Welcome to rescreatu slysmartie.  Truthfully, there is no actual "tip" on how to play.   I suggest you gather eggs from one of the various planets.  Hatch the eggs, and hope you get lucky with colored pets.   If you are a rancher, create a shop and sell the pets you obtain.  Some steps are below.

1.  Before searching, go to the "Hatchery" and click the link at the top of the page that says "creatu list".  You can view the species available.  The lower the percentage, the rarer the egg is.  If a pet has a percentage of 0% rarity, it cannot be obtained by exploring planets, but can be bought from other users, or obtained through special events such as through Quests or in the Credit Shop.  In the "creatu list" you can also see the colors available for that pet, as well as what the pet looks like in all forms (egg-adult)

2.  After selecting several eggs you want, select a planet by "exploring" you will randomly stumble upon eggs from that planet, and you pick them up.  be carefule, only 100 eggs can be picked up each day.

3.  Once you find the eggs you want, return to the "hatchery" and they will be displayed.  In order to hatch, Click "incubate" and wait until the egg says "ready" underneath, meaning it is ready to hatch.  The time it takes for an egg to incubate is a different time for each species.  In the "creatu list" there is a general idea of how long it may take.

4.  When ready, click "hatch me" and see what color you can get.  On rescreatu, it is possible to hatch...

• naturals
• sepias
• creams
• blacks
• gingers
• silvers
• blondes
• albinos

Albinos being the rarest, and naturals being the most common

The rarity of the color and pet depends how much they can be sold for.

If you wish to sell the pet for higher value...

1.  Try not to add jibberish in the name...such as "aceoivbn" or something of the sort.

2.  Try not to insert numbers in the pet's name, such as "sarah32"

3.  RWN (real world names) or RN (real names) are popular with many users.  Real world names are names/words that exist in real life, such as "Tree" or "ran".  A real name are names that can be found in real life, such as "Katie" or "john"

4.  Names cannot be repeated and only one of a name can exist throughout the site.  To obtain a name you want you must find the user who owns it and ask to buy

Since you are a rancher...

1.  Follow the above "tips" and open a rancher shop.

2.  Stock the pets according to value...(to find a general value click 'Search pets" and fill in the fields such as "species" and "color")  and try to be around that Tu (Money) range.

3.  Pets do not appear in your shop if they are listed for "0 tu".  You must click "edit stock" and change the prices of pets once you stock pets into the shop.

4.  When someone buys, the tu will appear in your "till".  Click "Shop till" and if anyone buys, your tu will show up there.

This is about it.  Feel free to rmail any questions, good luck for your future on rescreatu!
