between myself and my wife we have over 200 eggs.... guess I'll leave em in the back as novelty items now for guild rewards to players.... I wonder if they took out the transformation catalysts to em as well...

Leggo my Eggo

I'm going to miss the eggs too. They were fun to pop while waiting for a group, and such a unique aspect of the game.

They did indeed provide a bit too many potions perhaps. But couldn't you have just lowered the rate for potion drops but left the eggs alone? They were a good source for safe haven scrolls, green crystals and other fun stuff.

I wonder as well if those catalysts are still around.

WTF EME?! You've just removed the single best source of green crystals in the game - fortune eggs. Not to mention these provided glyph resets, safe haven scrolls, res scrolls, etc... The fortune eggs also regularly dropped alkahest, enough to be a decent supply

These provided so much more than potions and have been in the game since K-Tera's launch, they were never a temporary fix for alchemy.

This seems VERY shortsighted to me, much like the removal of the crystalline boxes which has left us with thousands of useless green crystals rotting on the broker, in banks and in people packs.

Stop removing all the neat little things that make the dame different FFS.

I do like the eggs, I have to admit. EME I would really like to hear how it will unbalance the economy? Why not simply take potions out and leave the other stuff in, maybe instead of potions a few gold to put money into the economy?

I cannot understand with all of this negativity towards changes, the community is already having an issue with trust, why would you keep doing it? I get that changes need to happen, but with something that makes the game unique... That puzzles me.

:< Now I have to work for my potions and other things!
I liked getting them by chance (and for FREE) from the eggs, always gave me something worth keeping or using, never got the materials to level them up to get even luckier with the items they might contain..

This and the mischief boxes being removed is making me sad Q__Q
And why did they move the NPC for the mining quest at Tower Base? SHE WAS FINE WHERE SHE WAS!!!

The alchemy-produced goods were only `part` of the loot table provided by the eggs though.
The equipment obtained through tokens is not good enough to bother with the effort at this time.
So, you've basically crushed your repeatable quests with this change.

Also, where were the `major` recipes for potions during open beta for alchemy - I noticed we couldn't make the higher tier potions... there were only those 3 scroll recipes for the 3 scroll types people don't really use in early game. >_>

It would be great to get a real answer or stance regarding this question and A lot of us really want to know the answer to this:
What do you plan to do about the significantly decreased availability of crystal drops and type changing now that you've removed boxes for conversion of useless crystal types, and higher grade eggs for crystal obtainment?

Oh look.. another feature removed that nobody was complaining about. Well, at least you are consistent.

I really liked the eggs. The little egg cracking open animation was neat. I hate to see this feature go away.

Isn't there something you can change them to to keep them?
