UPDATE: Last egg on the egg plant tree tips please!!!

UPDATE: I did the egg task today and it was a success. Thank you all for the ideas but in the end I ended up killing a tree and when eggs popped up, I had a friend harvest first then I harvested after. You are all awesome!
--------------------------------------------------
I didn't think there would be a task more head bangable than the ghost task. Now I have "harvest the last egg on an egg tree" task. I don't live in a swampy area so I can't plant my own tree. The only other idea I have is get a group of friends together and have them harvest till there is only one left. But how many people would I need? Does anyone have any better ideas about this? Please share.

  • I went to an underground street with egg plants then waited near the smallest one for other people to harvest it down to one egg. Then I swooped in and got it for the quest. Though I may have been lucky cause I didn't have to wait very long.

  • An easier way if you have the Botany skill is to use tree poison to kill an existing mature egg plant and then plant another egg plant in its place.  After nurturing it enough for its first harvest, you can complete your quest then.

  • @warrender I love you. Please don't take that weird. Lol great idea! And yes @jordychrist you got super lucky. But I would take it either way.

  • The other cool thing is that it would kill two birds with one stone. I have to plant a seed in different regions. I guess I'm going on a killing spree! Sorry to sound happy about that. That was a bit creepy.

  • Another handy thing is to keep an eye on Global Chat; a lot of people report single eggs on there :)

  • Seconding JordyChrist - just camp by a tree, preferably on a street with relatively low traffic. Plant lots of items as giveaways and distractions near the tree so that you can warn people to not water/pet in time, before they swoop in and do so. Good luck! You find people are extremely nice about this quest and very willing to help out!

  • I was very lucky and saw a call for it in the New streets group chat, and since then Ive seen many more similar warnings in Global chat also! Its good to keep an eye on it.

  • When I was doing this quest I just traveled thru the areas where egg plants grow and chanced upon newly planted ones.  Made the mistake of watering once before harvesting that one egg there and a new one pooped out.  Rats!  But went on and finally did find one with only one egg on it and harvested first that time and finally completed it.  Didn't think of killing and replanting, but that is a very good suggestion.

  • +1 for the suggestion of watching Global Chat - many people (myself included) will pop on and post when they see one.  

    As a note, I often see last-egg plants in Simean Dims...

  • You can also gather a group of people to harvest the egg plant and then you can take the last one, but the suggestion of watching global chat is the easiest.

  • I always post in global when i see a last egg, its how i found mine so i like to return the favor. 

    If you do see me announce it, I'd be happy to summon you there as well, just msg me!

  • Tint:  good idea!

    The peter out peat quest is even more annoying.  I just did it but it was incredibly frustrating and not worth the effort.    

    I didn't find the last egg quest all that difficult.  I stumbled onto one and remembered the quest and that was that.   Pretty easy.

    Have gotten all but one of the ghosts without really trying or putting any effort into it.  

    I wouldn't have bothered with the peat quest if someone else hadn't asked for help.  So then we had to do mine as well as the quest of the other helpers.  It was a real pain.

  • often passers-by will be happy to harvest without watering if you ask.

    it's hard to do that in a very busy street, since people flying through will water before thinking, but usually people will give you a hand if you ask.

    if you;re on a street with a sparsely fruited plant, ask.
