Talk:Oyster Egg Day
Proposed Page
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)
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)
- Well, you have my approval also.--Dehstil (t|c) 21:35, 1 November 2006 (CST)
- For something that appears to be brought up so many times, I'm suprised nothing has been done in regards to this. On the most recent Oyster Egg Day (X) there were over 100 edits of people "spading" the drop locations, when in fact, they have been the same since VIII. I'm guessing they were changed on that day because of the addition of the 8 New Zones! I suppose that means we probably will see new drop locations after NS13 arrives. Anyway, it makes more sense to me to list the current set of drop locations on this page and keep an "archive" of former drop locations on the individual oyster egg pages. We probably should replace the Oyster Eggs entry under "Special Items" with all oyster eggs and the current list of drop locations. Anybody object or know a better way of going about this? --TheDotGamer 06:43, 16 April 2007 (CDT)
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)
jick must have just forggoten to mash go on the "It's oyster egg day" button--CSDragon 19:41, 8 April 2007 (CDT)
Egg Finding Chances
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)
Cap on number found wrong?
I've already found over 30 of an individual egg type on oyster day XI, and I've heard from many others gettting 20+ repeatedly, for several different types. I'm pretty sure that note about only getting 15 of a specific type in one day has to be wrong, at least nowadays... --Liokae 09:59, 12 May 2007 (CST)
I've gotten the same thing. I suggest we take the "Notes" section out of the page, because it's not true.--WelcomeToEarth 13:35, 12 May 2007 (CDT)
