Got enough eggs for a fast explorer. I'm hoping he'll just about pay for himself by the end of the event. I think I'll probably end up around 2000 eggs total and buy the rest when they hit single digits.
just tricks to see if ppl pay attention
Dear Settlers!
The Easter Event Removal Phase 1 will occur during maintenance on [April 30th, 2014].
This brief FAQ will provide detailed information about Removal Phase 1.
- What does Removal phase 1 mean?
The core mechanisms of the event will be turned off during Removal Phase 1. The event shop category will remain until Removal Phase 2 on [May 7th, 2014], so you will have one additional week to get special event items for Easter eggs. The Easter eggs can be found in your storage at anytime, even after Removal Phase 2.
- What happens to Easter quests that are not finished?
The event quest chains will be cancelled.
- What happens to Explorers who were sent before Removal Phase 1, but are still searching?
If you're lucky, your explorer might bring back Easter eggs from his last search. All treasure hunts that begin after Removal Phase 1 won't have a chance to find Easter eggs anymore.

- What happens to the Easter collectibles spread along my island?
There is a limited time frame to grab collectibles until the Easter collectibles are replaced by the standard ones. Depending on when the Easter collectibles spawned on your island, you may still have some time to pick up Easter collectibles after Removal Phase 1. But the next branch spawned will be the standard collectibles.
- What happens to the Easter collectibles in my storage?
Event collectibles won't be shown in the storage anymore because they cannot be used until next year's Easter event. But you will still own them and will not lose any collectibles. You can see the amount in the trade office when placing an offer and you can even still trade them. With next year's Easter event, the items will become visible in the Mayor's house again.
- Is it possible to create event items in the collections tab of the Mayor's house?
The creation of items like "hidden egg hunt" are related to the Easter event and require Easter collectibles; therefore, this option will be turned off. If you started to produce an event item before Removal Phase 1 maintenance, this item will still finish. Same goes for completed items: You can still pick them up after Removal Phase 1.
- Is it possible to use items like "hidden egg hunt" buff after Removal Phase 1?
Yes, you can still use the buff in order to get more Easter eggs. Additional eggs will also be shown in your storage for the entire year
and you can always use the resource in the provision house.
Information about Easter egg drops in adventures before Easter Removal 1
You can earn Easter eggs from adventures because adventures have an event resource drop chance.
This means once you completed an adventure during the Easter event you have a chance to get additional Easter eggs as a reward.
Some adventures didn't get the drop chance code, but this was recently corrected. However, this doesn't mean that Easter eggs will be a guaranteed drop with each adventure. All adventures that were completed before the correction was in place will be taken into consideration via script solution with removal phase 1.
I don't know, I feel like outside of the Trade Office, there should still be a way to get eggs, and I like the idea of Explorers still collecting eggs UNTIL after everything is removed from the event. It makes logical sense too, since they are explorers and who knows where they go to collect resources at, and I feel like they could still theoretically collect eggs until the Easter Shop category is removed. But that's just me. I don't expect it to happen, and it also makes sense why Explorers collecting eggs would be discontinued.Quote:

Because it's ridiculous even still. I really want to know why Christmas was so much different than Easter, because I could get everything from Christmas, including the Rarity Provision house, and I didn't leave with any regrets, why are eggs similar to presents and yet harder to obtain.
I remember making 25 presents per 25 Aunt Irma Baskets, nearly each and every time. Except now, at best you can only get 2-3 eggs for a 25 stack of Aunt Irma's. How are eggs rarer and yet they can be collecting just like presents. Pumpkins were hard because there was no easy way to get them, and were limited, but eggs? What is making them so rare? Is the MMA General really so desirable, that people are being jerks and making other people spend an unjustified large amount of "money" for eggs just because not everyone should have an MMA General?
That's rather cheap and selfish behavior if you ask me. It's times like these I wish I had storage for 200,000 resources or higher, because my 105,000 is just not getting eggs at all. I mean really if people are willing to only sell me at most 40 eggs for 105,000 marble, then there's something wrong with you. Because Marble IS NOT easy to get (in large quantities). Neither are horses and at ~80,000 horses, I refuse to go lower than 450 eggs, because that's 2000 cavalry, and a military unit. Outside of recruits, military units ARE hard to come by, especially when you have to wait until you have 40 horses for ONE cavalry unit. And that makes it the most expensive unit to buy per weapon unit ratio. Sure Cannoners and Elite Soldiers are technically more expensive, but only because of how rare their weapon resources are but they don't require more than 40 weapons.
Besides, 2000 Calvary for less than an experienced explorer, sounds like a reasonable deal. Especially with almost 5 Calvary per egg. So yeah people just don't understand a great deal. But then again I think people at high levels who probably own all the eggs, are probably why it's so hard to get eggs, because they have all these insane amount of resources, I guess 2000 Calvary is chump change for them.
everyone started small and didn't get everything on thier first event. i bring in over 500 eggs a day with explorers and adventures. the same can't be said of last year. just keep grinding away sooner or later you will be able to get all you want from events but it's a patience game remember that
I hope you have figured out how to move resources into your star storage. Say you are at max, 105000. Have your guildmate or friend send you say 50000. It will not fit in your storage so it goes to star. Return the 50000. You now have 50000 in star storage and 55000 in regular storage. You can then continue to add to your regular storage until you reach 105000 again.
Like I said, I wish I had a lot of fast explorers, and I wish I had lots of manuscripts and tomes, then I probably would be able to easily bring in a lot of eggs. I just would hate to have to wait until next Easter, before I have a chance to get the MMA, keep in mind, that while Settlers Online is a patience game and long term game.Quote:

So even if would like to be here next Easter trying for that MMA general, no guarantee it will happen, but I guess that's just the nature of the game and life.
Well, a couple problems with this:Quote:

2. I have been doing this for some resources by using the trade office, sure it may not be as streamlined as your suggestion, because if the trade fails, and you're not quick enough to fix it, it'll be awhile before you can fix it, by sending it to the trade office.
The best item in this event just cost a lot more than we are used to. In previous events up until now, BB has been very generous with event pricing. All players were, somewhat, able to acquire what they wanted and still had some event resource left over. But now, even I will admit, this event and perhaps future events will be geared towards more established players. I wouldn't be surprise that future event items will cost somewhere in the 3000+ resource. You just have to find a way to offset that, like more explorers, crazy trades, or perhaps join a supportive guild.
I didn't get anything (except a village school, which I wisely ignored the naysayers about) on my very first event because I started playing while it was happening, but two months later for Christmas, I got everything. Easter has been a lot rougher because the supply of eggs is not there relative to the price increases and addition of a very costly new general. I was hoping for single digits, but that's clearly a pipe dream. Now I'm just hoping for it to dip into the teens. At the rate I'm going, I think I'll be able to just barely afford everything I want, which is everything other than watermills since they are a joke at these prices.
This is my 3rd easter event, i would suggest people to aim for these items in this order- Scout (to find more eggs), Floaters (limited item and probably NOT be added to already limit in gem shop after event), MMA general, then Vet gen. watermills after that if needed. Reason i put floaters over the gens is because those generals will most likely be added to gem shop after event but i do not think the floaters limit will be raised. With the scout/explorers i would recommend to use book/skills in- increase finding of all loot in all treasure hunts- shorten very long treasure hunts (2/3)- shorten search of ALL hunts (includes treasure adventure and artifact) and then a skill in artifact. During event times send out all your explorers/scouts to find event items on treasure searches and during non event times have them find buffs on artifact searches. I have 18 explorers all maxxed out with these skills- i have not bought/traded for ANY eggs yet and i already finished buying everything i needed for this event (Floaters, Scout, MMA and Vet) and i have +1k eggs left with explorers still bringing them back. IMO eggs/event items lose value in price towards middle/end of event when the majority of the BIG spenders meet their quota on items, so expect at least a slight decrease in price of eggs (could be wrong, you never really know market). Anyways, i hope that helped, happy rabbit hunting

It is time to break bread if you want those eggs hommie.
The market is definitely weakening. I've been seeing them for 22 today. Still too much for me unless I want to dump some resources, but it's getting more reasonable.
Will the shop category be removed in tomorrows maintenance? First post in this thread claims that it will remain in removal phase I, but release notes thread says that it will be removed already tomorrow. Two phase removal makes no sense if you are not able to spend eggs after tomorrow.
Every year this happens, regardless of when you start. Each event starts off high with price of eggs. What did it this year was MMA/Veteran/Floaters/Explorer. That's a lot of items that are wanted by everyone. When phase 1 occurs, usually phase 2 price on eggs drop drastically. If your not a gem user, then getting the eggs without trading is even harder. If your part of a guild, there are several guilds out there who help guildmates out by being active. I remember my first event (halloween) a few yrs ago, I didn't get everything I wanted, then a year later it was a bit easier and then the following one became easy peasy. It just takes time to get to where players are hoarders and able to afford to buy several eggs easily without worry during the event.Quote:

bad bb
I hope to be able to buy quite a few fast explorers (with gems) over the following year, I think I can manage maybe 3 (plus a building license or two), assuming I don't spend my gems on other items.Quote:

This event explorer could be expensive as heck or whatever but it would be extremely useful.
As for "during event" days, the event explorer could bring in double the biggest stack using whatever search, whenever it does bring specific event items, otherwise it still would bring alternative event items, at that low stack number.
The explorer could be called the "Holiday Explorer" or something. And because it is a special unit, it would have its own abilities as in it would have ONE search option (Event Search), and it could take ONE day for it to find event resources. Or maybe if that is too much of a hassle, tweak an explorer, call it an Event Explorer, give it a unique art design, and tweak it so it can (at a % chance) bring in a small stack of event resources along with the usual items it can find.
I'd prefer a Holiday Explorer specifically, but I wouldn't mind merely a tweaked event explorer.
Is this correct? Removal of shop category on Removal I? Does that mean we need to buy all Easter items tomorrow?
"Patch Notes 04/29
EASTER EVENT REMOVAL I
• Shop category removed
• Easter quests canceled and removed"
BB really can't get their information together.Quote:

I saw the patch notes too. It conflicts with the information on the diary.

April 9th, 2014 (after maintenance): Start

May 7th, 2014(with maintenance): Removal phase 2
Removal phase 1 = Deactivation of event, event shop category remains // Removal phase 2 = Event shop category deactivated
We've been trying to get clarification from the BBs, but I was warning Ares last night to get their purchases done "just in case". :(
Hi guys,
I apologize for the confusion. I posted Easter Removal II patch notes with the incorrect date. The patch notes have been updated with the correct date. Easter quests will be canceled and removed during Easter removal Phase 1; the shop category is removed during Easter Phase 2. You can read the correct patch notes here.
Again, my apologies for the confusion.
OK. Thanks for the prompt clarification!Quote:
