The Easter Eggs-periments is the easter event released in 2015. It features the Easter Bunny, and once again helping out in his factory. This time, imps have overrun the factory, with jadinkos set free inside. It is a puzzle-based quest, with players helping the imps to find their perfect jadinko pets through various means of gathering jadinko eggs, to use with an egg machine.

Rewards include various experience, Jadinko slippers cosmetic boots and Egg on a Fork main hand cosmetic as well as a jadinko pet.

Starting off

The Easter Bunny's overrun by imps.

To start the event, speak to the Easter Bunny, found to the north-west of the Port Sarim lodestone. Enter the hole, and talk to Easter bunny again. He will mention that you should talk to the imp leader, Ringleader Vyvyan, nearby, and figure out what he wants. The imp leader tells you that he really wants a pet jadinko, and he'll leave the Easter Bunny's den if you get him a jadinko egg.

Collecting eggs

To start collecting eggs, head to any of the two rooms to the north of the factory, which are indicated by indicated by arrows on the minimap, and either fight, hunt or steal to get at least one egg. Fighting and hunting is done in the northern nest caves, while hunting is done in the southern hunting caves. All of these activities award a decent helping of experience.

Note that while you only need one egg now, you will need more later on, so it may be an idea to collect as many as you can.

Thieving

The Easter Jadinko nest cave.

Jadinko nests can be found in the northern cave, and may be thieved from to obtain a wide variety of eggs. The higher thieving level you have, the easier it is to steal from one of the nests. Pure blue jadinko eggs are exclusive to this activity.

Killing

A variety of easter jadinkos and imps may be found and fought in the northern cave for a variety of drops, which include jadinko eggs. The higher-levelled Jadinkos are more likely to drop eggs than their lower-levelled counterparts, with the highest levelled being guaranteed to drop at least one egg. All the Jadinkos can also rarely drop Magical eggs, which provide a small boost in all combat stats when eaten. Pure red jadinko eggs can only be obtained from this activity.

• Imp (level 5)
• Timid jadinko (level 14)
• Tenacious jadinko (level 42)
• Stalwart jadinko (level 70)
• Brutish jadinko (level 91)
• Ferocious jadinko (level 112)

Hunting

Players hunting imps in the hunting cave.

In the southern cave, a large number of egg-carrying imps may be found wandering around. To start hunting them, collect up to five modified magic boxes near the entrance. As with normal box trapping, the number of traps you can have active at one time varies with your hunter level, varying between one and five. Lay as many traps as you can within the cave, and loot them for eggs when an imp is caught in one. Pure green jadinko eggs can only be obtained through this method.

Hatching the Egg

Hatching a Jadinko egg.

Once you have at least one egg, return to the ringleader. Now you will play a small minigame to hatch the egg. You need to keep the egg balanced by nudging it with the arrows, and click on the items flowing in to remove them. The text will provide hints on how well you are doing. You will gain a small portion of summoning experience for hatching the egg.

Once the egg is hatched, the ringleader will complain that the pet is not good enough, You will now need to go and talk to the dwarven engineer (located south east in the area) to learn how to create better eggs.

Fixing the machine

The egg combining machine.

The engineer will request a left-handed lever, a sprocket and grade 2 fish oil. Search the machines and boxes around the area for the left handed lever and the sprocket. The sprocket may be found in the chocolate bars, and the left-handed lever may be found in the broken machine near the nest entrances.

For the grade 2 fish oil, head to Gerrant's Fishy Business in Port Sarim (found just east of the entrance to the factory) and request it from the owner. Say that you need it to save Easter, and he will mention a number of unreasonable trades for the item, but will agree to give it to you on credit, knowing that you will pay up with your well known reputation. Right?

Once you have the items, return to the engineer. The engineer will lead you into the small room nearby. Use the parts on the machine to fix it. The engineer will now request more eggs, specifically two of the same type of any egg. If you don't have enough, go and collect some more using the methods outlined above. You will need lots of eggs for the next section, so try and collect as many as you possibly can.

Calibrating the machine

The interface that pops up when using the egg combining machine.

When ready, return to the machine and use the eggs on it. Once enough eggs are used, the machine needs to be calibrated. The engineer will request for specific types of attributes from the resulting egg, and you need to use eggs to try and get these results. To find out what every egg does, click on the notepad icon on the bottom right, and you wil then be able to see their attributes. You can apply as many eggs as you like to get the final requested result. Once done, repeat this again, but slightly harder, with a new requirement of keeping an attribute in the middle.

Once the machine is fully calibrated, return to the ringleader, who will then perform a new, more complex request. You don't have to remember this, it will be automatically shown in the machine interface. You may need to gather more eggs to complete this request.

Saviour of Easter

Vyvyan showing off his new Jadinko pet.

Once you have completed the request, take the egg and give it to the ringleader and it will hatch into Julian, which he will proceed to show off to his fellow imps. He will then tell the imps to leave the factory, although Vyvyan himself will remain.

Go and talk to the Easter Bunny, and he will thank and reward you for saving Easter. Congratulations, Quest complete!

Rewards

• Huge easter reward lamp
• Egg Juggler emote
• Jadinko (pet)
• Jadinko slippers cosmetic override
• Egg on a fork cosmetic override
• Easter Cooking skilling animation

Post-event

After the event, you gain the ability to perform two more egg requests for the ringleader - simply visit the machine. Each completed request earns you a medium easter reward lamp. You can always change the request by talking to the ringleader if you find it too difficult, there does not appear to be any penalty for this.

If you have any leftover eggs, you can sell them to the ringleader for 20 coins each. You may also hatch them for a small portion of summoning experience.

Once you're done doing two special types of eggs the ring leader will teleport himself back to the entrance point; you can meet him there and continue hatching jadinko eggs for summoning XP.

Music unlocked

• Jadinko Jig

Trivia

• One of the imps says "All your jadinkos are belong to us" is a reference to the quote "All your base are belong to us", an infamous translation error from Zero Wing.
• The names of the imps during this quest are references to characters from a British sitcom from the 80's called "The Young Ones".
• There is a small chance that a player encounters a spider when searching the rock in the southwest corner of the large machine area. Once a player finds it, it will add to the "Spiders Found" on the Stats board. It also shows the following dialogue between the player and the spider:
  • Spider: "What do you want?"
  • Player: "A spider! What are you doing here?"
  • Spider: "Waiting for Halloween, of course. What else would I be doing at Easter?"
• There is also a possibility you find a spider climbing up the water spout. A reference to the nursery rhyme.
