TOPIC | 2028 Leap Year Mass Hatch [43/1000]
Introduction | Progress | Hatching
Introduction
What's This?
I enjoy February 29th a lot—It happens only once every 4 years! How cool is that?—so I'd like to do a mass hatch! I just want to give a bunch of dragons this ephemeral hatch date.

I'm prepping for this very, very early because I want to see how many eggs I can amass by February 29th, 2028; my ideal goal is 1000 (over one egg per day!) but we'll see if I can actually get there or not.

This thread is mostly just to keep track of things for myself. Feel free to post here if you want, though!

How's This?
I'll probably rely mostly on my doodle thread/G&G for funds (the AH confuses me), and I'll be farming NotN for eggs to the best of my ability. As of writing this post, I'm not yet a high enough level in Baldwin to brew my own Bogsneak eggs, so I'll be brewing composite ingredients and transmuting in the meantime.

When the day finally comes, I'll hatch the eggs in batches of 10/20/30, depending on how many there are. I'll also create a thread in Dragons for Sale to keep track of the hatches; I might look into pinging G1 hoarders too?

I probably won't have enough lair space for all the hatches, so I'll probably request someone—maybe even multiple someones?—to hold a few.

How Can I Help?
Donations aren't expected, but they're always appreciated! Even the slightest bit helps.

Donations
  • Perhaps most obviously, you can donate eggs themselves. All manner of eggs count!
  • You can also donate Baldwin materials, since I'm always running low on them. See this spreadsheet for a list of required materials.
  • Once hatching begins, you can help by lending out lair space! If you'd like to do this, please provide proof that you have done similar lair-lending services before.

Transactions
  • I won't be offended if you take this route instead! However, I also won't mark you as a donator.
  • You can use eggs as payment in my doodle shop.
  • If you're more into the UMA scene, I've got a shop for that too! You won't be able to pay in eggs, though—only gems (unless specified otherwise).

Pinglist
Subscribers will be pinged when the hatching begins, and then once every round as I make my way through the eggs.

Won an Unhatched Nocturne Egg from Five Minute Auctions! It was my first time doing an auction, actually, and was much more fun than I expected. Also gained an Unhatched Bogsneak Egg as commission payment, with more to come.

I keep forgetting to do my daily G&G, though, which is hurting my funds... ouch. I'll try to buy at least one egg per week? (Totals to at least 116 eggs by the end date if I don't miss any weeks.)

I'd like to do progress checks semi-regularly, but sometimes I forget (see above—there was a bit of a gap between the two eggs, but I compiled them into one post because the time's already passed). But even if I forget to record where they came from, I'll still add the eggs to the tally.

[EDIT: Impulse-bought two more Unhatched Nocturne Egg off the AH... Currently sitting at less than 14kt (excluding vault)... Someone save me from my hubris.]

I hope it's ok to post now but this will be so much fun omg, I hope you manage to hit your egg goal! Added myself to the pinglist

Also, if you would like to borrow a cauldron for brewing eggs when you have the mats, I will happily lend mine free of charge to help you achieve your goal

Also also, I highly recommend holding off on buying any more eggs until NoTN cause the prices drop significantly when it starts

Ahh, forgot to subscribe to this thread—!

Looking into NotN egg prices: According to last year's data, eggs averaged around ~190g LAH during NotN (presumably around ~195kt). If I earn 475kt every week (maxing out G&G minus Roundsey tickets) every week until NotN begins (6 weeks), that's at least 14 eggs during NotN alone.

On a similar but unrelated note: I would prefer not to dip into my gem savings unless I'm at ≤400 eggs by NotN 2027, in which case I might splurge on Noc eggs.

[Recording this here for future use, and also because I like crunching numbers.]

@DreamSlayer Thank you for the well-wishes and advice, and good luck with your own XXX-hatching journey! Added myself to your pinglist as well!

I'd love to borrow your cauldron when the time comes; right now, I'm trying to reach Level 16 with my own Baldwin so I can brew Imbued Sulfurs. If you want, I can PM you once I'm ready?

Yeah of course!

(I can even also brew the sulfurs for you too if needed)

Edit to add: I also highly recommend selling all your strange chests during NoTN. Stacks of 10 usually average 50g-70g and by bonding with all your familiars every day, you earn quite a few

I was able to buy 121 eggs that way in a single year (But it's totally possible to do more than that if you also have time to coli lolol)

@DreamSlayer In that case, is it OK with you if I send a CR with the items/treasure for Imbued Sulfur? I'll also add you to the donations list for cauldron services (unless you don't want me to, of course). And thanks for the tip on Strange Chests!

I'll probably end up opening mine, personally, unless LAH is ≥20g per chest (referencing BlurryReality's NotN guide and this thread regarding whether to open or sell Strange Chests)! What can I say; I'm a born gambler. ^^
