The new OMG so rares are interesting, almost all monthly releases through Sept 08 are now in that category. Very eager to see how this impacts trading, especially the 'rares list'!

there will undoubtedly be users pitching in to make new guides and give advice! ^^ the CS community is really good about covering bases in regards to guides & newbie help. but give folks some time because it can take effort to structure a good, comprehensive guide.


Okay, thank you for so much for letting me know. I just got the hang of the old Rarities to now experience new Rarities and I get overwhelmed and overstimulated easily. I haven't really done an actual trade yet but I'm probably gonna wait until new updated guides come out before trying trading. I'm now also experiencing the very very small font for the new Rarities update and I'm pretty blind. I'm hoping I can just try and remember the Rarities by color, but I have difficulties with colors as I'm color blind to some colors lol

The colored stars option might work better for you, you can change it from the "Change pet display settings" link under any pet group ^^ That way you can count how many stars a pet is worth.

On a trading note - everyone is going to be overwhelmed, its gonna take a bit for the community to sort things out so i'd hold on a few weeks atleast to see how everything shakes out. You are far from alone in your confusion!

{I just want to say I absolutely adore how the new rarity bars look, I switched to the stars right away! I'm not looking forward to reworking pricing for my trade group, but I think overall this should be a really helpful update and I hope it'll balance out the trade economy in time.}

Thank you Larkspur. I get the community will be overwhelmed for awhile until things get situated again. Also, thank you for your advice for the stars, I'm probably gonna use that idea because I have my phone all the way up to my nose when I was trying to read the rarities. I thought one of my pets turned omg so rare but it was the system update. 😅

I have pet litters I’ve collected that used to be all uncommon, that are now mixes of uncommons, rares, and very rares. 🤯 this is amazing! the extra specificity makes such a huge difference and even though I know this will shake up trading significantly for a while, once the dust settles, there will be so much less guesswork to do on pet values. this is such a great informative update. thank you staff!
