FIRST STEPS
Ride A Pet beginner guide
Start with the basics, then let each new hatch guide your next run.
Explore and find eggs
The developer describes egg discovery as the first step. Pick a short route you can recognize and return to. Note the names you actually see rather than relying on an old spawn list.
Hatch and compare
The next step is hatching pets, with rarer and faster pets helping you seek rarer eggs. When you compare two mounts, use the same displayed stat, equipment and active effects.
Ride a route you can repeat
Time the same short route on each mount. A practical comparison includes both travel time and how easily you can reach the places you visit.
Check mutations in your game
The official description says mutations can make pets faster. Read the current in-game effect before changing a pet; this guide does not assume a multiplier or cost.
