Official Scam Warning: No In-Game Trading Menu
Steal an Egg does NOT have a secure, two-sided trade window (no escrow system). When players claim to “trade,” they are asking you to use the one-way Gift / Give button. Once you give away a pet, there is no system guarantee that the other player will send their pet back.
5 Rules to Avoid Getting Scammed
- Never “Go First” with Strangers: Unofficial trade arrangements almost always result in the scammer immediately disconnecting or blocking you upon receiving your pet.
- Verify Exact Variant & Mutation Names: Scammers often disguise standard pets as Mutated or Spirit Bloom variants in chat. Always inspect the item tooltip in your inventory.
- Calculate Actual CPS Value: Do not trade an S-tier earner like Stag ($145M/s) for multiple low-tier pets that have lower combined CPS. Use our Pet Income Calculator to check numbers first.
- Watch Out for Third-Party “Middleman” Scams: Scammers will bring an accomplice posing as an “official trusted middleman.” There are no verified middlemen in Steal an Egg.
- Lock Your Top Pets in Inventory: Protect your Divine, Eternal, and Secret rolls from accidental gifting or misclicks.
Objective Pet Value Tiers (Based on Income & Utility)
Since no official stock market exists, community trade valuations are anchored directly to second-by-second cash output (CPS) and special utility passives:
Tier 0: God Tier (Billionaire Club)
Sub-0.08% drop ceiling. Never transfer via unverified gifting under any circumstances.
Tier 1: Ultra High Value (End-game Meta)
Core revenue generators for end-game players holding multi-million CPS.
Tier 2: High Utility & Mid-Endgame
Cranes and Oni Tigers trade on high utility rather than raw second-by-second income.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there an official trading system in Steal an Egg?
No. Steal an Egg does not have a dedicated two-sided trading window or escrow system. What players refer to as "trading" is actually the manual "Give" or item-drop feature, which is entirely one-sided and carries an extreme risk of scams.
How do players trade pets in Steal an Egg?
Players must manually use the in-game Gift/Give option to transfer pets one at a time. Because there is no simultaneous swap protection, you should only transfer pets to close, trusted friends.
What is the most valuable pet in Steal an Egg?
The Kitsune (Divine tier, $1.8 Billion/s base income) and Unicorn (Divine tier, $1.0 Billion/s) are the most valuable pets in the game, followed by the Secret Stag ($145 Million/s) and the Eternal Lunar Dragon ($35 Million/s).
How do mutations affect pet trading value?
Mutations multiply value dramatically: a Spirit Bloom mutated pet generates up to 6x normal income, making a Spirit Bloom Stag or Oni Tiger significantly more valuable than multiple unmutated legendaries.
