I haven't been here in a long time

and I have no concept of the value of creatures anymore haha

I'm seeing a cave creature (Fairtop) in the auctions going for 100,000 EC? are they in high demand or hard to find?? what am I missing here? I really want to get back into trading and stuff but the last thing I want is to give up really valuable creatures (or a lot of EC) for something that isn't worth nearly as much

also what do toys do? and what's with the coffee shop?

Hi, welcome back!

Fairtops are monthlies. They aren't "rare," they're just really liked.

I definitely would recommend waiting before you start trading (observe the auction/trading center). And definitely ask some people you trust to check the values before you trade. A lot of people tend to target returning users and ripping them off.

Don't worry, I am on the same boat you are 😋 returned from a 4 year break and everything was just confusing.

Hey thanks man, lol. Yeah, I remember seeing a /lot/ of newbies getting ripped off while I was here, though most the oldies seemed to know what they were doing. Thank you so much for the link. Also I was wondering if it'd bother you if I asked you about values sometimes? All my old friends are gone.

Sure, 😃 I don't mind. For more recent creatures and a few LEs/monthlies, I think I can give a good estimate. For old CC creatures, I recommend you asking other people since my value meter's broken for those . 😋

Thanks again haha.
Okay sorry for all the questions but what's the point of Bean Sack, Trinket Travels and the Bakery/Food Shop?

@ems
Ohh, don't worry about asking me questions. XD I really don't mind. 😃

Bean shop, bakery, and food shop are there for buying food items. Food items can be used for increasing your feed stats. (Books -> views, toys->clicks. For some people, they buy these items for their collection (they are item collectors).

It is not necessary to buy items.

Trinket travels are basically just your old, regular TA travels. They're just glorified. Some of them, when applied to certain creatures, can make it look like they have "wings."

(It's kind of like when you go into a photo booth, dress up with hats/glasses/all those good stuff.)
