New? User, looking for advice

[rainebats]

Hi! Once upon a time, I had an account here, but I forgot the info and I only had like 4 creatures so... That being said, I really don't know much about how things work here! I am curious about the best ways to earn gold so I actually have a chance at completing quests and maybe even buying some creatures off of users!
Any other advice would be welcome, and I'm always looking for people to talk to so don't be shy!
I also am curious how people obtain clicks on their eggs, I see forums for it but I'm not sure how helpful they are.

Hi, welcome! I can't really speak to best ways to earn gold right now, there's a bit of a shortage due to gold mining (clicking lots of adult creatures just to earn gold) being disallowed. Outside of that though, this is a good place to leave your eggs so they're clicked!

It's not automatic nor does it mean you're guaranteed clicks, but it does help. The forums do help too, we use them all the time.

Cheers, hope to see you around!

Due to intensive goldmining (opening hundreds or thousands of links on click sites, usually with automation) crashing the server, there have been changes around gold acquisition. You get 1 gold from eggs and hatchlings every 6 hours per unique creature, but none from adults. There are new methods of getting gold in the works, but we don't know what they are yet (there was a thread up for suggestions a couple months ago). The forums work very well. I find I get at least as many clicks from them as from the image-free nursery to grow my critters and I get a fair amount of gold per day from clicking.

Once you work your way through some of the quests, you'll be able to buy an item that gets you 5 gold per click, but it takes a bit of gold to get there. In the meantime we can look forward to perhaps daily rewards, perhaps minigames, etc etc to help us earn more gold. The next newsletter should be out mid-month.

That's too bad to hear that users were abusing clicksites and gold mining. I have gotten a few clicks here and there from the one forum click thread I posted in, still working on hatching my first five babies though. I also had a very generous user give me some of their unwanted adult pets through a thread, which don't earn gold but I love collecting.

The quests are pretty confusing for me right now, I'm accepting them but don't really know how to get a lot of the items/creatures they want yet... but I guess it's a learning curve

There's a quest guide here:

https://magistream.com/viewtopic.php?p= ... #p12744645

Most quests aren't too hard to get finished, though finishing them is never a requirement or anything. The post I linked tells you what you need and what the reward is for each of the currently available ones. (some are retired or were only active during events) Word of advice, any creatures you get from quests are typically rare or worth quite a bit of gold, because most quests you can only do once.

Also, people weren't misusing or abusing clicksites; getting gold from adult creatures and being able to goldmine was an intended part of the site. Unfortunately, gold mining simply had to be disallowed because the site can't handle that many links being opened by so many users in general/overall.

Anyway, the guide should help.

Ohhh, that makes more sense. I hope there's fixes with that soon!
Thanks for the guide

The Bestiary can also help with that (link on the second bar under the main navigation). It tells you which creatures can be caught in the Stream, which in tributaries (the yellow dots on the World map), which have to be bought in shops and which have to be bred from other creatures. It also gives you great information on how common the creature is, how many of each gender you have and the difficulty of breeding, along with the possible results. Best of luck.
