Although delayed, the site event is now live, taking place on Virtupets. Mind you, in order to start the event, you will have to go through the dialogue between Kari and Mira. Negg locations will be spoilered, if you want to search for the location yourself Day 1 clue and location: Hooray! The festival has started in just the right neighbourhood! If you want to find the first Neggs, perhaps try some local food!

They also clarified in the FAQ that the first day will be the usual one and a half days, so Day 2 won't start until 4/22! I remember a recent event not doing the extra half day, so I'm glad we could get that clarification ahead of time in case anyone was worried. They also confirmed that there's a bonus prize for those that solve each day's riddle the same day they're released, if you're hoping to win that!

Day 2 clue and location The next place is a lot like space, as it may be hard to catch your breath! But if you find your way in the depth, you can bet, the stash will be with a real cute Petpet!

So.... has anyone else noticed that on the event page where it lists the clues, that the negg shown actually seems to correspond to the negg you chose for that day? So now you can actually use the clue page as a log for which neggs you've already chosen. I've been wanting this feature for years. I MIGHT have even written to the editorial about it last year. But I also may have just thought it. Ha! Anyway, I'm just glad to see they finally implemented this.

Day 3 comes with new dialogue. Anyways, the clue and location Day 3 clue You've been to the highest highs and the lowest lows. Now for the next place you must go? Well, it could be considered the middle. Just remember to hydrate while you think about this riddle.

Day 4 The next place to go is where nature would never be taken for granted, but with so many plants around, we better hope the Neggs aren't planted!

Interested to see where this "Space Negg" story goes, though does feel strange they're having the Space Faerie involved in yet another Festival of Neggs so soon (yeah, last year was the Haunted Woods mystery, but the year before that was when we learned Topsi was a robot made by Sloth to exterminate Mira). Though if we're going to have her, I demand that we see Mira dressed as Kari and have a charm made of it, thus completing the cycle.
Also nice to see Landelbrot. He doesn't need to dress up.
So, quickly looking over the Negg Prizes this year:
* The Neggs themselves look good this year. Solar Flare and Plasma look the best, Neopia is pretty funny, Spaceship reminds me Pikmin 4 is coming out this July, and Polar Lights I get what they were going for (which would have been pretty and up there with Solar Flare and Plasma) but don't feel they pulled it off.
* Neopia Negg has the stamp this year, but otherwise its two other prizes are a toy and grooming item.
* If you don't have the Neopia Negg to pick than Polar Lights should be your next, having a pretty aurora foreground and a book. Third prize is a candle which is a gift cause there are no more Neohomes.
* Plasma Negg has the Petpet (Glowing Baby Space Fungus, which already feels like an obvious combination surprised it hadn't been already done) and a nice wearable if you're looking to have your Neopet be a lightning wielder. And even if you get the Slushie its pretty to look at (though wish they made the animation loop smoother).
* Guess Spaceship would be fourth on my list, only has a rather neat "mission control" desk foreground being worthwhile (unless you like freeze-dried food jokes and a plushie of Kari's questionable transport to the space station).
* And finally the Solar Flare Negg. All a bust. Fire Backpack for Neoschools which don't exist. Pyrophone for another would-be Neohome item. And finally, and most disappointing of all: the weapon! Yes, the weapon. If you recall previous years we've had weapons like the Water Whip (an alright water attacker with an interesting half fire reflect (as air)) and Void Blade (just an overall powerful weapon that today still goes for quite a bit of NP). So what did we get this year? Solar Flare Gun, which as or typing is once per battle and only does 13 icons. What? What is this? Even if it was multiuse, I guess it would be alright as Fire is hard to block but still a little underwhelming (especially not a month ago we got a bomb as powerful as the Ghostkerbomb!). It's description though makes it sound like it would be a once per battle item, so maybe they forgot to give it a worthwhile effect. Keeping things simple, I would make it a copy of Randomly Firing Freeze Ray: Semi-fragile, 50% of the time it launches a fireball doing damage but doesn't break, 50% of the time it launches a flash of light which "freezes" your opponent but has it break. Or, if freezing is too strong, just have it block all damage for that turn. Niche, but certainly better than what we have now.

Day 5 location If I had a coin for every Negg I hid here previously, I would have zero. Which is weird because I'm a Negg hiding hero!
