Hello EggCave!

Who doesn't like hatchable critters?
I found this lovely site via a siggy on another. ^^
So far it looks pretty nifty here. I like that there's more to do...I see a shop and games?

I look forward to lots of collecting!
❤ Dovie

@doviecaba - 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. Cave 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!

@sparklefox Thank you for all the wonderful information!
I was wondering about text formating and immortality in particular. ^^
And the abbriviations are going to be super helpful!

I do have another question if you're availible though.
What happens when you add items to your creatures?
Like toys, books, food, etc.
Also, backgrounds/trikets, are they removable or perminantly attached to the creature once applied?

And the last, are names editable?

@doviecaba

I think you can get you can get your creatures now XD

I don't know about toys, but I know about backgrounds.
Only if they're from they are from the CSP will they be multi-use.
You can remove all, but you can only use them 1 time.

You can edit names for the price of 1,000 🪙

@doviecaba
To continue with the above post, toys can be used until they break. It is random how many times toys can be played with before they break.

You can buy to change names at the Town Hall and it is 1000 EC.

@doviecaba - It's been answered already, but I'll provide my own answer just in case.

If you use a background (travel) on a creature, it simply 'adds' that background to the creature's image (as you can see on Mastergemma's profile creature). If you use any other item (such as the food or toys), it raises the creature's happiness. If you remove a travel from the creature, the travel is gone forever and cannot be used again (UNLESS you bought the travel from the Cash Shop Park, in which case they can be taken off and used again). Food items are one use, I believe, but the toys can be used until they break at random.

And yes, names can be edited. However, name changes cost 1,000 EC. To change a name, go to Your Cove (click the "[number] Creatures" tab in the green sidebar) and click the icon that looks like a pencil on a piece of paper under the desired creature.

Sorry for the late response.
