Is it possible to send someone an egg through Trade?

Post by Reinbeauchaser »

I would like to send someone an egg through Trade, but when I went to that feature, the egg doesn't show up. Are there restrictions on certain type of eggs, such as those found in the specialty shops and donations, or is it only hatchlings that are tradable/sendable? I did notice that my hatchlings appear as possible gifts, so it makes me think that only hatchlings are eligible. Thanks for considering a reply. :D

Unless a gifting event is happening, only frozen eggs can be traded.

Thank-you for your answer, but it does create another question. How do people trade gold for eggs? I've read where someone said they were presently out of gold, otherwise they would offer gold for a particular egg.

Buying and selling is also a type of trade. If you start a new trade you should see a text box where you can type in a gold amount. It's located below the creature view panel and just above the comment text box; it says Gold: to the left of the box.

So basically if you're buying a frozen egg, you type in a gold amount.. adding a note is optional, but it's usually a good idea to type in what the transaction is for; as in, sending gold to buy the ____ egg. Then click Save Changes, then click Confirm Offer, then wait for the other party to send you the frozen egg. Once you get the offer, you confirm the trade again and the frozen egg will show up in your main Keep.

Normal trades work pretty much the same way, you add the creatures you're trading, the other player sends the creatures they are trading, you both confirm things and the creatures change Keeps. It's pretty simple once you do it a few times.

Thanks! Is there a way to do a one-way trade, where I don't get anything in return?

Yup, basically the same way as any other trade. The other person just doesn't put any gold/creatures in their side of the trade and just hits 'confirm' on their end of things and then the trade proceeds as normal.

So, Person A puts the gold/creatures in the trade, saves and confirms and sends.
Person B gets the trade, hits confirm without putting anything in.
Person A gets the trade back, reviews that both sides are correct (stuff on one side nothing on the other), hits confirm to finish the trade as per usual, sending the creatures to Person B.

Just to make it more crystal clear for you - the ability to trade live eggs has never ever ever happened and never will as I understand it.

The only way to gift someone a live egg is through the gifting feature during a special event that this feature is turned on for. Otherwise you will not see the option to do this.

When you do a gifting event and you give out presents, such as a live egg, you have a limit of 3 eggs/or live hatchlings per person. You can only gift live eggs and live hatchlings. If during a gifting event you want to gift someone frozen creatures, frozen eggs or adult creatures you must do it through a normal trade.

Trading frozen eggs works the same as trading creatures for gold, creatures or even nothing in return.

I hatched the egg and then sent it that way. Thanks for the info on egg-gifting. <3
