THE SHORT ANSWER

Compare radar hunting tiers

Start with an egg tier you can track and repeatedly return. The documented radar ladder runs from Advanced Radar for Rare eggs at $50 to Eternal Radar for Ethereal eggs at $30M. Higher egg Luck is a catalog field, not a proven pet probability; it does not by itself justify a riskier route or a more expensive radar.

Compare tracking access before chasing a rarity name

Rare with a capital R is one specific egg category; players also use “rare eggs” to mean all hard-to-find eggs. The table separates those categories and pairs each with its documented radar. Buying Magic Radar for a Rare-tier target would mix two different tracking tiers.

Prices come from Gears revision 578 and agree with a separate screenshot-based radar guide. The current shop still settles what you can purchase today. Activation duration and toggling reports disagree, so the table compares category and price without promising how long one purchase remains active.

Value a completed return over an impressive sighting

For two eggs you can identify, compare distance home, obstacles and whether an empty nest is ready. A lower-Luck egg you bring home is a completed hatch opportunity; a higher-Luck egg that breaks on the way back is not. Make a nearby return reliable before increasing search distance.

Radar access changes the search problem, not the carrying problem. Use the matching tool to narrow the search, then check the route from the egg to your own plot. If the return repeatedly fails, spend attention on the mount or path before treating a more expensive radar as the solution.

Use Luck to compare records, not forecast a pet

The named Ethereal records list Black Hole at 100B Luck, Solaris at 300B and Cherub at 1T. That orders the documented field, but it does not establish a threefold Phoenix chance for Solaris versus Black Hole. The source does not supply a probability formula or a named pet pool.

Choose a higher tier when its tracking cost and return route fit your account. Keep the intended result concrete: another secured hatch, a new egg identification, or a stronger mount if the hatch provides one. Do not set a guaranteed Dragon outcome based solely on the egg’s Luck value.

Compare radar hunting tiers: common questions

Does Eternal Radar find every rare-looking egg?

The documented match is Ethereal eggs. Rare, Epic, Legendary, Mythic and Divine have their own matching radar tiers.

Is Cherub always worth more than Black Hole?

Cherub has the higher recorded Luck field, but the best hunt also depends on the route you can complete. No verified pet pool or payout value establishes a universal return on the hunt.
