Hi Scar! I'm April.

I'd be willing to answer any questions you have. (=

forever-scar • 21 May 2013 at 5:46 PM

my questions are more general questions about forum etiquette that i should be able to learn quickly maybe with a bit of help c;

however, i do have some specific ones. first is about the 'weighed rarity'. what does that mean, exactly? xC

@forever-scar

The weighted rarity on the archives you mean? It just tells you what creatures there's the most of. The lower the number, the rarer the creature is. Macbots and Doovoos have the lowest numbers, therefore, there is the least of them in existence. (=

But even if a creature is really rare, it might not trade for much based on other factors.

oh okay, i see. that makes sense. thank you c:

hmmm, let me see if i can think of anything else...are there any good ways you can recommend to make EC?

Welcome to Eggcave! (:


Feeding eggs is the quickest way to earn EC.~

forever-scar • 21 May 2013 at 5:52 PM

okay, thank you so much!

it's great that this community is so welcoming ~

@forever-scar

There's a few ways you can make EC.

Generally, the best way is by feeding pets. You're awarded EC whenever you do that. The 15th of every month is double feed day. Which means you get twice as much as you would get any other day.

You can also buy travels in the TA, depending what they are, and sell them to other users for a slightly higher cost. Though, there's really only certain travels that sell and it requires a lot of refreshing as they stock every once in awhile and disapear fairly quickly.

There's always the way of hatching common cave creatures and selling them. Or if you find a Mo or Terron in the cave, those are rare creatures.

The mysterious asteroid, if your'e lucky, you can get a creature from there and they're worth quite a bit.

Next, there's the 'Site Trivia,' located under community where you can guess the answer and hopefully win EC at the end of the day.

The short version? Just mass feed pets! XD

thank you so much. you're all so helpful! (:

okay, i think i have one more for now. what's going on with the science and research center?

@forever-scar

The Science and Research Center is where you can buy Callas. ^^ That's about all I know about it.

Welcome to Egg Cave.
I hope that you will enjoy Egg Cave, and welcome to the world of wonders. Egg Cave is a free adoptable site open to all.

I'm frosted. I'll start off with basics,
We notify a person in reply to a forum post by a ping. We can ping a person by adding a @ before their username. Like @frosted would give me a ping.

Here, Egg Coins, or 🪙 is the primary currency which is used for trading, buying travels, or spending it on shops or creatures. It is earned by feeding
Cave Cash, 💵 is the secondary currency which is earned by buying using real money in the CSP. It is used to buy items in the CSP. The CSP is the Cash Shop Park.

The main places in Egg Cave are:
The Archives providing all guides to the stats of creatures to evolve via feeds, views or clicks
Mysterious Asteroid giving a chance to get a super rare creature daily.
Cash Shop Park a place to buy CSP items.
Cave the place to adopt new eggs
Travel Agency a place to buy travels for your creatures
Tims Food Shoppe a shop which would provides healthy creatures while you're away
The SAR Center
Town Hall the place where you change your creatures names
The Trade Center where you negotiate trades
The Adoption Center where you can adopt creatures or abandon them.
Site Trivia a place where you can use your knowledge about Egg Cave to earn EC from a prize pool of 125,000 EC.

You can also make a storage account for storing more creatures but you cannot visit the Cave or Asteroid with your side account as it is considered cheating.

There are many abbreviations used for creatures, terms and places.
They are;
TC - Trade Center
AC - Adoption Cetner
TA - Travel Agency
UFT - Up For Trade
UFS - Up For Sale
UFA - Up For Adoption or Up For Auction
TNT - Transfer Not Trade
LE - Limited Edition
CRW - Creature Release Week
CSP - Cash Shop Park

Arpeg - Arpeggiarp
Paret - Pareteorsite
Stort - Storticai
Rhine - Rhinedorf

Once again, on behalf of the whole community, Welcome to EC.
