Oyster Egg Day
It's Oyster Egg Day!
The Enchanted Flying Oyster came last night and hid his magical eggs all over the Kingdom!
Grab a basket at the Market and go egg-hunting!
On Oyster Egg Day, by equipping an oyster basket, participants can collect a number of differently decorated eggs hidden in various locations about the Kingdom. When a player stumbles across an oyster egg, it does not "cost" him or her an adventure.
The drop location for individual Oyster eggs changes from time to time, and is listed on the individual Oyster Egg Day pages (see below). When you find an egg, you randomly get a special message from the "You Find an Oyster Egg" Messages listed below.
As you collect more and more eggs, they become harder to find.

Item Effects
Oyster Eggs are separated into both color and pattern: plastic oyster eggs are combat items; the rest are usable items.
All non-plastic oyster eggs use up one Spleen point when consumed, so no more than 15 can be used per day (unless you have Spleen of Steel, in which case you can consume up to 20). See Spleentacular Items.
