Estfor kingdom turns incubated eggs into pets that support combat
Estfor kingdom is an idle RPG where players incubate and upgrade eggs, then hatch pets that support their heroes in combat. Egg quality influences the strength of a pet's bonuses, while its species determines the skills it boosts. Choosing an egg and choosing a combat companion therefore involve different decisions.
Last updatedEgg quality and pet identity affect different attributes
The egg's tier
Upgrading an egg changes the quality tier that influences its eventual pet's effectiveness.
The pet's species
Each pet species boosts a consistent set of combat skills. Compare the pet's boosted skills and bonus strength with the hero's intended combat activity.
Should you upgrade an egg or choose a hatched pet?
Upgrade an egg when you want to improve its potential bonus strength; consider a hatched pet when you want to inspect a particular companion.
| Choice | What the choice provides |
|---|---|
| Upgrade an egg | Improves the egg's quality before hatching. |
| Hatch an egg | Produces a pet with combat bonuses. |
| Acquire a hatched pet | Allows selection of an existing pet through a sale or trade. |
| Keep an existing pet | Retains that companion within the owner's collection. |
| Egg preparation changes potential; an existing pet has an individual identity and attributes. | |
Incubation prepares an egg before hatching
To upgrade an egg you own, first obtain the alchemical ingredients required for its incubation. Use those inputs to incubate the egg, then check the resulting egg's tier before hatching it. Hatching produces the pet; an upgraded egg alone is not a combat companion.
An egg still undergoing preparation cannot serve as the finished companion for an imminent battle.
How can you tell whether hatching produced a pet?
A resulting pet has its own recorded identity and individual details, which distinguish it from the egg or action record. The game maintains separate records for base pet types, individual pets, and queued actions.
Action information
An action record describes the operation. Its existence alone does not establish ownership of a particular pet. Likewise, an activity journal can take time to load, so an empty journal view does not by itself prove failure.
Individual pet information
Check that hatching added a new pet to the owner's collection, then match its identity with its individual pet record before treating the hatch as complete. This separates the pet itself from the general description of its type.
Combat suitability begins with the boosted skill
A pet's usefulness follows the combat skills it supports. A powerful bonus for a different skill does not answer the same need. Equipment and the hero's chosen combat activity remain relevant when deciding which companion fits.
Pets accompany heroes in battle, while heroes develop physical, ranged, and magical combat abilities. Keep the intended activity in view when examining a pet's attributes; appearance alone does not describe its combat contribution.
Can you obtain a pet without hatching your own egg?
Yes, pets support trading and sale, so an existing companion provides another acquisition path. Pet listings identify individual creatures rather than unhatched possibilities.
The game records marketplace listings separately from individual pet details. A listing describes an offer; the pet record describes the creature. Keep those identities aligned when comparing an offer with the companion you intend to acquire.
Estfor kingdom FAQs
Does incubating an egg stop ordinary skill training?
Passive egg incubation does not prevent a player from queuing ordinary daily actions. The passive system operates separately, allowing egg preparation alongside the hero's normal activities.
