No, you are not required to purchase parcels, badges, or any other items to complete the Monthly Challenge ladder successfully.

How the flexible system works:

• No mandatory purchases - Buying parcels or badges is completely optional
• Multiple task options - You can choose from various challenge types based on your preferences
• Alternative paths - There are always free alternatives to reach the same reward tiers
• Your choice - Pick the tasks that fit your playstyle and budget

What this means for you: You have the freedom to focus on the challenges you enjoy most, whether they involve spending or not. The point system is designed so that dedicated players can reach top rewards through any combination of available tasks.

Examples of free alternatives: Instead of purchasing items, you can earn points through minigames, completing missions, daily activities, and other gameplay elements that don't require real money.

Pro tip: Review all available challenges at the start of each season and plan a strategy using the tasks you're most comfortable with. You'll find there are plenty of ways to earn maximum rewards without any required purchases.
