Talk:Oyster Egg Day
Below: a proposal for Oyster Egg Day not to be a redirect page (I'd personally find that more orderly and it'd be less confusing for people who click Oyster Egg Day from the link in the KoL Calendar). --NewZorkBat 13:42, 17 January 2006 (Central Standard Time)
What about the chance of finding an oyster egg? Anything known about that? Might be cool to add something about that under 'finding eggs'. I realize this isn't much spading data, but I spent 166 adventures on the peak, getting 24 oyster eggs doing so (~14.5%). Ofcourse finding an egg doesn't use a turn. Anyone has more data? And might it depend on location as well? --Nappa 08:51, 28 July 2006 (CDT)
There's some kind of counter that keeps track of the number of eggs you've collected and your odds get lower as the count gets higher. One year they forgot to reset the counter, so there's some info in an old forum thread. This makes spading much harder, as you'd really need to know which adventure produced an egg from a number of people to calculate the forumla. --Crowther 09:19, 28 July 2006 (CDT)
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 Demon Market and go egg-hunting!
On Oyster Egg Day, by equipping an oyster basket, participants can collect a number of differently decorated eggs from various locations about the Kingdom. When a player stumbles across an oyster egg, it does not "cost" them an adventure.
As you collect more and more eggs, they become harder to find.

Oyster Egg Messages
It doesn't seem to make much sense to endlessly repeat the same Oyster Egg Messages on each and every Oyster Egg Day page (I - VIII so far). After eight Oyster Egg holidays with no changes, I think it's safe to stop reinventing the wheel each time. Instead, let's just put them on the main Oyster Egg Day page. While there are a couples of differences, I think that they are much more likely to be Wiki errors and omissions than they are to be actual changes in the Kingdom. For the sake of posterity, here they are:
- Oyster Egg Day IV: Missing ... behind a furnace.
- Oyster Egg Day IV: Missing ... in the pocket of somebody's bathrobe.
- Oyster Egg Day IV: Missing ... annoyed-looking Lavatory Troll.
- Oyster Egg Day V: Missing ... behind a furnace.
- Oyster Egg Day V: Missing ... behind a stack of old newspapers.
- Oyster Egg Day V: Added (probable typo) ... conveniently hidden in your own pants.
- Oyster Egg Day V: Added (probable typo) ... in a stack of old newspapers.
- Oyster Egg Day VIII: Missing ... in plain sight.

Egg selection
The fact that each zone drops exactly one specific kind of egg might be put on this page. It is implied, sure, but not explicit. --Drachefly 15:19, 1 November 2006 (CST)
Consolidation of Oyster Egg Day Pages
As JRSiebz suggested more than a year ago, there's really no reason for us to have separate pages for each Oyster Egg day. This idea was again suggested in January, but no action was taken. As it seems that there exists a concensus favoring consolidation, I'm planning on consolidating all the Oyster Egg Day pages into a single page (this page). To retain a history of the drops, I'll make a table with a column for each Oyster Egg. Additionally, since I'm always wondering what egg a particular location drops, I'll also make a table with drops by location. If you have any objections, speak up soon, or forever hold your peace! --Gymnosophist 19:57, 1 November 2006 (CST)
Oyster Egg Day X?
Is today (April 8, 2007) really Oyster Egg Day? Baskets are available at the market, but despite it being real-life Easter, there's no OED announcement on the main page, and I haven't turned up any oyster eggs yet through adventuring with an oyster basket.--Jett 10:17, 8 April 2007 (CDT)
- Has anyone found any eggs today?--Junyr 10:43, 8 April 2007 (CDT)
- It seems pretty unlikely, according to an official forum post. --Bagatelle 10:51, 8 April 2007 (CDT)
Well, cancel that. Oyster Egg Day X is now out in force.--Dorf (Talk | Contribs) 12:50, 8 April 2007 (CDT)
