Getting a bit headache gathering eggs LOL the A is so rare and ppl are selling it at 200k+

Anyway after I manage to get my first 3 of my name JAZ, I tried to gather straight 8 and by the time I trade it, the moogle asks for first 3 again o_O

how does it really work..?

warning.... don't log out where the moogles are ; ;
for hours I can't log back in...

I haven't done anything with it this year, but...

I've used the Fortune Egg (MP+1%, VIT+1) since last year in my throwing slot. Only thing comparable is Holy Ampula, but that costs more.

Easy way to get an A egg if you're hard-up for one ... party with someone whose name begins with A, and then get your initial egg while partied with them. Check your friends and your friends' mules for A-name characters, and failing that see if anyone has any free content ID slots to *create* an A-name mule.

Same applies to any other letter, of course. And the original moogle will, yes, keep talking about the "first 3" in normal conversation, but once you've done first 3 at least once, you can give him that *or* any of the other combos.

Initial straight 8, for you, would be J K L M N O P Q - the eight consecutive letters of the alphabet starting with your first letter. (Wraps around from Z to A, if you were wondering.)

7 of a kind is what it sounds like, and I think it can be any letter you please.

Does anyone know what happens if you turn in the initial straight 8 or 7 of kind when you already have both a happy and lucky egg?

First thing to do:

Trade first 3 of your name.

Then you can do either of the following to get Happy and Fortune Eggs:
7 of a Kind
Straight 8 starting on first letter of name

You can also trade the first five letters of a Conquest Region to get a furniture piece corresponding to whoever controls the region. If Beastmen control the region you get turned into one.

Heh, this is cute.

Eh? You get turned into a beastman?

Also, which egg is the one that increases MP? I may try to get that one. 1% isn't a lot for me right now (about 4 MP), but I guess it'll add up later on. And since the Morion/Phantom Tathlums have gone up to disgusting prices, I've got nothing else to toss in my Ammo slot. ^^

it's the lucky egg from the one of a kind. ingame friend told me it's 7 eggs of my name's first letter. J J J J J J J ? Still have to try it out.

Moogle will try to give you those two eggs again.

Well you got the 7 of Kind half accurate, it's 7 of any letter egg. Only the "First 3" and "Initial Straight 8" do you use your name.

Which Furniture is this? If its the newyears furniture, I don't think I care..
What about the beastmen? I saw a Quadav rampaging through Sandy.. how long does that last? can you zone with it and fight outside?

A goes for 200k on your server? I've gotten A twice in 5 hours! Max I've seen is 20k on my server.

Make that 3/6. A's now.

[guyincorporated]

I don't believe it for a second. Join a party with someone with a name starting with "A" and you can choose A, specifically. Every 48 minutes 200 new eggs flood the market. 8 of those are going to be A's.

[Macht]

Definatly more then 8. What you are forgetting though is you also have to factor that out of 26 letters A is used 1/5th of the time or more so even though 8 may come out every hour there is likely a damand for more then 40 Eggs all lettered "A".

I would imagine that all Vowels will have that similar demand were the constants (With the exception of "S") will be in much less demand. Do some study up on Soundex's and Phonetic's and you'll start to see that even with just 8 "A" Eggs coming out an hour it's still to few to cover demand for it.

EDIT:

Most of the constants though are fine since they are used about 1/21th of the time which every hour the 8 from them will almost cover the demand of 10 of that same letter.

EDIT AGAIN:

Scall those numbers up to the login average of players and you have roughly 115 Eggs of any Letter every hour, and a demand of about 600 Eggs of Letters A,E,I,O,U and 120 for the other letters.

LAST EDIT (I think):

For some quick example purpose I took each player name I found just on this thread and broke down what letters were in demand for the first 3.

We have "A" with 6 demands, "L" with 4, and "E"/"R" tied with 3. Out of just 11 people you only have less then 15% chance of someone getting just 1 of the 4 letters in demand here.

Did the math to just get 1 of the 4 letters in demand you have exacly 1.39860~%* chance of getting just 1 of those letters.

*Corrected the number, for some reason it came out wrong the first time I did it. Not a big change only by like .03%

[Jei]

interesting you can specificly choose the egg you like in a PT?
