Story

 * See also: The Egg Seekers Dialogue

Every year during this season, monsters all over the world begin dropping metal eggs as if by magic.

Rumor has it these metal eggs can be used to summon forth unique materials to forge rare and powerful equipment.

Seeing this fortunate occurrence as the perfect opportunity to craft their own legendary items, the heroes of Lapis set off to gather these precious materials.

Event Tips

 * Event rundown:
 * Get metal eggs from any battle within the world map.
 * Store up to 99999 metal eggs in your party inventory to free up item space!
 * Use metal eggs for egg summon to get red, blue, and rainbow eggs.
 * Use red eggs and blue eggs to craft chocolate eggs and great eggs. They can be found in your Accessory tab.
 * Use the rainbow eggs to buy recipes from the Innkeeper and Xon in the town located in the vortex. They are also required to craft magical eggs and radiant eggs.
 * Craft exclusive equipment.
 * Explorations give out more metal eggs than dungeons, but will take significantly more time to kill all of the enemies.
 * An average of 30 battles (15 battles in Zone 1 and 15 battles in Zone 2) will need to be fought per exploration to maximize the yield of metal eggs.
 * You can increase your rate of encountering enemies by making Rain run in circles when exploring the map. It seems running in circles includes many short diagonal steps that count as 2 steps (1 vertical and 1 horizontal). Running in circles doubles your steps and increases your chances of encountering battles much faster than running in a vertical, horizontal or long diagonal paths. This method was tested successfully in Zoldaad Map, Invincible "Interior Exploration" during Egg Seekers event.
 * Higher story dungeons will drop more metal eggs.
 * For maximum eggs per energy, do dungeons or explorations in Zoldaad Empire and Mysidia.
 * Metal eggs can be stolen from enemies, and it's always guaranteed steal.
 * Note, however, there are certain enemies which you cannot steal from as they cannot drop anything.
 * Ensure that you steal from all parts of an enemy. e.g. Architeuth and its tentacles.
 * You can use Xon's Rash Impulse to 100% paralyze Dark Fina (Story Monster) and Veritas of the Earth (Monster) when farming for metal eggs on Fina's Psyche Frontlines - Power on Power
 * Treasure Hunter or its equivalent skills are placebo, and may or may not give more eggs. More research is needed.
 * There is a bug that prevents you from getting recipes in the event town if you exited from the menu. Make sure to complete the quest by walking out of the town instead.
 * To speed up crafting time, put the eggs recipe at the top of crafting list by sorting it in the descending order.
 * Event story and cutscene:
 * Enter the egg seekers town from the Vortex.
 * Enter the inn to talk about the eggs.
 * Go outside and talk to Aiden.
 * Go back to the inn to talk about Xon.
 * Xon will appear outside, talk to him.
 * Go back to the inn for another cutscene.
 * Once you craft a Staff of Wrath, return to the inn and speak to Aiden. By giving the staff to him, you will receive 5000 metal eggs when you leave the town. This will not consume the Staff of Wrath.

Xon's Guide To Steal Everything

 * Xon is highly recommended for players who plan to farm explorations during this event. His Waylay ability steals from all enemies (at increased chance due to Bandit (Ability)) is very efficient. However, his Steal Gil ability will automatically obtain gil in addition to items, which can mess up your plans if you keep track of encounters using the gil gained from each zone.
 * Fortunately, the steal amount is the same as the kill amount (for the majority of monsters). This doubles the total gil obtained. If you double the Gil value for each zone and make sure you Waylay every encounter, you can keep track that way.
 * The only exceptions are the bosses, who may not always have the same amount for steal as for the kill (e.g.: Wandering One at Fire Shrine gives 140 gil from steal, 250 gil from kill).
 * However, if you gear up Xon and give him MP around 360, then you can track the battles by his remaining MP as if you spam Waylay every battle.
 * The following are gil-adjusted tables of recommended exploration areas and the total possible gil to be obtained. They assume the player will use Xon to steal from every encounter (every single opponent):
