How Do You Start Ride A Pet?

Ride A Pet is a Roblox pet collection game where speed equals progress. You find eggs around the map, hatch them into rideable pets, and use faster pets to reach better eggs. This guide walks you through your first hour with optimal efficiency.

Step 1: Claim Free Rewards (5 minutes)

Before doing anything else, claim these free rewards:

Like the Game

  • Open the Ride A Pet Roblox page
  • Click the Like button (thumbs up)
  • Launch the game and check for a claim button

Join the Developer Group

  • Search for and join “this game is gud” on Roblox
  • Return to the game and look for a group reward claim option

These rewards typically include currency, eggs, or starter pets that jumpstart your progression.

Step 2: Learn the Core Loop (10 minutes)

Ride A Pet’s gameplay follows a simple but strategic loop:

The Egg-to-Pet Cycle

  1. Find Eggs - Explore the map to locate egg spawns
  2. Return to My Plot - Carry eggs back to your base
  3. Hatch Pets - Use your nests to hatch eggs into pets
  4. Ride Faster - Equip faster pets to reach better eggs
  5. Repeat - Better pets = better eggs = better pets

Key Interface Elements

Element Purpose
Egg Basket Shows how many eggs you can carry
Radar Helps locate egg spawns
Index Tracks your pet collection
Shop Purchase eggs, radars, and upgrades
Rebirth Reset for permanent progression

Step 3: Get Your First Real Pet (20 minutes)

Starter Pets

You begin with basic pets like Snail or Chicken (15-25 speed). These are too slow for efficient farming.

First Upgrade: Horse

Your first goal is a Horse (~50 speed) from Common Eggs:

  1. Save currency from starter pets
  2. Buy Common Eggs from the shop
  3. Hatch until you get a Horse
  4. Equip it immediately

Why Horse? It offers the best speed-to-cost ratio for beginners. Check our Pet Tier List for full rankings.

Step 4: Establish Efficient Routes (15 minutes)

Basic Egg Route

With your Horse, establish a simple route:

  1. Check Radar - Locate nearest egg spawn
  2. Ride to Egg - Prioritize closer spawns first
  3. Return to Plot - Don’t overfill your basket
  4. Hatch Immediately - Keep nests cycling

Egg Types by Zone

Zone Egg Type Rarity
Starting Area Common Egg Low
Grasslands Uncommon Egg Medium
Hills Rare Egg High
Special Areas Dragon Egg Legendary

Step 5: Plan Your Next Upgrade (10 minutes)

Short-Term Goals

Goal Time Reward
Get Horse 30 min 50 speed
Save for Giant Egg 2 hours Epic pets
First Rebirth 4-6 hours Permanent boosts

Currency Management

  • Don’t overspend on Common Eggs after getting a Horse
  • Save for Giant Eggs (better odds for Epic pets)
  • Keep reserve currency for radar upgrades

Common Beginner Mistakes

Mistake 1: Ignoring Free Rewards

Many players skip the like and group rewards. These provide crucial early currency.

Mistake 2: Overfilling the Basket

Carrying too many eggs slows you down. Return to plot before your basket is completely full.

Mistake 3: Mutating Too Early

Don’t waste resources mutating starter pets. Save mutations for pets you’ll use long-term.

Mistake 4: Ignoring the Index

Completing Index milestones gives rewards. Check it regularly for free currency.

Beginner FAQ

What should I do first in Ride A Pet?

Claim free rewards (like the game, join group), then focus on getting a Horse pet as your first speed upgrade.

How do I get better pets?

Better pets come from better eggs. Progress from Common Eggs to Giant Eggs to Dragon Eggs as you save currency.

What is the fastest way to progress?

Speed is everything. Prioritize getting the fastest pet you can afford, then use it to farm more efficiently.

Should I rebirth as a beginner?

Not immediately. Rebirth resets your progress for permanent boosts. Wait until you have efficient farming setups (4-6 hours in).

How do mutations work?

Mutations upgrade a pet’s speed by 10-30%. Use them on pets you plan to keep long-term, not starters.
