Hi, I'm Saga. I am eleven years old. My birthday is on the sixth of April. I'm a noob here and I'm collecting dragon and halloween creatures. Except Sheepishly, he's my favorite, sheep. I'm not sure what to put as an introduction, excuse me. Bare with me! I like dragons they are beautiful magical creatures. Halloween is my favorite holiday. My favorite animal is sheep. Baaa! I really enjoy playing video games, drawing, reading, and going to school, and hangout with friends. I hope to complete my dragon, sheep, and halloween goals and make friends!

Welcome to Eggcave! 😊 Here’s some tips if you’re just getting started:
1. Leave a comment or send a private message to users that you want to contact (some users prefer PM, so check they’re profile and wall first).
2. Feed other users’ creatures to gain EC! There’s a ton of different items that you can buy directly from the site’s shops, and you can trade EC with other users to get the creatures you want (and possibly even cavecash if you have enough EC to spare and someone has it for trade!)
3. Before feeding other users’ creatures, check their profile to see if their cove is “feed friendly” (meaning you can feed any and all of their creatures). Some users have creatures they don’t want to evolve, but they don’t have the cavecash to freeze them yet. If this is the case, they will most likely state that in their profile or status, and will have a cove list labeled “Feed List” that is safe to click on and feed.
4. Leave a comment if you feed someone’s cove and want them to feed yours back (notifications can get jumbled sometimes, so leaving a comment is more likely to result in a feedback).
5. When others post on your wall, leave your reply on their wall so that they see it.

Anyways, that’s just a little advice for getting started. Good luck, and have fun! 😊


Also, here’s the link to the Player Guide/FAQ 😊

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

Some of this may have already been stated in the post above, so bare with me here.

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.).

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.

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!
