What Is the Hatch & Birthday Magic Update?
The Hatch & Birthday Magic update has two core features:
- A complete egg refresh system
- A limited-time birthday event with magic-themed rewards
This combo makes the update more focused on pet trading and variants. Unlike other updates, this one has new eggs and pets that add to the trading market and switch up current value trends.
New Egg System & Pet Refresh
The biggest news about this update that’s been going around in the Adopt Me playerbase is the egg refresh. New eggs are being added to the pet pool, which affects how hatch rates and pet rarities function.
Key Changes According to the official Adopt Me! updates page:
- Updated Common to Legendary pet pool – The colors for all pet rarities are changed (Common = Grey, Uncommon = Green, Rare = Blue, Ultra-Rare = Purple, Legendary = Yellow)
- Adjusted hatch rates for better balance – Common 20%, Uncommon 35%, Rare 27%, Ultra-Rare 15%, Legendary 3%
- New egg designs with a “magical birthday” theme – Eggs with this theme have new pets featured in the game
Why this Matters:
The egg refresh is a big deal right now because:
- It increases the value of pets that were released in older versions
- Creates demand spikes in trading
- Gives players more pets to collect to fill their indexes
Tip: With the addition of the pet refresh, older pets have become more valuable since they’re harder to get now.
Birthday Magic Event Features
This birthday event has one of the more exciting features, which is how pets now celebrate their birthday every time they hatch or level up! That also includes:
- An extra way to earn more Bucks through hatching
- Magic-themed rewards, including accessories and pets
- A limited shop with exclusive items
Birthday Gift Rewards per Pet Level-Up: Bucks, a random Food, Potions, Chests, and more Eggs!
New Pets & Eggs in the Update
Along with the birthday egg themes, there’s at least one confirmed new pet added to Adopt Me, that being the Legendary Purrowl. This pet is a mixture between a cat and an owl and is in high-demand for its release.
All other pets hatched during this event, specifically from the birthday themed eggs, will be born as a rare birthday variant that’s sure to increase in value as time goes on. That’s because the eggs are limited to this event only.
From experience, the release of the Purrowl and birthday eggs will:
- Start with very high trade value because of how new they are.
- The Purrowl will drop in value after the hype dies down, but the birthday eggs will increase due to lack of sources.
Tip: If you want to trade up for rare pets, then it’s best to stock up on birthday eggs and Purrowls now while they’re the most accessible to trade later.
Hatch Bonuses & Bug Fixes
Along with the new hatching birthday gift bonuses, there’s also several bug fixes that the Adopt Me developers have made. These include:
- Fix made where players previously couldn’t collect rewards (Bucks and XP) from the Pet Pen
- 2 Jiggly Jerboa’s would appear on the Nursery Boards
- Prompts for the Cool and Fun Flying Desks were switched incorrectly
Best Strategies for the Hatch & Birthday Magic Update
While the new features may seem small, there’s a few tips you can use to get as many birthday eggs and gifts as you can while the event lasts.
1. Prioritize the New Event Tasks
During the Hatch & Birthday Magic event update, daily tasks may give out special limited items that match the birthday theme. That includes more birthday eggs and pet variants!
2. Hatch Your Pets Now!
Even if you’ve been holding on to some eggs before the event, now is the perfect time to hatch them! Even with other egg variants, you’ll get extra rewards as your new pets level up, including right when you hatch them.
3. Hold onto Your Birthday Pets
If you manage to get ahold of some of the birthday variant pets through the birthday eggs, then hold onto them! By waiting out the event, their value goes up since the eggs become no longer available. If you plan to trade these pets, wait out the hype first.
Don’t Do This! Extra Tips
While the event looks super simple and harmless, please don’t trade out your birthday pets right when you get them!
- Trading your birthday pets now will make you lose out on their value afterwards
- Have some birthday eggs leftover for trading too
- Ignoring older pets when their value just got increased thanks to the Purrowl
Conclusion
The new Hatch & Birthday Magic update for Adopt Me gives players some brand new egg and pet variants that switch up the trading market. With the new birthday eggs, players can hatch birthday themed pets alongside the new Purrowl to trade for even higher rarities.
The update also introduces the new hatch gift mechanic that gives players free rewards, making hatching more important than ever right now. If you’re looking to profit off this event, you’ll want to log on now and get as many birthday items as you can to trade later!
