The Egg Hunt Egg-stravaganza!

Is everyone enjoying the warm days? Even the carrion worms are wiggling out of their earthen homes to enjoy a little sun! That must mean that it's nearly time once again for the egg-citing Egg Hunt Egg-stravaganza!

The rules are simple. Just collect "initial eggs" and trade them with your friends for different "combinations" ! Each egg has a letter inscribed on it. Your goal is to mix and match these letters to spell out certain words.

Rumor has it that a Windurstian hermit designed the game to repair his relationship with the Parliament of Patriarchs, which was very stern at the time...

Well, the truth of the rumor is debatable, but the fact remains that the egg hunt, which seems to be a simple game at first, actually requires the keen insight, negotiation skills, and far-reaching personal connections that are said to be necessary for a job at the Parliament of Patriarchs.

So get together with your fellow aspiring members of parliament (or adventurers) and gather the eggs for that perfect combination!

How to Play
Start by collecting initial eggs, each inscribed with a letter.

The easiest way to do this is by speaking to one of the festival moogles in each area where the event is held, but you can only collect one egg each day using this method. If you are in a party when you speak with the moogle, you will have the opportunity to select the type of egg you want based on the initials of your party's other members.

You can collect even more initial eggs by trading other types of eggs you may have on hand to any of the moogles in the three nations. Just remember that these egg exchanges are also limited to one per day (per nation). How many initial eggs you receive varies depending on the quantities and varieties of eggs you trade, so if you are not happy with what you get once, keep trying!

Once you've collected enough eggs, start exchanging with other adventurers and try making a "combination." The most basic one is called a "First 3." When you have the three initial eggs necessary for this combo, trade them to one of the moogles and collect your prize!

After a "First 3," try building an "Initial Straight 8" or a "7 of a Kind." The more you make, the more presents you'll take home!

Don't forget that you'll have to trade in a "First 3" before you can trade in any other combos. Think of it as a sort of preliminary test!

And for those of you who are looking for a real challenge, try discovering different, more exotic combinations. The moogles are usually reluctant to give out any of their classified information, but maybe if you are persistent enough, one will let you in on a secret or two! Make it a point to talk to them as often as possible!

Please note that all "new adventurers" will be required to wait one Vana'diel day before being eligible to receive initial eggs.

The reward egg is kinda nice. Or it was last couple times.
 
Happy Egg lasted me as an equipment item until 70. Yeah... the rewards can be very nice.
 
All I remember last year was getting about eight Z's, an X and a V. >.> Of course, I had only started playing about two days before it started - so for all I know I was doing something horridly wrong! ^^

hah, well if SE wanted to stay traditional there would be no bottom half to the Yukata. In Japan Yukata is a full body summer kimono.

Here is pretty ghetto googled webpage. If you wanted more info I could recommond a text book, but Im sure you (as I didn't) would want to drop the $80. http://www.japanesekimono.com/yukata_kimono.htm
 
Yay! I was so happy to receive the email from Square this morning! I have been waiting ages for this event as I missed properly taking part in this for three years and this time I am definately getting my egg!!!
:biggrin:
 
I can't wait for this, i joined last year after it ended and missed my chance, this year i want that egg!!!
 
the egg you linked to is most likely from sea... the picture for it is one that belongs to sea-type drops.
 
SE sucks.
