Things seem to be working again, and the FAQ updated with the dates for this year.
Festival of Neggs is coming soon!
News April 16 wrote:
Important Announcemen: We know that many have been woried about Kari recently and what her change in appearance may mean for the Festival of Neggs. So we are here to infrm you there's no need to fear because Kari will still be holding the event!!! She says that while her energy may be retty low, it will take more than some strange curse to stop er passion!! The first da will take place in one week! So be sure to check in on April 22nd (4/22) to start participating in this year's festivities!
There are some intentional letters missing there. Interestingly enough, they spell a word:
TROPHY - Does this mean there will be one for the Festival of Neggs this year?!
It will be interesting to see how the Negg Festival goes this year, with Kari being grey and all.
Kari has been affected by the strange grey curse that is going around Neopia and is struggling to run the event like normal. Will you help her bring colour back into this year's event?!
FAQ Info: There will be bonus prizes awarded to users who managed to find all of the Neggs on each day they were released. This year’s festival will begin on April 22nd and end on May 8th, end of day. Day 1 of the event will actually be a day and a half, running through April 23rd. What's wrong with Kari? Kari has been affected by what many in Neopia are calling the grey curse. However, no one really knows anything about it so we can't be sure if it's a curse, an aliment, or what! All we know is that it is somehow affecting Neopians all over the lands and nothing seems to be able to cure it. Things such as Paint Brushes and Morphing Potions seem to have no effect. Not even Naia's Rainbow Fountain can change one back from being grey!
Clues
Day 1: It's the start of another festival, so I hid the neggs somewhere central. Near some treats that no one would call inedible.
Day 2: You'll easily find these neggs somewhere sweet if you think lakes are neat.
Day 3: You'll sure be bouncy if you...ah, I can't think of a rhyme! The neggs are in the Roo Island Souvenirs shop.
Day 4: Our good friend Orion is here to help! The neggs are now hidden someplace no one should hear you yelp!
Day 5: If you consider yourself a connoisseur of classical decor, you'll find these neggs where you go shopping galore!
Day 6: Surrounded by trinkets these neggs do lay, to find them you may have to talk to a shopkeeper who speaks in a peculiar way!
Day 7: These neggs are protected by some of the most glorious buddies around. If you're lucky enough to take one home you won't be let down!
Day 8: There's no need to take the neggs up as a sacrifice, but if you have a couple of stones you could throw them in for a price!
Day 9: Where delights are so enticing you'd sprout wings and fly, these neggs are next to some heavenly pie!
Day 10: If all the merchandise has a small smile, you'll know you're close to finding the next negg pile!
Day 11: Finding these neggs does not depend on your methodology, but if you know where you can find arms of quality!
Day 12: You can learn all the insights of those long-gone, after you find these neggs amongst parchments with curses upon.
Day 13: These neggs aren't by the seashore, but she does sell them for sure!
Day 14: Sometimes the best offence is defence, so these neggs are up somewhere that will keep them safe no matter the expense.
Day 15: Hopefully, these neggs don't end up in a magical brew, or else we'll have to travel back in time to make them anew.
Maybe there will be more than 15? I guess we'll see... Day 16: Nothing gets the gears moving like a nice game of wit! You'll find these last neggs where you can try on the hottest new outfit!
If there's more than 15 clues, there will be more than 15 answers.... Day 16:Cog's Togs
Orion Sub-quest:
The Orion Sub-quest (that began on 4/30/2024) is to find "anomalies" throughout Neopia. The anomaly could be in one of the following locations each day. Based on the dialog, there might be 8 days of these, but we shall see.
In the correct location for the day, you should see a foot or tail (or...?) on one side of the screen, similar to finding Raina in the advent calendar for the last few years. Click on it...
...Once you click on the tail/foot/??, a popup will indicate how many locations are left to find. Go back to the Festival hub and click on Orion. If he mentions a need to rest, then you are caught up for the day.
Orion 1st day text: Finding the weird thing: I don't know what just happened, but my visions are a bit more clear! It seems like there are now only 7 places around Neopia flashing before my eyes. Come visit me so we can discuss the next steps! Back at the hub: So you saw something strange around the same time my visions got slightly clearer? But you didn't get a good look at it? Okay, well, that is something to work off of! Keep an eye out for more; maybe we can figure out how it's all connected!
Orion 2nd day text: Finding the weird thing: I can now only see 6 places around Neopia. Maybe once we discover them all, things will finally become clear. Come visit me so we can discuss the next steps! Back at the hub: Hmm, so the strange thing is some sort of creature but it disappeared before you could get too close? Well, I suppose it's only a theory at this point but this seems connected. Maybe try and figure out if there is any sort of connection between the places it shows up.
Orion 3rd day text: Finding the weird thing: I can now only see 5 places around Neopia. Maybe once we discover them all, things will finally become clear. Come visit me so we can discuss the next steps! Back at the hub: Okay, this strange creature you keep seeing has to be connected to my visions. It seems like each time you chase it away my visions dwindle. It's almost as if the creature is being chased away for good. But why would it go there in the first place?
Orion 4th day text: Finding the weird thing: I can now only see 4 places around Neopia. Maybe once we discover them all, things will finally become clear. Come visit me so we can discuss the next steps! Back at the hub: It seems like this creature appears in warm places, often at places that have food as well. That doesn't narrow it down too much, but it is certainly something! Keep up the good work!
Orion 5th day text: Finding the weird thing: I can now only see 3 places around Neopia. Maybe once we discover them all, things will finally become clear. Come visit me so we can discuss the next steps! Back at the hub: The visions of places around Neopia are too hectic for me to really take in, no matter the number. Yet, one place is getting clearer and clearer as we progress. Perhaps, once we eliminate all the other locations, I'll be able to make sense of it all.
Orion 6th day text: Finding the weird thing: I can now only see 2 places around Neopia. Maybe once we discover them all, things will finally become clear. Come visit me so we can discuss the next steps! Back at the hub: I can't help but think that this creature is lost or something...maybe once we figure out what is going on we can help it. For now, though, we are almost there, I can feel it!
Orion 7th day text: Finding the weird thing: I can now only see 1 places around Neopia. Maybe once we discover them all, things will finally become clear. Come visit me so we can discuss the next steps! Back at the hub: These visions have taken a lot out of me, but I get the sense that this is all for something important. Please keep searching a little bit longer!
Orion 8th day text: Finding the weird thing: Great job! Things are still very confusing, but it's all becoming clearer! Come visit me so we can discuss the next steps! Back at the hub: Thank you for all your hard work! It seems like my visions followed the creature wherever it went, I wonder how it travelled so fast. But I suppose it must be done moving now, as most of the visions have stopped. I know we may be short on time, but I need a little while alone to hone in on what is left! Please come back soon, and I'll have more information, I promise!
9th day: Orion: Now that the visions have calmed down, the original one of lava returned. And this time, much stronger. I was able to play the Lyre to intensify it for myself and saw what looked like a crevasse next to a very tall building. This is the last time I'll ask this of you I promise, but could you please take a look around anywhere that may fit this description and report back to me if you find anything?
Visiting Moltara and clicking near the base of the Moltara Obsidian Company nets a pop-up: You enter a small, newly formed crevasse at the base of the building, and find a sort of cave at the bottom. It seems like this cavern must have been sealed up before the crack formed. Inside you discover a rather large petpet asleep by the flowing lava. Better bring it back to Orion to see if this has anything to do with his vision!
After completing Scene 8, this shows up: To reward your hard work, here are some wonderful prizes for you: Tuffala Lava Musical Cylinder Orions Prophecie Your prizes have been placed in your inventory. And a trophy to mark your interesting discovery has been added to your Site Event Trophies!

Kari is here and, despite her new grey appearance, she is excited for another Festival of Neggs! Speak with her once you are ready to begin. Scene 1 Kari: Oh, another festival-goer...it is very good to see you. Kari: I am sorry if I am not myself. As I'm sure you can see I have been one of the victims of the unknown grey curse, and well...it has affected me more than I would like to admit. Kari: Unfortunately, I was struck by this curse before I could get much headway on this year's event... Kari: Luckily, I started on the creation of the neggs long before, but as for the hiding of the neggs and clues to find them...let's just say I am sort of winging it this year. Kari: ...an unfortunate choice of words. Kari: Anyways, I sincerely apologise if I am unable to muster up my usual colourful self, but I hope you are still able to enjoy this year's festivities for the both of us!
Scene 2 Kari: I...I'm sorry for yesterday. I just can't seem to get myself together. Just give me a moment here, and I'll be ready with a decent clue today. I promise. Orion: Hello, Kari. May I bother you for a moment? Kari: Orion? What are you doing here? Orion: Mira asked me if I could stop by. She said she would do it herself, but you already told her "Under no circumstances should she busy herself with the festival when the world needs her right now." And when she went to protest, you said if she even tried to stop by you'd "make her regret it". Which she refused to elaborate on. Kari: Yes, I know that last part. I was there. Orion: Right. Of course. My apologies. Kari: No, no. I'm sorry. I don't mean to be so curt. I'm just...well, you know. Orion: No need to apologise. I fully understand. It is to that point that I have come here. I would like to accompany you and aid in another year's festivities. If you will have me that is. Kari: Thank you for the offer Orion, but I heard about what happened during the Advent Calendar. Are you sure you are feeling well enough? Orion: Yes! I admit I was in rough shape there for a time, but the intense dreams and visions subsided soon after. I was plagued for a bit once again during the month of Awakening, but neither I nor Queen Fyora could make sense of those visions. And ever since then not even the playing of the Lyre has brought forth a revelation. Kari: So you're doing better? You still look rather...tired. Orion: Now my studies for answers is what keeps me up most nights, but no need to worry about that. Let's get back to the matter at hand. I heard you were struggling to hide the neggs and provide adequate riddles for them? I shall happily take up those tasks for you, and all you need to worry about is seeing the smiling faces of those who find them! Sound good? Kari: ...I don't know what to say. Orion: Just say today's riddle. I already have it written out for you!
Scene 3 Orion: Kari...I, I had another dream last night...a strong one. Kari: Oh no, I'm so sorry. Are you okay? Orion: Yes...I'm sorry. I shouldn't be bringing this up during the festival. Kari: It's okay, if there's one thing I know about my festival-goers, it is that they are often happy to help out whenever needed. So, if you feel comfortable doing so maybe you can tell me about your dream. Orion: It was strange, it was the first one I've had that has so clearly been about some place in Neopia. Kari: Oh, yeah? Where was it? Orion: I suppose I can't be certain, but the dream was dark besides that of the glow of molten lava. That has to be Moltara, right? Kari: Seems like it. What does that mean though? Orion: I don't know. I guess I can travel there tonight after I hide tomorrow's neggs. Kari: Do you want me to come with you? Orion: No, that's okay. You stay focused on the festival! I'll be back before you know it.
Scene 4 Orion: Hi, Kari. I've got news on my mission. Kari: Did you go to Moltara? Orion: Yes, but I couldn't find anything. Kari: Have you tried playing the Lyre again? Orion: It hasn't done much since the intense visions of the Advent Calendar, and Queen Fyora has advised me to refrain from playing the Lyre whenever possible. But...yes, I did. However, I had barely started when there was a big quake in the city. After that, I was bombarded by multiple visions! Kari: Oh my! Was everyone okay? Orion: Yes, luckily the shaking didn't last long and wasn't too intense, but now I can't seem to see the original vision from my dream. These new visions are far too weak for me to make much out, and they are all so scrambled together that I can't make any sense of them. However, the small parts I can see seem as though they are flashes of places all around Neopia! Kari: So what now? Orion: I'm not sure. Even if I wasn't helping with the festival, I don't think I could possibly travel all across Neopia in hopes of answers. I can already feel the drain from the visions starting to affect me. Kari: If you need to focus on this I would understand! Orion: No, I gave my word to the great Space Faerie that I would help. Besides, I would not abandon my friend in her time of need! Kari: Orion...I Orion: Hush now! Not another word on the matter. Besides, the festival may be just what I need for these circumstances. I can't manage this search on my own, but perhaps your festival-goers can help out! I can keep an eye out as I hide the neggs, but if they could also look around as they search for them, then we would cover a lot of ground fairly quickly! Kari: That's a great idea, but only if they feel up to it! Orion: Of course! All that is needed is for them to keep an eye out for anything odd around Neopia and to report back to me if they happen to see anything. The festival can still go on like normal, and I can preserve energy. As well as look into why the visions are back and what they could mean! The visions are too jumbled for me to pinpoint a starting place, so please don't overwork yourself. Even if you can only report back one strange occurences a day that would be enough to help me out!
Scene 5 Orion: Kari, if I may ask. How are you doing? I know there isn't much known about...what is happening, but I thought you may want to talk about it anyway. Kari: I'm sorry Orion, I'm not sure I'm up for talking about me...but I do worry for the rest of Neopia. There have been a few well-known cases, but everyday citizens are starting to be affected at random. So there's no way to figure out how everyone could be connected. I've talked with Naia and nothing seems to be able to help. Not the fountain, paintbrushes...nothing. If something isn't done soon, I don't know what it could mean for Neopia. You might actually be one of our best hopes, Orion. Orion: What do you mean? Kari: Those visions of yours had you convinced something terrible was coming to Neopia. Perhaps they were meant to warn us of this grey curse? Orion: I...I don't know. The things I've seen...they didn't really show anything useful. Kari: I'm sure they did. In some way. Orion: I don't even know why or how they happened. Or why they are back now...I'm not sure I can take much more of this. Kari: I believed in your abilities back when we first met, and I believe in you now. You'll figure something out! Orion: Alright, if you can smile even through all this. Then I suppose I can keep pushing on as well.
Scene 6 Orion: What you said to me the other day, about believing in my abilities back during last year's festivities. It got me got me thinking. Ever since I found the Lyre I have consulted my cards many a time, but never garnered much information from them when it came to anything pertaining to the Lyre or my visions. But during last year's festival, I was able to gather more power through the help of a festival-goer. Kari: So do you need them to interact with your cards again? Orion: No, sadly I think even with the help of many festival-goers, we would not be able to crack the secrets behind the Lyre with just my cards alone. But the premise behind the help I received is what struck an idea in my head. The strongest visions I've had happened during the Advent Calendar, one of the biggest events of the year. Tons of Neopians gather together to celebrate it. No visions I've had yet have matched the ones during that event, but I did encounter another bout of dreams and visions during the month of Awakening. They weren't nearly as strong, but they lasted for some time. And what was happening that entire month? Kari: The Neopies? Orion: Exactly! Another large gathering of Neopians! Just like I needed to gather power from another to make my card readings stronger, I think the Lyre must need the power of all of us gathered together to power it enough to send these messages! Kari: That seems a little farfetched... Orion: I know...it's just a theory. My other is that since it's a musical instrument, maybe the Lyre likes having a crowd to put on a show for. However, that one mainly seems silly. Kari: Well, either way, if your theory on crowds of Neopians triggering your visions is correct, I'm afraid we are running out of time. There are only a few days left until the Festival of Neggs ends. Orion: Yeah...if it ends so might my visions, and we won't know why I am receiving them once more. In that case, we all need to get back out there! I can feel that we are close to answers!
Scene 7 Kari: The event is ending soon...How are things going with your visions? Orion: I haven't felt them fading, but I suppose if my theory is correct they wouldn't be yet. But please festival-goers, if you haven't yet, go search around Neopia for anything strange and report back to me as soon as you do!
Scene 8 Orion: This creature seems fairly large for your average petpet, and who knows how old she must be if she was trapped below the surface until now... With how you described the crevasse it seems like the construction of the Obsidion Co. building made the cave she lived in no longer structurally sound. Breaking it open and allowing lava within once again. I'm no petpet expert but she seems to thrive off lava, perhaps that is how she travelled around. Going all over in search of food? Whatever the case is, I am unsure why my visions would have led us to her... Kari: Wait, Orion what is that in the spikes on her back? Orion: It...it sort of looks like a musical cylinder. Like the kind music boxes use to play songs, but it's a rather odd shape. Kari: And made of lava. Orion: Yes, and made of lava. I have no clue what sort of music box could play this. But as soon as I touched it it was like a weight lifted off my shoulders. I think this must be what the visions were leading me to. Kari: And this little, big gal must have had it stuck on her while she ran all over. But how did she get it? Orion: I don't know...I suppose we are left with more questions. For now!
NC Neggs:
????? I have already seen what are spoilers for a lot of these items and I'm kinda meh about it this year if they're accurate, but I'll still provide the information just because.
Similar to last year, you don't get a separate NC negg to do something to; they're all available automatically. There are three different neggs you can can buy dye kits for: ?????. You can buy the kits individually for 650NC, or all three for 1500NC (savings of 450NC). Kits will be available to use until next year's event start, but are only on sale through May ??, 2024. Alternatively, you can buy a single dye kit that will allow you to get a single prize from your chosen negg. (I believe you're able to pick which item, just not the bonus item.)

Time Travel and Grey seem to be the only two neggs working right now. It appears that the rest of the items have been deactivated. The only one you can currently get from grey is the stamp. I don't WANT to choose time travel (I don't have grey) but I also want that gold check. I'm holding out hope that it'll get fixed before I head to bed...but since there've been absolutely no remarks even on discord that they're aware there's an issue...I'm not holding out hope on that.
It SHOULD be a day and a half day 1 like usual...but do I risk it or not? I'm not sure...
Posted: Mon Apr 22, 2024 11:27 pm ETA: I cracked and went ahead and took the Time Travel Negg. Got the Colourful Spring Petpet Garland, which I suppose is the best of the options. Really hoping that this doesn't cause issues for MLP, who was a few minutes behind her brothers and got hit with the glitch and wasn't able to pick a negg.
ETA2: Things are now fixed. MLP got her item and does have a gold check. I could've waited...but I was too worried about the FAQ being out of date and whether or not the first day would ACTUALLY be 1.5 days. Ah, well. I've at least done the Time Travel Negg now, so if I care about doing at least one of each this year, it's done.

I have no clue...
Literally. I clicked through Kari's dialog and the Clue box is blank....
Yet, if I go to the location, I have the choice of: Plushie Negg, Time Travel Negg, Glitch Negg
Gotta be Glitch!
Glitched Topsi Plushie
Going back to Kari - still nothing in the clue box, but talking with Kari yields, "You've already solved today's clue? Nice! Come back tomorrow for another clue."
Blue, did you click through all the dialogue a couple of times until you got the clue dialogue? It took a couple of tries for mine to show up below, too. I think I had to leave the page and come back after reading the intro dialogue.
Blue graffitied on my signature... But it made me laugh, so it's all good!

Yes. Several times. I even clicked on Kari a few times after claiming the negg prize, and she just said, "Noice. Ya Sowlved it. Cam back tamarra." Or something like that*
Today, It is showing a gold check for yesterday, so it's all good!
Day 2: Time Travel, Glitch, Spa ... Spa. I want the book/stamp/something good... Umbra Body Butter. Meh.
Tomorrow will be better.
*Alright, she actually said,

Pickles, I think you meant you chose glitched, not time travel? And what's the name of the wearable?
I knew today's had to be one of two lands, and at least there aren't too many places to look. I do prefer when the clue suggests the specific location and not just the land, though (so I just looked at the answer today).
Plushie, glitch, spa... I'm going to go for the book, so spa... But alas. Umbra Body Butter.
Ugh. It's got fragrance in it. I'm allergic, TNT! Next time, please give me the book. Pretty please? Hopefully there is a next time.
