Can I still get this item?
If so how do I go about obtaining it?

Yeah I got this thing (was a botch tog et 7 i eggs in a row ><) and it rocks my socks off. Its giving the same amount of mp a morion tathlum would give me and was way cheaper :D and the mp will only keep rising. Thank you %1 mp rise. Anyways its my personal opinion that this is the greatest range for a mage job say between 20-36 cuz by 20 you have mp in the triple digits.

What is this the HQ of notice the white border... could it be the hq of the notorious lucky egg if anyone has data about "Fortune EGG" giving you TH bonus please post

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 <.< >.>

Thanks again ^^

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!

-Xia

To obtain the eggs..

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.

Happy Egg hunting, and Happy Easter..

(edit: Thank you Tsuuga)

I'm laughing hysterically since a friend of mine who is on my ls just threw his egg away yesterday accidentally...then smacked himself for it
He threw it at a gob...and it bounced off doing nothing...to which Isam (my friend) said "I guess he ate it"...and then smacked himself some more.

does this have TH or something like that?

I thought colored egg was throwing as well...bummer. Now I have a stack of those and nothing to do with them. lol

i threw mine.. i am sad now :'(

Wow, I want one of these. I hardly ever have anything in my ammo/bait slot, and this would work perfect with my planned job: Paladin.

So you can only get them from some Easter holiday event? Oh well, maybe next year.

Hidden bonus and deficiency, eh? I'll buy that, but I'd prefer a larger test than just one person. Anyone else here noticed this?

There are 2 hidden effects on the Lucky Egg.

on Lightsday: + Treasure Hunter 1
on Darksday: Absolutely no bonuses earned from lucky egg, no +1 VIT nor +1% MP, and definitely no Treasure Hunter.

I figured out the treasure hunter by killing dhamels continuously in Tahrongi. On lightsday the drops improved to the same level as having a thief with TH with me. On darksday I was dismayed to find out my max MP had gone down by 5.

Good to see that the delay is so long so that I won't throw it out like I did last time with my morion....
