From the description in the POL news, it seems like there might be more combinations than last year. I hope so!

For people who did it last year and got Happy/Fortune eggs, what do you get this year?

Demetres from Alla wrote: For those who remember last year's Easter Egg Event, many aspects of this event are the same: you talk to the moogle, get eggs, trade in assorted combinations for goodies. There are 3 new furnishings (based on the tree starting cities) if you find the "hidden" combinations, and lots of new ways to get eggs!

Getting Eggs:Every game day (Vana'diel day that is), you can talk to the moogle and get one initial egg, with a random letter.
One way to get an egg you need is to group with other people before you talk to the Moogle, you may then choose an egg based on the initials of the people you are grouped with (excluding yourself), so if I, Demetress, group with Alphamale and Berzerky, I can choose a A Egg or a B Egg, Alphamale can choose a B or D egg and Berzerky can choose between A end D eggs.

You may also get one extra egg per Vanadiel day by trading 12 Bird Eggs, 12 Hard-Boiled Eggs, 6 Lizard Eggs or 1 Colored Egg to the moogle.

Trading a Lucky Egg to a Moogle will get you 3 extra eggs. These eggs will be random. You may also get eggs by harvesting, logging or mining. (Odd, isn't it?)

Egg Combinations:
The first thing you will need to do is collect the first three letters of your name. So, for Demetress, I need a D, E and M Egg. Trade these in with the moogle (you may only turn in one combination per day), and you will get Chocobo Tickets or Colored Drops.

The next combination you'll want to try for are the 7 of a Kind or the 8 Initial Straight. The 7 of a Kind is just as it sounds, 7 of the same letter. The 8 Initial Straight begins with the first letter of your name. So, for Demetress, I would need an D, E, F, G, H, I, J and K egg. Trading for the Initial 8 will get you a Happy Egg, and trading for the 7 of a Kind will get you a Fortune Egg.

IMPORTANT NOTE: for those of you who have a Happy Egg or Fortune Egg from last year, apparently if you try to complete the 7 of a Kind or the 8 Initial Straight, you will not get a reward, and the Moogle will still take your eggs.

Hidden Combinations:
Finding the hidden combinations for each city will get you the different egg furniture pieces, presumably. They are, for Windurst a Flower Egg, for Bastok a Lamp Egg and for San d'Oria a Wing Egg.

Northern San d'Oria
Southern San d'Oria

Bastok Mines
Bastok Markets

VADEL gets you the Wing Egg.

Posted: **Fri Mar 25, 2005 3:17 pm**

Actually, from the posts I've read about it on Allakhazam, VADEL gets you a furniture egg, but it's not consistently the same one. They're still trying to figure out what the determining factors are, but there seem to be people who have gotten one of each of the furniture eggs by using VADEL on their servers. It seems the difference is across servers, as some people get the Wing Egg for VADEL, while others get the Flower or Lamp Egg.

Is this the festival of spam?

/shout Anyone want to trade an 'I' egg for an 'N'?

Posted: **Fri Mar 25, 2005 5:52 pm**

Umm....I wonder how I should do the 8 Initial Straight since my name starts with Y.

Would it be like: Y, Z, A, B ,C, D, E, F?

Got Fortune Egg, but I was lazy and spent a lot of money....

Posted: **Fri Mar 25, 2005 8:03 pm**

The letters wrap. Yes, you need Y-F. Side note, you can make alot of money off this if you have patience. In Cerberus, eggs in Sandy are going for on average 5k per from bazaars.

Herrre's the scoup:

It's the 1st 5 letters of a region of vanadiel. Forrr example: GUSTA = Gustaberg

You get the furnature of whatever nation contrrrols the area. If the area is under beastmen contrrrol, you get turned into a mob.

no I tried VANADIEL and it just took VADEL

Posted: **Sat Mar 26, 2005 5:01 am**

That's because VALDE = Valdeaunia

Posted: **Sat Mar 26, 2005 5:25 am**

Heh, the egg hunt is good for one thing I've found thus far: Getting me closer to my Spike Necklace and Republic Knuckles.

http://fraidycats.cjb.net has some information and pics of all 3 of the easter egg furniture.

Posted: **Sat Mar 26, 2005 11:28 pm**

This is the 3 eggs(from easter '05) in front of the 3 trees(from X-mas '04)

from left to right they are {Windurst} {Bastok} and {San d'Oria}

Posted: **Sun Mar 27, 2005 12:56 am**

that's so cool...makes we wish i had had enough safe space and everything too, because I had to toss my trees

I wanna get all the event items and keep them all up in my room and look at them every time i walk into my house...something i'm going to have to get high level woodworking for so i can make myself some high-storage furniture, and we could do garrisons and i'll get a manequin and that'll help hold some of my equipment...that'll be so great...I hope I can get that done by next Christmas

Posted: **Sun Mar 27, 2005 1:41 am**

Each Tree gave 1 storage space so you didn't really lose any space.

Each egg gives you one storage space too

Posted: **Sun Mar 27, 2005 7:00 am**

Why is it that Windurst always has the coolest items?

Bwahaha... actually, from the Christmas event I liked the San d'Orian and Windurst tree most, followed by the Bastok tree. For these Furniture Eggs, I like Windurst, then Bastok (shocker!) then San d'Oria. San d'Oria's doesn't even glow! P-shaaaw!

It's really that all my junk I had I needed to access from my rent-a-rooms too....at the time I didnt have an airship pass or anything so I didnt have any way to get back to windurst any faster than half an hour, something i really didnt want to do. Now I wish I had kept those trees because they look nice, I wanna collect all the event items (I'm a Rare Item Hunter from .Hack!

) and I can get to my house really quick now, and I found an effective way of making safe space without throwing anything away....I'll let ya guess a bit before i tell you

Posted: **Sun Mar 27, 2005 2:59 pm**

Some Auction Houses have the Christmas Trees for sale under Furnishings... you might be out 30k (typically 10k per tree on Alexander), but you'll have your pretties back!

Posted: **Mon Mar 28, 2005 1:22 am**

You shove it all the moogles ass, right?

On a different light...I got all my easter {egg} {furnishings} {today}. So I'm a happy neko

Posted: **Mon Mar 28, 2005 2:35 pm**

1:......no

2: That rocks...I cant get on this weekend really cuz my bro is taking it..

Posted: **Mon Mar 28, 2005 6:54 pm**

I decided not to try and get the Sandy egg, only because, like Josie said, it doesnt glow heh. I got the Bastok egg and the Windy egg, and im satisfied with that.
