Hatching-tide (2014)

Adventurers Scramble for Eggs was the 2014 edition of the seasonal event Hatching-tide in Final Fantasy XIV.
The event was started by accepting any "Egg-hunting We Will Go" sidequest by talking to a Dreamer in any of the city-states. Dreamers were located in: Jihli Aliapoh in Gridania, Orselfaux in Ul'dah, and Oscarlet in Limsa Lominsa.
==History==
Jihli Aliapoh encouraged Warrior of Light to join in the celebration and asked them to pay a visit to Maisenta Hawke of the Black Rabbit Traders. Jihli Aliapoh said about the dream that inspired this year's egg designs, but the delivery of the egg recreation was delayed. In speaking with Maisenta, she said that a band of spriggans had made off with the archon eggs, and that she had dispatched men to retrieve two of the eggs. At Jihli's request, the Warrior of Light helped Augustiniel get the eggs safely to the Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre.
Jihli Aliapoh had another vision, revealing the location of two more Archon eggs along the beaches of the Costa del Sol. She sent her Dreamers to recover the eggs and asked the Warrior of Light to look for Oscarlet in Limsa Lominsa to ensure that they were recovered without incident. Arriving in Limsa Lominsa, the Warrior of Light has discovered that the two eggs were transported unharmed, but their porters were attacked by a gang of spriggans in the process. In addition, they made their way through the city gates and are now searching the decks for the Archon eggs. Oscarlet reported that Augustiniel was one of the two in charge of the egg delivery and has since made his way to the Coral Tower in hopes of eluding the rogue spriggans who now roam the decks of Limsa Lominsa. The Warrior of Light found Augustiniel still tired from his encounter with the spriggans. Oscarlet thanked the Warrior of Light for the skillful delivery of the eggs. The issue of the invading spriggans remains, but he is pleased to hear that the eggs will be delivered by the time of hatching.
Jihli Aliapoh has again caught a vision of what she claims to be the last set of stolen Archon eggs in southern Thanalan. She has again sent her Dreamers to retrieve them, and asks for the help of the Warrior of Light. On the location, Orselfaux said that Augustiniel has once again volunteered to help in the delivery of the eggs in spite of his recent exertions. With a group of spriggans now roaming the halls of Ul'dah, Orselfaux is concerned that Augustiniel is not fit to watch the eggs, and would ask that Warrior of Light seek him out to ensure they are secure. The Warrior of Light found Augustiniel too weak to continue and in desperate need of help. Having fainted after arriving at the Gate of Thal, his partner has fled for help, leaving him to take care of the two eggs alone. Unable to continue with the delivery, he begs the Warrior of Light to take them to the Gold Court, where they can be protected until the spriggans are driven out of Ul'dah. Once delivered, Orselfaux thanks the Warrior of Light.
With all the eggs gathered in Gridania, another gang of spriggans took the opportunity to steal them all at once. Luckily, however, Augustiniel and his fellow Dreamers crossed paths with them and managed to recover two of the untouched variety. In addition, Maisenta convinced the Wood Wailers to seal off the town, so that no spriggan can escape. The Wood Wailers have confirmed the location of the eggs and inform Augustiniel, who asks the Warrior of Light for help.
After retrieving the Archon eggs and bringing them to the Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre, Jihli Aliapoh instructs his fellow Dreamers to prepare for the final rehearsal. Once they have begun to take their seats, Augustiniel asks the Warrior of Light for one last favor to help prepare for the ceremony. After you place the last egg in its basket, Jihli Aliapoh is suddenly surprised by the scene before her. As Warrior of Light stand surrounded by ring of Archon egg, she realizes that her vision has finally come true. It seems that the hero she foresaw has appeared not from within the casing of the eggs, but from within the ring itself. Although the Twelve Archons did not return to Eorzea, the celebration united people in the spirit of what they represented. To that end, Jihli considered this year's Hatching-tide a success.
