The choice that tells your slime gardeners what to care about: grow, decor or harvest.Also known as: focus

History
Retired terms
These belong to earlier versions of VibeMon. They are kept so old links and old articles still make sense, and each page points to what replaced it.

A retired VibeMon concept: the growth stage (0–5) of the old pixel-pet slime. The garden has no growth stages.Also known as: 성장 단계, growth stage
