Crane guide
The Crane is the first egg most players will grab in Cherry Blossom, and it is built for Speed rather than income. A 3-minute egg pays +2.7m Speed, more than the 12-hour Unicorn gives (+2.4m).
Getting into Cherry Blossom
The Crane Egg spawns in Cherry Blossom, the 10th biome, a sakura-themed zone beyond Cosmic. You need 2.5B Speed to enter, and the guardian is the Oni Tiger. The egg grows in 3 minutes and pays +2.7m Speed and $400k.
A Speed egg for the push to Titan Temple
At roughly 900k Speed per minute of growth, the Crane is the fastest Speed return in Cherry Blossom. The next zone, Titan Temple, asks for 7B Speed, so egg rewards will never carry you there alone, but running Crane eggs through spare pen slots adds a steady trickle while longer eggs grow and while treadmills do the bulk of the work.
Income: top Epic, bottom of its zone
- $4K/s, the lowest in Cherry Blossom (8th of 8)
- The highest-earning Epic pet in the game (11th of 11 counting from the lowest)
- 163rd of 198 overall
For comparison, the Epic from Cosmic, the Centapede, makes $1.5K/s.
Mutations raise it modestly. With the formula the wiki documents (calculator labelled beta), a Golden Crane would make about $10K/s, a Rainbow one about $14K/s, and a copy at 100× its 22 kg base weight about $68.5K/s. Rainbow with 100× weight reaches roughly $240K/s.
Trade value
The Crane is an Easy-tier requirement for the Shattered Rift sacrifice, and it is the Epic pet of the Cherry Blossom egg on all three Laboratory banners (Biohazard, Experimental and Unstable DNA).
