There are several ways to earn food:
Posting: Each time you post or create a new thread you earn food. Please remember that all threads and posts created solely for the purpose of earning food belong in the Spam forum. The number of food given to you for your posts is random and does not depend on the length of your post or any other factor.
Voting: You can earn food by voting in the polls people have set up in their threads.
Games: You can earn food by playing the Kingdom of Knuffel Games and submitting a highscore. The amount of food you get depends on your score. You can only earn Food by submitting a highscore once a day.
Digging with your Knuffel: While digging on Candy Island with your Knuffel, your Knuffel can, among material for quests and items for your avatar, dig up food.
Leveling your Knuffel: Every tenth level your Knuffel levels up to, you earn 1000 FP. Make sure to post your Knuffel wherever you can to increase the experience your Knuffel gets. You do not have to be logged in and the person feeding your Knuffel doesn't require to have a Kingdom Of Knuffel account to give your Knuffel experience.
Selling your items: You can sell limited items obtained through events or bought with Fairy Coins to other Kingdom Of Knuffel users who do not have the possibility to donate to this site or who have missed past events in the Selling Offers forum or in the market.
Selling art or other services: You can use your skills to earn food by selling your art, poetry, banners, or other services to other users in the Custom Shops forum.
Submitting your art to the art gallery: Each time someone rates your art you get food. The amount you get depends on how good your rating is.
Rating and commenting art: Each time you rate or comment someone's art in the art gallery, you earn food.
Creating Wild Knuffel: Each time someone adopts a Wild Knuffel you created, you earn half the adoption fee.

How rude of me! I don't think we've been properly introduced. Hello! My name is Bri, but everyone on here knows me as Fire (or perhaps my old username, Fire_Wolf_Demoness). I've been a member of the Kingdom since 2009. I'm 22 years old, have a Bachelors of Science in Biology, and am pursuing a career in Forest Ecology and Conservation. I'm originally from the United States, but now I am traveling the world with the love of my life while doing remote Front End Web Dev work. I have a passion for forest ecology, conservation, environmental science, travel, foreign cultures, languages, and mythology, Tolkein's The Lord of the Rings novels, and the subsequent movies adapted from them, Hayao Miyazaki, Isao Takahata, and Studio Ghibli, Marvel (especially the MCU and the modern Black Widow and Hawkeye comics), playing guitar and piano, song-writing, fiction, the Harry Potter series, the A Song of Ice and Fire series, Wildlife photography, gray wolves, weapons and warfare tactics, martial arts, space, medieval European and Feudal Japanese history, tea, front end web dev, Pokemon, anime, manga, hiking, music, cooking, critters, and way too many more things to list here! I have a 4 year old Australian Shepherd puppy named Kohaku, a 16 year old tortoiseshell cat named Simba, and a three-toed box tortoise named Starry Night. My favorite food is dark chocolate, my favorite colors are red and black, my favorite animal is the gray wolf, my favorite ecosystems are Northern Hardwood Forests and Tropical Rainforests, and my favorite trees are the Red Maple, the Quaking Aspen, the Banyon Tree, and the Walking Tree.
But enough about me! Tell me about yourself!
Don't be shy - everyone here is so welcoming! We would love to get to know you better!
