I am now the proud owner of my shiny new Clockwork Portal Trap! Yay! I also had 8,871 gold remaining.

I think I'm gonna go for the Shattered Carmine next.

Congratulations on the Clockwork Portal Trap, FK!

Thank you Mountie In addition to the CP trap, I found this morning that I had enough essences to craft an Icuri. Now I just need the gold and I can make my first attempt at a Shattered Carmine...hopefully by the end of the week thanks to the Charged Eggs.

Once this event is over, I'll probably be spending a fair bit of time between the Warpath and Pinnacle Chamber to recoup some of my gold more quickly.

In case you all didn't see, Gymmie posted on the FB page that they're testing out the transfer of leadership of tournament teams to another player, so that makes me wonder if the next addition to the game will be a big tournament patch. Perhaps it will FINALLY include the endurance and boost tournaments?
For the newer players to the game, the endurance tournaments are actually the older style of tournaments. Same concept as the ones now, except you had a multiplier that grew proportionally to the mice you caught, or it shrunk if you got a lot of FTCs/FTAs. If there was no activity on your team for over an hour, you'd lose the multiplier.
Boost tournaments are new-to-me, but they said they're specifically designed for people who just don't have as much time to play.
Both of these were supposed to go in not long after tournaments were reintroduced, but they got put on the back-burner. I'm hoping that maybe they'll be out soon.

And then of course there's the new Wild West themed area to look forward to...

Congrats on the trap, FK, and good luck on your attempt to catch Shattered Carmine.

I've made it to 48/70 Eggs. I'm guessing I won't be finding more than one or two more before the event ends. I'd really like to get a Black Widow egg, but there's always next year.

We're close to finishing an Elaborate map, and someone had Rare Map dust, so it should have lots of loot when we do finish it. Then I have to focus on recouping gold to finish paying for my Sphynx Crystal.

May I ask what eggs you're still missing stwin?

and someone had Rare Map dust,

Yeah, my husband did.

I've got 61/70 eggs... working on getting the Drheller

May I ask what eggs you're still missing stwin?

Mostly the rare/difficult ones. Also LG/Iceberg.

Aether
BBB
Black Widow
Chrono
Cook
Corrupt
Cursed Librarian
Deep
Desert Nomad
Dhreller
Eclipse
Ethereal Librarian
Fog
Gauntlet Magic
Iceberg
Icewing
Magic
Muridae
Quesodillo
Sarcophamouse
Scavenger
Twisted Lilly

So I moved to the Town of Digby today to try and catch a BBB, but all I kept catching were Nuggets. Two on the same page! That's cray-cray. 45 Limelight in and no BBB attraction yet.

I did take a short break to finish catching the Easter event mice that I hadn't caught yet; so now I have a full Event mice page except for the Prize mice.

As far as eggs go, I'm at 50/70. Here's my list I've been working off of (I added cheese/location to make things simpler for me because I'm spacey like that. )

Mice I have a good chance to get before the event is over:
Fog - Harbor or Mountain ,SB+
Desert Nomad - Muridae Market
Valor - T3
Gauntlet Magic - T5
BBB - Digby, Limelight

Mice I'll try for after the above are done:
Dhreller - Iceburg
Aether - Crystal Library, SB+

Mice I'll try for after ALL the other mice are done. In order of preference, lol:
Assassin - Dojo, Maki or Brie
BW - Lagoon, WG or Gnarled
Cook - SSI, SB+
Crown Collector - Bazaar, Brie

And then there's the 8 LG eggs that I can't access.

So, a little under a week left; we'll see how it goes. So far today is the only day I haven't gotten a new Egg, so hopefully the BBB will show up soon.

I caught 49/70 eggs and had to stop there, since I can't access the other areas. The only ones left I would be able to get were the Eclipse and the Cook; and I don't have enough Gauntlet Cheese to catch the Eclipse in time, and after wasting a bunch of SB+ I gave up on the Cook.

Now I'm in the Chocolate Factory farming High and Medium Charge eggs, in order to get SB+ and Wealth Charms. So far I've got 272 SB+ (which is the most I've ever had at one time), and 1000 Wealth Charms.

I've had an amazing couple of days!

I struggled with the Assassin and the BBB, andI decided to do something else for a while. I wanted to go back to FG and AR, but I needed more runic potions for the cheese (I had runes, but wanted to save them for the Ice Maiden).

JoD is a good place for those potions, now that I've bought the CoT - and I could also collect the items for crafting the ABT. I had done so much work to prepare for that. I had even crafted all the colors of Havarti.

So I spent a few hours collecting ABT parts and runic potions, then went to FG (and crafted the ABT) half an hour before closing time. And after an hour or two, I caught my first Acolyte!

The Mysterious Box contained a lot of runes, and I was taken by surprise and realised that I was ready to craft my Ice Maiden as well - so I crafted both weapons in less than three hours

Next I managed to get a Lich - with a Lich Egg - and then I went to Dracano and got that little one first, but he had a Dragon Ember! And then I caught my first Dragon, with an Egg and a Dragon chest with another Dragon Ember. If I get a third Ember soon, I might even be able to go to Balack's Cove while the Spring Egg Hunt lasts.

Oh, and I got the Tier 4 and Tier 5 Gauntlet eggs as well. I've got a potion for Tier 6 - I might try it, and just see how far I get.

There are still some eggs I can try to get, before I reach the limit from being just a Knight. MH is down just now, so I cannot check on my egg catch numbers, but somewhere around 45 Bonus Eggs.

But I must have more than 200 each of High and Medium Charge Eggs - which means 3 mill gold just from those, in addition to everything else. I bought the CoT with event gold, and now I'm back at well over 2 mill again. Should manage another mill before Monday. Especially if I catch more Dragons ...

Congrats on all your progress today Varna That's very cool. I noticed you had another item to add to your pile... Balack's Lantern. Woohoo!

Slightly bummed that the game has been down for a good portion of the day. It happens so it's not a big deal. Just hoping they fix the Treasure Hunt map that vanished (We were two mice away AND it was rared). It also cost me my first attempt at a Shattered Carmine, but eh, I probably won't catch her anyways.

I do have a feeling that the event will be extended another full day to compensate for the down time today.

MH is still being super super buggy for me. . . but I've managed to get some charge charms. . . and I loved the fact that my treasure hunt was completed, and that I got a super awesome chest

I started the event with about 400K gold. After about a week I was able to buy the CoT for 2,7 mill - and went down to about 20K. Now I'm up at 2,7 mill again - partly due to the special treasure chest - but also due to 200 of each of High Charge and Medium Charge eggs.

Thanks to the upgrade in completed treasure chests (yay!) I had more than enough gold to craft my first Shattering Charm. Woo, those things are pricey! So my immediate to-do list looks like this.

~Max out my Eggscavator Charms again (3 more to go)
~Max out my Red Dewdrops (2 more to go)
~Head over to the Sand Crypts and get one Lunaria Petal
~Return to the Twisted Garden and attempt a Shattered Carmine

All while patiently battling lag and game crashes.

ETA: Well I attempted a Shattered Carmine... four pieces of Lunaria and didn't even attract one. The good news is that I didn't lose my charm so I can try again on the next round of Lunaria.

Before the Egg hunt, I was simultaneously working on farming flameshards so I can get the Warpath traps and doing Library research so I can catch Zurreal. I just switched back and forth depending on which season it was in the Seasonal Garden and how bored I was with the locations. Currently doing the Charge Egg cycles because I like the loot and travelling around pretty randomly to catch the other eggs. I'm hoping to get the Muridae eggs before the event ends, but other than that I'm just sort of cruising through this event without actively hunting any of the hard eggs. I did do one run through the Tower because the current Library research I'm on called for at least one Technic run anyway.
