Egg Hunt

Anyone figures out the full details of what to do on this?

Well I imagine you hunt eggs.

In all seriousness though, I haven't been on yet but I imagine you go to the NPC and get an egg and then trade it somewhere for an Egg cap. I don't know about the elemental eggs though, those confuse me.

if you follow the quest, it ll tell you to talk the the NPC nearby

and you need :

1. Archon egg
1. Earth Archon egg
1. Lightning Archon egg
1. Water Archon egg

to exchange for a cap

How are we supposed to get the other Eggs? Buy them from people? Have a chance to get them from other NPCs? Any clues or ideas?

as far as I know is you ll beable to get new egg every time anima regen, but not sure because need to test it, but those egg are tradeable

I picked up the quest yesterday and got a water egg, today, about 12 hours later, I talked to the NPC again and gave me a Archon egg. Maybe this has a 12 hour cd and it's just random on what egg you get. I'm not sure, but that's what I'm leaning towards.

All the old bell events had 8 hour cooldowns, and the dev team does have a certain affinity for the number 8. I'd suggest it's at least 8 hours.

Anyone figure out how to get the other helms other than just pristine?

This is pretty much what I'd like to know. I'm wondering if you need to finish the pristine egg quest in all three cities to move to the next.

Or since its still a week from Easter, every few days another cap is the reward. And they ask for different kind of eggs. I dunno lool but I got my pristine already :S

is it me or i think this event sucks.

If you think it sucks because it's difficult
I'm getting kind of sick of the binary between people who want there to be a lot of hand holding and people who want there to be no hand holding. Seriously, both sides, and I'm going to break my civility rule here: Shut the fuck up, already.

If you think it sucks because of the theme
However, if you think it sucks based on the theme and items, that's just Easter really: Easter (pagan easter, not the Jesus one) is about fertility and the rebirth of nature after the death of winter - eggs, rabbits, and chocolate. So - what else do you do but an egg hunt?

If you think it sucks because of the items
If the items are what you dislike, though, that's just the way the cookie crumbles I guess. Personally, I do love me some goofy items - I bet people would love them a lot more if they had an Event Item Storage NPC however...

If it's anything other than that, you are putting waaaay too much thought into something you would be better off just ignoring... I'd recommend that.

Its not you, its me or you think this event sucks. Is it only you or do I?

hmm, i just noticed that here: http://www.ffxivpro.com/search/item/?update=2011-04-14 it shows that the different egg caps go up in level, so im guessing you have to be the same level or higher to get the quest for each cap.

I don't think so. I've accepted the quest now as a R42 fisher and I still only got the pristine cap. I am trying it again though, I noticed once you've handed it in the !'s stay. Keep going I guess.

Easter Event: I just got my first helm. I have some thoughts of how to get the others. Please respond if you can confirm.

(1) Wearing the Pristine Egg Cap while in a party will yeild 2 eggs. (Something similar was in FFXIV Easter Event)

(2) Having 4 Earth Eggs in your inventory in Ul'dah will yeild the Ul'dah cap

(3) Having 4 Water Eggs in your inventory in Limsa will yeild the Limsa cap

(4) Having 4 Lightning Eggs in your inventory in Gridania will yeild the Gridania cap

I imagine you might also have to have the Pristine Cap on when talking to the npc's in towns for the upgraded hats but also unsure of this.

there is a big with the event tied to anima regen (idk if it was fixed... I didn't know if it was tied to the event so i made a seperate thread. But its also on the lodestone. Too

Just trying to help, good luck in the event.

PS events should be easy its not like its endgame content, its gone after a week or 2 and everyone should get the items.

Got my white egg cap, going to wait til I can get another to see if anything changes.

The only thing is Gracious, the other caps require other base Archon eggs that we don't have access to. Also there exist archon eggs for all elements.

Have you tested this? And if you have to have the base archon eggs again, will it be added to inventory random again? This event has me very confused. Thanks for your input. I'm back to square one I think ; ;

Speaking of eggs, how are you people getting those easter theme avatars in your sigs?

If anyone in besaid wants to try creating mules and trading back and forth eggs to see what results we can get, drop me a tell at majidah sihaam

Well I didn't do anything and it just popped up after I got my Pristine Egg Cap. I'm assuming once you finish one of the quests and lodestone updates your character, it changes to you wearing the Egg cap.

Okay think I got it figured out.

After you get your first egg helm you can flag another quest in another city. The egg NPC in Grid now has a ! over their head and they'd give me an egg if it wasn't for the anima glitch.

Right but that one also gives you the same Pristine Egg cap. I've done two so far, same deal. Some people in other threads have done all 3 and no dice.

Bleh, there goes that theory.

I can't even complete the quest in a second city. I have all the eggs needed but I can't complete it in Gridania (completed the Limsa one already). I'm guessing something else is going to trigger in this event sometime soon and allow us to progress more. Something might happen more towards Easter.
