I have finally rebuilt the Cartographer in MM and bought the Living Garden key - about 19 hours until I can pick it up. If the Dukes/Duchesses still are busy with the Spill then, I'll venture into the Garden until Countesses are allowed into the Spill

Meanwhile I'm in AR, currently hunting the Gate Guardian. The catch rate is good, I've even bronzed him - but he's NOT dropping an EGG!
If he drops it before I leave to fetch the Key, I'll try to hunt for the Chrono afterwards. Don't know about drop rate or catch rate, but my impression is that he's got a much lower attraction rate.

My Eggscavator is down, I'm using Eggstra charms at the moment. I never buy them, I just get more and more from High Charge eggs. I've got at least 50 more Eggstra charms now than I had a couple of days ago.

At some point I also have to go back to the Factory to farm more MM cheese and buy more Charge charms. Then I can recharge somewhere where I can live without using the Eggstra charms. Usually I recharge in the Factory, but right now I'd rather hunt in 3 other areas for a while ...

Got my first Eclipse mice! 30 pieces of T7 netted me 3 Eclipses; so I'm pretty pleased with that. Still have about 70ish T5 left which I may try and get through later, but now I'm off to hunt some uncaught eggs. Going to try my luck at the Gate Guardian egg since I'll be kind of busy this weekend and won't be able to babysit my horn. Here's hoping he doesn't take too long to drop his loot, lol.

I've only caught a few mice in Living Garden, and no eggs, then I've left to do the Count level of the Spill.
There's a lot to learn about the mechanics of the LG area - so far I've only been pottering around, staying out of the twisted world, and hunting for easy mice.

And lots of the LG mice are so pretty!

Varna, congrats on getting into the Living Garden! I don't remember what
kind of drop rate I had on eggs there but it sure seemed like it was more than what I'm getting in the Toxic Spill. (I think I've gotten a total of two Clean eggs so far ) Perhaps that's because there was more of a variety to drop?

After observing the overall Scoreboard for a few days, I decided to fast track my attempt to get my Washboard Base so I've started buying Super Rotten Charms off the Marketplace. The catch rate with the base is vastly superior as the people that already had it flew by me with their score. I don't care about the scoreboard so much as I would love to make any improvement I can to get to Archduchess faster....
Currently 274/400 soapy suds.

My strategy had been to take a break during the Baroness and Lady TS levels to farm more Rift eggs and cycle some charge charms. You know, actually make some gold back since I've been breaking even for a long time and now spending a hefty amount on Super Rotten Charms? If I do that, will I be able to get enough Soapy Suds this Toxic Spill? Decisions decisions.

My charge eggs run is over. I'm heading to the tower in an effort to get at least one of the two king eggs. I've not yet successfully done a double run, so I'm not sure if it'll happen or not. After this, I'm heading back to the iceberg to go after the Living Salt egg. I've had zero luck with the rift egg.

Uncaught eggs:

Gargantua
Gnawnia Rift
Living Salt
Magmatic Golem
Mystic King
Technic King

I've decided to go ahead and charge some eggs during the Baron part of the Spill. I actually got a fair amount of soapy suds yesterday so that makes me feel pretty good about my chances of crafting the Washboard Base this spill. 313/400 87 suds to go.

I'm currently in the Rift charging eggs and farming any and all Rift supplies I can get. I'm not sure what to expect with the upcoming new content but at least two mice Jacob has drawn look Rift-y so I think having extra supplies would be a good idea.

I went to the Spill for the Count level, and now I'm back in Living Garden. I went for a little while into Sand Dunes and got a Quesodillo with an Egg, but I didn't have enough cheese to stay there for long - it's better to stay in Living Garden until I get more Dewthief Petals.

I feel somewhat lost in the new area, with Petals and Essences and Minigames - but so far I like it. I love the graphics, and I know that I'm going to get used to the new mechanics eventually. It seems that the Minigames usually require use of charms, so I won't do those while I'm using Charge and Eggstra charms ...

So far I've got 3 different eggs, Quesodillo, Thistle and Living Garden, and most of them more than once. I'll proably try Lost City tomorrow - I don't know when I'll be ready for the Twisted world, though, and that means that there are some eggs that may have to wait for later.

But I'm definitely enjoying the new area!

I feel somewhat lost in the new area, with Petals and Essences and Minigames - but so far I like it.

Felt the same way. Read over the linked Strategy Guide (Spheniscine's) and found it helpful until I figured it out.

My goal there is to obtain better traps for even more epic KG runs

I got my first Eclipse! I actually think I like the King's Gauntlet well enough when I have decent traps for the upper levels.

I'm now back to working on my M400 assignment for the time being. We'll see if I have the patience for this Finder mouse. I'll probably flit back to the LG areas and Toxic Spill some as well, but I'm going to try to finish my M400 assignment and nab any missing eggs I can along the way.

Moving up my egg list as well:

Aether
Big Bad Burroughs
Black Widow
Chrono
Cook (not likely to try for)
Deep (not trying again for Iceberg this year)
Dhreller (not trying again for Iceberg this year)
Fog
Gargantua * (Not likely)
Gate Guardian *
Living Salt * (not trying again for Iceberg this year)
M400 * (working on assignment)
Mage Weaver *
Magic
Magmatic Golem * (may or may not try for again)
Mystic King * (did not get this one in my tower run; not likely to try again this year)
Scavenger

(* denotes egg added this year)

Edit: Well, I got the Finder mouse. Now, I am trying for a Captain (and I'm hoping for a Cook Egg while I'm here).

Edit 2: I'm up to step 7: Catch a Barkshell Mouse. I'm out of Duskshade, so I'm currently farming supplies to head back into the Twisted Garden. I'm also hoping for a few LG area eggs along the way. (I've already collected them all, but more supplies would be great. )

Time for an Egg update!

Current Uncaught Eggs:
Fiery Warpath
Gargantua Egg
Iceburg
Icewing's General Egg
Living Salt Egg
Living Garden
Thistle Egg
Twisted Lilly
Dojo
Assassin Egg
Lost City
Ethreal Librarian Egg
Sand Dunes
Quesodillo Egg
Zugzwang's Tower
Mystic King Egg

So I was able to make a pretty large dent in my Uncaught Eggs over the last week, although it doesn't feel like it. Went into the Spill for about a day or so, nabbed a few of each egg (I was surprised, lol). Went into the Rift this morning and got both eggs quickly so now I'm finishing up my Lunaria Camembert and then will be heading into the Normal LG for the eggs there.

I put a good-sized dent in my Iceburg run...of course I would have had to stop my run RIGHT after a General, lol. Thinking back, in the interest of saving time I probably should have bought a Cold Fusion Bomb, terminated my run and then started over from the beginning for a Deep run so the Living Salt mouse would be guaranteed. Ah well. I'll head back there later if I feel so inclined.

I *may* just leave the Living Salt, Garga and Mystic King egg for next year if it appears that the event will end soon. These eggs will be "easy" (relatively speaking) to "set up" next year, so I can have them ready to go and can knock them out quickly, saving time. I want to stock up on LG eggs so I can get OUT of that area once and for all, lol. I also have a good supply of Charge charms since I haven't been using any for awhile, so I want to lay in a supply of those eggs.

As for the Assassin, I'll probably do my charge cycle in the Dojo so I'm at least making use of the time, lol.

I collected the Mage Weaver egg and made it to step 9 on my M400 assignment: Bionic in the Meadow. I've had this one a few times before. Here's hoping he comes to me quickly. Once I've finished the M400, I plan on trying to catch the SB+ eggs in the Harbour (Magic, Fog and BW) and farm Charge Eggs for a bit before camping out in the LG areas.

Aether
Big Bad Burroughs
Black Widow
Chrono
Cook (not likely to try for)
Deep (not trying again for Iceberg this year)
Dhreller (not trying again for Iceberg this year)
Fog
Gargantua * (Not likely)
Gate Guardian *
Living Salt * (not trying again for Iceberg this year)
M400 * (working on assignment)
Magic
Magmatic Golem * (may or may not try for again)
Mystic King * (did not get this one in my tower run; not likely to try again this year)
Scavenger

Eggscavator Charges and Eggstra Charms can be smashed by the Hunter's Hammer to make Dark Chocolate Charms. Helpful

As always, congrats to anyone and everyone who has managed to snag a difficult (or just new ) egg.

I got my Washboard Base this afternoon. Yay! Now I need Soapy Suds for the POWN skin, but I'm not in much of a hurry on that. I'm just glad I have that base for the next spill. I wasn't sure if I'd get it in time, but I finished with lots of spill to spare.

Next on my list, get the Thirsty Mouse for our LG treasure map, and then I guess it's back to the Rift for more Rift eggs.

It took most of the day, but I got my Bionic. The M400 was in the Meadow as well, so I didn't have to go far.

Aether
Big Bad Burroughs
Black Widow

I'm currently in the Harbour going for Fog, Magic and BW eggs. If I get one or two, I'll be satisfied. I'm not gunning for all 3.

Edit: 1 down: Fog
Edit 2: Magic down as well.
