Stealing Guide
Plan the run, grab the egg, survive the chase, and get back to your garden before a guard or another player drops it.

Grabbing the egg is the easy part. Getting it back to your garden is where Speed and route knowledge matter. Guards chase, big eggs slow you down, and other players can bat you to drop what you are carrying.
If return trips keep failing, raise Speed on the treadmill and trails before you target the next biome. Free traps from Pet Index help here.
Steal flow
- Scout the nest. From base, note the guardian, distance, and your return path. Sleeping guards (common in Lake) let you grab eggs without a chase. Wait for the wake-up timing if you need a clean exit.
- Measure one-way time. Run to the nest once without stealing. Add extra seconds for grab animation, weight slowdown on large eggs, and a trap placement if you expect a chase.
- Check the reset timer. Map eggs refresh on a timer. Nightfall can wipe all field eggs at once. Camp the reset if you are hunting a rare spawn, or server hop to a quieter lobby when competition is thick.
- Take the egg and move. Pick up the egg and start your return immediately. Do not stop to fight unless you are sure you can still make it. Dropped eggs go back to the nest or to whoever picks them up.
- Use traps and the bat. Drop a trap behind you when a guard or player is closing in. The bat lets you hit other carriers, and the same rule applies to you. Traps from Index rewards are limited, so save them for choke points.
- Deliver to the garden. The steal only counts when the egg lands in your base garden. Hatch it there or hold it for a timed skip. Either way, make sure you have a free pen slot if you expect a new pet.
Timing and targets
- Rare egg cadence. High-value eggs tend to appear on a roughly five-minute rhythm across the map. Use a local timer from the last reset you saw. Exact server sync is not shown in the UI.
- Golden eggs. Lake spawns golden eggs that hatch into strong early pets. Treat them like any other steal: confirm your Speed covers the round trip.
- Egg weight. Larger eggs apply a movement penalty while you carry them. A Secret-sized egg from Volcano or Cosmic needs more buffer than a Forest common.
- Server hop. Seven players per server means crowded Cosmic camps. Hop servers to find fewer rivals when you are timing a reset spawn.
- Night reset. When day turns to night, field eggs can reset entirely. Plan steals before the swap or be ready to sprint right after fresh spawns.
Guardians by biome
Recommended Speed for each zone is on the speed guide.
| Biome | Guard | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Forest | Chicken | Slow chase; good for learning traps |
| Lake | Chicken / duck | Duck pursuit is very fast; chickens can sleep |
| Desert | Scorpion | Mid-game income eggs; gate around 10K Speed |
| Jungle | Tiger | Longer chases; upgrade trails first |
| Snow | Polar predators | Many eggs have multi-minute hatch times |
| Volcano | Burning zone | High income pets; heavy eggs |
| Abyss Ocean | Whale area | Gate near 2.5M Speed |
| Prehistoric | Dinosaur line | Ankylosaurus and mammoth-tier hauls |
| Cosmic | Boss zone | Endgame secrets; gate near 700M Speed |
FAQ
Can other players steal from me?
Yes. The official description says other players can hit you and take the egg you are carrying. Once you leave the early biomes, treat every return trip as PvP.
What happens if a guard catches me?
You lose the egg you were holding and have to wait for the next reset or try again. Traps and Speed are how you avoid that tax.
Should I steal from other players' bases?
Player-base steals become relevant later. Focus on map guardians until your Speed and pen income are stable, since map eggs are safer to practice on.
How many traps can I carry?
Inventory holds a small number of traps at once. Spend Index rewards before a planned rare run so you have slots free.
