you know people, if you cant afford to buy an egg for a measly 200-500 gil...then you could always (just a suggestion) try THF TH??? >< i killed lizards in south gustaberg, had my egg in less than 5 minutes. (AH was out of stock)

I tried killing about 40 lizards with my 20 WAR and ended up with a stack of lizard tails and NO egg. I don't get exp from them so I basically wasted a bunch of time. AH hasn't had any the last few days either.

Luckily I just started leveling my THF so I'm going to follow your advice tonight then probably kick myself in the **** for a while. Thanks for the tip...

"EVERY LIZARD DROPS EGGS"

This is ignorant and wrongful posting. Steam lizards in the Dangruf Wadi will drop this and it's not very rare. I killed... hrm... probably 6 steam lizards. I got 2 eggs. As a level 25 thief I had Treasure Hunter 1. Without TH1 I still doubt this would be a "rare" drop that would waste "hours" of your time. These are the easiest lizards I know of that drop it and they check as EP at level 25.

Trade the egg
# May 28 2006 at 10:37 AM Rating: Decent
Once you get your lizzard egg head to the Presidents office in Metalworks. Go to the room on the left and trade the egg to Alois no need to talk to him first just select trade and you will start a cut scene.
Why won't senator Eloise give me my rank points??
# Jan 23 2006 at 1:24 PM Rating: Decent
Hey everyone, first post here. So I went to see the senator and traded him the lizard egg, and nothing happens; he won't accept the egg. I've already accepted the mission and bought the egg from AH, so I have no idea what's going wrong. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
I didnt even do this mission yet...

Ok a suggestion for all of you that have never used forums before. READ ALL BLOGS BEFORE POSTING YOUR QUESTIONS. Everything has been specified in this mission yet many of you are asking questions that have already been answered. So I am gonna make this easy for you..After completing Fetichism Mission. Trade 8 water crystals to Gate guard, This will open up crystal line mission, talk to Cid, Cid DOES NOT give you a crystal, either kill a mob or buy a crystal, any crystal will do, then walk/run/tele to Crag of Dem and locate Dem crystal, Crag of Dem Crystal. To get to Crag of Dem Crystal from Bastok its like this... Bastok>>>South Gustaberg>>>North Gustaberg (entrance closest to Dangruf Wadi)>>>Kontschat Highlands, Once you find the crag go to the crystal that is not broken, highlight the crag of dem crystal and trade your crystal to it, you will receive a faded crystal in return. Then head back to Bastok walk/run/warp. Head back to Cid. Then head back to gate guard and trade 9 crystals to guard talk to mission npc and wading beast is unlocked, EVERY LIZARD DROPS EGGS, some have a lower drop rate but EVERY LIZARD DROPS EGGS, personally i wouldnt waste my time farming it, just buy it from the AH its cheap it saves hours of pointless killing for a rare drop. then return to Bastok to the Metalworks area and speak with Senator Aloise near the President's Office and you will be awarded next step up in your rank.
Do not ask any more questions about this mission this is all there is too it and now you know and knowing is half the battle. Thank you drive through.

Maybe it's just me, but getting those damn eggs to drop is a real pain in my backside. Reportedly, they drop from all Lizards, and even some other mobs (Efts?) but the Steam Lizards have the 'highest' drop rate in the area. Two people killing everything in sight for a couple hours yielded... one egg. -.-' The only reason I didn't buy it from the AH is because I didn't want to satisfy the jerkoffs trying to kick the price up.

Someone from my ls just send me an egg, trade the egg to the Senator and Booom I am done he he.
How Many?
# Jul 08 2005 at 12:10 AM Rating: Decent
After doing "The Crystal Line" I didnt have enough rank poins to get this mission. SO I had to turn in crystals. Like I did in "The Crystal Line" I turned them in 1 by 1 so I could let you all know exactly how many it takes.

It took 8 water crystals to get this mission.

Hope that helps.
Buy on AH

I tried to kill steam Lizards last night for about an hour. I kept getting aggro'ed by gobbs that checked easy, and after killing about 40 of them (and dying 3 times) I finally found the steam Lizards. had one almost dead, then a gob spawns behind me.... Got killed again and lost lvl 20. (Grrrrrr....)
Now I find out I can just buy the damn thing at the auction house...

Sometimes I feel so retarded...
Any rewards..?
# Apr 24 2004 at 12:47 PM Rating: Decent
I did the Crystal Line quest, and then the Fetichism quest again, turned in a few stacks of crystals, and now the Emmissary mission is available, but I never did the Wading Beast mission...just wondering if there is any gil reward, cuz if there isn't i'll just skip it altogether.

One of the eggs dropped off of a White Lizard in Yhoator Jungle, so I assume it might be all lizards.
fame?

No, this is a mission to rise your rank. Fame is not affected.

If I am wrong, someone please come by and correct me.

It is not just the Steam Lizards that drop this egg. After killing regular rock lizards for xp & crystals, I have a gotten a couple of these.

Once again...Rock Lizards also drop a lizard egg.

yes, I can validate that Steam lizards are the only ones I've EVER gotten to drop an egg (actually the first one I fought did and a few thereafter). They are in the areas accessable by geyser only. Large groups of 13-18 need only apply.

Other lizards will drop eggs too, including the lower-level ones in South Gusta.
