Festival of Neggs Event Guide

Clue: One wants an answer
The other would like some food
Please them both and "win"

Location: Somewhere around the Haunted Woods / Deserted Fairgrounds / Neovia (different for everyone). You do not need to accept any Brain Tree/Esophagor/etc. quests in order for a Negg to show up.

Clue: Riches aplenty lie under the sun,
But water for drinking there is none;
Seek shelter and learn what may be worse;
Step wrong here and find yourself cursed.

Location: Somewhere around The Lost Desert / Sakhmet City / Qasala.

Clue: A bouncing JubJub, capsules of mystery,
Racks upon racks of customisation finery,
What magic will open the door
Of this most impressive store?
Neocash is what's necessary!

Location: The main NC Mall page (refresh until you see "Pink Striped Plastic Negg" for free, then click "Claim it"). You will also get a free Neggstravaganza toy Negg (go to the "Neggstravaganza" section of the Mall, scroll down, and click on it to open it).

If you don't have access to the NC Mall, then the striped Negg will be somewhere around Roo Island.

Clicking on the striped Negg from either location will deposit the following bonus item into your inventory:

Clue: A Tonu stands guard
He thinks you need more learning
Better luck next time

Location: Somewhere around Moltara City / Moltara Caves.

Clue: There once was a great king;
For him, food was the most interesting thing.
Someone told him a joke,
And he started to choke --
He should learn not to laugh while eating!

Location: Somewhere around Meridell / Meridell Castle / Meridell Farm.

Clue: Where'd they ever find
A burger that size, anyhow?
You'd think it would spoil.

Location: Somewhere around Neopia Central / Neopian Bazaar / Neopian Plaza / The Neopian Marketplace / The Deep Catacombs.

Clue: Two items go in; one comes out.
Ninjas lurk nearby, without doubt!
Kougras guard Petpets and warn of heat.
0, 2, or 5 gives a treat.

Location: Somewhere around Mystery Island / The Lost City of Geraptiku.

Clue: Where music does sing to the stones,
It'll shake you right down to your bones.
All the Neopets scream
For Yes Boy Ice Cream,
But I prefer Sticks 'N' Stones.

Location: Somewhere around Tyrannia (including the Concert Hall)/Tyrannian Plateau / The Volcano.

Clue: Upon clouds no more
Doth sit this magical source
Of healing and jobs

Location: Somewhere around Faerieland / Faerie City (including the Hidden Tower).

Clue: Avast! Pirates, ye be not welcome
Where sun is seen but seldom;
Here schools are full and shoes are free;
Alas, dinner requires a spending spree.

Location: Somewhere around Maraqua / The Ruins of Maraqua.

Clue: They keep on packing
With plans of leaving one day
Somehow, I doubt it

Location: Somewhere around Happy Valley / Ice Caves / Terror Mountain.

Clue: A dark tomb lurks above,
While books tell of doom thereof
In a building with many stories,
Ancient treachery, and future glory.

Location: Somewhere around Altador (including Altador Water Distribution Plant, Clouds, Perfectly Flat Rock Quarry, The Altadorian Docks, The Old Follies Farm, The Restive Tomb, bulletin boards inside the Altadorian Archives, stairs/council/statues inside the Hall of Heroes, punch club inside the Colosseum).

Clue: The Captain greets you
Stay less than a quarter hour
They don't take NP

Location: Somewhere around Krawk Island (including Fungus Cave).

Clue: While exploring, you may see a lever
That warns you not to pull it ever.
But if you insist,
Some NP will be missed,
But an avatar could appear whenever!

Location: Somewhere around Virtupets Space Station Supply Deck / Recreation Deck / Hangar.

Clue: Where rainbows become a breakable thing,
One seeks wisdom worthy of a king,
You can read it from scrolls
In grassy, fruit-filled knolls,
Or win it by Wheel-spinning!

Location: Somewhere around Brightvale.

Clue: Here, they follow the moon,
A Gnorbu to it is attuned.
Each year, a festival is thrown
With parties and fireworks well-known.
Soon cherry blossoms the trees will festoon.

Location: Somewhere around Shenkuu.

Excuse me, what was that again? Sorry, but I'm afraid I was so busy that I didn't notice you speaking to me at first. Now, you were saying? Yes, yes... the Festival of Neggs. Can you believe it's that time of year already? I've put so much effort into the rebuilding of Faerieland and my duties at the Neggery that I haven't had time to work on a booth. You don't suppose you could help me, could you? I'd be most appreciative...

Oh, you will? That would really help a lot, thanks. The first thing I'll need is some basic building materials. There's a shop - you know, the one with all the bamboo? That'd be an ideal place to start. We don't have much time, though, so you'd best be quick - the festival will be here soon!

Solution: Go to the Neopian Furniture shop.

Furniture Builder: Welcome to the Furniture Shop! Have a look around and feel free to let me know if I can help you with - materials, you say? Well, there's a vendor who stops in a couple of times a week. The foreman, I believe he's called. That's who usually supplies the raw materials we turn into furniture. If you'll leave me your contact information I ca - whoa! Okay, I guess you must be in a hurry. So long!

Solution: Visit the Hall of Heroes. If you've completed the Altador Plot, visit the statue of The Sleeper (the one the orange Yurble is standing beside). If you haven't completed it, then click on the small orange Yurble janitor.

Angry Yurble: ARRGGH!!! What do YOU want?!? ... I've been so busy I haven't even had a chance to eat today, so I honestly couldn't care less about your lousy materials. Go AWAY!!!

Solution: Go to the Chocolate Factory and refresh until you see an item named "Delicious Chocolates" priced at 0 Neopoints. Buy it. Then head back to the janitor (either here or here).

Prize:

Angry Yurble: I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU T - oh hey, what's that you've got there? For me, really? Alright, what's the catch? Materials, eh? Fine, there's a bunch of wood out back. You can go ahead and take some, but you've gotta chop it for yourself. Now, if you don't mind, I'll just be turning my attention to these lovely chocolates. *glares*

Solution: Click on the "wood" part to be taken to the wood cutting page. At the bottom is the number and size of planks you need. Pay attention to how it looks (whether it needs to be cut from the left or right)! Here is a cutting guide if you need extra help. (If it's not clearing/resetting your marks properly, then refresh the page.)

Prize:

Angry Yurble: You're back? It's about time! Since you got what you needed without causing a minor catastrophe, I've decided to make you something from a few pieces of wood I had laying around... wait, what? You dare ask for ANOTHER favour?!? Why, you ingra-... oh, I see. Sure, I'll answer your question. *sigh* as far as the tools you're seeking, your best bet's to find a place with the heat capable of forging them. Now, begone! *throws box of partially eaten chocolates at you*

Solution: Go to Lampwyck's Lights Fantastic.

Lampwyck: Hot enough in here for you? Hehe. So, how can I be of service? ... Tools, huh? You mean, like, hammers and nails and such? I believe I have some of those things down in the basement. I've got to stay up here and mind the shop, but you're welcome to go and have a look down there. It's far too dark to just go rooting around, though. Here, take this lamp so you can see what you're doing.

Solution: Click on the "Investigate Basement" button.

Lampwyck: You head down into the basement. The shopkeeper was right; it sure is dark down here. OUCH! That hurt. Ugh, cobwebs! *cough, cough*, thank goodness he gave you the lamp... Straining your eyes to look around with one hand extended to swipe away any more *surprises* you might encounter, you finally find the tools you're looking for and head back up the stairs. Whew!

Solution: Click on the "Return Upstairs" button.

Prize:

Lampwyck: There you are. *thunderous sneeze, followed by sniffle* I should've warned you, the dust down there's out of control. So, did you find what you were looking for? That's good... well, glad to be of help. Feel free to keep the lamp; it's a discontinued model that I no longer stock, anyhow. Give my best to Kari, and good luck getting ready for the Negg Festival!

Solution: Click on the "Return to Kari" button.

You've returned! I was starting to wonder how you were doing. Were you able to track everything down? It looks like you've got it all. May I take a look?

Solution: Click on the "Give Kari Supplies" button.

Prize:

Oh, good to see you're back. I really appreciate the way you helped me last time. The booth's been built and it's rather sturdy, but now I need to make it look nice. Do you think you could help me find some decorations?

Thank Fyora! I was hoping you'd be able to help. I've been thumbing through this book that I found about booth decorating, which has some really good ideas, but most of the best designs seem to involve a good bit of fabric. It's going to take a lot of cloth to properly decorate this booth, but after the job you did on the last quest I gave you, I'm sure you'll be up to the task. Good luck, and don't delay!

Solution: Go to Unis Clothing Shop

*mumbling dismissively* Oh hey, welcome to Unis Clothing. What can I do for you? Spare fabric? No, I'm afraid not. In fact, rather than my usual shipment of faboo fabrics, I got... this. Ugh! Dull, dull, dull. My order must've gotten switched with someone else's... saaay, why don't you make yourself useful and find this dreadful fabric's original destination for me? If you do and they have what I ordered, I promise you can have a nice big swatch of what you bring back. Deal? Alright, run along now!

Solution: Go to Prigpants & Swolthy, Tailors.

Thank goodness, our fabric! We were aghast when we opened the parcel, expecting our usual assortment of tasteful material, only to be blinded by a most vibrant array of iridescent rags! Are we correct to assume that you'll willingly hand over our shipment in exchange for this frightful fabric of which we have no use? Splendid! Thank you, and good day...

Solution: Return to Unis Clothing.

Well, well... look who finally showed up! I got tired of waiting for you to return, so I went ahead and put in for another order of fabric. Oh well, I won't have to order more for next month. While you were gone, I gathered a few scraps and made you a shirt, in case you might actually return. Here you go - I'm sure it'll look really good on you.

Accept Shirt

Solution: Click on the "Accept Shirt" button.

Prize:

Something you might want to keep in mind... speaking as someone who knows a thing or two dozen about decorating with fabric - you're gonna need more than just some cloth to get yourself a real fabooth. My suggestion would be to find a Neopian with a truly majestic sense of style. Someone other than me, though - I've already been more than generous with you, and I wouldn't want word to get around that I'm some sort of pushover. Okay, now get going...

Solution: Visit the Neopedia entry for Princess Lunara.

Princess Lunara: Yes, how may I help you? ... I can tell you're nervous. It's alright. Go on, now... you'd like help decorating a booth? Okay, let's see. Could you describe it to me? ... Hmm. I think an arrangement of cherry blossoms is what you're looking for. If you were to gather some up, I'd be willing to arrange them.

Solution: Play Top Chop, successfully chop the block at least once, and send a score. (You may need to refresh the game page after playing.)

Your skill and concentration are rare, indeed! As a reward for such a masterful display, here are the cherry blossoms that you seek. They're quite lovely this time of year, and I'm sure they'll make an excellent addition to the booth you're putting together. Best of luck on your travels!

Return to Princess Lunara

Solution: Click on the "Return to Princess Lunara" button.

Princess Lunara: You're back, and I see you've brought some cherry blossoms with you. May I take a look? ... Yes, these are very lovely; they'll make a fine arrangement. I'll go ahead and arrange these for you now, if you'd like...

Wait As She Arranges Flowers

Solution: Click on the "Wait As She Arranges Flowers" button.

Princess Lunara: Okay, so how does this look? ... Thank you, you're so kind. As it turns out, after putting together your arrangement there were enough blossoms left over to make this necklace. Do you like it? Oh, that's so nice of you to say. Very well, then... good luck with the booth!

Return to Kari

Solution: Click on the "Return to Kari" button.

Prize:

Hello, there! It appears as though you've brought back some beautiful fabrics and flowers. I'm sure we'll be well on our way to having a gorgeous booth once everything is in place. Here, I'll just take these and get started...

Hand Kari Decorations

Solution: Click on the "Hand Kari Decorations" button.

Prize:

Are you ready for another assignment? It's rather important, since there wouldn't be much point to a Festival of Neggs without beautifully decorated Neggs and a way to gather them, right? What do you say, then... are you in?

Great, your help will be very much appreciated. Here is what I'll need: baskets for Neopians to gather their Neggs, plus dye to paint the Neggs all sorts of beautiful shades and patterns. Hmm, I wonder where would be a good place to find baskets? Oh, I'm sure you'll figure something out!

Solution: Play a game of Pick Your Own. Collect your berries and leave the farm.

Surly Berry Farmer: Welcome to Meri Acres. How are the berries treatin'ya today? Eh, you win some, you lose some... what's that? You'd like to borrow some punnets? I suppose I wouldn't mind; it's not like the berry-picking business is jumping right about now. Don't cha think they're rather plain, though, the punnets? Perhaps you could dress 'em up a little... I can think of a place where you might have some luck, but you'll be needin' this apron, for it's a rather messy destination. Good luck!

Solution: Go to The Meridell Rubbish Dump.

Prize:

Rubbish Master: After what feels like hours of rooting around in the foulest of conditions, you manage to strike the mother lode, stumbling across a lovely bundle of ribbons. How fortu - wait... eww! It seems the ribbons are all covered with disgusting stains! Think quickly: there must be someone in Neopia with a potion powerful enough to restore the ribbons to perfect condition. Who could that be, though?

Solution: Go to the Gallery of Heroes entry for Kayla.

Kayla: Welcome to my potion shop! How can I - whOA, what is that SMELL?!? Sorry, I'm going to need a moment... whew! What did you need again? A potion to remove those putrid stains? Why, it would be my pleasure. *puts on rubber gloves* I'll just take those... you're also looking for dyes, you say, like the ones on that shelf? Here, hold this bag of ribbons while I fetch them for you... *crash* oh no! I've dropped them. If you could round up the main ingredient I could make you some more, though. Deal?

Solution: Head on over to Maraqua.

Kayla: Good! Here's the thing, though... the secret ingredient, I'm afraid, is Maraquan Slugawoo slime. Lots and LOTS of Maraquan Slugawoo slime. I guess you'd better get going - the sooner I've got my slime, the sooner you'll have your dye.

Solution: Click on the "get going" part and hunt for the hidden Slugawoos on the map! You will need to click them in the correct order to proceed. (Each person has a different clicking order, so you will have to do a bit of trial and error; clicking in the wrong order means you'll have to start over again).

Map of Slugawoo Locations

Slugawoo Hunting: Well done! You've successfully collected enough of the Slugawoos' slime in the correct order. Before you can go back to Kayla, however, you must find a way of getting the Slugawoos' slime mixed in order to create the right colours.

Solution: Go to Edna's Tower.

Prize:

Edna: Who goes there? Come closer so I can get a look at you. Ugh, on second thought, not so close. What do you mean, bothering me like this? Slugawoo slime? Why, I'm fresh out o-oh, I see you've brought your own. *cackle* Let's get started, shall we? Hmm... *splash*, * fizz*, *smoke* That should do it. Anything else I can get you? A fine Eye of Mortog broth, perhaps? Ah well, so long!

Return to Kayla

Solution: Click on the "Return to Kayla" button.

Kayla: Oh hey, you're back! I take it you got the slime, and it's all mixed up? Yeah, sorry, I forgot... I suppose I should've mentioned that. Oh well, let's get started, then... *blends Slugawoo slime into mixtures to make various dyes* alright, looks like you're all set. Best of luck!

Return to Kari

Solution: Click on the "Return to Kari" button.

Oh good, you've returned. Just look at all those baskets and dyes that you rounded up - you did well! You must be exhausted; here, I'll take those...

Give Items to Kari

Solution: Click on the "Give Items to Kari" button.

Prize:

Hello, it's good to see you again. Everything is basically ready to go; we've almost reached the finish line... you know, it brings me comfort to think that, soon, Neopia will be just as excited about Neggs as I am, even if it is temporarily. There's one last detail, however, that must be dealt with before everything is truly in place. I need you to deliver my precious Neggs to the volunteers who'll be placing them in all sorts of clever places. Could you do that for me?

Thank you so much. I suppose you'll need to know who you're delivering the Neggs to. *looks around for a moment* Here, these cards should help you figure out who the volunteers are. I'm afraid they got kind of messy - I might have spilled something on them at some point, I'm not sure. Anyhow, don't worry, everything will be fine...

Solution: Click on the "cards" part to be taken to the Messy Masterpieces page. The first one is... Roberta! Go to The Scrollery.

Roberta: Welcome to the Brightvale Scrollery, where every day's a good day for a scroll! How can I - let me guess, Festival of Neggs? Ahhh... to be honest with you, I've been pretty busy lately and had kinda forgotten that I'd volunteered. You don't think she'd be too upset if - aww, what am I saying? I gave the Negg Faerie my word; I can't back out on her like that! Alright, hand 'em over...

Give Her Basket

Solution: Click on the "Give Her Basket" button.

Prize:

Roberta: At least you saved me the trouble of having to go get the Neggs. That must've been difficult, coming out here to Brightvale, huh? Say, before you go... could you just wait here a sec? *goes to get something and comes back* When I found this, I really liked it, but couldn't figure out what to do with it. It just occurred to me that you might like it. You know, just my way of saying thanks!

Solve Another Clue

Solution: Click on the "Solve Another Clue" button. The next one is... the Neggery Apprentice. Go to The Neopian Neggery.

Neggery Apprentice: Heeey, I bet I know why you're here! I'm guessing it has something to do with that fine basket of Neggs you're carrying, am I right? Yay! This year's Festival of Neggs celebration is going to be wonderful! Here, let me take those for you...

Give Her Basket

Solution: Click on the "Give Her Basket" button.

Prize:

Negg Apprentice: Thanks so much for helping us. Kari's told me that you're not only delivering the Neggs to the volunteers, but that you were also responsible for gathering the materials too, correct? Wow, I'm impressed... oh! The Negg Faerie wanted me to give you this... y'know, just a little something extra to say thanks. You should go, with things getting underway so soon. Good luck!

Solve Another Clue

Solution: Click on the "Solve Another Clue" button. The third one is... the Tiki Tack Man! Go to the Tiki Tack shop.

Tiki Tack Man: Welcome to my shop! Beautiful day, isn't it? Well, if you need anything, I'll just be over here taking it easy... what's that, Neggs? Oh, right... now that you mention it I do recall volunteering to help hide them... so this is the basket right here? They sure look nice; good job of getting them all the way to Mystery Island without breaking a single one...

Give Him Basket

Solution: Click on the "Give Him Basket" button.

Prize:

Tiki Tack Man: Boy, I hope this weather holds up; I'd hate to be out hiding Neggs during bad weather. It is so nice though right now. I'm sure there'll be plenty of time to hide Neggs, no need to rush out anytime soon. For now, I think I'll just kick back an - oh, just a moment. *steps away briefly, then comes back* Here, I wanted to give you something. You know, for your troubles. Best of luck on your travels!

Solve Another Clue

Solution: Click on the "Solve Another Clue" button. Ready for the last one? It's Fairfax the Deckhand! Go to the Food Club.

Fairfax: Aye, welcome swabbie! How may I be of service to ye on this lovely day? Ahh, yes, the Festival of Neggs! Now that ye mention it, methinks I vaguely recall volunteerin... me memory o' that weekend's a li'l foggy, t'be honest. So these are the Neggs that we're to be hidin', eh? *takes basket* Ahh, they're lovely, simply lovely...

Give Him Basket

Solution: Click on the "Give Him Basket" button.

Prize:

Fairfax: I daresay, they look so scrumptious I can hardly contain meself! I reckon' that would bring ruination to the festivities, though - as well as spoil me chances in today's Food Club match-up... speakin' of which, I should be on my way. Before I go, however, I'd like ye to have this, as a way of expressin' what a noble deed it were for ye to be bringin' these Neggs out to Krawk Island. May ye encounter fair winds on yer journey, brave traveller!

Solve Another Clue

Solution: Click on the "Solve Another Clue" button and then the "Return to Kari" button.
