The eggs are located atop the hill in the Singing Marshes.


  • [object=209953] is tiny and purple, located near rocks.

  • [object=209954] is larger and white, located near overgrowth or brush.

  • [object=209955] is located in the small cave in the mountain.

As with any egg collecting quest, if there is a bird around when you collect its eggs, it will attack you.

I cannot, in good conscious, do this quest.
Those birds aren't even hostile up till you steal their eggs.
You know why?
you just stole their babies.
Notice how they sat in pair too- you just stole a couple's baby in front of them.
You can't unsee this post.

Description

I can sense your anxiety, but you are not ready yet. Your training must continue before you perform the final test. As for your task... I need you to fetch me some eggs. Yes, eggs. The marshland atop the hills to the east is home to a number of birds, all of which are generally peaceful in nature. You should have no trouble gathering enough eggs to last me several weeks.
