@sakuratree - Welcome to Egg Cave! If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.

If you are replying to someone, you should ping them. Otherwise, they won't know that you've done so. To ping someone, either click the bell icon under their username in the forums, or type an @ followed by their username (e.g. @sparklefox ). You can only ping up to five people per post.

Checking out the Forum Rules and the Site Guidelines would be an easy way to start. Other useful links are the FAQ and eCode.

A common mistake from newbies is that they'll ping and reply to people using their own wall. Pinging does not work out of forums and the blog, and to reply to people's comments you go to their wall instead.

I apologise if you knew any of the above information already.

Welcome to Eggcave! Let's hope you enjoy your stay here. ^-^

Here are some common questions I asked myself when I started:

1. How did those people get colored profiles and posts?
Well, I don't know about other people but I learned it here. There are also some helpful topics located in the forums that talk about this.

2. What are all these people talking about? They keep saying things like "Cave Commons" "Endangered Creatures" "Retired Creatures" "Seasonal Creatures" "Asteroid Creatures"and "Monthiles"
Alright, first things first: Cave Commons are creatures that can be found in The Cave all year round. These creatures include Wynerls, Horscas, and Dinnos. (Not to be confused with Monthlies)

Endangered Creatures are creatures that were Cave Commons, but now they are now no longer able to be stolen from The Cave. You can get these creatures from the Leila Oasis. I read somewhere that they only show up at certain times, but I'm not entirely sure.

Retired Creatures are creatures that were Monthiles, but they are no longer available to steal in The Cave. The only way to get these creatures is by way of trading or sometimes people put them up for auction in the Auction House.

Seasonal Creatures are creatures that can only be obtained at certain times of the year. An explain would be the Kujak.

Asteroid Creatures are creatures only obtained from the Mysterious Asteroid. However, they are very rare and you can only try for one once a day. I would give you a list, but I don't know them at the top of my head. You can ask other people or search from them in the forums.

Monthlies are creatures that are available in The Cave from the beginning of their month, to the end of their month. For example, the April Monthlies are the Chinchilly and Chimmy. They become Retired Creatures at the start of a new month.

3. What's the rarity of creatures?
You can find their exact rarity number on their Archives page, but it also depends on their popularity. Oscoas and Lumineses and very popular creatures.

Do you have any other questions? I'll be happy to answer them!
