FFXI Easter Egg Hunt!
Posted by: Mirriam - Fri Mar 25th, 2005 02:10 am EST
It's that time again folks! 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, and trade in assorted combinations for goodies. There are 3 new furnishings (based on the three starting cities) if you find the "hidden" combinations, and lots of new ways to get eggs! Getting Eggs: Every game day, you can talk to the moogle and get one initial egg. 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, Mirriam, group with Cuer and Palos, I can choose a C Egg or a P Egg. You may also get one extra egg per Vanadiel day by trading 12 Bird Eggs, 12 Hard-Boiled Eggs, 6 Lizard Eggs, 1 Soft-Boiled Egg or 1 Colored Egg to the Moogle. Trading a Party Egg to the Moogle will get you 2 extra eggs, and trading a Lucky Egg to the Moogle will get you 3 extra eggs. The eggs you receive will be random. If you try to trade a Warm Egg to the Moogle, he will tell you "Ku........po! I can't egg-cept such a rare item. You should take more care of your belongings, kupo!" You may also get 1 egg per day 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 Mirriam, I need an M, I and R Egg. Turn these into the moogle, and you will get Chocobo Tickets or Colored Drops. If you trade in the eggs and you already have the item the Moogle wants to give you, he will tell you to sort your inventory and come back. You will not lose your eggs, however. 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, and then the next 7 letters of the alphabet. So, for Mirriam, I would need an M, N, O, P, Q, R, S and T egg. Trading for these combinations will get you either a Happy Egg or 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 combination will get you the different egg furniture pieces. In order to get the particular eggs, you will need to trade the first 5 letters of a region the country whose egg you want to receive owns. To receive the Bastokan Lamp Egg, I could trade G U S T and A Eggs. To receive the Windurstian Flower Egg, I could trade S A R U and T Eggs. To receive the San d'Orian Wing Egg, I could trade in R O N F and A Eggs. This does not have to be done in any particular city. IE, you can get the Flower Egg in San d'Oria, as long as you trade in the right combination. Trading in the wrong combination will get you turned into a scary Beastman! Moogle Locations: Northern San d'Oria Southern San d'Oria Bastok Mines Bastok Markets Windurst Woods Windurst Waters Event Specifics Official Announcement: The Egg Hunt Egg-stravaganza! Event Schedule: March 24th 16:00 (PST) to April 3rd 24:00 (PST) Event Item Rewards: Chocobo Tickets, Black Drop, Blue Drop, Clear Drop, Green Drop, Purple Drop, Red Drop, White Drop, Yellow Drop, Happy Egg, Fortune Egg, Flower Egg, Lamp Egg and Wing Egg.
The Egg Hunt Egg-stravaganza!

From: FINAL FANTASY XI Mar. 24, 2005 16:00 [PST] The Egg Hunt Egg-stravaganza! Master! Master! It's almost time for the Egg Hunt Egg-stravaganza, kupo! As we speak, the Mog House Management Union is making preparations for this year's festival. There will be eggs and fun and prizes...and eggs, kupo! But I'm worried about one thing. It seems like every year, the bigwigs down at the MHMU become more and more carried away when it comes to the rules of the game. All the new "combinations" they've been coming up with lately with are so confusing, kupo... But don't fret, Master! We Moogles are on your side! When it starts looking like you are stuck in a rut, we'll find a way to help you out, kupo! Now head on out into town, find one of my friendly brothers, and ask him about how you can get started collecting. If you're lucky, you'll be on your way to a roomful of lovely decorated eggs, kupo! Wait a minute! Did I say decorated eggs...? No. Forget all about that. You didn't hear anything from me...kupo... - Rules for the Egg Hunt Egg-stravaganza It all starts with collecting special "initial eggs." The easiest way to collect these eggs is by talking with one of the Moogle staff floating about each of the three nations. However, these representatives are only allowed to give you one complimentary egg per Vana'diel day (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). Now, if you don't want to wait that whole day, you can gather even more initial eggs by trading other types of eggs you may have on hand to any of the Moogles in the three nations. 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! Just remember that these egg exchanges are also limited to one per day (per nation). Once you've collected enough eggs, start exchanging with your fellow 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! But don't let the fun end there! 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! Oh, and 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. - Combination Examples First 3: The first three letters of your character's name - Moogle Locations Northern San d'Oria Southern San d'Oria Bastok Mines Bastok Markets Windurst Woods Windurst Waters - Festival Duration The Egg Hunt Egg-stravaganza will begin at 16:00 (PST) on March 24th and last until 24:00 (PST) on April 3rd.

PlayOnline: Development News - March 2005
Posted by: Cuer - Tue Mar 22nd, 2005 04:50 pm EST
From the Official FFXI Site (March 30): ENM Madness Ever since their implementation in the February version update, Empty Notorious Monster (ENM) quests have been taking Vana'diel by storm! But what you've seen has only been the tip of the iceberg! Our next update, planned for late April, will introduce even more action-packed, white-knuckle battles for parties of all shapes and sizes. There will also be various system changes that will allow you to take on the nefarious beasts with even more of your friends! From the Official FFXI Site (March 29): Git Clammin'! For all you clammers out there, we have some great news--the ever-popular Purgonorgo mini-game is being made even better! Fill your bucket to the brim without busting its bottom, and you'll be rewarded with an even bigger receptacle to test your clamming skills! And with a larger bucket, who knows what treasures you'll be taking home after a day of digging? From the Official FFXI Site (March 24): Equipment Storage In the previous version update, a new service was added allowing players to safely store full sets of artifact armor for a small fee. Due to the positive feedback regarding this new feature, the development team has decided to expand the equipment storage service to include over thirty new sets of various low-level armor and clothing. After trading a full set (consisting of 4 to 5 pieces) to one of four NPCs located in each of the major nations, players will receive a claim slip that can be presented when they wish to have their armor returned. Whether for level-restricted orb battles, Promathia missions, or for raising support jobs, low-level equipment can eat up a lot of room in a player's Mog Safe. Utilizing this feature will make it easier to store and retrieve space-consuming armor sets, while leaving Mog Safes open to hold more important items. The days of throwing away sleepshrooms to open slots for your silver gauntlets are over! Further details on the expanded service will be made available in the version update announcement released in late April. From the Official FFXI Site (March 22): Upcoming Version Update The development team is currently working on the next version update, which will include all the usual goodies--new quests, new Notorious Monsters, and various system additions and improvements--as well as the next installment of the Promathia story. Watch this space for the latest announcements regarding update details. The next version update is scheduled to take place in late April.

Doll Festival
Posted by: Mirriam - Tue Mar 01st, 2005 01:03 am EST
This repeatable event involves simply talking to a Moogle in one of the starting cities, as listed below. Be prepared to find lots of new people or drag your linkshell into this. You'll need an alliance of 10 (or more) people. Depending on your party combination, one of three things will happen when you talk to the Moogle once your alliance is ready. You will receive rice cakes as rewards, depending on the configuration of your alliance. The perfect setup has 6 males and 4 females, with 1 female leader and 1 male leader: Empress, Emperor, 5 musicians and 3 ladies-in-waiting. It doesn't appear to matter how the women are divided up among the 2 parties. If you do not have a perfect party, the cakes you get will be based on the races of the female members in your party. Note also that you must keep ALL 10 members throughout the dialogue, or the Moogle will scold you: "Kupo? What happened to your ten-person party? You can't trick presents out of me, kupo!" You can repeat this quest once every game day, as soon as it turns 0:00. Each rice cake lasts approximately 5 minutes, and will turn you into a little girl of that race. This event is scheduled to last 2 weeks Moogles: Bastok Markets* (G-8) Bastok Mines (I-9) South San d'Oria* (K-9) North San d'Oria (D-8) Windurst Woods* (K-10) Windurst Port (F-5) Because you need so many people, I recommend going to these zones first to find other people for the alliance. Starting Dialogue* Moogle: Have you seen the decorations? The Doll Festival has started, kupo! Moogle: I heard from my moogle sources that this is a celebration for the health and happiness of girls, kupo. Moogle: Apparently, the young lady and her beau would play empress and emperor, and would be joined by eight of their friends for the festivities, kupo. Moogle: Why don't you try making a ten-person party as well? We can all have fun celebrating the Doll Festival, kupo! Perfect Party Dialogue Moogle: It looks like you have all the members you need, kupo! Moogle: In fact, the moogle grapevine tells me that this is the perfect Doll Festival combination, kupo! Moogle: As a reward for your blind luc--I mean, "resourcefullness," I'm going to give you lots of these treats, kupo! You obtain 3 Hume rice cakes, 3 Elvaan rice cakes, 3 Tarutaru rice cakes and 3 Mithran rice cakes! Party #1/Ladies in Waiting Moogle: It looks like you have all the members you need. Time for the festival to begin, kupo! Moogle: After squeezing my moogle sources more, they told me that people used to eat these during the festival. Here, you take one as well, kupo! Moogle: Just in case you didn't know, the three girls in your party represent ladies of the court who wait on the empress. Moogle: Moogles know everything about festivals, kupo! You obtain a Hume rice cake and a Mithran rice cake! Party #2/Musicians Moogle: It looks like you have all the members you need. Time for the festival to begin, kupo! Moogle: After squeezing my moogle sources more, they told me that people used to eat these during the festival. Here, you take one as well, kupo!
