  • is it more cost efficient to level your evolved pigs one Level 1 pig at a time or level up the lower  pigs To a higher level than level your evolved pig? Thanks

    @DC228 Cost effective has nothing to do with it.  Level 1 and 2 birds are NOTHING but fodder for leveling up.  You don’t want to level up a 1/2 bird, ever.  Those should be merged into Level 3+ birds.

    You’ll very quickly reach the point where leveling up even a Level 3 bird is only useful to acquire a “Collection” bird for an evolved 3-star.  You’ll want to save your coins to level up the (more expensive) level 4+, or evolved, birds.

    In short, as you acquire Level 1 or 2 birds, either merge them into at least a level 3 bird, or (if you have none of the same color), sell them to clear inventory space.

    @dc228 – Completely unscientific opinion based on my playing; I have not run actual numbers.

    But I feel that it is more cost efficient to level up 3-star bird to 20 (using 1&2 star birds) and evolve it, then feed it to a 4-star bird which will gain around 6-7 levels from it, than to directly feed the 1&2 start birds to the 4-star bird.

    Again, based totally on what I am seeing/feeling by the way I play the game, but not by crunching actual numbers. Because I am too lazy to spend the time to do that. :P

    Okay, here are some numbers- at least enough to give a high level picture.

    I have Geraldine, a 5-star red bird. She was at level 26. It costs 100 gold to feed a bird to her. Feeding her a 2-star bird gives her 14% of a level.

    To level her 5 times, to level 31 would take this:

    (Around 7 2-star birds per level) x (5 levels) x (100 gold coins per bird) =

    TOTAL: 3500 gold coins

    ———————-

    I also had Margaret, a 3-star red bird at level 1. I fed her 1-star and 2-star red birds until she was level 20, evolved her, and fed her to Geraldine. This gave Geraldine 5 levels. It costs 40 gold coins to feed a bird to Margaret. I fed 16 red birds to Margaret to get her to level 20 (9 1-star birds, 7 2-stars). It cost 100 gold coins to feed Margaret to Geraldine, and 200 red evolution material to evolve Margaret. So…

    ((16 birds total) x (40 gold coins per bird)) + 100 =

    TOTAL: 740 gold coins + 200 evolution material

    ***IMPORTANT NOTE: When Margaret was level 20, but not evolved, I dragged her up to the box to feed her to Geraldine but did not go through with it. Geraldine would have only gained 1 level! But with Margaret evolved, Geraldine gained 5!

    I have also done the same process by feeding 3-star birds to 4-star birds. They level up even more quickly! They gain around 7 levels per evolved (level 20) 3-star bird instead of only 5.

    Extra bonus, I had a 3-star black bird that was XP Shiny. I did the process on him and then fed him to a 4-star black bird that was somewhere in the late 20 levels – maybe 28ish and he leveled to 39.

    ———————-

    BOTTOM LINE: Much more cost efficient to level up and evolve 3-star birds and feed them to 4&5-star birds than to feed the 4&5-star birds directly. But definitely evolve the 3-star birds first!
