Feeding other players' pets! Just visit a player's profile and look for the text "feed friendly". This means that you can feed all of their creatures. Otherwise, some players have a feed list -- a special section of their cove (list of creatures) that are okay to feed. Click on a creature and press the "Feed Creature" button to make money.

To make it easier, check out the recent posts on this topic for feed friendly accounts. You will make around 100 EC more or less per creature fed. 😊

Ooh like the white bar next to the lizard icon isn't filled to be green? And it still says 0/1? If you did submit a number guess for the Wall, you should submit a ticket as there may have been a glitch. The white bar should turn to green and have a check mark by it.

Another way is to put EC in the Strongroom & collect interest once a day.

1. Always sell Limited Edition pets on their release day for 50CC or 500k EC. (These days it appears CC sells higher than the conversion rate. If you get 50CC you can likely obtain 600k-700k EC)

2. Always sell Release Week creatures (held in January) on their day of release if you are lucky enough to pull them, you can likely obtain around 100cc-200cc for them. (they will lose value as the days progress)

3. Names! Real-life names and words! You can easily amass a decent amount of EC by spending a couple of minutes browsing the Search area for words that come to mind. You can then hold name auctions in the forums, that is how I built my cove up before I stopped selling names. (probably the fastest way to acquire quick EC or CC)

4. Buy 500CC creatures and wait about 2 years and to try and sell them for double the profit. Then use that 1000cc to buy 2 more CC creatures, wait until those become 1000cc then sell both of them for 2k cc and keep up the process. That is another way that I built my cove up. (you just have to try your best not to get attached to the creatures)

5. Buying a Leaf of Vaka is useful in Saving EC, you will not have to use Tim's Food. And you do not have to worry about having to dump 200cc per revival of favored/valuable creatures if any die from starvation.

6. I would refrain from buying from the Thief Shop. Thief shop creatures are hard to sell off (in my opinion), and not really worth dumping the EC into it since you are not guaranteed anything in return. If you like a thief shop creature, it is easier and saves more EC to purchase it from a player.

7. I am unsure if immortalizing user shops is still a thing or if they are still allowed on EggCave. I do not keep track of the forums much anymore. But using a traffic exchange service and selling your services to immortalize creatures can help you obtain EC as well. (but you will need unlimited internet for this, as you will have to let it run overnight or for a few days)

Hope this all makes sense, wrote this quickly.
