The Golden Egg is one of the rarest and most coveted items in Adopt Me! on Roblox. Obtaining a Golden Egg requires an enormous amount of luck or trading high-value pets and items.
What is the Golden Egg?
The Golden Egg is a legendary egg that was available during the 2019 Easter event in Adopt Me! Hatching a Golden Egg has a chance to unlock ultra-rare and legendary pets. The odds of hatching a legendary pet from a Golden Egg are estimated to be around 5%.
Some of the ultra-rare and legendary pets you can get from the Golden Egg include:
- Arctic Reindeer
- Turtle
- Kangaroo
- Golden Penguin
- Golden Rat
- Queen Bee
- Golden Unicorn
- Golden Dragon
The Golden Egg is especially coveted because of the low odds of obtaining it and the exclusive pets that can only be hatched from it.
Why is the Golden Egg so rare?
There are a few key reasons why Golden Eggs are incredibly rare in Adopt Me:
- Limited availability – Golden Eggs were only obtainable during the 2019 Easter event for a limited time. They have not been available since then, making the existing supply very scarce.
- Difficult to obtain originally – During the Easter event, you either had to get very lucky opening normal eggs to get a Golden Egg, or collect a ton of normal eggs/chocolate bunnies to trade for just one Golden Egg.
- High demand – Due to the exclusive pets, Golden Eggs are highly sought after by collectors and pet traders, driving up the value.
- Cannot be purchased – Unlike some special eggs, Golden Eggs cannot be purchased with Robux. The only way to get them was through the Easter event.
Due to these factors, there are very few Golden Eggs in circulation relative to the high demand for them.
How rare is the Golden Egg?
It’s estimated that only about 5,000-10,000 Golden Eggs exist in Adopt Me based on the number of active players during the 2019 Easter event. Compare that to the millions of players currently active in Adopt Me, and the rarity is astounding.
To quantify just how rare they are, let’s look at the estimated odds:
- Chance of hatching a legendary pet from a Golden Egg: 5%
- Chance of obtaining a Golden Egg from 2019 Easter event: Less than 1%
- Current chance of obtaining a Golden Egg through trading: Less than 0.001%
So your odds of hatching a Golden Egg today are probably around 1 in 100,000 or worse based on the tiny supply versus massive demand. That makes Golden Eggs much rarer than any pets you can currently obtain in the game!
What is a Golden Egg worth in trades?
The extreme rarity of Golden Eggs makes their trading value astronomical. Here are some example trades that give an idea of what a Golden Egg is worth:
- 1 Golden Egg = Neon Shadow Dragon or Neon Bat Dragon (two of the rarest legendaries)
- 1 Golden Egg = Two Neon Turtles or Neon Kangaroos
- 1 Golden Egg = 16 Unicorns or Dragons
- 1 Golden Egg = One Mega Turtle or Mega Kangaroo
In rare instances, some collectors may even trade multiple high-tier Neon Legendaries for one Golden Egg. Values for them are only rising over time as supply shrinks.
Golden Egg Value inUSD
Real-world money trades involving Golden Eggs regularly value them at over $100 per egg. Some trades for ultra-rare Golden Egg pets like Neon Arctic Reindeer can value them at over $500.
Of course, real-money trading violates Roblox terms of service. But it demonstrates how much value the rarest Adopt Me pets and items hold for serious collectors.
Should you trade for a Golden Egg?
Trading for a Golden Egg requires giving up a huge amount of rare Adopt Me pets that are difficult to replace. And you’ll still only have a 5% chance at the legendary pet you might want.
Here are some pros and cons of trading for a Golden Egg:
Pros
- Owning an exclusive, incredibly rare item
- Chance at ultra-rare/legendary exclusives like Arctic Reindeer
- Huge flex and status symbol
- Can potentially trade the egg again for even more value
Cons
- Likelihood of not getting your dream pet is very high
- Have to massively overpay in current value
- Exclusive pets can be obtained for less through trading
- Owning a Golden Egg won’t change core gameplay
Conclusion
The Golden Egg stands in a league of its own when it comes to rarity and value in Adopt Me. If you manage to trade for one, it will be the crown jewel of your inventory. But you have to decide if that status symbol is worth giving up a huge chunk of your hard-earned pets and items.
For most players, trading for specific ultra-rare or legendary pets they want will be a much better value than chasing the Golden Egg. But for serious collectors who value exclusivity over all else, the Golden Egg remains the ultimate Adopt Me prize.
