Hello! Iʻm Ser! I’ve been playing for a couple of days now, and mostly relying on the ʻfree petsʻ to amass my collection (I wanna get one of every pet eventually!)
I wanted to begin trading properly (as in, I offer something in exchange for someone elseʻs things), so I was wondering if anyone had any advice for someone just starting to trade!
Additionally, I heard of paperclip trading, and wanted to know if there was any advice for someone wanting to try one! I know some users get annoyed with it, so is there an acceptable way to make it clear that Iʻm doing a paperclip trade?
Iʻve also checked the in-depth wiki and wanted to ask some questions on that.
Since Iʻm aiming for every pet, that would make me a ʻtrading for collectionʻ user, right? Should I put that somewhere on my trading post so people know my wishlist pets arenʻt necessarily my favorites?
Is the three-month rule applicable to newer pets? For example, 2021-2022 pets within three months of each other, or do people tend to not care as much about the three month rule with newer pets?
Finally, what is ʻfoedʻ? Iʻve seen it mentioned a couple times and I know itʻs bad, but what exactly is it?
TLDR:
1) Any advice for a newbie trader?
2) Any advice for paperclip traders, such as how to make it clear which trades are a paperclip trade?
3) Should I make it clear that Iʻm a trading for collection player, so people know that my wishlist may not represent my favorite pets?
4) Is the three-month rule mainly for older/rarer pets, or does it apply to newer ones too? Ex. A 2022 Rare Jan cat and a 2022 Rare May cat are outside the 3-month rule, would I expect to see issues trying to trade?
5) What is ʻgetting foedʻ?
