Steal An Egg Beginner Guide: Your First Hour, Egg by Egg

Steal An Egg is one loop repeated thirteen times: steal an egg from a nest, outrun the guardian, hatch it in your pen, spend the cash on Speed, unlock the next biome. The first hour decides how fast the rest goes, because two things you can do in the first ten minutes (the free Speed gift and two cheap trails) are worth more than an hour of treadmill walking.

This page is the opening route with the real numbers for Forest and Lake, the two biomes you will actually see today.

The loop, in six steps

1. Walk to a nest in a biome and pick up an egg.
2. The guardian wakes up. Run back to your pen before it catches you.
3. The egg grows in your pen for a set time, then hatches.
4. The hatch pays a one-time Speed and cash reward, and the pet then earns $/s forever.
5. Spend cash on treadmills (Speed per step) and trails (a multiplier on each step).
6. Hit the next biome’s Speed requirement and repeat with better eggs.

Everything else, mutations, fusion, mounts, events, is a modifier on that loop. If you are new, ignore all of it for now.

Do this before your first egg

Like the game, favorite it, and join the developer’s Roblox group. Together those three give 10,000 Speed, which is more than Lake needs (900) and enough to meet Desert’s listed 10K. No code exists for this game, so it is the single biggest free boost available. Details in Steal An Egg codes.

Then walk onto the free treadmill once to see how Speed per step works. Base is +2 per step. A trail multiplies that number, which is why the cheapest trail in the game ($100) is also one of the best purchases you will ever make.

Forest: all eight eggs

Forest has no Speed requirement and a Chicken as its guardian. The cash reward on each egg equals 100 seconds of that pet’s income, so the reward and the income rise together.

Two things to notice. First, the Legendary makes 1,800x what the Chicken makes, so a single Brr Brr Patapim is worth more than a pen full of Commons. Second, the fast eggs are not wasted: a Chicken pays +420 Speed in 10 seconds, which is 210 treadmill steps on the base treadmill.

The practical opening: keep one fast egg cycling for Speed and save your other pen slots for the best egg you can carry.

Lake: all eight eggs

Lake needs 900 Speed, which the free gift covers. The jump in rewards is immediate, and the Frog is the best early Speed engine in the game: +2K Speed every 15 seconds.

The Leviathan is the prize: $220K/s is almost 80 times the Axolotl, and 122,000 times the Chicken. It is also the heaviest egg in the biome at 5,000 kg base weight, and heavy eggs slow you down while you carry them. If you grab one, take the long way home and avoid the guardian’s patrol line rather than sprinting past it.

What to buy first, in order

A single Fox hatch ($18K) pays for the Sci-Fi Treadmill outright. A single Axolotl hatch ($280K) pays for the Flame Treadmill. That is the pattern for the whole game: new biome, cheap egg, better treadmill.

Do not buy pen upgrades until the cheap trails are done. The first pen upgrade is cheap, but a trail multiplies every step you will ever take, and a pen slot only pays what one pet earns.

How stealing actually works

• Nests reset about every 5 minutes. If someone takes the egg you wanted, wait for the reset instead of following them.
• Size beats color. Egg color is cosmetic. Egg size changes the pet’s weight, and weight multiplies income, which is why a big plain egg beats a small Rainbow one.
• Bear traps are your only defence. You can place up to 3, only while holding an egg, and they hold a player for 7 seconds. They cannot go in the safe zone.
• You cannot outrun a guardian by walking. Treadmill and trail upgrades are the only thing that raises your escape speed, so the guardian check is really a Speed check.
• Servers hold 7 players. Sorting the server list by fewest players means fewer people competing for the same nests.

Mistakes that cost new players an hour

1. Standing on the treadmill first. Egg rewards beat walking until roughly the Volcano stage. Hatch, do not walk.
2. Chasing a Rainbow. A pet at 10x base weight earns about 4.14x, more than a normal-weight Rainbow at 3.5x. Grab the biggest egg.
3. Selling or trading your fastest egg. The Frog and the Chicken are Speed machines even when their income looks like nothing.
4. Buying Robux Speed packs before the trails. X2 MONEY! is 399 Robux and X2 Growth Speed! is 467 Robux; both are permanent multipliers on everything, and neither is needed to progress.
5. Leaving a pen slot empty. An empty slot pays nothing. Fill every slot, even with junk, until something better hatches.

Your first-hour checklist

• Like, favorite, join the group: +10,000 Speed
• Steal a Chicken, hatch it, watch the +420 Speed land
• Buy the Grey Trail ($100) and the Green Trail ($5K)
• Buy the Sci-Fi Treadmill ($15K) from the Fox reward
• Move to Lake (900 Speed), steal a Frog, keep it cycling
• Steal an Axolotl, then push for a Leviathan
• Reach Desert (10K Speed)

Where to go next

• Speed guide: every treadmill and trail with a calculator for steps to your next biome.
• How to make money fast: the spending order after the first hour.
• Mutations: what the Silver, Golden and Rainbow rolls are worth.
• Best pets: what to keep as your pen fills up.
• Events schedule: the 30-minute bosses that pay Boss Tokens and Samples.
