The basic loop
Step
Progress in Trade and Dumpling follows a straightforward cycle. Dumplings cook and money accumulates while you are away, so logging in regularly is what actually moves things forward. Each time you return, you open your steamer boxes, then trade to upgrade your collection.
- Log in regularly dumplings cook and money stacks up while you are away, but you need to log in to collect what has built up.
- Open the steamer this is the main way to get new dumplings, ranging from common to rare.
- Trade with NPCs a limited range of swaps is available with in-game NPCs to improve your collection.
- Trade with players use the in-game trade system to swap with other players and fill gaps in your collection.
- Repeat better dumplings earn more money, which pushes you further up the leaderboard.
Mutations and why they matter
Tips
Some dumplings have special forms called mutations. A mutation is worth more than the standard version of the same dumpling, meaning it earns more money over time. Mutations can appear when you open steamer boxes, so every opening is a chance at one.
- Mutations come out of the steamer the same way normal dumplings do — keep opening boxes.
- A mutated dumpling earns more money than its standard counterpart.
- If you are aiming for the top of the leaderboard, collecting mutations is the clearest path there.
