Hatching-tide question

[Jacien]

I can confirm that the quest is bugged, I had to abandon to get the quest. Here's how it worked for me.

Got an egg at around 10pm last night. Abandoned it. Couldn't initiate it again until 4am. Abandoned it, then I just initiated it again at 12pm today. Eastern time zone.

With another person giving me some eggs (and me wasting gil in the wards) I got the Pristine Egg Cap.

I assume that in the future when you complete The Dreamer's Gospel in one of the states, it unlocks the next tier quest for the next tier Egg Cap (they go r10, r15, r20, r30, then r40 if I remember right). Maybe?

Well for me, I can't do the same city's quest right after finishing it. I finished the one in Ul'dah and upon trying to initiate the next one it didn't even give me the "You are unable to receive another Archon egg at this time" message. The NPC still had the ! over his head but he just recited the same line as if I still had the quest.

You can however bring eggs back to the hat giving guy and get the same Pristine hat again.

I think the event will progress as time goes on, culminating sometime in the beginning of May.

[Arcell]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. Since right now all the cities give the same cap, it wouldn't be strange if it changed in a few RL days to the next cap.

What I am wondering is how we get the other pieces of gear the NPC's are wearing? Or is this gear already in the game as in crafters can make it? Anyone know?

I got a second egg after I traded my egg out of my inventory. I gave mine my other character, and when I didn't have an egg, the rhyming Lala (Ul'dah) gave me a new one. So then I traded all three eggs back to the first character, and got a fourth. There was no need to abandon the quest. I'm not sure of the timer to get another egg, as I went to bed after I got the first ones.

Try putting your eggs on your retainer and talking to the quest-giver again, or have a friend hold your eggs for you while you get another.

Edit: This doesn't work for everyone apparently, just had a LS-mate try it, but didn't get a second egg. Could work for some as it did for me, however.

Concerning Different Caps:

I'm still trying to get the quest in Limsa to work for me after I have done Uldah, but it doesn't want to work yet (it's been more than 24 hrs) BUT there are different hats in the dat files. Yellow Gremlin has them all listed. links below.

Egg Caps

Archon Eggs

Hope this might help. If anyone know HOW to get these other hats, PLEASE let us know!

I've already gone quests in both Ul'dah and LL and they give the same hat. I can also confirm that you only get the achievement for completing the quest in one city.

All I can think is that maybe the event will progress as days go by as mentioned in an above post. If not it is pretty silly of them to have added special event items into the game that we cannot access. So whether its bugged or set on a predetermined timer, we will just have to wait and see.

Is the egg they give random? I only get water eggs so far, from the Limsa Lominsa egg-lady. Do i have to run to other cities to get other kind of eggs?

Edit: Also, I can only receive eggs every 12 hours, I tried checking the egg-lady at 4,6 and 8 hours with no results.
