| '''The Festival of Neggs''' is an annual, springtime event in which [[Kari]] the Negg Faerie displays the [[Negg|Neggs]] she worked hard all year to cultivate. During the Festival, Kari comes down from the cold of [[Terror Mountain]] to celebrate with the rest of Neopia. Users can help her to prepare by completing a series of quests. | | The '''Festival of Neggs''' is a springtime [[event]] where [[Kari]] the Negg Faerie displays the [[Negg|Neggs]] she worked hard all year to cultivate. It began in 2010, and has been held every year since then. |

| | During the Festival, Kari leaves her [[Neggery]] to hide Neggs in different [[Neopia]]n lands and gives players riddles to solve to find them. There is also a different [[Neocash]] activity available each year. The Festival hub is set up on a green outside of [[Neopia Central]]. |
| The Festival of Neggs ran between March 15 and April 11. Kari gave out eight quests. Additional bonuses were offered to users, such as a free daily item for visiting the Festival of Neggs homepage, and the ability to send five scores a day for [[Wingoball]], [[Ultimate Bullseye II]], [[Turmac Roll]], and [[Meerca Chase]].

|
| In the [[NC Mall]] event [[Neggstravaganza]], 20 Neggs were hidden in a meadow scene image. Users purchased a basket pack that denoted the number of neggs they were allowed to pick up, and inside each Negg was an exclusive NC Mall item.

| ===Quests=== | | ==External links== |
| In each quest, the Negg Faerie gave users a specific task and a clue to help them complete it. Odd-numbered quests were simply negg hunts; the clue indicated which [[Neopia|worlds]] to search, and users had to click through each location until they found the negg.

| |'''Kari:''' Oh, you will? That would really help a lot, thanks. The first thing I'll need is some basic building materials. There's a shop - you know, the one with all the bamboo? That'd be an ideal place to start. We don't have much time, though, so you'd best be quick - the festival will be here soon!||Go to [[Neopian Furniture]]||
| |
| |-
| |
| |'''Shopkeeper:''' Welcome to the Furniture Shop! Have a look around and feel free to let me know if I can help you with - materials, you say? Well, there's a vendor who stops in a couple of times a week. The foreman, I believe he's called. That's who usually supplies the raw materials we turn into furniture. If you'll leave me your contact information I ca - whoa! Okay, I guess you must be in a hurry. So long!||Visit the [[The Foreman|Foreman]] at the [[Hall of Heroes]] in [[Altador]].||
| |
| |-
| |
| |'''Foreman:''' ARRGGH!!! What do YOU want?!? ... I've been so busy I haven't even had a chance to eat today, so I honestly couldn't care less about your lousy materials. Go AWAY!!!||Visit the [[Chocolate Factory]] and purchase ''Delicious [[Food#Candy|Chocolates]]'' for 0 NP. Return to the Foreman.||Delicious Chocolates
| |

| |
| |'''Foreman:''' I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU T - oh hey, what's that you've got there? For me, really? Alright, what's the catch? Materials, eh? Fine, there's a bunch of ''wood'' out back. You can go ahead and take some, but you've gotta chop it for yourself. Now, if you don't mind, I'll just be turning my attention to these lovely chocolates. *glares*||Click on the word "wood." You'll need to chop the wood so that the length and ends match the pieces shown under Needed Planks.||Angry-Looking Yurble Wooden Toy

| |-
| |
| |'''Foreman:''' You're back? It's about time! Since you got what you needed without causing a minor catastrophe, I've decided to make you something from a few pieces of wood I had laying around... wait, what? You dare ask for ANOTHER favour?!? Why, you ingra-... oh, I see. Sure, I'll answer your question. *sigh* as far as the tools you're seeking, your best bet's to find a place with the heat capable of forging them. Now, begone! *throws box of partially eaten chocolates at you*||Visit [[Lampwyck's Lights Fantastic]] in [[Moltara]].||
| |
| |-
| |
| |'''Lampwyck:''' Hot enough in here for you? Hehe. So, how can I be of service? ... Tools, huh? You mean, like, hammers and nails and such? I believe I have some of those things down in the basement. I've got to stay up here and mind the shop, but you're welcome to go and have a look down there. It's far too dark to just go rooting around, though. Here, take this lamp so you can see what you're doing.||Click on ''Investigate Basement''.||
| |
| |-
| |
| |You head down into the basement. The shopkeeper was right; it sure is dark down here. OUCH! That hurt. Ugh, cobwebs! *cough, cough*, thank goodness he gave you the lamp... Straining your eyes to look around with one hand extended to swipe away any more *surprises* you might encounter, you finally find the tools you're looking for and head back up the stairs. Whew!||Click on ''Return Upstairs''.||Modern Lamp
| |
| |-
| |
| |'''Lampwyck:''' There you are. *thunderous sneeze, followed by sniffle* I should've warned you, the dust down there's out of control. So, did you find what you were looking for? That's good... well, glad to be of help. Feel free to keep the lamp; it's a discontinued model that I no longer stock, anyhow. Give my best to Kari, and good luck getting ready for the Negg Festival!||Return to Kari.||
| |
| |-
| |
| |'''Kari:''' You've returned! I was starting to wonder how you were doing. Were you able to track everything down? It looks like you've got it all. May I take a look?||Click ''Give the Supplies to Kari''.||Yellow Patterned Easter Negg

| |'''Kari:''' Thank Fyora! I was hoping you'd be able to help. I've been thumbing through this book that I found about booth decorating, which has some really good ideas, but most of the best designs seem to involve a good bit of fabric. It's going to take a lot of cloth to properly decorate this booth, but after the job you did on the last quest I gave you, I'm sure you'll be up to the task. Good luck, and don't delay!||Visit [[Unis Clothing Shop]].||
| |
| |-
| |
| |'''Uni Shopkeeper:''' *mumbling dismissively* Oh hey, welcome to Unis Clothing. What can I do for you? Spare fabric? No, I'm afraid not. In fact, rather than my usual shipment of faboo fabrics, I got... this. Ugh! Dull, dull, dull. My order must've gotten switched with someone else's... saaay, why don't you make yourself useful and find this dreadful fabric's original destination for me? If you do and they have what I ordered, I promise you can have a nice big swatch of what you bring back. Deal? Alright, run along now!||Visit [[Prigpants & Swolthy, Tailors]] to return the fabric.||
| |
| |-
| |
| |'''Tailors:''' Thank goodness, our fabric! We were aghast when we opened the parcel, expecting our usual assortment of tasteful material, only to be blinded by a most vibrant array of iridescent rags! Are we correct to assume that you'll willingly hand over our shipment in exchange for this frightful fabric of which we have no use? Splendid! Thank you, and good day...||Return to Unis Clothing.||
| |
| |-
| |
| |'''Uni Shopkeeper:''' Well, well... look who finally showed up! I got tired of waiting for you to return, so I went ahead and put in for another order of fabric. Oh well, I won't have to order more for next month. While you were gone, I gathered a few scraps and made you a shirt, in case you might actually return. Here you go - I'm sure it'll look really good on you.||Accept the shirt.||Bright Striped Spring Shirt
| |
| |-
| |
| |'''Uni Shopkeeper:''' Something you might want to keep in mind... speaking as someone who knows a thing or two dozen about decorating with fabric - you're gonna need more than just some cloth to get yourself a real fabooth. My suggestion would be to find a Neopian with a truly majestic sense of style. Someone other than me, though - I've already been more than generous with you, and I wouldn't want word to get around that I'm some sort of pushover. Okay, now get going...||Go to the [[Princess Lunara]] Neopedia article.||
| |
| |-
| |
| |'''Princess Lunara:''' Yes, how may I help you? ... I can tell you're nervous. It's alright. Go on, now... you'd like help decorating a booth? Okay, let's see. Could you describe it to me? ... Hmm. I think an arrangement of cherry blossoms is what you're looking for. If you were to gather some up, I'd be willing to arrange them.||Play [[Top Chop]], chop the block at once, and send score.||
| |
| |-
| |
| |Your skill and concentration are rare, indeed! As a reward for such a masterful display, here are the cherry blossoms that you seek. They're quite lovely this time of year, and I'm sure they'll make an excellent addition to the booth you're putting together. Best of luck on your travels!||Click "Return to Princess Lunara"||
| |
| |-
| |
| |'''Princess Lunara:''' You're back, and I see you've brought some cherry blossoms with you. May I take a look? ... Yes, these are very lovely; they'll make a fine arrangement. I'll go ahead and arrange these for you now, if you'd like... ||Click "Wait as She Arranges Flowers"||
| |
| |-
| |
| |'''Princess Lunara:''' Okay, so how does this look? ... Thank you, you're so kind. As it turns out, after putting together your arrangement there were enough blossoms left over to make this necklace. Do you like it? Oh, that's so nice of you to say. Very well, then... good luck with the booth! ||Return to Kari.||Colourful Cherry Blossom Necklace
| |
| |-
| |
| |'''Kari:''' Hello, there! It appears as though you've brought back some beautiful fabrics and flowers. I'm sure we'll be well on our way to having a gorgeous booth once everything is in place. Here, I'll just take these and get started...||Click "Hand Kari Decorations."||Rose Swirl Easter Negg
