Time To Go Shopping

May 6, 2014 at 5:05 PM

GO SHOPPING - The Food Shop, Toy Shop, Bakery, and Bean Sack have all opened around Ark. There are now nearly 1000 items on Egg Cave! Our site navigation has been updated with these links (see Shops).

ITEM EFFECTS - Use items with your creatures in your Inventory. Most items increase your creatures' happiness, in addition to a possible chance of a stats increase!

NEW CREATURE STATS - Creature profiles have been updated. Keep track of how many Food and Toy items you've used with your creatures at their profiles. Note: these stats aren't factored into your creatures' levels.

COMING SOON - Item trading and item quests! And all of the fun suggestions you might have for us. ;)

@Orderedchaos What even are the stats? I can't find them anywhere or do you have to buy and use a food/toy first?

sweetiebelle12345 • 6 May 2014, 5:35 PM

the menus are messed up, and ive already cleared my cache

Meteoroid • 6 May 2014, 5:35 PM

@carter If you feed a creature food, their Feed stat -may- increase. Toys -may- increase Click stats.

Orderedchaos • 6 May 2014, 5:35 PM

@carter When you use a toy/food item it increases the happiness of the creature you use it on and has a chance of giving it a feed or click.

I'm not used to this new drop down bar, but I'll get used to it soon, just like when they changed the forums look and the sidebar.

lucas • 6 May 2014, 5:37 PM

geez guys this is a big site update, with tons of new stuff that most of us asked for, you could just stop complaining @-@

spiritkoi • 6 May 2014, 5:38 PM

I like it, except for the part I keep clicking My Stuff, instead of the Blog. xD

silverserpent • 6 May 2014, 5:38 PM

@spiritkoi I do that too. xD

Meteoroid • 6 May 2014, 5:39 PM

@spiritkoi The logo should take you to the main page now. 😊 I've done it before, though, haha.

Meteoroid • 6 May 2014, 5:41 PM

@sweetiebelle12345 It should be displaying on your end after the cache clearing. If the problem is persisting, send in a Ticket.

destinyrose • 6 May 2014, 5:44 PM

lol i love the glowing duck

animegirlalways • 6 May 2014, 5:46 PM

Loving all the updates Egg Cave has been getting. ❤️ 😃

spiritkoi • 6 May 2014, 5:47 PM

Do rarer items increase more stats? 😋

Meteoroid • 6 May 2014, 5:47 PM

@spiritkoi They have a higher chance of increasing the stat, actually.

spiritkoi • 6 May 2014, 5:50 PM

@Meteoroid Okay. How much do all the items increase by? 1? 2? 10? 20?

Meteoroid • 6 May 2014, 5:51 PM

@spiritkoi As of the moment, they all have a chance of increasing a stat by 1.

spiritkoi • 6 May 2014, 5:53 PM

@Meteoroid Okay!

immortalraven • 6 May 2014, 5:54 PM

Only really interested if they increase stats. Use Tim's for happiness. Oh well, bought a few and got an uncommon already o-0

metaphor • 6 May 2014, 5:58 PM

Omg, this is absolutely perfect! Love it! Hope to see this really help EC's economy.😊

Zac • 6 May 2014, 6:00 PM

I've been endlessly searching for the fabled cinnamon bonbon. 😋 Marzi's being stingy with them :/

metaphor • 6 May 2014, 6:01 PM

And omg, Neopets is not the only site with shops. Most pet sites have shops.

spiritkoi • 6 May 2014, 6:01 PM

@zaC Umm, I saw it but didn't buy it. ><

Orderedchaos • 6 May 2014, 6:02 PM

@immortalraven Food and toys have a chance of increasing feeds and clicks, respectively.

immortalraven • 6 May 2014, 6:03 PM

I had seen one too >.< But decided ta skip it xD

immortalraven • 6 May 2014, 6:04 PM

I know, but only a chance so not as interested in em, though still bought some just cause lol

crunchyoreo25 • 6 May 2014, 6:05 PM

Whoa this is so cool 😱

destinyrose • 6 May 2014, 6:06 PM

i just wish there was more instock ☹️ been really hard to get anything

metaphor • 6 May 2014, 6:06 PM

Suggestion: User shops/galleries? inb4 OMG NEOPETS. No. Just no. I have a shop on pretty much every site I play, including Neo.

Meteoroid • 6 May 2014, 6:07 PM

@destinyrose Users are just excited right now. Once the initial rush settles down, it should be easier to find food/toys. 😊

Meteoroid • 6 May 2014, 6:08 PM

@metaphor That's actually something we want to do! Might not be until after the item trading center, though.

metaphor • 6 May 2014, 6:10 PM

That sounds good then. I'm happy to hear it. 😊

crunchyoreo25 • 6 May 2014, 6:10 PM

Is is just me, or is the top part (my stuff, explore, community, etc.) kinda weird?

Meteoroid • 6 May 2014, 6:11 PM

@crunchyoreo25 The navigation? It's been changed for this update, so you might have to clear your cache.

crunchyoreo25 • 6 May 2014, 6:12 PM

Oh it's normal now. Thanks ^^

pipkitten • 6 May 2014, 6:19 PM

Interesting! 😊 Don't know how much shopping I'll be doing, but I'm loving the update!

spiritkoi • 6 May 2014, 6:19 PM

I just keep staring at that glowing rubber Honk. xP

mrsgiggles • 6 May 2014, 6:20 PM

It'd be cool if we can set up our own shops too! 😊

tarepanda • 6 May 2014, 6:20 PM

so many, how will we keep track of them all 😋

Meteoroid • 6 May 2014, 6:20 PM

Of course, food/toys won't be the only item types, so those who don't find it useful right now may find it useful later on. 😊

lucas • 6 May 2014, 6:23 PM

OOOOH so you can use the toy till it breaks~ awesome!

fakeworld • 6 May 2014, 6:24 PM

I love it, but my navigation has been messed up, how do I fix it if I can? http://prntscr.com/3gve9w

Meteoroid • 6 May 2014, 6:26 PM

@fakeworld Clear your cache. That should fix it then.

sophia123 • 6 May 2014, 6:36 PM

nice idea!but don't like haggling for food/toys.and it would be nice if the shops would be full the 1st days, so everyone could try them

fakeworld • 6 May 2014, 6:38 PM

@Meteoroid Thank you, I already cleared them, It was just the browser I was on. 😊

sprite • 6 May 2014, 6:48 PM

Gingerlion art ❤️

silverserpent • 6 May 2014, 7:05 PM

Random question: What's up with broccoli and cheese? I've seen it on other sites too. Do people actually eat it and where in the world?

itslisaaa • 6 May 2014, 7:06 PM

Yay 😸

Meteoroid • 6 May 2014, 7:11 PM

@silverserpent I've tried it before. I believe it's mostly an American thing. We put cheese on everything, I guess. Or 'cheese product'.

bliss • 6 May 2014, 7:16 PM

I wish there was a disable button to hide the stretched table on critter profiles, if say you're never going to use the toys/etc.

musicgurl333 • 6 May 2014, 7:17 PM

I like the new updates, and I'm looking forward to see what else is in store! 😊
