I didn't know if this was mentioned on the forums yet... or if it was even capable last year becuase I didn't participate last year because i thought it was pretty lame... This year I participated becuase My mages have nothing in their ammo slot so the Fortune Egg is a little something extra. Anyway, did you know you can Harvest Eggs? i wonder if you can mine them or lumberjack them... I would hate to sit there at a mining point and lose 3 pickaxes to only come out with a "E" Egg or something. I was harvesting in Giddeus and got 4 eggs in the same trip. I can't remember how often I got them... i was out there for a while. Starting with 10/60 inv means you have a lot of room to fill. Anyway, didn't know if you could do that last year.

ok does anyone know how to get the throwing Egg that gives you mp+1%? or how to get the Happy egg that gives you HP+1% please tell!!! i really wanna kow ive been waiting for this all year long >.<

[Marklar]

hmm i made about 100k on this event last year. lets see what i can rack up this year

[Ceiblo]

nevermind lol i just read all the post now i know how to get the throwing eggs....but what about V A N D I E L i understand that if you trade it in sandy u get the flower egg but what do you get for the other nations?

[dawnfire]

according to Alla's forum (and it makes sense) to get the MH eggs, you gotta trade the first 5 letters of a region's name, but that region has to be under some country's control or else you get the costume thing. which MH egg you get depends on which country is in charge of the region you use.

examples:

Ronfaure = RONFA (sandy control usually...will get wing egg)
Valdeaunia = VALDE (if windy controls it, you get flower egg)
Derfland = DERFL

and so on...

Looks like that's what people are doing to get the eggs. ^^

[Lokki]

What luck, after a conflict war between Sandy and Windy on my server, Windy owns Ronfaure.

Time toupdate first postz0rz!

Darn! x.X;;

While I really enjoy FFXI's holiday events...and I love collecting "non-perishable" prizes from them...I do agree that the events which cause tons of spam and "abuse" of the prizes (i.e. selling them for crazy prices) is really a letdown.

I'm gonna try harder this year to get as many eggs as I can. Those furniture-eggs sound cool, kupo! ^^;

However, I'm close to level 55, and according to recent AH prices, I need over 1mil gil for all the equipment I'll need when I level...and I only have 12k gil!! T.T (after buying Wise Wiz. Anelace, 90k). Although I really hate it when people sell holiday event items....I might have to resort to it myself just to raise money for lv55...

So dishonorable, kupo! I must resist! -.-;;

Oh and by the way...good luck everyone! ^^;

Edit: Dyire I love your avatar!! XD That's so funny.

umm is it the first five letters or 4 because in the new addition on the first post it say five but it only has four letters...

Happy Egg (HP%+) Initial 8

For info on Initial check the first post of this thread

This is freaken horrible. I always wonderd where these eggs came from and now I know. Bastok lag is so bad on ragnrok it takes about 30 seconds for me to move from the Left AH stair case to the bottem of that stare case. I thoguht this was gonna be a fun trading thing. Instead its a bunch of people out for more money. It started at 2k then 3k then 5k then 10k ...why are Ys going for 25k and who is stupid enough to get that cought up to buy one. And what the hell is up with this blue drop..does it even do anything ><. This event just made a new guy very sad. But im getting lucky at least....I got like 4 As from the mog. Hopefully theres still someone in bastok market willing to trade otherwise...im throwing them away....its no fun to sell the things...(yeah I said it..)

[Danielddddd]

:wall:wall:wall:wall:wall:wall:wall:wall:wall:wall:wall:wall Lol this is going the way of Halloween event this is pathetic i liked the "Moogle vs Goblins" and "Twinkling Treant" events better

[Dyire]

Hmm.. WINDU didnt work... can you not do nations?

[Rashutarumnk]

To make the furniture eggs easier to get just do Ronfa(sandy) Gusta(bastok) Sarut(windurst)

[Dyire]

cant do nations to get eggs, got all 3 so im happy :3
now to resell these 100k worth of eggs :3

[Restlesstornado]

i like to point out that 7 of a kind can get you the Fortune Egg and if you do 7 of a kind again you will get happy Egg at least thats what i did.. wonder what i get if i get another 7 of a kinda...?

[Dyire]

I think youll recieve a egg again but not be able rto keep it since you already have em

[Restlesstornado]

hmm might as well try only took me 1 1/2 hours to get both along with +20k in my poket

[Leafix]

Here we go:
I just finished this event and I'm layin' down my info;

First off, to get eggs you must talk to the moogle in your nation. He will give you one per day for free. You can get another one by trading him either a Color Egg or a Party Egg.

Note: If you are in a party you can choose your egg from a list. The list will be the first letter of your party members' name excluding yours. This is a good strategy for getting the letter eggs you want.

(Also Note: Party Egg will get you two more eggs from moogle, where as color egg will only get you one) Both these eggs can be bought in the auction house (Food>>Meat&Eggs), Crafted (Cooking lvl66 - Fire Crystal Distilled Water x1, La Theine Cabbage x1, San d'Orian Carrot x1, Lizard Egg x1)
(Note: Party Egg is the HQ of Color Egg), or bought by some the people around you.

Now it's time to trade some eggs;

You can trade your egg(s) that you got with the people near you (trust me, there are A LOT of people near you XD) You can also bazaar them. People on Odin were selling 1-5k mostly with some others selling 10k or more. Its cheapest to wait a couple game days and stock up on eggs to trade instead of just buying them from people.

-First; You MUST trade the moogle 3 eggs with the first three letters of your name.
EX: My name is Leafix, so I traded L-E-A

You will either recieve chocobo coupons (2-4 in my experiance) or colored drops.

-The "Straight 7" (Fortune Egg)
Trading 7 eggs of the same letter to the moogle will net you the Fortune Egg.
Ex: L-L-L-L-L-L-L
Stats: Ammo slot: DMG: 1 Delay: 777 MP+1% VIT+1 rare/ex

-The "Initial 8" (Happy Egg)
For the Happy Egg you will need to get an egg with the first letter of your name and then the seven that follow in the alphabet.
Ex: L-M-N-O-P-Q-R-S
(If your name starts with a letter like "Y" you would loop back to the start; Y-Z-A-B-C-D-E-F)
Stats: Ammo slot: DMG: 1 Delay: 777 HP+1% VIT+1 rare/ex

-The "Secret Combo" (Wing Egg, Lamp Egg, Flower Egg)
These are all mog house furnishings. To get them you must trade abbreviations of controled areas to the moogle. If you trade V-A-D-E-L to the moogle, you will get the egg furniture of the nation that is in the lead for that week. It's usually easier then to trade G-U-S-T-A for (bastok) Lamp egg, R-O-N-F-A for (sandy) Wing egg, and S-A-R-U-T for (windy) Flower egg. If you trade the letters of an area not under any control you will be turned into a beastman.
Ex of costume effect: If you trade Q-U-F-I-M to the moogle and that area is under beastmen control, you will be turned into a beastman.
This is my experiance with how the secret combo works.
These eggs are Rare/Ex

NOTE: The Egg furnishing, being rare/ex, is not tradeable or bazaarable. Nor can it be sole in the AH. However, for some reason, it can be sent to others through the delivery system at the auction houses. I have tried this by trading it to my mule as well as other people. So, it IS possible to sell these but be careful who you deal with as they could just keep it and not pay you if you send it to them.

There's my input. Thank you for reading this, and remember to have fun with this event. Don't be a greedy n00b and sell all your eggs for 10k+ to others <.< >.>

Edit: After playing around with this quest for a while and getting all of the furniture eggs I had to make some changes

Thanks again ^^

here's my pic of the egg furnatures:

[Brigannd]

Well my total amount of gil I earned has been 320k, damn I love this event, best one ever ^^ But if I hadn't gotten all this money I would be cursing about it and making a big deal over how much it really sucks, lol.
