Festival of Neggs
The Festival of Neggs is an annual, springtime event in which Kari the Negg Faerie displays the 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.
2010
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
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 worlds to search, and users had to click through each location until they found the negg.
- Quest 1 - The user must find the Red Plastic Negg Kari has hidden in one of the worlds.
- Quest 2 - Kari needs ingredients for her special stew.
- Quest 3 - The user must find the Blue Plastic Negg Kari has hidden in one of the worlds.
- Quest 4 - Kari wants a petpet to help around the Festival.
- Quest 5 - The user must find the Yellow Plastic Negg Kari has hidden in one of the worlds.
- Quest 6 - Kari needs a recipe from the Tooth Faerie.
- Quest 7 - The user must find the Purple Plastic Negg Kari has hidden in one of the worlds.
- Quest 8 - Kari is looking for a vacation spot and asks the user to scout out some locations for her.

Users received the Festival of Neggs Y12 - Quester avatar at the end of Kari's final quest only if each previous quest was completed before the next was released.
2011
The 2011 Festival of Neggs ran between April 6 and May 6. There were only four regular quests and three NC Mall quests offered, spaced out through several days. On April 20, quests could no longer be completed, and instead the Negg Hunt began.
Quests
| Quest | Clue | Solution | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 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 | None |
| 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 Foreman at the Hall of Heroes in Altador. | None | |
| 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 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. | None | |
| 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. | None | |
| 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. | None | |
| 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 |
