Introduction
So on this guide i'll show you a guide for decorating your islands. It's recommended to read it if you want to get a lot of diamonds or if you want a better looking island.

Keep in mind that you won't need every tip showed on this guide to make your island more beautiful.

check this video too. It's not where i got the idea of making this guide. However, it makes part of this guide as it shows things based on this guide.

So let's go straight into the guide. Hope y'all enjoy and hope this works to everyone!
Why Decorating?
I bet that some of you don't know why you should decorate. Some of you might have seen in the description, so, this section says basically what's wroten in the bio of this guide.

So, why should you decorate your islands, you might ask?

So... if you don't know, people among the top 10 in the leaderboard gets rewarded with 100 Diamonds.

Well, if you're not aiming this - then decorating just let's your islands beautiful and look a lot more good. But maybe you're aiming both, or just the diamonds (which is more valuable so why not).

However - you might not really require getting in the leaderboard because you must have most of the monsters (i don't mean all of the monsters), like Wubbox alongside it's Rare & Epic Counterparts.

So i'd say getting in the leaderboard without being a advanced player can be a little rare. However, decorating may help you (however, the chance might stay the same or might get a bit up).

So - after explaining why you should start decorating, let's get on the guide!
Before Starting...
Before starting...

Keep in mind that...
  • I don't suggest doing most of the things showed in this guide that are based on wasting important resources, which you'll use mostly in the game (mostly diamonds & coins, treats & relics too).

  • I don't suggest decorating the islands that are more important. Like the wublin & mirror islands. Also don't decorate the celestial island too much as it is an important island.

  • From Gobah's Video, don't steal other people's island designs. I mean, you can if you want, but it just takes the fun out of it. However don't really care about stealing a part of their island (like the tiles, decors., etc., BUT NOT THE WHOLE ISLAND DESIGN!).

  • During the 5 special events, i suggest you decorating your island fast as there are limited time decorations. Be sure to get all of these decorations in islands that combine with these or else they end.

  • Most of the methods will work for both versions. But on mobile, you can do these more earlier as there is the offer wall, giving you a lot of diamonds to start the project x2 earlier.
There are more things to keep in mind. I might have forgot them so they'll be meet later in the sections.
Upvoting
You all might think you can get among the top 10 islands in the leaderboard, right? Well - it depends on your friends. Let me simply explain why you need friends:

Your islands can only appear among the top islands in the leaderboard if someones upvotes your islands.

But, the question is why do you need friends? Well - you can also finds other people's islands - so maybe a random guy might upvote your islands using the option of finding random islands in this world.

However - since there is way too much, much, much people - especially in mobile version - there not might actually you have chance to appear among the top 10 islands in the leaderboard - atleast if you don't have friends so...

If you have friends, you can easily find an same person every time - alongside that, you can also upvote their islands - soo, it's that simple!

Add a lot of friends - then some of them shall check your islands. When visiting your islands, them might like the design and just end upvoting.

However, sometimes it just doesn't depend on the design - people might upvote your islands randomly. I am usually like these persons - also i don't really think these types of persons in MSM do exists. These persons are like when them like & don't like the same time your islands (like a normal) or also when them just upvote randomly.

Currency
So before doing everything you will need currency. But a lot of currency will be required if you want a extreme good looking island.
Experience / XP
XP will be very good as they will unlock new levels - and if you didn't know, levels will unlock a lot of decorations. So, you will really need these, right?
  • Check this guide for XP. Seriously, this guy is just too good! go see their other guides too! Alongside that - there are also other XP guides around there, right? But i just think that is too good.
Monsters
Monsters aren't really a part of decorating. But mostly of the top islands shows a lot of these even if the islands ain't decorated at all.

Check this guide if you want to know every monster's breeding combination.
Monsters - Decorating Way
In a decorating way, monsters do make your island beautiful. However, i'd suggest following these rules to make your island a bit more better:

1. Place the smaller monsters on the front, especially the dipsters so they become more visible to the public.

2. Sometimes, biggify some of your monsters. Depending on your island design, it may look good.

I do not suggest you to do these steps on important islands (Ex: Celestial Island but only if you want!). For the biggify one, it might take away 20 diamonds from you. And for the smaller monsters rule, just don't apply it for the wublin island.
Decorations
Okay so... The best thing for decorating is, decorations! However decorations can take an absurd amount of space. So do this on the islands you only want.

Not only an absurd amount of space... You imagine what decorations cost? like, 2.000 Coins? Nah, mostly of them cost up to 1.000.000 Coins. But yeah! Decorations are a good part for decorating. So why not buying them. However, just warning you in case - Don't buy these if you cant produce high amount of coins.

The most good-looking decorations can be found on the Starshop. Its more beauty, but very costly - so if you're looking for rare quad monsters or rare monsters, save starpower by not buying these decors.

I would recommend mostly decorations as they aren't very costly compared to starpower, an very hard currency to get in about time.

Also note that - Decorations cannot be buybacked, different from monsters. Don't try this if you're going to sell tub fountain, as it is very expensive. Same goes to starshop decorations, however i've never tested if they can be buybacked.
Glowbes
Glowbes are bulbs that can emit light in different colors.



If you don't know - there is a kind of system of glowbes which is very fun! You can make a text, an emoji or even draw something! However you'll need a lot of glowbes - but don't mind about that, there are much more things you can make with glowbes!

You should really try doing this - trust me, this can go really well! However, don't waste diamonds on this!!
Island Skins
Islands skins are also very beautiful. So try making your island more better with these!

Also note that; islands skins cost real-life currency, so you might not be able to always buy all of them - but if you're allowed to do so, go straight.

One more thing! Note that not every skin is not worth it, here's some examples of what's worth and what's not. Remeber - that's my opinion, so it might be worth to you.
  • Unlimited Skin: These are skins that are always avaible to buy, are more expensive than the limiteds; and grant more useful boosts. These are only avaible to the natural islands.

  • Limited Skin: These are skins that aren't always avaible to buy. It may be weird that it always do appears in the market, but i don't recommend buying them if not avaible in-game but in shop. These skins grant less useful boosts, but are less expensive than the unlimited skins. These are avaible for most of the islands and more worth than the unlimited skins. We mostly call these as seasonal island skins.




Unlimited Skins
  • Unlimited Skins: The unlimited skins aren't worth it (except water island, it won't be included here and will be shown later). Well - not all of these aren't really not worth it, like air, plant & cold, except earth island, which will be shown later why.

  • Earth Island: I don't really know what to say about this island's unlimited skin, because it's not very bad. However, i'd say this island skin is not worth if you have decorated the island with the black tiles. So in my opinion, i don't know what to say, but i'd say it's not.

  • Water Island: Very worth it, i also think i didn't need to say. There are not really problems with the tiles and the background is very amazing - also the tiles really combine with the island!

Limited Skins / Natural Islands
  • Plant Island: The skin is not very worth it. But if you really want to buy, you can buy so. In my opinion, this island skin is not very bad, i think it is good. However, there is a problem about the design (which is not very big), the design is just a little bad because the skin is just plant island edditing a few things, for example - background, ground, colossal, etc... - which makes it not very worth. But this skin will really depend if you like it.

  • Cold Island: The skin is very worth it. I don't know what to say why it is good - but the decoration around the island looks very good!

  • Air Island: The skin is very much worth it, as we can say. Because there are a lot of decorations around the island, which makes it very worth it! The decorations of the event combine a lot with this island.

    No much further will be added, i'm kinda busy to add- no actually the reason is that i didn't want to make the guide too big...
Grid Planning
I know this is mostly used for islands like Wublin Island and Ethereal?

But i've "recently" discovered that islands don't look like symetrical, which is a big problem to people who love decorating their islands.

So the way i do to decorate my islands as being symetrical is, not placing tiles on the places which aren't symetrical.
For the cases of islands that don't have tiles, such as wublin and celestial or tiles you can't buy (for "expensive" reasons/level difficulties), the way i do is by using decorations. There might be other ways to do this aswell, but i'd prefer this.

(The only problem about that is on gold island, although there is no tiles which are non-symetrical)

Not only that; But you can also plan some things you wanna... uhhh... just don't know what to say. Place?
If havin' any questions about grid planning, check the wiki still.
Outro
Well - that's the guide.

Hope this guide helps y'all guys!



(If you wanna add me, my friend code is 4001431283AF. please send a lot of keys, i need to get all ethereal dipsters alongside new dipsters on islands.)
