Welcome! Put the @ symbol in front of my username to ping. The most common mistake is that pinging doesn't work in comments- you have to post on the other person's wall 😊 If you are looking for creature, check out @foreveryone or @giftie! 😃 They have plenty of critters waiting for new users! 😃

@mandragora_mate - 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 be notified of your reply and therefore be unaware that you've done so. To ping someone, simply type an @ followed by their username (e.g. @sparklefox ). You can also click the left-pointing orange arrow in the grey box below a forum post. You can only ping up to five people per post, and anyone pinged after those five people will not receive notifications about the ping.

Checking out the Forum Rules and the Site Guidelines would be an easy way to start. These explain what is and what isn't acceptable regarding the site itself and the forums. A couple of other useful links are the Player Guide (a helpful list of commonly asked questions) and the eCode guide (the code tags used around the site, such as the tags I'm using to make this appear in italics. Just a little tip, but EC doesn't seem to currently support BBCode or HTML tags, so posting your creatures onto these forums using the codes provided for them will not work.).

A common mistake from newbies is that they'll ping and reply to people who have commented on their wall using their own wall. Pinging does not work out of forums and the blog, and to reply to the comments made on your wall, you go to the user's wall instead. That way, they will be notified about your reply.

Egg Coins (EC) is the main currency of this site, and is used to purchase most of the things available on the site - such as items and travels for your creatures. These are mainly gained through feeding eggs / creatures. Creature Cash (CC) is another currency and is used in the Cash Shop Park. This is purchased through real life money and can be spent on many exclusive items and creatures only available here. Exchange Credits (XC) is for use in the Click Exchange - found by clicking on the XC amount in the sidebar. These are gained through clicking the creatures in the Click Exchange, and every click on any creature(s) you have in here uses one of your XC. If you have none left, then your creature(s) won't appear in the Click Exchange until you gain more (and yes, getting a minus amount is completely normal and happens when people click fast enough on your creature(s)).

This post here explains many different abbreviations which are commonly used around this site. It would be helpful to read through it, in my opinion.

Any creature which has reached level 2,000 or over is considered immortal and so cannot die. To evolve your creatures, you need to reach the right amount of stats for that creature's species (200 feeds, 1,000 views, etc.). You can find this out via looking up the species in The Archives, available under the Explore tab above.

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

Have a great day, and a nice time here!

mandragora_mate • 5 June 2017 at 3:57 PM

@luv thanks I will I will be feeding/viewing/clicking everyones eggs and critters 😃 everybody have a craze-amaze day/night!

sparklefox • 5 June 2017 at 4:47 PM

@mandragora_mate - You're very welcome! I agree, this site certainly has a great community.

mandragora_mate • 5 June 2017 at 5:09 PM

@sparklefox I agree as well, also do you know if these pets are breedable? I mean do you get hybrids? or can you only breed male/female of same species?

sparklefox • 5 June 2017 at 6:02 PM

@mandragora_mate - There is currently no way to breed creatures on Egg Cave, sorry to say.

mandragora_mate • 5 June 2017 at 6:36 PM

Thats Ok thanks for telling me I just wondered because all of the creatures are just so amazing that if you could cross species how amazing would those babies be? @sparklefox

sparklefox • 6 June 2017 at 11:55 AM

@mandragora_mate - They would be amazing. I'm imagining the possible combinations now.

mandragora_mate • 6 June 2017 at 12:14 PM

@sparklefox me too! I want a mandragora/mandrake themed creature they are like little plant men that lurk in the forests, I want a Kappa soooooooo bad -_- Wish I knew about this site earlier lol I am also on MagiStream they have cool creatures 😃

sparklefox • 6 June 2017 at 2:54 PM

@mandragora_mate - Ooh, a mandrake-themed creature would be cool. I'd love to see a creature like that.

I've used MagiStream in the past, but I haven't been on that site in around a year or two now. I agree, that site has some amazing creature designs. They're some of my favourites on any adoptable site.

mandragora_mate • 6 June 2017 at 4:37 PM

@sparklefox I might try to draw one for creature desighns 😃

sparklefox • 6 June 2017 at 5:49 PM

@mandragora_mate - I'll definitely look forward to that creature suggestion.

...I'd say we've gone pretty off-topic now, huh? Sorry.

mandragora_mate • 6 June 2017 at 7:30 PM

@sparklefox no problem I enjoy peoples thoughts, as long as they aren't negative that is lol well thanks again for all the help 😊
