Other people have mentioned you don't get the crafting items from the black market bags if we already have the max amount of them so i was planning on clicking on a bunch of crystalwings to stock up on materials but i kind of don't want to do that if mass clicking them is just going to end up getting me flagged for goldmining or if i would be safe say opening like 20-30 at a time regardless of if they are adult creatures or not
im kind of wondering this too
i came back from a hiatus and discovered crafting/getting parentless pygmy dragons recently and i was mining in someones keep that allowed me to (it was only like at most 50 pages at once and it wasnt for gold or anything, just the crafting items) but i stopped because these are adult creatures and i dont wanna get banned off the site or anything lol

just wanted to know if this case scenario was allowed or not? or at least a bit more elaboration that its allowed cause i was skimming the thread a bit and i want to be cautious whether or not what im doing is bad

maybe i could open less links at once like <30?
You get them from eggs and hatchlings too I think. You can also refresh their bestiary page to get the crafting materials, that way you do not click tons of adults and can still fairly easily max out the items.
oh wow i didnt know about that, thank you!

Does anyone think that the recent lag was due to someone goldmining again?

Hi!
I just came back after a 3 year long hiatus and before I get myself banned
I was wondering if going to the reindeer games and clicking peoples egg (in the three threads)
will get me banned as well? My native language isn't English and I have a hard time understanding what is allowed
and what is not..

If someone could help me not get banned that'd be great xD thanks!

Hello CrashingCyclone,
clicking eggs/hatchlings in the reindeer games, in signatures, and also on the image free nursery is perfectly fine.

Typical "gold mining" means clicking hundreds and thousands adults in a semi automated way, which caused problems for the magistream server. However, clicking adults does not give any gold anymore (Announcement in the newsletter).

Hi Kunigund! Thanks for the reply,
So I can click away as long as it's eggs or hatchlings?
I didn't even think the sites were allowed, so as of now they are again?

Yes, clicking eggs & hatchlings is fine.

Not sure what you man by "I didn't even think the sites were allowed". Rosehill said that "Snaplinks in IFN and click threads is still ok." (link to Rosehill post) and as far as I know this has not changed since then.
Regarding signatures - it is allowed to have clickable eggs/hatchlings there and the only purpose I can think of is to get clicks. Some users simply refer to their signatures in the click threads.

I don't know what snaplinks and IFN means so I guess that's where the confusion started to begin with.

Oh, I apologize for not explaining in more detail.

IFN is the image free nursery, a hatching & growing site that was created by Rosehill. You can add your critters and other users will click them. The site has also a few other useful thinks in the "MS Code Tools", for example the lineage tools to check bred critters or potential mates for inbreeding or the length of their lineage.

Snaplinks (and other similar tools) is an additional tool (add-on) to the internet browser that allows opening several links at once without clicking them individually.
