I didn't get rid of all my cupcakes, but most of them. When I realized the event area had turned into the vacant lot, I went back to Zokor to finish my treasury run. What showed me that the Spring Egg Hunt had started, was Molten Midas suddenly dropping a Zokor Treasury Egg and an Unstable Crystal Egg as well as his usual Unstable Crystal. Nice surprise
I want to mostly do Laby/Zokor eggs before anything else, but I've just been on a train and got my first (and second) Magmatic Golem (with eggs).
There's still Aether, Chrono and Drheller, as well as a couple of Sunken City eggs. They may have to wait for next year.
The Century egg will definitely have to wait for next year - I need about 45 silvers to get it.
But soon I'll start on my very first Minotaur run.

I'm caught up on all the previous years's eggs!
Dhreller and the Magmatic Golem were my last ones and boy did they try my patience. Now all I have to do is make several Labyrinth/Zokor runs before the event ends.
I need both Treasury eggs, both Farming eggs, the Fealty and Scholar eggs, and the Extreme Stealth egg. If I can manage decent runs for Fealty and Farming, I think I'll be set.

Congrats on finishing up all the old eggs stwin!
I got my last egg yesterday late afternoon, so I am done. Because i was playing via my phone I wasn't able to see how I placed, but when I checked late last night there were 118 people who were done, so I still finished well. I did give up some speed for finishing because I didn't want to waste all the loot from the Scholar and Tech hallways.
Now I'm making my way through the last of the Fealty Hallway in Zokor. I have three minotaur keys currently with the supplies to craft a fourth if needed. I'm planning on making the most of those keys while the egg hunt is still going on and I"m hoping I can craft at least one trap and/or base before the month is up.
I'm down to just 5 eggs I need to collect: Nightshade, Scholar, Extreme Stealth, and the two Treasury eggs. I'm going to try to get as much out of this Fealty run and then we'll see what's the best run to try next.

Just about to get into Zokor for my last egg (Fealty) and then it's Mino, Mino, Mino. Might as well take advantage of the extra loot while I can.
Congrats Gymmie! And I hope you get lots of good loot from the Minotaur.
By the end of this event, I will at least have SOMETHING to show for my multiple runs through the Laby/Zokor.
I have...
4/6 Really, Really Shiny Precious Gold
1/2 Temporal Shadow Plate
0/1 Essence of Destruction
0/1 Enigmatic Core
And I have two (3?) keys left.
Currently doing the world's slowest farming run and then it'll be another Mino run after that.
I've also been really happy lately that we're making good progress on our Rainbow map. I was worried that we wouldn't be able to finish it before the Furoma Rift was released. Now it looks like a definite possibility. The Theurgy Warden is definitely the most difficult on the map. The Fiery Warpath isn't a good one to set up for overnight though. Can't do anything if you get a streak....
I'm currently on the world's slowest Mino run, but at least I've used probably the least amount of supplies of any run thus far...one magnet and 2-3 cubes. Of course I have one more hallway to do after this and it has to be a medium Scholar or better, so I might have to shuffle a lot if I don't get lucky, lol.
All done with the charge cycling because I finally worked through all of my Charge charms and wanted to start saving supplies for next year. I need to see if I can figure out exactly how many Charge eggs I looted this year, but it was a stupid large amount. I must have gotten close to 500-600 SB+; it felt like it. I didn't really keep track.
Used up the Diamond cheese I'd been saving from the Winter event and got my Fungal Cavern theme, finally! So now I'm officially "done" with that area, although it will probably be my go-to "farming" area for when I can't tend the horn, as you can always use more Nightshade!
On my final Mino run before the egg event ends. I'm trying to decide if I want to do a fealty or farming run next. I plan to spend as much time in the Laby as possible before Tuesday. Then I'll concentrate on finishing up the treasure map in anticipation for the Furoma Rift. The two mice I've seen Jacob draw look quite awesome.
ETA: Hurrah! My Mino dropped an Enigmatic Core and i just happened to have enough supplies to craft my Infinite Labyrinth Trap, which is the one I wanted the most.
There's still Aether, Chrono and Drheller, as well as a couple of Sunken City eggs. They may have to wait for next year.
The Century egg will definitely have to wait for next year - I need about 45 silvers to get it.
But soon I'll start on my very first Minotaur run.
I got those last Sunken City eggs, but not the Aether. I didn't even try Chrono or Drheller. From Zokor I need the Decrepit Tentacle and Minotaur Eggs. As soon as I finish my current Farming run - which reached 105 stealth and gave me some Extreme Stealth eggs - I'll start on that very first Minotaur run. I hope I can finish one before Tuesday, I have 3 keys. It should be doable, as long as I don't make any stupid decisions (or come across some extreme DHU).
Hopefully I'll end up with only 4 eggs missing after this event:
Aether, Century, Chrono and Drheller.
I'm also trying to use up some more of my Charge eggs to gather more SB+ (and gold) for crafting GG cheese. This farming run has given me plenty of Nightshade.

Congratulations Varna on finishing up those Sunken City eggs. I bet next year you'll have time to snag those three rare eggs... or even just one or two depending on whatever craziness is thrown at us this upcoming year and the resulting eggs next year.
I am slowly grinding my way through the Laby, hoping to get one last run in before the end of the egg hunt, just to boost my Fealty supplies. I think I will at least get into Zokor. I realized that due to pushing for as many Minotaur runs as possible, I've depleted my supplies for when I get my last Shiny Gold, and hence the Mino Base.
I'm currently at 93/700 Fealty, 370/700 Tech, and 179/700 Scholar. I still have quite a ways to go, but I'm also getting a bit restless in the Laby.
Looking forward to a change of scenery (yay Rift Furoma!).
I'm well into the Laby part of my first Minotaur run. I have 32 Fealty clues, 31 Sholar clues and 3 Tech clues - and 17 Dead Ends. I can craft more than 30 cubes or magnets, and I may well need a few of them - unless I can get a very good Tech hallway next.
Trouble is, I need to change into passive hunting soon and play passively overnight and during work hours tomorrow - and by the time I can play actively again, there will only be three or four hours left of the event. I very much doubt that I can finish the run within that time span - so there will probably be the Decrepit Tentacle Egg and the Minotaur Egg as well to leave for next year.
Unless I can get a very good Tech hallway next (and leave it for passive hunting overnight).
Edit:
I didn't finish it on time to get the eggs, so I have left it for now to do the Sunken City bonus hunting instead. I did use a few cubes and magnets, and I believe I'm into the final hallway now, so I'll return when the SC mini event is finished and hopefully get to hunt the Mino then.

So guess who used up almost all of her oxygen trying to get the bubbling egg and never got it. *sigh* I've gotten a few Ancient Dive Crates so I'm hoping I won't have to resurface for awhile. Still, not a single oxygen stream when I've travelled more than 39,000m is kind of annoying.
That's really frustrating Dot. Are you done with the Sunken City otherwise? Or still working on it? If you're done you can always find an oxygen stream and then save it for next year's egg hunt... though that's a long wait.
I spent maybe three hunts in the Sunken City before changing my mind and deciding not to spend time there. All I'm there for is for King's Credits which just isn't a high priority for me. I would prefer to spend my hunting time finishing up the Laby with treasure maps for breaks.
Currently doing a farming run followed by a scholar hall. Then another Mino run to see what trap piece I get to drop.
I still need to get the shark traps. I'm thinking I'll just leave it be for awhile and work on Rift stuff and maps instead. Especially since I've caught all the SC mice so I'm just gathering money, sand dollars, and a predatory processor at this point. I doubt I'll ever go deeper than this dive which is currently sitting at 42,260m with 35 oxygen left.
The predatory processors are just under 1mil gold right now on the Marketplace. I don't know how much gold you have to throw around, but that's not too bad. You may need to farm gobs of sand dollars anyways.
Let me know if you want me to work on nabbing the last mouse on the treasure map if you're busy with other things. I'm at the very beginning of Wave 1 though so it'll take me a while.
