💡 Guide Objective: Maximize your farm’s ROI by spending every Ruby and Cash wisely in Raise Animals. Avoid common beginner mistakes and ensure each investment accelerates your growth.
1. Early-Game Resource “Three Sins” (Most Common Beginner Mistakes)
In the early stages of Raise Animals, resources are extremely limited. Misallocation can drastically slow down your progress.
1.1 Sin One: Overspending on Decorations
Common Mistake: Investing heavily in low-return farm decorations such as flowers or small statues.
Best Practice: Decorations have minimal impact on visitor traffic early on. Prioritize Cash for fences and productivity tools that directly increase farm income.
1.2 Sin Two: Wasting Rubies on Ordinary Gacha
Common Mistake: Using rare Rubies to purchase basic lassos, low-tier food, or cosmetic items.
Best Practice: Save Rubies strictly for high-value, irreplaceable upgrades. This ensures that every Ruby contributes to significant farm growth.
1.3 Sin Three: Inefficient Fence Upgrades
Common Mistake: Upgrading all fences evenly, resulting in moderate capacity but insufficient space for high-yield rare animals.
Best Practice: Focus on 1–2 core fences. Maximize their capacity to house the highest-income rare animals.
2. Cash Allocation Priorities
Cash is the primary driver of Raise Animals farm expansion.
| Priority | Investment | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| P1 (Core) | New & larger fences | More capacity = more animals = higher income. |
| P2 (Efficiency) | Automation tools | Automatic feeders and collectors save time and boost productivity. |
| P3 (Production) | Advanced animal food | Keeps animals at high levels for maximum income. |
| P4 (Exploration) | Unlock new maps | Access new rare animals once current maps are exhausted. |
| P5 (Secondary) | Farm decorations | Only invest surplus cash after core systems are optimized. |
3. Rubies: The Golden Rule for High-Value Investments
Rubies are the rarest resource in Raise Animals and must be used strategically.
3.1 Lasso System
Priority: Use Rubies for the rarest gacha or limited-time lasso events to increase chances of capturing Shine animals. Avoid: Using Rubies on basic lassos or ordinary gacha.
3.2 Map/Area Unlocks
Strategy: Unlock expensive new maps with unique Shine animals for high ROI. ROI Check: Ensure the new map’s rare animal income outweighs current earnings before spending Rubies.
3.3 Speed & Acceleration
Competitive Players: Invest in permanent upgrades to boost character running speed and acceleration.
3.4 Rare Animal Gacha
Risk Assessment: Only use Rubies on rare animal draws if a specific Shine animal is urgently needed and cash reserves are sufficient.
4. Advanced Resource Optimization: Storage & Animal Level Management
4.1 Animal Storage Management
- “Three In, Three Out” Rule: Sell the lowest-income animals when capturing a new, higher-level one.
- Inventory Cleanup: Periodically sell extra common animals in bulk for additional Cash.
4.2 Animal Level Strategy
- Focused Feeding: Feed high-tier food to S-rank or Shine animals first to maximize income boost.
- Lower-Tier Animals: Keep Common/Uncommon animals only at the minimum level required for income. No need for over-investment.
Conclusion:
By avoiding the early-game “Three Sins,” prioritizing Cash and Rubies wisely, and managing your animal inventory efficiently, new players can achieve rapid growth in Raise Animals. Strategic investments in fences, automation, and Shine animals will maximize ROI and ensure a strong foundation for mid- and late-game farm expansion.
