Description

Hobart thinks he's going to feed us on those tiny clucker eggs? Bah! We're going to get some real eggs!

I've already set up some traps on the Raptor Rise up the path to the east. Take this bunch of wild clucker eggs and lay them in the traps. The spiny raptors will go right after the clucker eggs, and then you'll get to trade up to their larger eggs.

Genius!

This is the first goblin quest that doesn't make a lot of sense to me, story-wise. You place the clucker egg in the trap; a raptor runs up to check out the egg for some reason, gets caught in the trap and dies...leaving behind a raptor egg. What exactly is going on here? Or do I want to know?

And a tip for those needing help with the quest: if you aggro a raptor on the way to a trap, don't bother fighting it. Just run to the trap and place the egg - the raptor will stop attacking you and go to the trap.

This quest makes no sense. Not because we trade small eggs for bigger eggs, no, but that they trade eggs for EGGS Instead of just taking the raptors for food! Like, they would have -way- more food than stupid eggs if they ate the raptors..

    Ridiculous! The greatest goblin mind of all time reduced to food detail?

No, my friend, not I!
