Age Progression
Important: Pets must maintain their hunger above 0 to gain XP and age. Some pets like Starfish have passive abilities that allow them to gain XP differently.
Pet Age & XP Management Tips
Experience Requirements Scale Exponentially
Higher levels require dramatically more experience. Focus on efficient XP farming methods and consider which pets are worth the investment to max level.
Boost Optimization Strategy
Use owls, mice, and starfish strategically. Multiple owls stack additively, while percentage bonuses multiply. Plan your boost combinations for maximum efficiency.
Leveling Strategy Planning
Early levels (1-20) are cheap and should be prioritized first. High levels (80+) require massive XP investments - reserve these for your best classified pets only.
Hunger Management is Critical
Pets must maintain hunger above 0 to gain XP and age. Always keep food available or your pet will stop leveling, except for special pets like Starfish with passive XP gain.
XP Efficiency Planning
Level 50 is often a good stopping point for most pets (922,398 total XP). Use the calculator to compare XP costs vs. weight/ability gains before heavy investment.
Time Estimation Accuracy
The calculator provides realistic time estimates based on your XP rate. Consider your playtime and boost availability when planning long-term pet development.
Resource Allocation Strategy
Balance XP investment across multiple pets vs. maxing one pet. Consider your pet's hatch weight classification before heavy XP investment - higher classifications provide better returns.
