Do hatchlings change stage into adolescents, and adolescents change into adults automatically when they complete their maturity?

Like, for example, a hatchling that has this:

Maturity: Hatchling (196/648)

Will it grow up immediately when the number reaches 648, or at the stroke of midnight when the server resets daily things (on the same night that it has reached completion, I mean)?

The (x/648) are the hours that the Sylesti has been in the game. (648/648) is when the Sylesti has become an adult. I forgot how many hours is when the Sylesti grows up, but it changes to the next stage at a certain amount of hours each time. I'm sorry if that's kind of confusing. :p

the aging milestones in maturity hours are 72mh when an eggling becomes a hatchling, 216 when a hatchling becomes an adolescent, and 248 when an adolescent becomes an adult

(roughly correlating, on a freshly created egg, with 3 days, 9 days, and 27 days, though the actual amount of real time can be reduced via nurturing for egglings/hatchlings and magical pies for adolescents, so the maturity hours don't correspond exactly to real world time.)

Egglings will stop gaining Maturity hours when they hit 72mh for a period of 24 hours during which you can attend the hatching to help/do not help/ use philter. Once the 24 hours are up they will hatch automatically. After they have hatched, they will add back on the hours for which they were paused (eg, eggling hits 72mh, and player gets to them 8 hours later, eggling's timer will still say "72", but once hatched will swap to "80")

Growth from hatchling to adolescent and adolescent to adult will occur as soon as their mh hits the right mh age

Ah, so the number is the total of hours to grow into an adult, and they grow up in real time when they hit the right amount of hours existing in the game for each stage?

I think I got it, thanks!

hello ysereh,

egglings become hatchlings at 72 or sooner, hatchlings become adolescents at 216 or sooner, and adults at 648. right now it may seem like the sylestis are maturing quickly because of the nurturing contests going on, plus a lot of users come back for festivals only! i think it's like, every 8 correct nurtures decreases the growing time by an hour, but i cant find the reference post right now, so dont quote me on that.

thank you for nurturing my garden btw! i've been nurturing yours in return when i can! :)

Yes- I added a little bit since I realised I should probably clarify it, so you might want to check our last post and see if the little bit I added... uh. adds anything.

I will also add that egglings/hatchlings/wild sylesti found while exploring will basically be any maturity age within their age range (can't be sure but I think the egg/hatchlings can't be directly adjacent to hatching/becoming adolescent; don't think I have ever found an eggling in peeker stage, for example)

Generated pets (starters/essence made) will always begin life at 216mh

Oh, it has more factors involved than I thought, but I think I get it much better now, thank you both!

Yeah, I didn't expect the festival would affect nurtures so much, it completely threw off the rhythm I had in my head for my pets but I'm also happy they're growing up faster, ha ha.

I didn't know eggs would hatch automatically after 24 hours, that is very interesting.

Also thanks for the gardening help too. c:

you're welcome!! and oopsie-- looks like i was late to respond and redundant in my reply! i get all my info from scath anyway as they're super knowledgeable :)

as long as there is space in your stables when your babies grow up so they don't auto release u r good. the tabs get more expensive as you buy more.(i didnt know that when i started)

It's okay!

Oh, yeah, I saw how each tab gets more and more expensive, it's going to take a while to get more space!
