Yarolds!

I am guessing this has been asked a thousand times so apologies. Just checking that we are allowed to use Yarold's for Egg Cave? If so (I believe we can?) how effective do you find it for hatching? I have so many creatures to develop I thought this may be a good avenue to try out?

Appreciate your feedback 😊

@tash
Yes, we're allowed to use it 😊


I only used it about maybe once or twice, but I have friends who do and they tell me really helps, it's just time consuming. Oh and it depends on what stat the creature needs in order to evolve. If it need feeds, then I would say it wouldn't be very effective.

@fakeworld yeah I was thinking it wouldn't work for feeds. Would it work for both views and clicks? To be honest I don't really know the difference between the two.

I always end up going through all the creatures on the exchange, hence why I thought I would give Yarolds a go.

If it's feeds you need Yarold's isn't very effective, but it helps a little. Yarold's works best for clicks and views because people on Yarold's click so much they don't stop to feed, or so I think at least. I try to feed all Egg Cave links I find on there though. 😊

By the way, it's important that you link to you creatures like this: http://www.eggcave.com/click/1536180
Instead of this: http://www.eggcave.com/egg/1536180

Because if it says /egg/ instead of /click/ you'll only get views. 😊

@tash
A click is when someone clicks your creature through its direct link, so an actual 'click' has to take place in order for your creature click stat to increase. A view is when anyone around the web load a webpage and sees your creature, whether it's on EC or even in your signature on another website. So it should work well for both, but I would say it's most effective with clicks. Many people use Yarolds as an immortalizing service instead though, but it should definitely help.

@silverserpent thanks for the tip about linking!

@fakeworld thanks for the detailed explanation.

I get it now, yay. 😊
