What Is Gold Craft?
Gold Craft is the Pet merge machine in Get Tall and Fall. It unlocks when you conquer World 1 Tower 5 (20 Trophies) — the final Starting Zone tower. Once unlocked, access is permanent.
Gold Craft function: merge 5 duplicate Pets of the same type and level into 1 higher-level Pet with a larger coin multiplier. Maximum merge level is currently Level 3.
Why Gold Craft matters: base Pets from Eggs have modest multipliers. Merged Pets are dramatically stronger — a Level 3 merged Pet is often 3–5x stronger than its unmerged version. Gold Craft bridges mid-game and endgame income.
Location: World 1 lobby area, accessible after Tower 5. Interact with the machine (Left Click / Interact Button) to open the merge UI.
Merge Mechanics & Rules
Gold Craft merging has specific rules:
| Rule | Details |
|---|---|
| Input | 5 identical Pets (same name, same level) |
| Output | 1 next-level Pet (Level 0→1, 1→2, 2→3) |
| Max Level | Level 3 (current cap) |
| Reversible? | No — merges are permanent |
| Multiplier Boost | Each level significantly increases coin multiplier |
Example merge path:
- Hatch 5 Basic Dogs (Level 0) → Merge → 1 Level 1 Dog (higher multiplier)
- Hatch 4 more Basic Dogs + use Level 1 → 5 Level 1 Dogs → Merge → 1 Level 2 Dog
- Repeat → Level 3 Dog (current maximum power)
Total Basic Eggs for one Level 3 Pet: 5 + 25 + 125 = 155 Basic Eggs (155 Trophies) — if every hatch is the same type. Reality is less because you accumulate duplicates from regular hatching.
Optimal Merge Strategy
Not every Pet is worth merging. Strategic approach:
Which Pets to Merge:
- Merge Pets with the highest base multiplier in their type
- Focus on one Pet type — gathering 5 duplicates is faster
- Do not merge low-multiplier common Pets — save Trophies for better Egg hatches
- Check community Pet tier list before committing to a merge path
When to Merge:
- Level 0 → 1: Mid early (World 2). Merge best duplicates ASAP for initial boost.
- Level 1 → 2: Mid game (World 3). When Trophy income supports Silver/Gold Egg hatching.
- Level 2 → 3: Late game (Worlds 4–5). When Diamond/Rainbow Egg hatching is routine.
When NOT to Merge:
- Only 3–4 duplicates — wait until you have 5
- Do not merge low-tier Pets when higher World Eggs are about to unlock
- Do not merge when pushing World savings — Egg hatching for merge material counts against World budget
Gold Craft Progression Timeline
Ideal Gold Craft progression parallel to World unlocks:
Week 1 (World 1 focus):
- Reach Tower 5 → unlock Gold Craft
- Hatch 10–15 Basic Eggs, identify best Pet type
- First Level 0→1 merge if you have 5 duplicates
- Continue saving Trophies for World 2 (1,700)
Week 2 (Worlds 2–3):
- Unlock World 2, upgrade fruits
- Hatch Silver/Gold Eggs for better base Pets
- Merge best Pet type to Level 1→2
- Unlock World 3 (5,000 Trophies)
Week 3+ (Worlds 4–5 endgame):
- Hatch Diamond/Rainbow Eggs
- Merge top Pet type to Level 2→3
- Multiple Level 3 Pets equipped with +3 Pet Equip
- Unlock World 5 (50,000 Trophies) with full merged Pet team
Gold Craft is a long-term investment — the first merge only modestly boosts income, but a Level 3 merged Pet team transforms endgame earnings. Start merging early, but do not sacrifice World savings for rushed merges.
