- Dig For Eggs best eggs to get depend on your progression stage, not just rarity color.
- Void Egg is the endgame target for the strongest pets, including the Abyssal Reaper.
- Golden Egg offers the best luck pets, with Royal Phoenix at 35% odds.
- Crystal Egg is the value sweet spot for mid-game coin farming.
- Never buy Dirt Eggs after your first hour — the pet pool falls off fast.
Egg Tier Overview: Which Eggs Are Worth It
In Dig For Eggs, every egg type has a fixed pet pool with set hatch odds, so choosing where to spend your dig time and Coins is the single biggest lever on your account's growth. Deeper digging layers hide rarer eggs, and the jump from Crystal to Lava tier is where pet multipliers start to matter.
Here is the full egg lineup ranked by overall value:
| Egg | Tier | Cost / Source | Hatch Time | Best Pet (Odds) | Value Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dirt Egg | Common | 100 Coins / surface layer | 30 sec | Rocky Rabbit (5%) | ★☆☆☆☆ |
| Stone Egg | Uncommon | 500 Coins / mid-depth | 1 min | Pebble Penguin (5%) | ★★☆☆☆ |
| Crystal Egg | Rare | 5,000 Coins / deep layer | 3 min | Prism Dragon (10%) | ★★★★☆ |
| Lava Egg | Epic | 25,000 Coins / magma layer | 8 min | Magma Mole (10%) | ★★★☆☆ |
| Golden Egg | Legendary | 100 Gems / events, rare finds | 15 min | Royal Phoenix (35%) | ★★★★★ |
| Void Egg | Secret | Limited events, ultra-rare digs | 30 min | Abyssal Reaper (15%) | ★★★★★ |
Notice that the Void Egg's "common" hatch, Void Whale (85%), is still stronger than most Golden Egg hatches. That's why Secret tier eggs dominate endgame value — even the floor pets outperform lower tiers' ceilings.
Best Eggs by Progression Stage
The right egg changes as your shovel tier and currency income improve. Rushing an egg you can't sustain is worse than farming one tier below at volume.
Early Game: Stone Egg
- 500 Coins per egg, easy mid-depth supply
- Stone Cat (70%) gives a stable first multiplier
- Skip Dirt Eggs once you can afford Stone tier
Mid Game: Crystal Egg
- Best coins-per-value in the game
- Crystal Fox (60%) = x1.5 Coins multiplier
- Prism Dragon (10%) = your first real Luck boost
End Game: Golden & Void
- Golden Egg: Royal Phoenix (35%) = x3 Luck
- Void Egg: Abyssal Reaper (15%) = x5 Coins, x4 Dig Speed
- Save Gems exclusively for these tiers
Hatched pets only boost you when equipped, and hatch timers run only when eggs are in the hatchery. Always keep the queue full — an idle hatchery is wasted multiplier time.
Step-by-Step: Your Egg Farming Route
Follow this route to move from starter eggs to the Void Egg pool as efficiently as possible.
Redeem codes and stack boosts
Redeem all active codes first. A 2x Luck Boost directly improves rare pet odds, so run it while you mass-hatch your best available egg.
Farm the layer that matches your shovel
Surface layer for Dirt/Stone, deep layer for Crystal, magma layer for Lava. Clear wide tunnels instead of one deep shaft to maximize egg finds per stamina spent.
Reinvest Coins into shovel upgrades
Shovel upgrades pay for themselves by unlocking richer layers. Prioritize them over cosmetic eggs until you comfortably reach the deep layer.
Build a Luck team before hunting Golden Eggs
Equip Prism Dragon (x1.5 Luck) or Royal Phoenix (x3 Luck) while farming — luck multipliers improve rare egg finds during digs.
Push for the Void Egg pool
Once you have a strong coin team, grind limited events and ultra-rare deep-layer finds for Void Eggs. Target the Abyssal Reaper — the strongest all-around pet.
Players who follow this route typically reach Crystal Egg farming within the first few sessions, and Golden Egg hunts once Gems accumulate from events and rare digs.
Hatch Odds and Pet Payoff Compared
Before spending 25,000 Coins on Lava Eggs, compare the payoff against cheaper tiers:
| Egg | Coin Cost per Hatch | Top Multiplier Available | Effective Best Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dirt | 100 | x1.1 Dig Speed (Dirt Dog) | First 10 minutes only |
| Stone | 500 | x1.1 Coins (Pebble Penguin tier) | Starter filler pets |
| Crystal | 5,000 | x1.5 Coins / x1.5 Luck | Best mid-game coin farm |
| Lava | 25,000 | x2 Dig Speed (Magma Mole) | Dig-speed farming teams |
| Golden | 100 Gems | x3 Coins + x3 Luck (Royal Phoenix) | Best luck pets |
| Void | Event only | x5 Coins + x4 Dig Speed + x3 Luck (Abyssal Reaper) | Endgame everything |
Trading value tracks the same curve — Common pets trade for 1–5 Gems while Mythical/Secret pets command 2,000+ Gems, so every Void Egg hatch also builds trading capital.
The Lava Egg's 55% Lava Hound rate makes it a variance-heavy purchase. If your goal is coin income, repeated Crystal Egg hatches often outperform it until you specifically need dig-speed pets.

FAQ
Q: What are the best eggs to get in Dig For Eggs?
For most players, the Crystal Egg is the best value egg in the mid game thanks to strong coin multipliers, while the Golden Egg and Void Egg are the best endgame targets — the Golden Egg's Royal Phoenix (35% odds) gives x3 Coins and x3 Luck, and the Void Egg's Abyssal Reaper (15% odds) is the strongest pet in the game.
Q: Is the Lava Egg worth 25,000 Coins?
It depends on your goal. The Magma Mole (10% odds) gives x2 Dig Speed, which is great for fast farming, but the 55% Lava Hound rate makes it inconsistent. For pure coin income, repeated Crystal Egg hatches usually deliver better returns per Coin spent.
Q: Do Luck boosts affect egg hatches?
Luck multipliers from pets like Prism Dragon and Royal Phoenix, plus code-based Luck Boosts, improve rare egg finds while digging. They do not change the fixed pet odds inside each egg type.
Q: Where do Void Eggs come from?
Void Eggs appear as extremely rare finds in the deepest digging layers and as limited-event rewards. They can't be bought in the egg shop, which is why Void-tier pets hold such high trading value.
