Easter 2012: Chocatrice vs Evil Chicken - Shay - 2012-04-03
Few rivalries are as fierce as that of the Evil Chicken and the Chocatrice, who are going head-to-crest in an Easter egg hunt most fowl. The Easter Bunny is missing – presumed dead – and the Easter eggs he left lying across RuneScape are the target of the Evil Chicken and Chocotrice’s wicked wager: to find out who can turn the greatest number of adorable little chicks into diabolically delicious snacks!
Report in to the Evil Chicken or the Chocatrice in Varrock square to find out when the next Easter egg hunt is starting. Once you’ve pledged your allegiance to your chosen villain, you’ll be gifted with a patented Eggsterminator®, which will turn the innocent chicks within the eggs into fried chicken drumsticks or chocotreats, depending on whether you have scotch eggs (for the Evil Chicken) or marshmallows (for the Chocotrice) selected in the Combat Styles tab.
Hunts are held on every odd hour (so, 9am BST, 11am BST, 1pm BST etc.) There are 5 eggs to find per hunt, and you have you have a little under 2 hours to find them. You may be able to convince the Evil Chicken or the Chocatrice to set you off in the right direction, but after that it’s down to you and your fellow players to find the rest. Breaking the eggs doesn’t stop other players from finding them, so it might be wise to work with some partners in crime. Join the EvilEggFind or ChocEggFind chat channels to find suitably unscrupulous associates.
If you seek out, hatch and destroy 3 chicks, and then hand the relevant treats to the bad-guy you’re backing, you’ll earn the right to claim an egg or chocolate-themed mask, to show the world your shame (or lack thereof). You’ll need 3 drumsticks for the egg on face mask, or 3 chocotreats for the chocolate egg on face mask.
Get all 5 eggs in a single hunt, and you’ll earn a lamp giving you XP in the skill of your choice. You’ll need to be a member to do this, as at least two of the eggs will always be in members-only areas.
Finally, RuneScape members among you finding all 5 eggs in a total of 3 hunts can claim a permanent version of the Eggsterminator. It’ll be no yolk doing this, but persevere and you’ll wreak eggy ruin across RuneScape for ever more.
Need more help? Join in with the Community team’s clue nights on the 5th, 7th, 9th and 11th of April. Watch our Twitter feed, or head over to the dedicated thread at 10pm (BST) on those days.
Once you’ve claimed your eggy spoils, you may also wish to take part in the finale roleplaying event: The Eggagement. Look here for more information.

I used to do every Holiday event..but I didn't do the last one, and I think I am tired of them. xD

Completed mine, didn't really bother me. It was pretty easy imo, here's a link for the location of the eggs to get them quickly. (Most of them can simply be home teleported to). I wouldn't say it was their best holiday event, but meh I like the holiday items anyway.

Did it just for the experience lamp, figured it would only be 10x level like a genie lamp and it was but it only took me 3 minutes so whatever :p

Looking forward to doing this, these events are always nice and fun to do for a day.

I wish they would do away with these holiday updates and focus their efforts on content that doesn't disappear forever after two weeks.

I admit, to me they are not the most interesting updates, but that does not mean they should not have them at all. Many players enjoy them, especially new players. I remember I used to love holiday events as a noob, they were a big social, fun to do, and I loved the dumb rewards. xD
You can say the same thing about quests, which are very similar. You do it and then that content is no longer of use to you. That doesn't mean they shouldn't do it, quests are a big part of Runescape. As our special events, which you should know since you have played for so long. I know you hate to see Jagex change..so here they are sticking to their roots. I doubt they spent months developing this too, so you will not be that deprived of your special "improving runescape" updates. Though since you said you care deeply about the well being of the game, these community type focused events help a lot.
Unless that was one of your strange sarcastic comments I don't get, then I am sorry.

I'm not being sarcastic, nor is this a newly formed opinion. I remember saying something along the same lines about the Christmas event.
Quote:They never seem to come up with anything exciting when they do these. Essentially it's a quest where the developers are hurting for creativity because they have to stick to the same theme every year, and then it's gone forever after 2 weeks. I wish they would stop releasing these events and work on some actual game content instead.
I'm sure it's only a coincidence that I'm getting more flak for expressing the same opinion this time around.

A person who does no quests at all is a player that fails and can't do much of anything. Holiday events on the other just give you an item that you can use as bragging rights to say how long you have been playing the game for.(2012-04-03 23:35:49)Dave Wrote: I wish they would do away with these holiday updates and focus their efforts on content that doesn't disappear forever after two weeks.Aren't you quite the downer?
