❓Shop & Economy FAQ
Should I save rubies or spend them immediately?
Save until you have 300-800💎 for an Epic or Legendary lasso. Don't waste on Basic/Rare lassos or cosmetics early game. Lasso upgrades provide exponential value.
What's the fastest way to earn coins?
Catch and sell Epic/Legendary animals from Ocean biome. A single Whale sells for $8,000. Combine with tourist income optimization for 10,000+ coins per hour.
Is Desert biome worth 100,000 coins?
Yes, but only for endgame players. Phoenix alone is worth 20,000+ coins, and Desert has the rarest mutations. Unlock Ocean and Jungle first for better progression value.
Should I buy food or catch more animals?
Early game: Catch more animals for variety and tourist income. Mid-late game: Buy premium food for your Legendary animals to boost mutations and sell value.
Can I trade currencies between players?
No, all currencies are account-bound. However, you can gift animals to friends, which indirectly transfers value.
