How trading works in Creatures of Sonaria

Last updated: November 6, 2026

Trading is where Sonaria stops being only a survival game and becomes an economy. Almost everything a player owns can change hands: species, stored slots, and the mush that prices them all. This guide explains how a trade actually runs, what the pieces are called, and how experienced traders check a deal before they accept it, so your first trades are boring in the best possible way.

The currency: mush

Mush is the money. You earn it through play, you spend it in the trade world, and every creature price you will ever be quoted is a mush figure. When someone in chat says a creature goes for 50k, they mean 50,000 mush. Because mush is earned slowly and spent instantly, it holds its value as the measuring stick of the whole market, and it is the unit this entire site uses for values.

Species, slots and stored creatures

Three kinds of thing move in a Sonaria trade. A species unlock lets the receiver play as that creature. A stored slot carries a specific grown creature, with whatever traits that copy has, and subspecies move only as stored slots. That distinction matters for pricing: a species price and a stored slot price for the same name are related but not identical, and a copy with desirable traits can be worth more than the plain list figure for its name. Always ask which of the two you are actually being offered.

How a trade runs

Trades happen player to player through the in game trade system, most busily in the trade world where traders gather. One player opens a trade with another, both sides place their offers into the window, and the trade completes only when both sides accept what is in front of them. That last point is the whole safety model: nothing leaves your account until you accept the final window, so the final window is the one to read slowly. Names, quantities and the mush total all deserve a letter by letter check, because the oldest trick in the trade world is swapping a lookalike offer at the last moment.

Pricing a deal before you accept

Serious traders price both sides in mush and compare totals, which is exactly what the trade calculator on this site automates. Add your offer and theirs, read the totals, and treat anything inside a 10 percent gap as fair. Then apply the demand test: a total built from high demand creatures is worth more in practice than the same total built from creatures nobody is buying, because you can sell the first set onward and will be stuck holding the second. The values list shows both numbers side by side for all 493 creatures.

Rules that keep you safe

Never trade in two steps. Never accept a promise that the rest comes after. Never follow a deal out of the trade window into a private arrangement, and never rush because the other side says another buyer is waiting. Check every price on a list that dates its checks, the way this site does, and walk away from any trade you cannot price. Sonaria has thousands of honest traders; the one pressuring you is telling you who he is.

Start small, in the price band where a mistake costs hundreds of mush instead of hundreds of thousands, and climb as your eye improves. The market rewards patience more reliably than it rewards speed.
