Collect All Pets! starts in a small area. The official description says you hatch eggs, fuse pets, unlock areas, finish quests, and earn badges, and that there are over 200 unique pets. Servers hold 12 players.
Do this first
- Join the official place and wait until the HUD is visible.
- Hatch the egg the Meadow panel offers. A 2024 walkthrough says the interaction is E, with an auto-hatch option. Confirm the prompt on your screen.
- Equip the pet. Equipped pets break crystals. Ordinary crystals pay gold and drops. Exotic crystals pay more, and pets prioritize them once that system is unlocked.
- Read the pet's speed, attack rate, and damage. Community base damage starts at 10 for Common and rises by rarity. Those numbers are a community chart, not a line in the official description.
Where the first gold goes
Buy the magnet before you sink gold into the most expensive egg you can see. A longer magnet pickup range is what makes standing in a crystal cluster worth more. Pet slots are the next purchase, because more equipped pets break more crystals. Speed, damage, and hatch upgrades come after you can already farm the area you are standing in.
The newest zone is not automatically the best farm. If the sign's requirement is above your Pet Score or Shiny Score, stay in the area you can already clear and fill the egg that area stocks.
What to ignore on day one
Do not fuse away your only copy of a pet just to see the animation. The live fusion preview is the authority on how many copies it wants. Do not redeem every two-hour code boost at once. Use one boost while you are actually hatching. Do not treat a catalog player count or the visit total as the number of people in your server.
When the Meadow loop feels stable, open the eggs guide for the price ladder and the zones page for the gates. Both are community figures. The sign in front of you wins.
