water production stops when animals reach their maximum capacity, so frequent collection ensures continuous production.
Conclusion
Getting Water fast in the Raise Animals Desert Dunes event boils down to a simple, effective strategy: collect every Desert Dunes animal you can, fill your plot completely, and collect the Water frequently. By maintaining an active and fully stocked plot, you create a stable and efficient Water-generating machine. This will provide you with a steady stream of currency, allowing you to easily meet your event goals and secure those exclusive rewards like Anubis and Bone Fences.
