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.
