This egg is great for my mnk/war, war/mnk. My mnk at lvl 35 originally would have around 800hp but with this it boosts it up +6 more hp, plus u cant 4get that Vitality.
I just did this quest in Sandoria and I am from Bastok. I got the Bastok Lamp Egg when trading the first five letters of a region controlled by your home country. I was in Sandy at that time, so I believe it is tied to country of origin in that manner. I tried later in Bastok to trade another 5 letter of a controlled region, but it said I couldn't get the lamp egg. This tells me that Bastokians get the lamp egg regardless of city in which they do the quest. I'm going to try shipping it to a mule and get a second one! :)

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 <.< >.>
The furniture eggs are obtained by trading the first FIVE lettered eggs of any region the nation owns. For example, if Bastok has control of Gustaberg trade G-U-S-T-A and get the lamp egg. You don't have to be from the nation to recieve the furniture so you can obtain all 3 on the same character, in the same city, from the same moogle.
Yeah. I went back and got all of the furniture eggs. Windy was in 1st so with VADEL I got Flower egg, traded GUSTA for lamp and RONFA for the Wing egg.
I know there's a lot of confusion going on for this quest (as with any special event) so after obtaining both eggs last night I'd like to clarify some myths players are using to get your gil.
Claim: This (insert letter here) egg is very rare, so it's worth more money!
-Really, these eggs are not worth the thousands of gil they're being advertised for. One egg can be earned per day by talking with the moogle. Any letter can be obtained by forming a party with a person who has that letter as the first letter of their name when you click on the moogle to recieve your daily egg. Do a /sea (letter) of that area, and ask someone if they wouldn't mind joining your party for a moment for the Easter quest. If you talk to the moogle alone, you will recieve a random letter egg.
Claim: You need (random word) combination of letters to get your fourtune/happy eggs, and I'm selling them at <pos>!
-The only way to get the eggs is by first trading the first three letters of your name (for me, XIA), then:
For the Happy egg (HP egg):
Trade the "initial 8", the first letter of your name and the following 7 letters in alphabetical order. So, for me it was x y z a b c d e (starting over at A again if your name runs over)
For the Fortune egg (MP egg):
Trade the "straight 7", just 7 eggs of the same letter. I got this quickly, a friend of mine has three mules; he brought them all to windy for the quest. Each day I formed a party with each of his mules, who all got the X egg. After 2 days I had 8 X eggs, this way was really quick and easy to do.
I hope this helped someone to get their eggs stress-free ^^ Good luck and remember to have fun with it!
Ok the Eggs you get from the special event are> Happy Egg (HP+1% VIT+1) EX & RARE Fortune Egg (MP+1% VIT+) EX & RARE The EX stands for ur an idiot if u try to trade this. The RARE stands for ya it more special than other items. For u to get any bonus out of this u need either 100HP or 100MP. you will get +1 HP or MP for ever 100 HP or MP you have. The VIT is usefull in any case. To get one of these eggs message me Hadriel on Kujata serever and ill tell you for 10k gil. Thanks for reading have a good night or day. <(^_^)>
The RARE stands for ya it more special than other items.
"Rare" means you can only have one such item. So for items such as Norg Shell, Mana Ring (which are Rare/noEX) etc. you can only have one in your total stash.

I'll tell you for free. If I was trading eggs the initial 3 would be "T" "I" "A". Then, if I wanted a Fortune Egg I would use any type of letter x7, so ie. TTTTTTT. For a Happy Egg, you need to trade a total of 8 eggs according to the alphabet beginning with your initial letter. So for me it would be "T" "U" "V" "W" "X" "Y" "Z" and going back from the beginning "A". Also rumored that after trading the first 7-of-a-kind for a Fortune Egg you can get a Happy Egg by getting another 7-of-a-kind set.
This information is somewhat incorrect. First, you have the names of the eggs backwards. you get a Fortune Egg for a 7 of a kind, and a Happy egg for an initial 8. However, the first letter for 7 of a kind does NOT have to be the 1st letter of your name. The initial 8 DOES have to start with the 1st letter of your name, and it does start over again at the beginning if you run out of letters.
I thought I was all set placing an /equip line for my Happy Egg in my Pulling Macro, so that i would have the Egg equipped by the time I was back to the camp. Unfortunately, I hit a pack of lag, and my macro somehow skipped over the /equip Boomerang line at the beginning of the Macro. Now the Goblin Butcher and I both have egg on our faces :(. Be more careful with your Happy Egg than I was with mine. My advice: if you are planning on using any sort of ranged weapon, leave your Egg at home with your Moogle. It isn't worth the risk.

ok colored drops are food each one gives +5 of a status there is a dff status for each drop all i knod so far is clear drop gives INT+5 i am still doing research
On the character profile pages, anyone who has this equiped (myself included) doesn't have the bonus HP being added. I know it isn't a big deal, but just to let you know...
Call me luck or what, but I started with the three and got two choco passes, next did the super 8 combo (starting with w) WXYZABCD, got the happy egg, and then finished up with the 7 of a kind (of which I chose N) and ended up with the lucky egg. Maybe it had to do with what combonation of letters you turned in?
lol i remember this easter thing was a long time ago got a Z or something like taht someone thought it was rare and bought for 5k i was such a happy noob
I always wanted to know, how are you able to capture the picture of the item and post them? Everytime I tried, it doesnt work. Can someone tell me pls?
lol you Rock!!! Long live PSP Users!!! <QA Engineer at Corel... formerly of jasc:)> Sorry for the off topic, but I can't resist cheering for ppl that use PSP. Been with Jasc for 7 years, and loved every day:)... Ok, maybe not everyday:)
The trick is to NEVER BUY ONE. Just hang out in town and have your bazaar up selling them for 500-1k a piece and shout asking for your LMNOPQRS combo for the Happy Egg. and don't sell LEK or the ones you need. Instead turn them in and sell the Choco Tickets for 5k and the Drops for 10k+
I got both my Balance Rings, my Emperor Hairpin, and my Wolf Mantle +1 by doing this :-D
I arrived at the whole Easter Egg hunt thing a little late but people selling these things like mad - got so annoying couldn' hear the people asking for Teleport's and offering 500 gil and the n00bz wanting free gil or wanting what to with the adventurer's coupon! I got a happy egg - and im a thief but i carry a bow & arrows around so it's pointless ! I wish you could like break it open and find something inside!
a lvl 71 pt had a tank equipped with the happy egg, he couldent keep aggro and the mob was bouncing all over when he usually has great control. He takes off the egg and everythings fine next fight. He puts it on and the same stuff happens. I dont know but my best bet is that It does have some -enmity effect on it. You cant prove otherwise since you have no proof meanwhile the proof i have is right there for you to read.
Yeah, I was having the same problem. I was tanking and always losing aggro..I couldn't understand cause it is rare that I ever do. Someone looked at me and said to take the egg off. After that I was fine. hehe I almost threw it at a Crawler, but they said to keep it hehe.
this hidden attribute of -em is a load of poo until someone can show me proof of SoE saying it does, i dont buy it, i had no problem holding hate for the last 3 days having it equipted
Word on the street is that the Happy egg has some hidden -enmity attributes....so mages may want to have this equipped, where as tanks may not....dont know if this is true, but you may want to take this under consideration when heading out to pt.
On the Asura server San D'oria is starting to get crazy! You can't even talk with your LS friends! Even in Yhoator Jungle in the outlands they try to sell those eggs! It's C R A Z Y!!!
I stupidly threw mine. I'm gonna do the quest one more time (Happy Egg) and then get lots of money. I got a Link Shell and it's called the "GilHunters" on the Unicorn server. Prices are cheap, but "F" is rare.
____________________________
I'm bored. Are you bored? Let's be bored together! *dances with you happily* ^^
I made like 100k selling eggs I got like 130k now and start out with 20k before eggs came out and made like 110k so that is good but price went down alot to like 500
I have both of the Happy and Lucky eggs. My main is a Bard, so I can't really equip it while I'm leveling (you can't equip ammo with an instrument), but it's still a nice Trophy.
It's basically to say "Lookit me! I was here around Easter and did the Egg quests!"
Yep, just like the halloween stuff says "Lookit me! I was here around Halloween and did whatever quest there was then!" (unfortunately, I wasn't there...)
Friday morning, the egg market was really booming on the Valefor server. The going price was about 2000 gil. However, as the day went on, prices kept droping lower and lower. Now the going price is between 800 to 1200 gil. F's are rare in Valefor, too. They only go for about 4000, though.
Overall, I made about 30,000 gil selling eggs. I would've made even more if I hadn't traded them in for the Happy Egg (or gotten sick of selling them at the end and lowered my prices WAY down just to get rid of the darn things). Unless the Happy Egg really appeals to you, don't bother trying to get it...
I got mine after 6k and an hour of wheeling n dealing. On Ragnarok, the eggs average 800-1.5gil. Except "F" which is up to around 8-14k. Found someone willing to trade it to me for crappy ones but always someone bought it from their bazaar, till i got lucky and found some afk guy away from the crowds with it for 1k.
I am sure that many of you noticed that you can make a load of gil trading these eggs, I made about 12k in 15 minutes. Is it really worth it to go and get eggs which are weaker than any bow? And nobody ever answered the question of what you do with your candy drops. I got the green drop but I noticed another guy had a yellow drop and a red drop.
Its a thrown weapon. 1 dmg 777 delay DONT THROW IT. its NOT FOOD. (dont eat it, you will break a tooth) ITS RARE/EX it goes in your AMMO slot. Its pretty colors.
and be prout of me, i submitted it ^^

Happy Egg: +1% Hit Point Max Total, +1 VIT
Lucky Egg: +1% Magic Point Max Total, +1 VIT
Not really a noticeable increase at lower levels but you do see it at higher levels. They are good for those that don't use Ranged Weapons or carry other types of Ammo Type Items. But if ya have something better than these than obviously you use those instead of the eggs. ^ ^

This egg can be thrown...One of my LS mate did it out of curiousity and lost it. You can also mine these letter eggs in all places where you can mine ores. You can only mine up one of them a day. I got my "Happy" and "Lucky" eggs. Thank god! I'm done with the major lag with millions of people swarming and spamming out trades....LoL! Crazyiness! But it's fun ^ ^

First 3: Give 3 eggs with the first 3 letters of your character's name. [i.e. Asphe => A, S & P]
Happy Egg: Give 8 eggs in alphabetical order, beginning with the first letter of your name. [i.e. Asphe? ABCDEFGH, if your name is Xyran, then it's XYZABCDE]
Lucky Egg: Give 7 eggs, all of the same letter. [Lucky 7 :)]
You must do the First 3, before the getting the other eggs.
Both eggs are Rare/Ex [the moogle will try to give you more eggs, but it cannot and you still lose your 8 or 7 eggs]
You can do the 8-series twice to obtain both eggs. The first time you will get the Happy Egg. The second time you will get the Lucky Egg. I'm unclear if you can do the lucky-7 quest a second time to obtain a Happy Egg, but I'm guessing it's true.
Actually, if you try to obtain another Happy/Lucky Egg while you have both, you WILL lose your 7/8 eggs, but the Moogle will 'hold' your Lucky/Happy Egg for you. Simply drop the one that the game tells you you're unable to get and you'll get a 'second' lucky or happy egg.
Paying a lot for the eggs is a sucker's game. Some experienced miners/loggers, extremely frustrated at cutting/mining eggs every hour, have begun selling the eggs for 100 apiece or less to spite the /shout /emote /say spamming players clogging up the streets of the nation cities.
There is a damage number though, it's 1, and the delay is 777. So you should be able to throw it... and therefore I suggest disabling the ctrl+d shortcut in the game config if you still have it active, or you may accidently lose this.
I'm fairly sure that you must do the first egg mini-quest first, that being the first 3 letters of your character's name.
My character is Magicker, I traded the moogle M-A-G eggs and got 2 free chocobo passes, then traded my eggs around some and got M-N-O-P-Q-R-S-T (First letter of your name, and then the next 7 letters of the alphabet). When I traded those to the moogle, I got my happy egg.

...Which brings me to my next point, kids. Don't do drugs.
man, it is sooo confused, i got all eggs for the name, but the moggle didn;t give the happy egg to me, how does it work? can some one explain it?
