Hatching Tide hats?

[Sorel]

I started in Limsa Lominsa with Motte. She sings the same song as what was posted above. But her assistant, is somewhat more helpful, as Limsa NPCs are more, um ... "direct" in their manner of speech.

Jihli's in Gridania, right?

I got my Archon egg this morning, so once I get my hands on a water egg and earth egg I can finish that quest and move on to Grid. I can copy those lines down at that point.

Ya, she's in Gridania.

I think something is different about getting the other caps, i mean the NPC by the eggs offer only the quest for Pristine Egg Cap (rank 5 quest) it is specifically detailed in quest journal so it's probably impossible to get any other cap through that quest. So somewhere, someplace there must be a trigger to unlock second (and so one) quests that will give you different means of obtaining eggs and that there will be specifically shown that the reward is different cap than the Pristine One.

I have an idea, but I can't really try it out, since I'm work.

Do you think this has anything to do with FFXIV's deities? They mention prayer a lot. Also, there are 12 eggs and 12 deities. I wonder if we're supposed to be bring eggs to the altars or something.

I mean, the definition of Archon is literally, "A high-official, ruler, or authoritative figure" and comes from the Greek word arkhein which means 'to rule.'

So, if you take take 'Archon Earth Egg' or 'Archon Lightning Egg' in this context, it means 'Earth Ruler Egg' and 'Lightning Ruler Egg.'

I know one of the eggs you get from this is the Earth Egg. Has anyone tried going to Nophica's Alter in Gridania?

I'm looking at the maps now, trying to see if there's a specific place that we have to go or travel to that makes sense with the clues we're given, but that's all I can think of right now.

That might be the case, we all know this Event is heavy based on lore (Eorzea world, history etc. call it how much you want) so it might be something to do with this. But where are those altars? I don't recall anything i saw in the game might actually be an altar...

Beside i though it might be something with gods, or even something... The whole thing of warming the eggs goes through my head but there is one contradiction with it...

We are getting our eggs only while accepting the quest for Pristine Egg Cap... which gives the materials for that egg cap and when collected trade those for the cap...

So there is one big hole in here... Since the quest must have been somehow transformed in the journal to give other reward than this one... and i don't know if that's even possible :/

PS: About warming eggs, if we have some kind of volcano or something I even though maybe put the eggs there somewhere or find something up there but I don't recall we have anything like that available now.

PS2: After getting my pristine egg cap i went through 70~80% of Gridania (City) searching for an eggs (I though maybe some eggs will lie on the floor or something - especially when you get pristine egg cap and do the first quest) but i haven't found anything... I mainly only done that because there was something on lodestone about kids going through the town and gathering eggs.

[Suzaku]

On a random note...anyone found any dodo nests out and about? I assume the answer to be "no" but those are apparently the source of a lot of the eggs in the lodestone lore post. I know people have said that they've been killing spriggans and dodos to no avail, but I didn't know if anyone had come across a location to poke for eggs.

I really like it when it's the case, events heavily based on lore.

[Martyr]

You know, I actually kind of hope that they're not planning on giving us an update. It's been too long since I've actually hit a puzzle in a game that frustrates the hell out of everybody, then everyone comes together, slowly works on it, then somebody hits their head in a flash of inspiration and everyone goes, "Holy crap! Why didn't I think of that?"

But, then again, I'm in this more for the puzzle than the hats....I have zero interest in wearing an egg on my head. Wouldn't fit my character at all. X.x

[Suzaku]

My only concern is that the limited timeframe of the event might not be enough in which to figure it out. Especially if more of it requires 8-12 hour wait times like the eggs for the Pristine hat.

That aside, I much prefer events that require thinking and figuring to "push button, get reward"

[Zahak]

Maybe as you advance you get eggs quicker :P
