“Nobody asked for this”

Does everything in the world need someone to ask for it to be made before it is made? No.

Maybe I missed it somewhere because after the first page I started to kind of just quickly skim through post but there appears to be 3 pages (150 posts) from the Newsletter on literally just the stupid house placement near the bridge and NL. Literally nothing else about any other the upcoming events.

I don't know about anyone else but the newsletter was a bit of excitement for me because after 3 months I finally have some new content to look forward to! The dynamic treasures sound like it will be later (April/May maybe) and the color of items will be a zombie green color. It will be interesting to see what stats are on the quiver/apron/sash because with the limited options we currently have something like 5 SSI on either the sash or apron would be huge. Also looks like we are getting weapons to help... I'm just hoping they are usable (ie not antique) and have properties that synergize with a warrior (ie slayer (maybe double slayer) / mana leech / hit spell / hit area / etc). The other important thing will be the cost of the items. Things need to be within reason but I think they got that down with the last event.

One thing I was a bit sad to see is there is no neck / arms / garg earrings type reward for something like the Balron armor. Still excited to see what the mods on all those items are.

Also wondering if the book we used the clicky for during V-day was the lore book for this event cycle.

it might have clues to the dynamic quest.
but usually the dynamic quests have something that we click on.
(example: the items from Amoeba island)

I know I wouldn't mind another Lore book
detailing the dynamic quests...
but there are some of the items on display that are intriguing.
(I know i want one of each of those candles. love the colors)

Here is there plan.

You have NL for one season then its deleted.

Now hear me out. Right before it being deleted you get to transfer your newish to to any shard.

Now hear is the good part.
Mesanna come out and says we are closeing some shards. You liked starting on a new shard and now you get to take some things and move once again.
Yes, they should close ATL!

You can tell by most of the 5 pictures where the locations are. I know it has not begun.

Yes we know that. Where do you think Butterflies would be in UO? Those little pink seeds probably represent Butterflies or Moths. The green things cocoons.

Parrot looks like Eodon (near where the lions spawn)
& curio looks like outside of Destard

You are correct @Pawain - Quest is active on ATL

Looks like everyone wants eggs. Time to go hunt for them!

Edit** I found all NPCs except for the Curio... doesn't appear to be outside Destard

Update - Eggs are found all over the place (usually wooded area) on the ground. Control Shift method seems to work best but after running around for the past 30-45min hitting ctr/shift my hand is already cramping lol. This appears to be a bot friendly event as you can just setup multiple accounts to go roam the woods and pickup easter eggs :(

The quest is npcs who ask for a specific amount of eggs from you. You can choose to repeat any of them to get the item again. I see nothing by destard. I have all but the curio npc.

The eggs don't make bunnies? Will have to put those in stable to keep them. Darn. And have to keep eggs.

Yea the eggs were pretty spread out this morning when I made a run. I was able to find 5 (took me 45min or so) to get the butterfly but it seems like decoration. The 25 eggs required for the candles is going to be rough unless there is some sort of strategy I'm missing to finding the eggs.

I've found all the NPCs except the Curio and each reward seems like it's just decoration. Hoping that there is something usable that comes from this event since I really don't have the room (or desire) to lockdown a bunch of different colored candles/plants/butterflies/parrots.

We are not finding many eggs on LS. The players are making up stuff. Have to kill rabbits to get eggs, wait for rabbit to lay an egg, release rabbit in a pen to make an egg. Need more eggs.

Yea it was the same for me this morning. I definitely think that there are some places they spawn much more than others. For example I looked around the hedgemaze and only found 1 in about 20min of patrolling the area... In that same time period another guy said he found 6. He wouldn't tell me where but he did show me and he had 8 total eggs (and that was only maybe an hour after server up).
