Trading in Break a Lucky Block opens up a whole new dimension of the game. Instead of relying purely on luck and grinding, you can strategically acquire specific pets and items by exchanging with other players.
But trading also comes with risks. Scammers exist, values fluctuate, and one bad trade can set you back hours of progress. This guide covers everything you need to know about trading safely and effectively.
How the Trading System Works
Basic Trade Mechanics
Trading in most Roblox games follows a standard pattern:
- Initiate – Click on another player and select “Trade”
- Wait for acceptance – They choose to accept or decline the request
- Add items – Both players add items/pets to their side of the trade
- Review – Both players see what’s being exchanged
- Ready up – Both players click “Ready” when satisfied
- Confirm – Final confirmation before trade executes
- Complete – Items swap ownership
Trade Interface
Most trade windows show:
- Your side (what you’re offering)
- Their side (what they’re offering)
- Ready buttons for both players
- Cancel option at any time before final confirm
- Value display (if the game shows item values)
What Can Be Traded
Typically tradeable:
- Most pets
- Regular items
- Currencies (depends on game)
- Unequipped equipment
Typically NOT tradeable:
- Account-bound items
- Robux-purchased exclusive items
- Achievement rewards
- Equipped items (must unequip first)
Understanding Pet Values
The key to successful trading is knowing what things are worth.
Rarity Tier Values
Base values by rarity (relative scale):
| Rarity | Base Value Range |
|---|---|
| Common | 1-10 |
| Uncommon | 10-50 |
| Rare | 50-200 |
| Epic | 200-1,000 |
| Legendary | 1,000-10,000 |
| Mythic | 10,000-100,000+ |
Demand Affects Value
Pure rarity isn’t everything. Demand matters:
High demand (value UP):
- Pets with Luck bonuses
- Pets with auto-click/auto-collect
- Limited event pets
- Aesthetically popular pets
Low demand (value DOWN):
- Pets with weak abilities
- Common/ugly aesthetics
- Easily farmable pets
- Stats nobody wants
A Legendary pet with +50% Luck might be worth more than a Mythic pet with +30% Walk Speed.
Limited/Event Pet Premium
Event-exclusive pets often hold special value:
- Can’t be farmed after event ends
- Rarity increases over time
- Collectors pay premiums
- Can be 5-10x normal rarity value
How to Research Values
Before trading:
- Ask in chat – “What’s [pet name] worth?”
- Check Discord – Most games have value lists
- Observe trades – Watch what others exchange
- Ask friends – Experienced players know values
- Search YouTube – Value videos exist for popular games
Never trade blindly. Five minutes of research can save hours of regret.
How to Get Good Trades
Trading is part economics, part psychology. Here’s how to come out ahead:
Be Patient
The best trades come to those who wait. Don’t accept the first offer—put your item up and see who bites. Multiple interested traders = leverage.
Know What You Want
Before trading, decide:
- What specific pet/item do you need?
- What’s the maximum you’re willing to pay?
- What do you have that others want?
Targeted trading beats random trading.
Advertise Properly
In chat or trading hubs:
- State clearly what you have
- State clearly what you want
- Be polite (rude players get ignored)
Example: “Trading Epic Crystal Cat (Luck) for any auto-click pet”
Negotiate
Most trades involve negotiation:
- Start with a slightly lower offer
- Be willing to add small items as sweeteners
- Know your walk-away point
- Don’t insult their offers (just decline)
Trade in Busy Servers
More players = more potential traders:
- Trading-specific servers (if they exist)
- Peak playing hours
- Event periods (everyone’s trading event items)
Build Reputation
Regular traders develop reputations:
- Honest dealings = more trade requests
- Known scammers get avoided
- Being helpful builds trust
Common Scam Tactics (And How to Avoid Them)
Scammers are unfortunately common. Know these tactics:
The “Trust Trade” Scam
How it works:
- “Trade me your pet first, then I’ll give you mine”
- They promise to trade back after you give first
Reality: They take your item and leave.
Prevention: NEVER do trust trades. All legitimate trades happen in the trade window simultaneously.
The Switcheroo
How it works:
- They show a valuable pet, you agree to trade
- At the last second before confirm, they swap to a similar-looking but worthless pet
Reality: You end up with a Common instead of Legendary.
Prevention: Always double-check the final trade screen before clicking confirm. Look at pet names, not just images.
The Cross-Game Scam
How it works:
- “Trade me this pet, and I’ll give you stuff in [another game]”
Reality: They get your item and never deliver the other game’s items.
Prevention: Never trade across games. No exceptions.
The Robux Scam
How it works:
- “I’ll give you Robux for your pet”
Reality: You can’t trade Robux in-game. They take your item and vanish.
Prevention: Robux trades are impossible in trade windows. It’s always a scam.
The Middleman Scam
How it works:
- “My friend will hold items for safety”
- Or: “Use this ’trusted’ middleman Discord account”
Reality: The “middleman” steals from both parties.
Prevention: Never use middlemen. The trade window exists for a reason.
The Guilt Trip
How it works:
- “Please, I really need this, I’ll give you something later”
- “My friend is sick and really wants this pet”
Reality: Emotional manipulation to get free items.
Prevention: Don’t trade based on feelings. Fair trades only.
The “I’m Recording” Pressure
How it works:
- “I’m a YouTuber, if you give me items I’ll shout you out”
Reality: Rarely legitimate. Even if true, exposure isn’t worth valuable items.
Prevention: Trade based on value, not promises.
If You Get Scammed
It happens. Here’s what to do:
1. Document Everything
- Screenshot the trade (if you still can)
- Note their username
- Record what was taken
2. Report the Scammer
- Use Roblox’s report function
- Report in-game if available
- Submit to game’s Discord with evidence
3. Don’t Chase
- Don’t harass the scammer (you can get banned)
- Don’t try to “scam them back”
- Learn and move on
4. Accept the Loss
Harsh truth: Most scammed items are not recoverable. Roblox and game developers rarely reverse trades. Focus on recovering through legitimate play.
5. Share the Scammer’s Info
Warn others about the scammer’s username in appropriate channels. Protect the community.
Trading Terminology
Know the lingo:
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| W | Win (good trade for you) |
| L | Loss (bad trade for you) |
| F | Fair trade |
| NFT | Not For Trade |
| LF | Looking For |
| FT | For Trade |
| OP | Overpay (giving more than value) |
| UP | Underpay (offering less than value) |
| Add | Request for more items (“can you add?”) |
| NLF | Not Looking For |
| DM | Direct message (for private trades) |
Example trades:
- “W! You got a great deal”
- “That’s an L, don’t do it”
- “LF auto-click pets, FT any Epic”

Be a good trader:

Trading FAQ
“How do I know if a trade is fair?”
Research both items’ values before trading. If you’re unsure, ask for opinions. “Is this F or L?” in chat gets responses.
“Someone offered a lot for my item—should I take it?”
Be suspicious of offers that seem too good. Double-check what they’re actually trading. It might be a switcheroo setup.
“I accidentally traded the wrong item. Can I get it back?”
Usually no. Trades are final. Always double-check before confirming.
“Is it okay to counteroffer?”
Absolutely. Negotiation is expected. Just be respectful.
“Where do I find traders?”
- In-game trading areas/servers
- Game’s Discord trading channels
- Busy public servers during peak hours
