<poem>Ahem, shell we begin @Adventurers ? Spring is finally here and the fowl weather is gone! But enough with poultry pleasantries, let's crack on. I'm eggs-tremely eggs-ited, eggs-eptionally delighted, to announce... Egg Hunt Egg-stravagaza! Wait. What year is it? Oh time flies! Kupo~ The team is scrambling to cook up 1.1, we've been positively fried! I bet you've been perched on the edge of your seats! Knowing delays wouldn't go over-easy, Loxley hatched a plan to swoop in and lay down this egg-stra special shellabration! We hope this will quail any rustled feathers and stop you boiling over. Okay, no more flapping, what the flock is this all about? Let me take you under my wing and eggs-plain... Every day at the crack of dawn, when the sun beaks over the Horizon and the Chocobo crows... Wait, that's not it. Just to be nice and eggs-actly precise... at 0:00 O'cluck each day, my friends will offer you a freshly laid egg. Each egg has a letter printed underneath (Don't ask). Peck out the first three letters of your name and eggs-change them with us Moogles for a prize! Once you've completed the "First three", we'll let you try other combinations. This just scratches the surface. Word from the bird's nest is there are egg-stra secret combos this year. See if you can find them! So... don't stay kuupo~ed up! Leave the roost, come out of your shell and see if this event tickles your feathers by hunting down Moogles in the following locations across Vana'diel: (J-9) Southern San d'Oria (D-8) Northern San d'Oria (I-9) Bastok Mines (G-8) Bastok Markets (K-10) Windurst Woods (F-5)  Windurst Waters That's all yolks. Kupo~ Eggbert

===How to Play===
<poem>Start by collecting [[Initial Egg]]s, each inscribed with a letter.

The easiest way to do this is by speaking to one of the festival moogles in each area where the event is held, but you can only collect one egg each day using this method. 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.

You can collect even more initial eggs by trading other types of eggs you may have on hand to any of the moogles in the three nations. Just remember that these egg exchanges are also limited to one per day (per nation). 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!

Once you've collected enough eggs, start exchanging with other 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!

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!

'''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.
