Playing Scramblecoin boosts your friendship with the character you play against and raises your ranking. As your Scramblecoin ranking increases, you will steadily gain access to new pieces with different abilities.
While you’re wandering around and working to raise your friendship with characters around the valley through Scramblecoin, keep an eye out for any monkeys you can stop and feed or important resources worth gathering like Tropical Wood. Since you can only initiate a Scramblecoin game by actually tracking down the character you want to play with, you’ll likely be wandering around quite a bit which means it’s a good idea to consider tackling other important activities as you do.
