Past event - Easter egg hunt

Post by +Colibri »

I'm inviting you all to an easter event, we will be searching for easter eggs!

Inside the eggs, you will be able to find sweets, gold, tokens, even excelsior dollars!


The eggs will be placed on friday, 14th april, at 6PM CET (5PM UK, noon EST). They will be left there for a week to be found.
There are a total of 50 easter eggs, 40 of them will be quite easy to find but have smaller rewards inside. The 10 others (glowing colors) have better rewards in them, including very useful items, but will be hidden in special places.

They are set so they wont decay until they are found, but once you pick them up they will become like any item (1 hour decay time if left on the ground). When you doubleclick them, they turn into a bag, then doubleclick the bag and it will open.

Hints of where the eggs might be: they will all be in places that are used for something and visited daily. For example there wont be any eggs placed in dungeon Doom, or in the middle of some forrest. They will all be in some building or at some spot that has a meaning. It is very useful to enable your circle of transparency (options menu, bottom-right UO icon, enable circle of transparency) since some might be behind walls.

There are a total of 100 excelsior dollars in all of the eggs.

Good luck! :D

not sure what you mean... if you are wondering about where they will be placed - probably towns in trammel, maybe around malas and tokuno aswell.
