Hopefully the Common Cerapicta is actually "common" for awhile as I've poured hundreds of thousands of gold coins into that pond over the years and still do not have everything that can be found there. And some I have are from the generosity of others during gifting seasons.
I get that it's a gold sink. I get that it is suppose to be hard to get eggs from there.
But during release times, they should flood the pond. Give people hope and maybe more people would use the damn the thing.

Last year all the Decessus were named after Haunted Chateaus. This year; Lost Media.
Personlly, I'd prefer a Pond SHOP.. the pond as it is, is a gamble.. and I do not like to gamble. If I'm going to spend money.. which I will if I want/need something.. but I'd prefer a sure thing.
I got my 2 common eggs from the pond, but believe me, I will not be getting more than the one pair. Fortunately, they didn't gender wrong, so I didn't have to use a potion.
Wishlist | Lineage Freebies
I collect any/all unicorns and lineage creatures Newest Lineage - Wyld Wyverns
If you no longer want your lineage progenitors, I'd love to adopt them
If you have a lineage that I don't have a member of, I'd love to have one, PM me
Doing the math, it looks like I spent 495 gold to get three Common Cerapicta eggs using the 15 gold option, getting a Dragon Koi, Charaen, and Aurean Globefish (all frozen to free up space) in the process... I suppose I've had worse odds.
~Mostly looking for shop (especially Water and Herbal), quest, event, and hybrid creatures. Details in my wishlist (updated 05/17/2024), please and thank you~

THIS!!!!!!!!!!!

Edit: Finally got my 2 and that's all the gold I will waste on the pond. Thankfully, I did get another fish I've never been able to get before...but only one...
The Pond has been as it has been... a game of chance. People think they're doing a gamble when they toss their gold into it. It's not tying you to the waters; it is simply a game of chance. True, those of MS could have put the egg into the stream, but as it is a permanent creature, I'd rather take a chance to see what I get. I got 1 common while the other two were a goldfish and a lunar koi. I think I got the koi on a 40g toss, then the common when I switched back to the 15g toss.

direcores, capricorns, jackalopes,
Vahti, Wallatrice
All khirin, event pets, shop pets and past donis
Big need: All Event pets, Wugu Amagnae, Tidal WraithHoarding:00/25 gifts
As a newer player, I don't have a lot of gold to throw into the pond (13.5k or so). I've put gold in there at least 50 times in the past month and gotten nothing. Not one single egg. How are you guys getting anything? Do I just have rotten luck? Or is there a threshold of money you have to chuck in before you have a chance at an egg?
My join date says 2012, when I made an account I promptly forgot about until August 2023, so I'm really *gasp* a newbie.
I have no phobias or disliked critters. Feel free to click anything in my keep, except the "Quests" tab. I think you'll find plenty there without those 2 or 3.

I was like that and sometimes still am. It's just a game of chance or luck of the draw (toss). I don't frequent the pond as it is a money sink, but it is kind of fun to toss and see what I get. Sometimes I toss up to about 13 times, other times it's like 5. I quickly get bored of tossing and wondering what I get. It is fun, though.

Adult common cerapicta spend a good part of their time tending for their young, providing them with food or hunting for brightly colored things like themselves. The common cerapicta mate for life and the constant need to build different shelters or sandcastles together is what keeps them interested in each other. Masters of water manipulation the common cerapicta will change the flow of water when hunting for parasites that hide in the sand. They also use this technique to move around rubble or to disturb the fish swimming nearby, changing their trajectory completely, spinning, and disorienting them. Common cerapicta prefer to stick to their kind, but this does not stop them from competing with the other creatures living in the pond. They hoard the gold that is thrown into the pond and have the habit of stealing it from other creatures when they do not pay attention simply for decorating their sandcastles.

My about me is still pretty accurate as far as wishlists go, but here is my wishlist of what individual creatures I’m currently prioritizing most/other specifics!
For especially those who have been longer with the site, and are used to the Koi Pond being very stingy with eggs, to the point of frustration and giving up: With the release of the Common Cerapicta the drop rates of the Pond were tweaked so that getting eggs from the Pond is much more likely than before. These new drop rates are permanent, so while there is still an element of randomness in whether you get something from the Pond or not, the odds are far more favorable.
We (the team) have also had plans for adjusting the mechanics and game play of the Koi Pond for quite some time already, and most likely those changes will go live some time during next year.
