Elf Egg Chests

## Summary

**Elf Egg Chests** can be harvested or spawned from many objects found throughout Elfland. They can be found under Wicked Thorns in the Homeland, by harvesting objects in the Homeland and in Stages. They can be offered as a reward for winning certain Stages. Elf Egg Chests in the Homeland need to be unlocked with Golden Leaves while within Stages they can be opened for free.

Many of the following chests can be harvested from Elf Trees and from the Hills chains which produce chests for many different Elf Breeds.

Elf Chests, Quest Stars and the Lord of Fear wonder are also very good sources for many of these chests although the chests received are very random. Higher levels of Elf Chests and Quest Stars will usually give rarer elf egg chests. Time Elf Eggs are regularly found in chests given by the Quest Stars chain.

There are four styles of Elf Egg Chests: Blue, Green, Pumpkin and Wood. The items contained inside the elf egg chests are based on the style and the cost of the individual chests. It is difficult to determine what the contents of each chest is at a glance as each style of chest looks the same regardless of what it contains inside of it.

One other important note is that sometimes a Chest Style and unlock cost merge chain can contain different elf breeds within them. this is the case with the following elf egg chests.

* The Blue style elf egg chest merge chain beginning with 9 golden leaves to unlock can contain Water Elves or Wind Elves if harvested from the Elf Trees or Hills chains.
* The Green style elf egg chest merge chain beginning with 11 golden leaves to unlock can contain Chaos Elves, Fire Elves, Light Elves, Poison Elves or Rock Elves if harvested from the Elf Trees or Hills chains.

Each style of Elf Egg Chest has a four level merge chain.

1. Elf Egg Chest (Small)
2. Elf Egg Chest (Medium)
3. Elf Egg Chest (Large)
4. Elf Egg Chest (Very Large)

There are two other types of Elf Egg Chests which can be obtained, they are non-mergeable.

1. Nest of Mystery Elf Egg Chest (Rare). Costs 135 Golden Leaves to unlock.
	1. Can be found on dark land in the Homeland.
	2. As a rare drop when 3 or 5-merging Quest Star (Giant) - level 5.
	3. Randomly from the Elf Queen's Shop.
2. Nest of Mystery Elf Egg Chest (Legendary). Costs 750 Golden Leaves to unlock.
	1. A limited quantity can be found in the Homeland under Wicked Thorns.
	2. Evernight Elf Grass - level 8 will give one on it's initial tap upon creation.
	3. Very rarely by merging Giant Golden Fruit - level 3.

## Merging Elf Chests

### Rarity

The rarity of Elf Egg Chests varies based on their contents, with Elf Egg Chests which contain rarer Elf Eggs and Items being more expensive to unlock.

Contents, the Cost to Unlock and the Rarity of an Elf Egg Chest which was created through merging other chests will be based on the Elf Egg Chest which was used to initiate the merge (the one which was dragged onto the other chests used in the merge).

## Chest Visuals

Elf Egg Chests have one of 4 visuals. Only locked chests with the same appearance and unlock cost can be merged together although their contents may vary.

## Contents of Elf Egg Chests (Unlock Cost is with Golden Leaves)

Elf Egg Chest contents are determined by their Style type, the unlock costs of the individual elf egg chests and which object they were harvested from.

Elf Egg Chests (Small) contain 1 Elf Egg

Elf Egg Chests (Medium) contain 4 Elf Eggs

Elf Egg Chests (Large) contain 1 Nest of Elf Eggs

Elf Egg Chests (Very Large) contain 3 Nests of Elf Eggs

## Value or No Value?

### Elf Egg Chest Contents

Elf Eggs are the primary reason for opening chests. Merging chests to create the next level of chest in the chain will give chests which contain a higher quantity of Elf Eggs.

* Elf Egg Chests (Small) contain 1 Elf Egg.
* Elf Egg Chests (Medium) contain 4 Elf Eggs.
* Elf Egg Chests (Large) contain 1 Nest of Elf Eggs with 3 - 7 eggs inside it.
* Elf Egg Chests (Very Large) contain 3 Nests of Elf Eggs with a combined total of 9 to 21 eggs.

There are seven levels of unlock costs (in Golden Leaves) for each of the four styles of Elf Egg Chest.

## Conclusion

* Small and Medium Elf Egg Chests provide the best value for the cost.
* Overall, Elf Egg Chests (Medium) offer the best value of all the chests consistently as there is no fluctuation in the number of Elf Eggs contained within them (4).
* If the Nests in the Elf Chests (Very Large) spawned the maximum number every time then it would have the best value but unfortunately you can receive 9 to 21 eggs in total and it is extremely unlikely to get 21 eggs every time.
* Playing Stages which offer certain Elf Breeds for free will allow you to increase your Elves with just a little effort.
* The Egg Shop in the Buy Menu offers many Elf Eggs for Magic Gems or Stone which may be less expensive than some of the Elf Egg Chests.
* The Your Elves (The Elf Book) offers Tier 1 Elf Eggs and Nests as well as Tier 2 Nobility Elf Eggs and Nests for Golden Leaves once they are each unlocked.
* With the 13August21 update many different reward items from completing event quests upon arriving in the Homeland allow players to watch ad videos which give random rewards once viewed. These often include different Elf Eggs and Petrified Elf Eggs.

## Notes

* Elf Egg Chests (Small) contain 1 Elf Egg.
* Elf Egg Chests (Medium) contain 4 Elf Eggs.
* Elf Egg Chests (Large) contain 1 Nest of Elf Eggs containing 3- 7 eggs.
* Elf Egg Chests (Very Large) contain 3 Nests of Elf Eggs containing 3 - 7 eggs each for 9 - 21 eggs total.

* Elf Egg Chests of the same type and cost to unlock can be merged together, even if they are from different origins. When this happens the contents of the newly created chests will contain objects that are based on the objects found inside the Elf Egg Chest which initiated the merge.
* Elf Egg Chests found inside Stages are free to open. Opening them while in the Stage can help the player to complete the Stage.
