Breed, don't buy, for passives

Buying a Pal never guarantees passives. For a specific passive set, breeding at /breeding is cheaper and more reliable.

Buy for work, not combat

The best value purchases are high-suitability base workers you would otherwise spend an hour catching.

Lucky Pals are a coin flip

A Lucky Pal is a stat and shine bonus, not a different species — worth it for collectors, rarely worth the Gold for combat.

Sell in bulk

One trip with twenty bred Pals pays for the next purchase. Keep a Breeding Farm queued.

Heat resistance

Duneshelter is desert; without Heat Resistance armour the trip costs more in potions than the trade is worth.
