Creature egg

The official GemStone IV encyclopedia.
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Creature eggs were offered as a prize to those who completed the Ebon Gate 2015 quest. There were five color choices available with different creatures they would hatch into after the egg was interacted with enough. It takes a bit of time to get your creature to hatch and requires effort to keep it warm.

Each of the five hatched creatures can provide a unique item specific to their type when interacted with once every four days. The item produced can be used with the stationery paper writing system. The hatched creatures can all be worn and will show up in the unique feature field if no other item modifying that feature line is already worn.

Unhatched Egg

The unhatched egg can be interacted with until it is hatched. Depending on whether the egg has been warmed in the past 24 hours, verb messaging will vary slightly.

Similar in size to a small halfling's fist, the nautilus's shell forms most of its bulk.  For the most part it resembles the empty nautilus shells one might find washed up on any beach.
