Sad to say this was an oversight from test server. We bumped it up there so it was easier to test.
It will be brought down slightly, but they will not be as rare as they were before. So it should feel like a trickle of eggs rather than a storm of eggs.

Thanks for the reply. No trip to Vegas, then...

Well, no one said wrangling for pet eggs would be easy.

I only have been receiving Violet Blubberfishes (lol). Maybe one of these days I will get that Redrum (and not receive only a Mini Minotaur, I have around 65 of them). Violet Blubberfishes aren't new so its kind of disappointing, but hey, the odds are on my side.

P.S. I have so many Mini Minotaurs roaming my home, its chaotic.

I'm getting eggs every day on my level 12 buccaneer I'm starting to train up.

One day I got a reddrum and an imperial lion, the next I get an inky octopus and a silver buffalooon. Then later on the same day, I got an ebon spectre. When will this end?

I think the numbers may have been toned down from Test (from what I hear at least), but there is still a pretty decent over-abundance of eggs being brought back....for the most part. For Valkoor & only 3 of my lower level pirates (levels- 16, 15 and 10), in about the past 2 weeks, they have had companions bring back a total of 21 eggs (possibly more, as I may have sold a few). The lower level pirates only have 3-4 companions assigned to Pet Wranglin' and I only collecting 2x a day. My level 10 Swashbuckler has had the most eggcellent luck, receiving 8 and Valkoor has received 5. They've brought multiples of these back: Ebon Spectres, Cutie Chameleons, Silver Buffaloons, Tawny Sky Turtles, Ice Scarabs, Mini-Minotaurs, Reddrums, White Tailed Jackalope and Inky Octopus. Lots of critters for sure.

I wonder if the chance of companions bringing eggs back is weighted, depending on how many companions are assigned to Pet Wranglin'? Valkoor is maxed and has had 14-18 +/- companions on 'pet duty' and receives far fewer eggs (though a couple recently) in comparison to my lower pirates that only have 3-4 companions Wranglin'. I know that with the other tasks, the wait times increase and the efficiency of the crew decreases as you assign more companions to the same task(s). So, Decius, by any chance does the percentage chance of eggs returning decrease the more you have assigned to pet wranglin'? Or is it still simply a matter of that whole random thingy coming into play?

I'm not complaining though, I pass on all those eggs to my lower level pirates and let them train them up very slowly. Raking in tons of Island Sculls, Bars, Bosun's Whistles and Monkey Bars to keep funding my Mighty Morphing Madness. So, keep those eggs coming!

And congrats Madison and Indigo on your continued egg success. Just whatever you do...don't ever tell your pet wranglin' assigned companions to "Get crackin'"!

I've noticed the difference in eggs received from pet wrangling also. I usually have about 12 companions wrangling. Out of those twelve, I'll sometimes get none, but other times get like 4-6, or 2.. but it's not anything I've begrudged. I've noticed that all the wrangled pets sell for 1500g to the vendor in Avery Court. So it's a good cash boost for my lower level pirates :D

These days the eggs come in clusters. So if you have multiple crew reporting in from wrangling, if you hit one egg, you will likely hit multiples.
