@obsidianmage Hello to you 😊 Welcome to Egg Cave, where you collect creatures, connect with other people and trade / auction off any items or creatures!

You should go read the FAQ to get a better understanding of this game. The Forum is always a great place to ask away you question!
Here is a few tips for you concerning reature values:

A few things to consider when checking for the prices and worth of a creature :
- Check for it's rarity. That is, check their population rank (on the creatures profile through the Archives). If it's closer to one, the creature is really common. If it's closer to 657 (the current number of critters on the site total) then it's almost non-existant. For example, the Efni which is currently getting engineered and is thus non-available, which means nobody has it, is thus ranked 657 on 657.
- Check it's availability. An Available creature is less worth than a Seasonal which is less worth than an Endangered which is less worth than a Retired. You can see their availability through their creature profile on the Archives.
- Check the year they were born. Creatures from 2010 (which goes way back to the beginning of the site) are worth way more than a creature created in 2017-2018.
- Etc. Some people give mroe worth to creatures if they are born a certain date, il they evolved at a certain date and if they have little stars on them. (Star creatures are really rare and they usually are worth much more than their couterpart with no stars)

Never forget to first collect creatures based on what you like and enjoy. Participate in events when they come to gain eggs that might become rare in the future. Ask people around and just be careful about their answers. You can always check through trade and auction to see what the average is.

Oh and the difference between EC and CC... CC is worth a lot more than CC because with it you can buy Cash Shop creatures which become automatically retired at the end of the month. This means the creature will become prized in the futur. For example, if you check the Falcena and the Cloveater, not many have them. If I remember correctly Falcena is ranked 649 and Cloveater 628 which means not a lot of people came around to buy them. In the futur, they might be worth much more than the 500CC that was paid.

So don't forget to check around the website, ask people. Those that have been around for a long time will be able to help you as they've grown with the creature worth fluctuation. If you have any questions, feel free to ask again!

Thank you! I’ll have to go check some of that out, and I’ll be sure to keep it all in mind!
