My Trading advice
I tried posting this but Reddit deleted it not sure why but it’s my personal trading strategy in adopt me that has taken my inventory from around ~30 value to over 100 within this week alone!
I’m sure you’ve seen those posts about (Try this quick easy method to get rich in a day!) but then they never work?
Like spend hours everyday grinding for event pets only for them to get botted and become worthless?
Or how about those Korean servers full of rich players that love love love to overpay?
Unfortunately there is no quick answer in trading. But here are things that people avoid telling you for literally no reason:
You cannot sit in trading servers and do nothing. The amount of people I’ve seen who have “I don’t offer, YOU pick or I’ll decline” in their profile is just not it. It works of course if you’re already rich because people want what you have.
But if you’re just starting, the only pets you have are from January of this year to now you can’t afford to do that.
Trading is very scary, I have a lot of anxiety when trading I tend to hold my breath shouting in my head “JUST DECLINE ALREADY” waiting for the answer. It sounds dumb since it’s just a game but anxiety is very much real and can even affect things like this even if it doesn’t make sense to some people.
But even if you’re like me and trading is scary you have to be the one to reach out.
As an example let say you have 2 candicorns (20value points)
If you trade ONE of those candicorns for smaller pets you’ve already lost a huge opportunity.
The BEST adopt me trading strategy is
Upgrade, downgrade, upgrade.
Instead of letting people offer for one of your candicorns hoping for an op, YOU need to be the one to go find let’s say a flamingo (20points) and trade for that flamingo.
Every single flamingo you find, from a flamingo on a trade stand, or in someone profile you need to offer both candicorns over and over again until you find someone who does accept.
Now your goal is to downgrade that flamingo. Find GOOD pets not a bunch of tiny tiny randoms.
A bush elephant (15) a lemur (5) and always look for an add. Even if it’s as small as a shark (1 point).
Now hang onto that bush elephant since it’s the most valuable pet you got and focus on trading the lemur and shark (7 points together) for a Candicorn (10 points)
You will get rejected A LOT. But someone will do it if you try try try again.
Then finally maybe it took 8 hours but you have a Candicorn.
Now you have a bush elephant and a Candicorn worth (25) together. You’ve officially reached the mid tiers. Get a turtle (25) maybe a peppermint penguin or cabbit (both 26) and repeat the cycle of downgrading for 2 good pets with a tiny add then upgrade one of your good pets with the tiny add for a slight ovp and then trade both that new pet and the other one for an even better pet.
This process is slow but makes trading and getting offers even better and the best part is this strategy works for everyone. No matter what your inventory looks like.
All you need to know is values and I highly recommend learning about demand as well.
I believe in you!
