Egg Hunt Egg-stravagana!

Apr. 2, 2007 01:00 [PDT]
From: FINAL FANTASY XI

Egg Hunt Egg-stravagana!

The Egg Hunt Egg-stravagana is a yearly event where adventurers collect special items known as initial eggs and try to form various combinations of letters.

Every port of Vana\'diel is abuzz with rumors of the new prizes being offered during this year\'s event. One of these prizes is the curious egg helm. Crafted by the finest goldsmiths, these helmets were commissioned by renowned gourmand Royaulais Chalaimbille II, Twelfth King of San d\'Oria. They were created for the sole purpose of properly equipping his Soft-boiled Knights as they quested for the most delectable eggs in the kingdom.
The second prize is rumored to be the exquisite jeweled egg, a scintillating masterpiece crafted with the most advanced refraction techniques the Grand Duchy of Jeuno has to offer.

Recreate the egg hunts of the past with your own band of soft-boiled knights and see how many letter combinations you can make!

Before you know it, you too could be standing proud--or at least standing--with your very own egg helm!

How to Play

1. Collect Initial Eggs!
During the Egg Hunt, adventurers can receive a random initial egg from the festival moogles once every Vana\'diel day. If you are in a party when speaking with a moogle, it is possible to choose an initial egg inscribed with the first letter of a party member\'s name. And if that party member happens to be wearing an egg helm...

*Newly created characters must wait at least one Vana\'diel day before they can receive an initial egg.

And for those who just can\'t get enough...
Try trading any type of egg to a moogle. Once every Vana\'diel day, you might find that the moogles will gift you with an initial egg in exchange for a
ormal egg.

2. Make a First 3 Combination!
First of all, try collecting the initial eggs required to make a First 3 combination. Once you have the eggs you need, trade them to a moogle to receive your prize!

First 3: Collect the first three letters of your character\'s name
For egg-sample, a character with the name of Moogle would need to collect one [M], and two [O] initial eggs.

3. Take it to the Next Level!
Once you\'ve made a First 3, why not try something more difficult, like an Initial Straight 8, or a 7 of a Kind?
And for those of you who are looking for a real challenge, try discovering different, more egg-citing combinations. Maybe you\'ll find the right combination to take home the coveted jeweled egg!
*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!

Initial Straight 8: The first letter of your character\'s name, followed by the next seven letters in the alphabet
For egg-sample, a character with the name of Moogle would need an [M], as well as an [N], [O], [P], [Q], [R], [S], and [T].

7 of a Kind: Seven initial eggs with the same letter
For egg-sample, you could choose to collect seven [A] initial eggs.

Hints
The moogles are usually egg-stremely 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!

Event Details
This event is scheduled to commence on April 2, 2007 at 1:00,and will last until April 16, 2007 at 1:00 (PDT).

to get the Jeweled Egg, first do your first 3 for your name. Then trade the first 5 letters of a region (one owned by a country), this will give you that country\'s egg (storage item, either Wing, Lamp, or Flower egg). Then do it again for that country, and the Moogle will give you a Jeweled Egg! congrats!

Initial 3 = Egg helmet
Initial 8 straight/7 of a kind = Fortune Egg/ Happy Egg
Day of the week = Orphic Egg
Bastok/Windurst/Sandy 5 letter region= Wing/Flower/Lamp (not sure which is which ^^; )

Happy Egg Hunting!

Day of the week ie: if it\'s ice day, then turn in the letter\'s \"I, C, E\"
etc.

As for the region names, yes, West Ron would be \"W, E, S, T, R\"

I don\'t believe the new area\'s (IE: TAU) count :P so just your basic conquest ones ^^;

Also, to add a bit more to my previous post and clarify a bit more. When i said the same country, i did not mean the country you belong too, or are currently in. what I meant to say was, if you do a region that was owned by Bastok, then do either the same region (still owned by Bastok) or another region that\'s owned by Bastok.

^^ hope that clarifies a bit more for people

I still dont understand. I spelled out SARUT and got Flower Egg. It was owned by windurst. When I tried spelling windu or windurst the moogle said it could only trade once per day.

What do you mean by the country name? How do we spell the country name? By countries do you mean, Windurst, Bastok, Sandoria? Also is it the first 5 letters of that name?

Thanks.

if you want a jeweled egg, first you have to get either, wing, lamp, or flower egg. then once you get one of those, just use the same thing you trade in last time, and you\'ll get jewel egg. most people already had the original eggs from last year, so they\'ll get jewel egg on the first time.

This will clear things up:
You cannot get Jeweled Egg if you have NEVER previously done this quest to get a Country egg.

If you already have like for example a Flower egg. Choose a windurst owned region, and trade in those egg once more to get Jeweled Egg.

If you have a bastok egg then trade in a bastok owned region to get a Jeweled Egg.

You must have 1 Country egg before you can get a Jeweled Egg.

I\'ve been trying to turn in my initial 3 eggs, my account is Kairu. I tried to trade in K, A, I and the moogle never says anything.
I never completed the quest before... my account is only five days old!
I\'m so frustrated, I emailed the support services, and I have yet to hear from them. I don\'t want to miss out on my first event!!!
