When Eggs Fly

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* Hatching–tide, that most eggcentric of festivals, has returned to Eorzea. This year Jihli Aliapoh has seen a vision of a hovering egg, from which a chocobo emerges to startle people before going on to lay a magnificent, dazzling gemstone. If you would help Jihli recreate her vision, make your way to Hyrstmill in the North Shroud, where her friend and helper Nonotta awaits with detailed instructions.
※Please note that you will be unable to complete this quest after the seasonal event has ended. For details, please check the Lodestone.
* Nonotta tasks you with startling folk while riding a hovering egg of dubious origin, which she inadvertently reveals is an invention she calls the eggshilaration system. Realizing her error, she implores you to keep this fact to yourself lest you shatter Jihli's dreams.
==Objectives==
* Speak with Nonotta at Hyrstmill.

Jihli Aliapoh 	Greetings, friend! Drawn to the beautiful adornments of Hatching–tide, I take it?
 	
Jihli Aliapoh 	Oh, it's you, [Player Name]! What a delight to see you again!
Jihli Aliapoh 	Since we found our “shining, golden treasure,” I've been visiting the little fellow as often as I'm able. He is fast growing into a fine young bird, and I smile to imagine what this year's event might have in store for us.
 	
Jihli Aliapoh 	I'm Jihli Aliapoh, and you are...[Player Name]? 'Tis a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I pray you will join in the revelry with us!
Jihli Aliapoh 	Lest you wonder, the festival was born of a prophetic dream I had a long time ago. It has since grown to become the grand celebration you see now, and I smile to imagine what this year's event might have in store for us.
 	
Jihli Aliapoh 	You see, I've been blessed with a new vision: an egg, hovering in the air, from which a chocobo emerges to startle folk before going on to lay a magnificent, dazzling gemstone. Surreal, I know.
Jihli Aliapoh 	Yet, surreal as it was, if we can recreate the vision, something magical is bound to happen. For this we needed a hovering egg...which proved rather rarer than one might think.
Jihli Aliapoh 	But sure enough, my good friend and helper Nonotta managed to find precisely such an egg as appeared in my dream. Without a doubt a gift from the Archons of old!
Jihli Aliapoh 	With the egg, we shall host a rousing Hatching–tide to be remembered. In so doing, the dazzling gemstone will surely reveal itself to us.
Jihli Aliapoh 	If you would lend a hand in making my vision reality, please seek out Nonotta in Hyrstmill. She has care of the floating egg and will furnish you with further instructions. Off you go, now, and eggspeed!
 	
Nonotta 	Ah, back to help us celebrate another Hatching–tide? You have our thanks!
 	
Nonotta 	Greetings, adventurer. I take it you wish to help us celebrate Hatching–tide? You have our thanks!
 	
Nonotta 	This year, in order to recreate Jihli's vision, we are dividing participants into two groups: the startlers and the startled. As you seem to be an accomplished rider, I assign you to the former.
Nonotta 	Your task is simple: ride atop a hovering egg and give folk a jolly good startling. Lest you worry, it's as easy as riding a chocobo.
Nonotta 	You seem unsettled. Does something about the egg give you pause?
 	
Nonotta 	Heh, we didn't actually find the egg so much as built it ourselves. We couldn't bear to see Jihli disappointed, you see.
 	
Nonotta 	Well, of course it's safe! We built it ourselves, I'll have you know!
 	
Nonotta 	Recall you the giant, floating eggs we used before? Well, it operates the same way─with wisdom and parts borrowed from the ancients. Add some refinements and external touches, and voila! Ridable egg! The eggshilaration system, I call it, and it's a marvel of engineering, if I do say so my─
 	
Nonotta 	Hovering eggs simply don't...well, exist. We had to make it by borrowing the wisdom and parts of ancients. Add some external touches, though, and voila! Ridable egg! The eggshilaration system, I call it, and it's a marvel of engineering, if I do say so my─
 	
Nonotta 	<gasp> Did I just─?
Nonotta 	I–I beg you, you mustn't breathe a word of this to Jihli! Promise me you'll keep it to yourself, cross your heart and hope to die!
 	
Jihli Aliapoh 	Nonotta has care of the hovering egg. Please seek her out in Hyrstmill to receive further instructions. Off you go, now, and eggspeed!
