Description

Skylord Omnuron wants us to find Aviana's Egg, and I can almost guarantee you it's cloaked by one of Sethria's shadow devices.

Search around the camp for shadow cloak generators and shut those things down until you find the egg.

Once you've unveiled it, I'll call out to the other druids. Defend that egg until we can carry it off to safety.

Go get that egg, <name>!

I was having significant difficulty doing this quest. I rescued 6+ eggs, but would not get credit for the quest.

I'm a mage, so naturally after activating it, I'd step away 20 yards and wait for the 1-2 adds to spawn and attack the egg. I'd kill/kite them, and then the friendly NPCs would come and fly the egg to safety. I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong and why I wasn't getting credit.

Instead of waiting far away for the mobs to spawn and attack the egg, I tried standing right next to the egg. I defending the egg, and the NPCs flew the egg to safety. All this time I was right next to the egg -- and I finally got credit!

Apparently if you're even 10+ yards away from the egg, you will not get credit. So stay close!

Did anybody else think of Monty Python and the Holy Grail when the birds flew off with that huge egg? Lol!

"It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut."
