Steal an Egg Egg Guide: Rarity, Size, Routes, and Hatching
Learn how egg choice, route risk, biome, size, mutations, hatch timing, and return safety affect progression in Steal an Egg.
How should you choose an egg?
Evaluate five things before moving:
- Biome value: later areas generally offer a higher ceiling.
- Visible variation: unusual shell appearance may signal a mutation.
- Egg size: larger eggs can be more valuable but may make escape harder.
- Round-trip time: long travel increases the chance of being intercepted.
- Competition: a crowded nest can turn a good route into a bad expected return.
What happens after the steal?
Carry the egg to your base and place it into your hatch flow. When the pet appears, compare its actual income card rather than judging only by rarity. Size and mutation can change the final result.
Which eggs should beginners target?
Start with Forest and Lake eggs you can return reliably. Build income and speed before attempting distant high-value nests. When a new biome becomes reachable, test it with a conservative target before committing to its largest egg.
