Some FAQ and some known Issues

Is it worth to spend money on the game?
Short answer: No.

Longer answer: if you have money to spare, you can. The bang for your buck varies greatly. And be warned, they have scam like traps and interface features to make you lose your purchased currency and they have quite misleading items, that you might not have wanted, if you knew what they were. And should you accidentally spend Rubies, the support won't be much of a help.

How do I start Events?
There are different types. Either you have to play maps and open the pods and take rewards home or you have to click on the event icon to go to special event map.

I found rubies on a level. What should I do?
Short answer: Take them home.

Long answer: If you collect 5 small rubies, you get a profit of 5. If you take them home for one ruby, you can merge them to 2 huge rubies, for a profit of 3 rubies.

Same applies for huge rubies. If you collect 5 huge rubies, we get a profit of 20. If you merge them, you get two of the highest ruby level. After collecting them, you get a whopping profit of 10 rubies.

I opened a needed container on an event map.
There are three free ones. Usually one in the open and two under different cloaked areas. If you completely emptied one of the free ones, you have to pay Rubies to correct that. You have to merge them for the bigger version. It will be an opened bigger Version.

What Levels should I play for Pod Event?
The consensus on discord seems to be: Golden Pod Levels for Event Points and 1-Crown Levels for Event Items. Most Levels that cost 4 Crowns to enter drop golden Pods. Do not merge for Platinum. But you should merge the copper Pods to a silver one.

The maps that are not finished by getting the Fertility Statue seem bugged. Maybe more. The level end rewards are fewer for them, but higher quality, to compensate the bug a little.

My Item spawner won't spawn items?!
You need free tiles around it and active time. Active as in: no menus open and no dialog that asks if you are still playing. If your nymphs stop flying around, you are not active. Your browser might put the game into background and slow it down, even if you still hear the music. If you press Alt-Tab and hold it, you have to see your nymphs still flying around in the preview thumbnail.

How do I get more Crowns (permanently)?
You do not. 7 is maximum for regeneration. If you have more than 6, regeneration will not start. You can have more than 7, if you use Crown objects. Maximum entry cost is 7.

I lost connection / maintenance happened and suddenly I should pay Crowns to re-enter my map! And even more than last time. WTF?
This should no longer happen. The game loads you directly into the last level, be it home or a map.

Before that, you were loaded into map select and thus had to pay Crowns to re-enter your last map plus an additional fee. This mechanic supposedly was installed to discourage in-map farming with the unlimited Stamina, but became rather obsolete, because in-map buildings got nerfed later.

How to get a special Event Nymph?
Wait until Event Nymph returns or look for her in the shop, if she is offered for Rubies. The space Nymph and the Summer Nymph did have a return already.

Does the Kitsune Nymph grow more tails?
Yes. At T4.

Mobile Version
There is now a mobile app version of Merge Nymphs for Android. On the web version, click the green Android logo below the game. You have to allow installs from other sources of course. Recommended are 2 Gigs of Ram, FullHD and Android 4.4+. You might be able to play it in browser with desktop version of the site, but then you need lots of more Ram, 6 Gig might work.

There is no iOS version forApple devices and there isn;t going to be one - this is due to Apple's content policies excluding adult titles.

How do I aim Healing?
If you find a reliable method to predict direction of healing, write it here. Until then, release the healing as near to the to be healed tile as possible and far away from other polluted tiles and hope for the best. Watch out for dead tiles, they get aimed at too. And of course golems will attract healing.

Auto-Harvest sucks / my home is a mess! What can I do?
Devs know. Situation might become better. Maybe. Someday. Feature is hinted at, specifics and release date unknown. Only thing known, it is supposed to be more complex than a turn off button.

Until then, this is a puzzle game. There are strategies to combat auto-harvest and you can use auto-harvest to your benefit sometimes. As a hint: what is not there, cannot be harvested at all. And what is far away (from view) gets harvested a lot less.

Latest updates made it possible to disable Auto-Harvest at Home. Access the setting to disable.

Dimensional Chests suck. What to do?
If you accidentally buy one, open a Nutaku ticket. For selling/trashing them, use a long click to be safe. Devs know the situation and they try to better it. The last "improvement" though, was only a slight decrease in price. And of course you can do what everyone else is doing: bitch about them on discord.

Prices in the Shop do not reset?
The resetting was claimed to have been a bug in the first place; and they were not intended to reset. Nymphs and Chests and Safes and Keys have a cap, above which the price will not increase no matter how many you buy. Buildings do not. Just play the game and do not worry too much. The three buildings are not that important. You need a modicum of storage to consume the big currency items, but the currency will come from harvesting with your nymphs and not from clicking your storage buildings. And 4 of the T1 Brothels are just as good as 1 T8 Brothel.

Why can't I heal that tile? Why is it immune?
You skipped the tutorial, didn't you. It is a dead tile. You need a special tile next to it (that can be polluted) or you need to include the item on the dead tile in a merge.

I have a dead pod/gargoyle/nymph on home. How do I heal that?
Pod: Rewards from Quests or Take home from map for rubies.

Gargoyle: Buy in Shop for Coins

Nymph: Deactivate Option to disable Merge 3 for Nymphs, if you have no patience. Otherwise, just do a merge 5.

That quest is impossible! How do I do that?
Weekly: ignore. Wait a week. Heal 9000 Tiles is such a beast.

Global: it is not impossible. It will just block your quests for a long time. Bad Luck. Or you can pay up and skip that quest.

Map: this is a puzzle game. There might be a grind involved though. Those quests are optional after all.

How can I do this challenge? It is too hard!
All the challenges are possible - except Challenge 10, unless you are incredibly lucky. That really is too hard. Not doable in 5 minutes. It was changed at one point and that made it worse, then was changed to make it slightly less worse. The initial timer was changed to 6 minutes, so that might be doable, best times on Discord bragged about were under 6 minutes.

All other Challenges, well, this is a puzzle game. Forget about your usual nice tactics and mechanics. Concentrate on the Objective of that map. What do you really need to do? Maybe you are aware of some mechanics that can help you and do not try to heal tiles you do not need for the Objective. Maybe you solved part 1 of the challenge in a certain way, but this was not the answer to solving the puzzle fast.

My Crystal Well/Mine does not give Water?
You are playing on event map. Items there might be different. And of course the highest Tier Mine really does not give Water.

How can I get Keys on Event Map? The Ents do not drop them?!
That is rather curious, yes. Ents do not drop Keys on event Maps (subject to change without notice. They did drop them at some older events). If the puzzle involves keys, you should wait to open any closed chests.

How do I get lot's of ink?
Lot's of Golem Totems and free space around them. You get the totems from playing levels. Better totems drop slightly faster, but not fast enough to make 2 totems as fast as 5 of the lower tier.

How do I bubble Items?
This is a puzzle game. There are like five or more ways to do that. If you can't figure it out, here. And any big structure will practically bubble itself and obviously, if you get something in a bubble, no one forces you to open it early (ok, lag does encourage you to). And there is talk, that you can break your save game, if you have too many bubbles/items at home.

There is no Ruby spending confirmation
Open a Nutaku ticket, should you fall prey to this. Your chances to get refunded are slim to zero, but if no one complains, they will not change the bad user interface, that does not protect you against unwanted purchases and accidental clicks.

A tactic against it, is to store your rubies as items and only consume them when needed. And of course, not buying Rubies in the first place. Why give them money in the first place, if they can't safeguard your investment.

Black Screen in Chrome
Update your graphics driver. Try out your hardware acceleration option. Try different Browser. The game needs WebAssembly and WebGL2 support to run.

3 T7 Ents merge to 3 T8 Ents on event map
More like a feature.

This feature has been fixed\nerfed as of the Night in the Woods event, so it now only gives a single T8 for merging 4 T7s,  the same as every other item type.

Fertilizer from Earth Event does not work!
That was fixed. New "Issue": you cannot get lowest Living plant.

T9 Sex Toy cannot be merged
This was fixed. Rarity after legendary goes down again. New Issue, the highest tier does not have an Icon. There might be changes abound. The sex toys are recycled icons from the space event and highest there was the cock pylon and that thing was a reward and is a shell spawner and not a score point consumeable item. Might be similar to the ice cream items.

New Quests in Home and Event maps
There were buttons added to fetch the next quest. You still have to manually click that button to progress a new quest. Before that you had to leave and re-enter to get new Quests.

There might still be display bugs, which quest gets progress or some duplicate entries.

Event Point items from previous Events can be consumed / can not be deleted
This is fixed. More or less. Until other information comes up, it is assumed, the devs configure the consumability away for old even items. You can consume event items, even if you are at max event points. This is usually unwanted, because those event point items will give you shells in the long run. And this is the answer to the other issue:

You can not delete them, because you should merge them up to a shell. If you managed to not get the spawner item and still have some undeleteables around, consider visiting discord and bitching about it in the issue channel.

You cannot merge Ice Cream up to a Sweet Dessert
Well, apparently not. They are from Summer event and back then, you could get the Sweet Dessert as a Reward and even Ice Cream Machines, but since that thing is a shell spawner, the devs removed the ability to merge the home version of ice cream up to Dessert.
