STEAL AN EGG / FIELD GUIDE

Steal An Egg Base Upgrades

Choose Steal An Egg base upgrades when they solve a visible capacity or collection problem. Read the current benefit and cost, then compare it with what a better retained pet or a safer egg run would add.

Match the upgrade to the bottleneck

A purchase should solve the problem you actually have.

  1. Inspect the current base or pen upgrade panel.
  2. Read the exact cost and benefit before spending.
  3. Check whether your next pet can contribute with your current capacity.
  4. Use the calculator to compare saving time and any additional income you can reasonably measure.

If your base is full

Compare the incoming pet with the one it would replace. More slots can matter, but a replacement can also raise income without assuming every new egg needs another slot.

If an upgrade does not raise income

Capacity is not itself a cash-income rate. Compare the usable lineup before and after the change. An additional slot only adds income when a pet actually contributes through it.

If the income increase is unknown, leave it unknown; do not enter zero to mean “not checked.” Use zero only when the comparison actually shows no increase. With a known positive increase, cash payback is purchase cost divided by that increase.

For example, replacing a pet earning 100 per second with one earning 150 adds 50 per second. At a hypothetical cost of 12,000, simple payback is 240 seconds if the increase lasts. These are arithmetic examples, not pet statistics or a shop price.

Use cash payback in the calculator. The comparison does not convert Speed, Robux, Boss Tokens or unknown capacity benefits into money automatically.

Keep a useful collection

Before giving pets to a Rift request, consider whether those are your current earners or your only copies. Completing an exchange can reduce the collection you were relying on.

THE SHORT ANSWERS

Good questions.

What should I upgrade first?

Choose the current bottleneck: failed returns suggest Speed work; inability to use another pet suggests inspecting capacity.

Where are fixed upgrade prices?

Read the live panel. No permanent price ladder is asserted here.

How do I calculate upgrade payback?

Use the purchase cost and a known positive increase in effective cash income. Unknown income produces no completed payback estimate; a measured zero increase produces no positive cash payback. Temporary increases must last long enough to cover the cost.

Are base upgrades the same as treadmill upgrades?

No. The official description names both systems. Read what each current option changes.
