Trading lets you swap pets and items without gambling on eggs. But trade chat is also where most of the game's scams live. Get your valuation right, learn the interface, and don't let anyone rush you into a bad deal.
A pet's value depends on rarity, level, enchants, and what people want right now. Check recent trades for the same pet before listing yours — guessing usually means underselling. High-level pets with good enchants trade above baseline because they save the buyer days of grinding. Event-limited pets that aren't obtainable anymore? Those hold the most long-term value.
Never trade outside the in-game interface. Anyone who says "send first, I'll pay after" or wants a third-party middleman is running a scam. Official trades swap both sides simultaneously. Screenshot every completed trade and keep it until your next session.
New to trading? Start with low-value pets. Make a few small swaps before attempting anything big. You want to know the trade window cold — both sides, check everything, hit confirm — before you risk a good pet. Losing a common to a mistake is a cheap lesson. Losing a Legendary hurts.
The best traders don't spam trade chat. They build a circle of 10-20 regular partners through Discord and in-game groups. A network moves pets faster, gets you better rates (regulars give discounts), and you hear about value changes before the open market catches up. Join a trading Discord, introduce yourself, make a few fair swaps, then ask for bigger deals.
