Centuries ago, a vast trove of magical eggs vanished from Sikander's vaults while he slumbered. Priests blamed rival gods, the gods blamed greedy mortals, and the poporis simply wanted to know if the eggs tasted good. The eggs resurfaced recently, and a troop of caiman thieves seems determined to pocket the precious treasures wherever they turn up. While no one considers caimans the brightest candles on the cake, these bandits always know where to find one of the magical eggs. Why the caimans want the eggs remains anyone's guess, but the race is on to recover them and snatch the fabulous treasures inside.

As with all legends, details about the eggs are scarce, but everyone agrees that three grades of eggs exist—bronze, silver, and gold. Most carry potent consumables and rare crystals, but rumors persist of exceptional gifts that can change the appearance of your weapon and a mount from hell! Find the caiman thieves as they appear randomly throughout the world, defeat them, and claim these unusual treasures of Sikander for yourself!

The hunt is on!

Do they appear anywhere/everywhere? Or a certain place only?

Any reason why the event is not available throughout the day for weekdays?

So after deciding to have a ninja maintenance on Oceanic prime time last week on a Friday night, now you have decided it's time to hold an event that does not work well for Oceanic players.

I'm not a player that complains much, but seems like the company is trying really hard to upset the Oceanic players.

Some of these times are the same as the nexus times ? D:

4 days of non-nexus time, and a few hours after nexus times.. Don't see the point in complaining on time restrictions, except for the Oceanic players. Kinda sucks for them.

Also, we could use some better laid out information.

Really tired of getting shafted by these time schedules. Not all of us have cushy 9 to 5 jobs with weekends off. I work weekends and afternoons which means i never get to do any of these events. Why can we not have this just run 24/7? Whats the harm in it?

I like how En Masse is finally going as ( well i enjoy this game and the company not much difference but still )

I have heard countless of people whether trolls or not complain that it was stupid they remove eggs and messed up even more the crystal economy but gave a chance for alchemy to blossom ( i enjoy alchemy , never stop making them pots) and they are starting in a control time to see how it affects the economy and what happens to each individual "class" of the item like maybe pots , crystals , powders and such.

I feel bad for oceanic , not their fault that there isn't a company to cater them for specifically but hopefully if this have enough positive feedback , they would extend the time to even favor those of Oceanic :).

if you have to choose between nexus and eggs we;ll , if your not up to lagging in Nexus then go for eggs , if you don't want to scavenge for eggs go for nexus :D

Personally, I still don't get why they schedule things like this, and only at one time of day. If they don't want it to be an all-day every-day thing, give us at least a few times on off-peak hours as well; something like 1am-5am, and 10am-2pm. That'll give everyone time to hop on and join in. I still think it should be just always on during the event, though.

man u guys must love screwing people over ;/ every time u guys start putting times on [filtered] , i get [filtered] in the [filtered] ;/ so cant wait for another MMO to come out

While the time of these events do no inconvenience me in the slightest, I do feel that EME needs to step away from the weekend events and start making them all day events. It is hard to promote a healthy and strong community when you are taking a collective [filtered] on people that can't get away from whatever their commitments might be. This is actually the first game I have played were a regular feature of the game was on a schedule (the nexus). I can understand BIG holiday events being on one (look at the town events in Guild Wars) but even still those had pretty flexible timings. The current schedule simply gives the finger to anyone that cannot login on the weekend.
