Unlocking the Sakura Incubator
To unlock the Sakura Incubator in Steal an Egg, you must first acquire a Crane pet. This Epic Pet can be found within eggs in the Cherry Blossom Zone. You need to have a speed of at least 3.5B to successfully steal eggs from this area.
Once you have obtained a Crane, keep it in your inventory. Approach the Sakura Incubator, which is located at the back of the Cherry Blossom zone, the final biome in the game. Interact with the Sakura Incubator while the Crane is in your possession and submit the pet to activate the machine.
The size or mutations of the Crane do not matter; you can use the smallest one you have. After submitting the Crane, the Sakura Incubator will be permanently unlocked. Be aware that you will lose the Crane pet once it is used to unlock the incubator.
Farming Sakura Crystals During the Great Bloom Event
After unlocking the Sakura Incubator, the Great Bloom event becomes available in the Cherry Blossom Zone. This event repeats every 30 minutes, and you will receive an on-screen notification when it begins. A timer above the Sakura Incubator also displays when the next event is scheduled.
During the Great Bloom event, you can farm Sakura Crystals by using your baseball bat to smash the special cherry blossom trees.
Each event lasts for approximately 3 minutes, providing a limited window to collect as many crystals as possible. These crystals are crucial for improving your chances of obtaining mutations from the Sakura Incubator.
Getting Bloom and Spirit Bloom Mutations
The Sakura Incubator is your primary method for obtaining the exclusive Bloom and Spirit Bloom mutations in Steal an Egg. You can use Sakura Crystals, farmed during the Great Bloom event, to increase your odds of achieving these mutations on an egg.
To get a Bloom mutation, place any egg from your inventory into the unlocked Sakura Incubator. Charge the egg using Sakura Crystals until it reaches at least 100%. Once processed, the egg has a 97.5% chance of receiving the Bloom mutation.
The Spirit Bloom mutation is a rarer outcome. Any egg charged to at least 100% has a 2.5% chance of yielding Spirit Bloom instead of Bloom.
It is recommended to charge eggs to the maximum of 150% for a better chance at this rare mutation. You cannot use hatched eggs or eggs already in your pen.
Using the Sakura Incubator Effectively
To maximize your chances of obtaining mutations, it is best to position yourself in the Cherry Blossom Zone before the Great Bloom event begins. When the event notification appears, immediately equip your baseball bat and start hitting the sakura trees to gather crystals.
Avoid wasting any of the 3-minute event window by traveling from another zone. Staying in the Cherry Blossom Zone allows you to fully utilize the event for crystal collection and prepare for subsequent mutation attempts.
Since mutations cannot be applied to hatched eggs, ensure you save any rare pets you acquire in your inventory before using the incubator.
