Adopt Me has introduced a major change to the Star Rewards system, along with new eggs, rewards, and a brand-new legendary pet. One of the most interesting additions is the Royal Fairy Tale Egg, which offers better chances of getting rare pets.
The new system also introduces Star Reward Coins, giving players another reason to log in regularly. If you want the Royal Fairy Tale Egg or the new Gemstone Egg, here is how the updated system works.
How to Get Star Reward Coins
The new Star Rewards system uses a special currency called Star Reward Coins. You can earn one coin whenever you log in for a day.
You do not need to log in every day without missing a day. The coins are based on the number of days you actually log in, so missing several days will not reset the coins you have already earned.
For example, if you log in today, miss three days, and then return, you will have earned coins from your two login days.
How Many Coins Do You Need?
Different rewards require different amounts of Star Reward Coins. The most important items require you to save your coins instead of spending them on smaller rewards. Some of the available rewards include:
- Hyper Speed Potion — 1 coin
- Small Gift — 1 coin
- Temporary Auras — 1 coin
- Small Sip Potion — 2 coins
- Big Sip Potion — 3 coins
- Build Limit Increase — 5 coins
- Streak Saver — 5 coins
- Massive Gifts — 10 coins
- Royal Egg — 14 coins
- 2x Pet Aging and 2x Bucks — 20 coins
- Gemstone Egg — 28 coins
The exact value of each reward should be considered before spending your coins, especially if your main goal is getting one of the special eggs.
Save Five Coins for the Build Limit Increase
One of the most useful rewards is the Build Limit Increase. It costs only five Star Reward Coins and adds 500 more furniture slots to your house.
The normal house build limit starts at 4,000 placed items. For players who enjoy detailed builds, that limit can be reached surprisingly quickly.
The extra 500 slots can therefore be very useful for builders. If you regularly create large or complicated houses, this reward may be a better investment than some of the smaller cosmetic items.
What Are Temporary Auras?
Temporary Auras are cosmetic effects that can be placed on your pet. They cost only one Star Reward Coin, making them easy to obtain even if you have only logged in for a single day.
Some of the showcased effects include a Confetti Aura, Dance Party Aura, and Sparkler Aura. The Dance Party effect can make your pet look like a small disco ball, while the others add different visual effects.
The exact duration of these temporary effects was not confirmed in the information provided, so it is better not to assume a specific duration until Adopt Me officially confirms it.
Should You Buy Streak Savers?
Streak Savers cost five Star Reward Coins and can protect your login streak if you miss a day.
You can stack multiple Streak Savers, which means they can be useful if you know you will be away from the game for several days. However, your login streak is mainly a cosmetic or personal milestone and does not appear to provide major gameplay benefits.
Because of this, saving your coins for an egg or useful upgrade may be a better choice for most players.
How to Get the Royal Fairy Tale Egg
The Royal Fairy Tale Egg is one of the main rewards players can work toward through the new Star Rewards system.
Royal eggs are special because they have better chances of producing rare pets. Royal Eggs also remove the possibility of receiving Common and Uncommon pets, making them much more valuable for players looking for higher rarities.
The Royal Fairy Tale Egg costs 14 Star Reward Coins, meaning you need to log in for 14 days to earn enough coins if you spend nothing along the way.
Once you have enough coins, save them until the Royal Fairy Tale Egg is available as the reward you want, then purchase it through the Star Rewards system.
Should You Hatch the Royal Fairy Tale Egg?
Whether you should hatch the Royal Fairy Tale Egg or trade it depends on your goal.
If you are collecting pets, opening the egg can be exciting because the Royal version gives you better chances at higher rarities. However, the egg itself could also become desirable to collectors because players need to spend multiple days logging in to obtain it.
If the egg becomes difficult to obtain later, trading it could potentially be more useful than immediately hatching it. This will ultimately depend on how players value the egg after the update has been available for a while.
How to Get the Gemstone Egg
The Gemstone Egg is another major reward in the revamped Star Rewards system. It costs 28 Star Reward Coins, so you need 28 login days to obtain one if you do not spend your coins on other rewards.
The egg can contain several pets associated with the Star Rewards system, including pets such as the Ginger Cat, Starfish, Orca, Golden pets, and Diamond pets.
The Diamond Unicorn is no longer part of the Star Rewards selection, but it can still be obtained from a Diamond Egg that was already obtained.
The New Amethyst Penguin
The biggest prize from the Gemstone Egg is the new legendary Amethyst Penguin.
Its reported hatch chance is only 0.05%, which is incredibly low. That works out to approximately 1 in 2,000 eggs based purely on the stated probability.
Since one Gemstone Egg costs 28 Star Reward Coins, getting one requires a long-term login commitment. The extremely low chance also means most players should not expect to hatch the Amethyst Penguin quickly.
Why Is the Amethyst Penguin So Rare?
The 0.05% chance makes the Amethyst Penguin one of the rarest pets connected to this system. Even if you consistently collect Gemstone Eggs, there is no guarantee that you will receive one within a specific number of eggs.
For example, opening 2,000 eggs gives an expected probability based on the stated odds, but it does not guarantee the pet. Some players could get one much earlier, while others could go much longer without finding it.
This extreme rarity could also make the Amethyst Penguin highly valuable in trading, although its actual value will depend on player demand and how many enter circulation.
Best Way to Spend Star Reward Coins
If you want to make the most out of the new system, avoid spending your coins on every small reward.
A good priority could be:
- Save 5 coins for the Build Limit Increase if you are a builder.
- Save 14 coins for the Royal Fairy Tale Egg if you want a rare egg.
- Save 28 coins for the Gemstone Egg if you want the new Amethyst Penguin.
- Consider the temporary auras if you enjoy cosmetic effects.
- Skip cheap items that can easily be obtained through other methods.
- Avoid Streak Savers unless maintaining your login streak is important to you.
- Think carefully before spending 20 coins on temporary 2x boosts.
The best choice depends on what you enjoy doing in Adopt Me, but the special eggs are likely to be the biggest targets for most collectors.
The new Star Rewards system gives Adopt Me players a new way to earn rewards simply by logging into the game. The Royal Fairy Tale Egg costs 14 Star Reward Coins, while the Gemstone Egg costs 28 coins, so saving your currency is important if either egg is your main goal.
The Gemstone Egg also introduces the extremely rare Amethyst Penguin, with a reported 0.05% chance of hatching it. Alongside the new eggs, the Build Limit Increase is another excellent reward for players who spend a lot of time creating houses. With several useful rewards available, the revamped Star Rewards system gives players more reasons to keep logging in and saving their coins.
