Everyone knows about the recent changes made to two-handed weapon damage formulas by now. I was just curious on everyone's reaction on the whole
thing. I didn't really get much experience on the whole two-handed weapon part of it but I definitely noticed a difference with my hand-to-hand
damage when I was camping with my monk. I was decked out with some random agility/evasion gear and none of my artifact gear. I was doing 104 normal
damage and 156 critical damage. After the update where they addressed the glitch in the formula that made dark knights, samurai, etc . . . gods, my
damage was varied again like it should be.
Me and Xathro need to get them done. Its about time we progressed through the COP storyline! So far, we've said that a good time to meet up at is 8pm
GMT on Sunday. We've got the loverly Mikaze to come as WHM so far but any other help will be most ace!
Please get in touch.
Failing that add me on msn my email is: pennythemale@hotmail.com

Egg Hunt Egg-stravagana!
------------------------------------------------------------
The Egg Hunt Egg Hunt Egg-stravagana is a yearly event where adventurers collect
special items known as "initial eggs" and try to form various combinations of
letters.
Every port of Vana'diel is abuzz with rumors of the new prizes being offered
during this year's event. One of these prizes is the curious "egg helm." Crafted
by the finest goldsmiths, these helmets were commissioned by renowned gourmand
Royaulais Chalaimbille II, Twelfth King of San d'Oria. They were created for the
sole purpose of properly equipping his "Soft-boiled Knights" as they quested for
the most delectable eggs in the kingdom.
The second prize is rumored to be the exquisite "jeweled egg," a scintillating
masterpiece crafted with the most advanced refraction techniques the Grand Duchy
of Jeuno has to offer.
Recreate the egg hunts of the past with your own band of soft-boiled knights and
see how many letter combinations you can make!
Before you know it, you too could be standing proud--or at least standing--with
your very own egg helm!
How to Play
1. Collect Initial Eggs!
During the Egg Hunt, adventurers can receive a random initial egg from the
festival moogles once every Vana'diel day. If you are in a party when speaking
with a moogle, it is possible to choose an initial egg inscribed with the first
letter of a party member's name. And if that party member happens to be wearing
an egg helm...
*Newly created characters must wait at least one Vana'diel day before they can
receive an initial egg.
And for those who just can't get enough...
Try trading any type of "egg" to a moogle. Once every Vana'diel day, you might
find that the moogles will gift you with an initial egg in exchange for a
"normal" egg.
2. Make a "First 3" Combination!
First of all, try collecting the initial eggs required to make a "First 3"
combination. Once you have the eggs you need, trade them to a moogle to receive
your prize!
First 3: Collect the first three letters of your character's name
For egg-sample, a character with the name of "Moogle" would need to collect one
[M], and two [O] initial eggs.
3. Take it to the Next Level!
Once you've made a First 3, why not try something more difficult, like an
"Initial Straight 8", or a "7 of a Kind"?
And for those of you who are looking for a real challenge, try discovering
different, more egg-citing combinations. Maybe you'll find the right combination
to take home the coveted "jeweled egg"!
*Don't forget that you'll have to trade in a "First 3" before you can trade in
any other combos. Think of it as a sort of preliminary test!
Initial Straight 8: The first letter of your character's name, followed by the
next seven letters in the alphabet
For egg-sample, a character with the name of "Moogle" would need an [M], as well
as an [N], [O], [P], [Q], [R], [S], and [T].
7 of a Kind: Seven initial eggs with the same letter
For egg-sample, you could choose to collect seven [A] initial eggs.
Hints
The moogles are usually egg-stremely reluctant to give out any of their
classified information, but maybe if you are persistent enough, one will let you
in on a secret or two! Make it a point to talk to them as often as possible!
