Money Making Guide — Pet Income, Offline Earnings & Upgrades
Pets are the money engine of Steal An Egg: every hatched pet earns passively, income scales hard with rarity and size, and it keeps flowing while you’re offline. Here’s how to compound it.
How pet income works
- Every hatched pet generates income per second ($/s).
- Rarity drives income tiers — community trading posts show the scale: mid-tier pets around hundreds of millions $/s, top Eternal and Secret variants in the billions.
- Size matters — egg weight appears to set pet size, and bigger pets earn more. A Golden Ice Dragon with 1.9M+ kg weight was offered at 4B $/s.
- Variants stack value — Golden and Titan variants trade at large premiums over base versions.
The exact income formulas are not officially published; the numbers above are community trading observations from the official Discord (Aug 2026).
The offline advantage
Two offline mechanics make Steal An Egg unusually friendly to casual play:
- Eggs keep hatching while you’re logged out (official game description).
- Pets keep earning while you’re offline.
Practical routine: fill your pen with your best steals before logging off; collect and re-invest in the morning.
Where to invest
Priority order for most players:
- Treadmill upgrades — Speed gates biomes, and biomes gate egg quality. Compounding.
- Base upgrades — bigger pen, more eggs, more parallel hatches.
- More pets — income compounds with pen size.
- X2 MONEY! gamepass (399 Robux) — straight 2x income multiplier if you’re spending. See the gamepasses page for the official wording and caveats.
Farming routine that works
- Log in, collect overnight income, hatch overnight eggs.
- Check the rare egg timer — be near the spawn for the five-minute windows.
- Raid one or two player bases if their owners are training (see how to steal).
- Spend a training block on the treadmill.
- Refill the pen before logging out.
Money milestones (rough community-placed values)
| Milestone | Rough scale |
|---|---|
| First Forest pen | Thousands $/s |
