I didn't knew there was so few playing this in New Zealand... (currently 58 players)
So, I am not in fact very well positioned. Although, I must say that after getting some advanced PET's, things started to change. There a lot more combinations and way less "waiting" to keep playing, therefore active players will start getting an advantage.
Also, remember to upgrade your town! The addition to magic is being quite advantageous.
It's probably where I spend most of my materials
Most of the materials are not the ones I need to bump my weapons, armor, etc... so I spend them on building the town. Would be nice if we could also use PETs in the town. Maybe even have fights with them!
Initially I was focusing on creating pickaxes to collect some magic from the debris... But that easily got overwhelmed by the amount of benefits you get from building a town.
And I still think there's need for some adjustment on the expansion evolution vs the amount of spaces you need at a certain level.

CUP Event running!
The Cup is a great place for you to trial and get some Magic for FREE. At the beginning it was kind of hard to reach a decent place, but know that they multiplied the speed of progress, is quite easy.
The experience so far...
At the beginning it was quite a crazy addicting game, then, when the evolution is kind of slow down, you get a lot of "boring" moments. But, after you can use the Dungeon and/or reach level 10 with any of the characters, things start to be more active.
Give it a try if you can!
