Hatching-tide 2026 feedback

This mini-game rocks. Please bring it back again next year.

This year's seasonal events have shown marked improvement. Please keep experimenting. It has been effective.

I request actual highscores and a server wide highscore board for such events.

The mini-game was fun, though the rewards themselves left a lot to be desired since I won't be using any of the things I farmed all those eggs for.

I found the minigame tedious and unfun and the abysmal payouts are especially ass when you have bilateral wrist tendonitis and are unwilling to cause a disabling flareup chasing hi score for a marginally better payout.

My highest score paid out over 100 eggs, you need 200 for all the non-housing rewards, if you are making at least ~5000 per run, you should only need 4 or so runs for all the glasses, the highest score I've seen got over 200 eggs in one run.

The exact payout rules seem to be 1 egg per 100 points, rounded up, so if you get 10,431 points, you get 105 eggs.

The event is great and easy enough to get all the rewards but...why isn't there a male version of glasses to be had? Seems to only cater to females for glamour. When you first speak with Herb, he is wearing a cool pair of male sunglasses, but they aren't available.

You mean the Bold-rimmed glasses?

I think the event is fun but I don't really care for the rewards this time around.

There is no leaderboard for the event right?

The event glasses don't cater to anyone except people who like goofy party glasses and maybe the Eorzean equivalent of Elton John. Which is fine, shove them in the armoire and never touch them again. The mini-game is fun and I have hundreds of eggs I won't spend because I keep playing it.
