User Guide Lesson #3- Trading Pets

You may or may not have noticed but Marapets is based heavily upon the trading of pets. You spend most of your time working hard to get your 'dream' pets. Which is actually a lot more fun than it sounds. But for those who aren't rich (like me) and aren't able to buy AUs it's all that much harder. Here are some tips for the rich and poor on climbing up the ladder of pets.

When you go create your pet and are about to name it wait, read this. Pets with bad names lower their tradability by 50%. I'm serious. Name your pet like you'd name your child, or an actual animal. You aren't going to name your baby boy Robert_Love1234324323, right? If the name is taken be creative. Robberrt. Double letters tend to look cool if not over used. (Rroobbeerrtt)

DONT USE NUMBERS, UNDERSLASHES, OR DOUBLENAMES! (RobertLove) CAPITILIZE THE FIRST LETTER Dx

Seriously, you're most likely living in America and Europe or Mexico (or some other cool place xD), here, if you don't already know we capitilize the first letter (and in some cases the third) of a name.

Now that you know how to name a pet how about trading? DON'T GET DISCOURAGED. It takes a while. I know. When you have your first non-LE pet USE THE PORTAL. OK your first attempt may do nother (and the second, and the third) But then, eeeww, you get somthing ugly. Boohoo, go to the 'Pets' forrum more likely than not you've got someone who may (or may not) want it.

Now I've found through my 2+ years of experience when you create a board short and sweet is the best. Rather than listing the things you don't want just say 'Trading All-Offer' People don't feel pressured or like what they have won't work.

When you're offering it's the same prospect. "Fluffy for your pet Bob?" Now if they say no, DEAL WITH IT. Don't constantly pester them. They'll hate your guts, kill your reputation and most likely BLOCK you. BE POLITE. "OK I understand." Wish them luck and LEAVE the board.

In between on the forum go to the gym, train your pets. Tradability INREASES a ton! Go play games, do services if your artistic and draw things for others. Make some friends.

When your trading /your/ pets be on the lookout for pets WITH good names, overoffer or not bad names SUCK Dx (I'm living proof with my chibberz ^^

Let's overveiw...

1. Give your pets a good name.
2. Be polite when trading.
3. Short and sweet.
4. Train your pet.
5. FOLLOW GRAMMAR RULES FROM LESSON #1! D;
6. Do your best to trade for pets with good names.
