Thank you @lykhaos117 for starting this thread! 😊

@swmystery is my 100% feed-friendly side. (156)
For the month of October I'll be feeding from my main (obviously.) I would appreciate if people don't feed here, (but I'm not going to yell at people either.) If you do, *please* only feed my feed tab.
Feedbacks are sporadic, I have multiple health complications. (more likely to feedback those that feed on my swmystery side or people who PM me a request.)

I'm finding that feeding and the Donations Disaster are the best use of time for getting seeds quickly... the rest I'm just doing for fun. Anyone know anything to the contrary?

Mad Science:
My very first try I got it correct and got 18 seeds.
Later I was planning on picking a certain spot, but when i got to the page, one of my favorite deserts was there that always makes me smile. I had to pick it, and it was the correct one! 😃


Going to edit this whole post later (after I've had some sleep,) to post all my current questions and tips so people at least don't have to scroll through the rest of my posts.

lykhaos117 • 1 October 2021 at 2:47 AM

@snowywinter

You’re welcome, and added! 😊

I also think stargazing is a good way to get seeds, but I think it gets harder when you solve more of the puzzles.

snowywinter • 1 October 2021 at 2:56 AM

@lykhaos117 Thanks! sorry I forgot to include the number of creatures originally.
(Could you remove my main from the list above please... I sort of prefer people wandering to my cove organically. 😊 )

Oh, I LOVE the Stargazing! I wish so much we had a daily or even weekly activity similar to it. (Even if it only earned like 5 EC. lol.) I just did my fourth one, and it does seem to be getting a bit harder. I definitely had to pay attention. One connection almost "tricked" me.

tehuti88 • 1 October 2021 at 3:05 AM

Crud, just five constellations in and one misclick ruins my 100% accuracy I try to pride myself on. -_- It was one of those overlapping stars bits so I couldn't even see the missed one. (I think I actually did tap on it but obviously it didn't "take.") Just five constellations in!

...I know it means nothing but I've always done well at Stargazing and do my best to keep 100% accurate and it sucks to lose it, especially just five tries in. Now it's all besmirched and I'm not that motivated to continue. Sad sigh.

lykhaos117 • 1 October 2021 at 3:08 AM

@snowywinter

Just removed, and it’s fine! I’m okay with checking numbers for whole coves since it displays. 😊 And I love puzzle-like activities, so it would be nice to see more of those.

@tehuti88

Oh no. ☹️ Maybe try zooming in for future attempts?

snowywinter • 1 October 2021 at 3:18 AM

Thank you (again) @lykhaos117 : )
I wish the Mad Science was less like the Asteroid (random), and maybe more about knowing which items were appropriate for the season. (But the randomness goes with the theme. Maybe the season thing would make for another Trivia based game - perhaps as a site regular in addition to the current daily?)

@wild_wonders at 3:00 am I just got half a Travel of Terror before looking it up! 😃 I'll take even getting half right as a win. lol
And you're welcome, I'm glad i could help 😊

@tehuti88 Aw, that bites. I know how you feel. Even w/o a leaderboard, personal pride means a lot. (Before a page refresh I keeps seeing one less win that total, and it keeps freaking me out. ...but it's just because the most recent one wasn't tabulated.)

singasong99 • 1 October 2021 at 3:26 AM

@lykhaos117 Do you mind adding @singasong99, @nightingale99 and @gaze please? They could definitely use some feeds!

@snowywinter I can't even tell any travels. The Travel of Terror is the only one I haven't won in yet. ☹️ Anagrams aren't my thing.

@tehuti88 That's the worst! I've only gotten one and it took me 3 goes.

snowywinter • 1 October 2021 at 3:33 AM

p.s. If anyone is looking for any extra coves to feed, there are a bunch of dying/mortal coves I've been trying to keep alive. I have most of them listed on swmFeedList's profile.

@singasong99
I may have just gotten the first one I'll lose. The guide has really been helping me figure them out (It just takes a few minutes. (Feeding is a better use of time... but how often do we get games on here?!)
(Thank you for doing what you did for AF's cove btw! whatever it is, it was nice going to feed and not see most of them hovering around 0%)

singasong99 • 1 October 2021 at 3:40 AM

@snowywinter Feeding seems like a better option to me (both EC and seeds at the same time, win-win strategy!) so I've just stuck to that and the other games. The Corn Maze doesn't seem to give you any seeds though.

No problem! Hopefully her cove will stay alive longer. This way, more people will feed her cove! (and maybe some critter evolution teehee)

Edit: The Doovoo gives seeds and takes them in an alternating way. Take, win, take, win, take, win. So you can ask corresponding questions to make yourself feel better 😊
When I asked it 'Are you dead?' it told me 'Mostly' and gave me 5 seeds.

snowywinter • 1 October 2021 at 4:12 AM

@singasong99 I could be wrong, but doesn't the Corn Maze give random prizes? Did you check your inventory?
Hopefully someone can tell us, or say if they're getting anything (seeds.) Maybe there's a bug that needs to be reported (if enough people aren't getting anything.)

Edit:
Reposting my question from the blog here
Do we have to worry about losing items from inventory during this event? (Like Dragold)

singasong99 • 1 October 2021 at 4:24 AM

@snowywinter I did get inventory prizes, but never seeds. I was lucky enough to come across a retired r100 item, though.
The staff didn't mention losing items, so I think no.

snowywinter • 1 October 2021 at 4:32 AM

The Dragold travel is hard! (Wonders if this is the one that caught @tehuti88 - There was a spot on the legs that made me feel like it was the spot mentioned.)
But woot! just got my first random prize from this event.

singasong99 • 1 October 2021 at 4:55 AM

I'm not there yet. Which random prize are you referring to @snowywinter?

snowywinter • 1 October 2021 at 5:13 AM

@singasong99 One of the retired travels. (Dragold constellation)

ravensong • 1 October 2021 at 8:30 AM

Guide: Travels of Terror (2020 UPDATE!) and EggCavity's Travel Index and Trinket Travel Index are great tools to solve the Travels of Terror game!

izziedragon • 1 October 2021 at 9:37 AM

Hats off to anyone who can fo travel of terrors without a guide. I do not have those skills

snowywinter • 1 October 2021 at 10:33 AM

Stargazing advice... if you mess up, leave the page then come back. Do not submit your answer. I just messed up, and it worked. Lower amt of seeds because it took longer, but it didn't count against my success rate.

-
On a personal not. Whew... that Mad Science. I was getting so good at it I probably was sitting around a 50% ave. I got a few correct in a row even. ...then I hit a losing streak of about 15 in a row. Oof.

glaselkj • 1 October 2021 at 11:53 AM

i got a question that i need help with does any know the name of this travel item if u do know it let me know eSnkto4 nerS(Bcaa isgpe) Si

cho • 1 October 2021 at 12:18 PM

@lykhaos117 hi 😊 thanks for your effort!
please put @cho for list only
@name is completely feed friendly 😊
I can feed coves / lists 😊 mainly do lists!

@wild_wonders instructions for unscrambling (if you still need it)
- the full instruction and tips are on this creature written by me 😊

if anyone choose to post it somewhere else, please credit me!

As an example: gtDig akrs1e unnn ie)aS MaMer ttCao(ta
1. If need be, get rid of the "(Stage 1)" from the name but not necessary in Microsoft Word or any note pad.
2. So far you know it's a trinket and it's a Stage 1 Trinket.
3. Count all the spaces in between. This example has 5 spaces which means it's a travel with the name "xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx" (xxxx Stage 1).
4. Count and take out all the captial letters: "D M M C"
5. You are looking for a trinket travel that is "xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx" (Stage 1) containing the letters "D M M C" in ANY order.
6. Use "Ctrl + F" to find all the travels that is Stage 1 and quickly skim if any names contain those capital letters.

snowywinter • 1 October 2021 at 12:37 PM

@glaselkj stop asking for the answer. If someone were to tell you, it would be cheating.
Follow the guides to figure it out. It can be difficult, but it feels good when you find it.

glaselkj • 1 October 2021 at 12:46 PM

sorry im not very good at solving it myself

snowywinter • 1 October 2021 at 1:34 PM

@lykhaos117 I noticed just a bit ago that you added my list of mortal coves up top ^-^ TY...
I decided to add a note to the top of the profile. It turned out so well, I may just keep a variation there for the foreseeable future.

Heading to bed. Happy seed hunting everyone! ❤️

lykhaos117 • 1 October 2021 at 2:56 PM

My first monthly from the Cave this month has a star. 😱

@singasong99

Added! 😊 The Doovoo doesn’t seem to alternate for me. Sometimes it will give or take consecutively.

@snowywinter

You’re welcome. 😊 And I think the Corn Maze gives random items relating to Halloween or from the Halloween Fair prize pool. Items in your inventory should be safe. Happy seed hunting to you as well! 😊

@ravensong

I added the 2021 guide from @megadash! 😃 I’ll add the Egg Cavity one as well. Is it true the site hasn’t updated in a while though?

@cho

You’re welcome, and added the coves! I’ll add the guide, too. ❤️

tetra • 1 October 2021 at 3:27 PM

@lykhaos117
thank you very much for doing this. very helpful tips!!
and congrats on the star creature!

I have a feed-friendly cove, can feed all or just the quick feed list.
whatever you prefer 😃
I will feed back, just slowly but I'll always make sure to keep track of my notifications.

pinging other feed friendly coves:
@lady_dreamwyn
@shadowfaxe
@lexicon
@sulvas

lexicon • 1 October 2021 at 4:23 PM

@tetromino Thanks for the ping❤️

@lykhaos117 My whole cove is feed-friendly like @/tetromino said 😊. I'll do feedbacks as well, just post on my wall if you'd like one and I'll do my best!

ida92 • 1 October 2021 at 5:37 PM

@lykhaos117 my whole cove is feed friendly 😊 I rarely have time to feed back, but I sometimes find some at ghe weekends. 😊

singasong99 • 1 October 2021 at 10:27 PM

@lykhaos117 Whoa, lucky lucky! My first natural star was a Floicol.
The Doovoo always alternates for me.

I'm at my fourth Stargazing level. Gonna go to the 5th soon! No luck with the Travels of Terror yet though...

sulvas • 1 October 2021 at 10:47 PM

@lykhaos117 You can go ahead and add my feed friendly cove to the list it has 73 creatures or people can feed the 45 creature feed list. Thanks for making this post for everyone.

pet_cemetery • 1 October 2021 at 11:22 PM

@lykhaos117

@kaiserbakura and @nameless are both feed friendly.

Also any chance you could add https://eggcave.com/egg/2578272? This cove isn't feed friendly but my newest dragon could use a little love. I'm trying to hatch her.
