* Players will need to be able to get to the [[Aktaari Cave]]. **The most popular way is to use the [[Teleportation Machine]] to teleport to [[Aktaari Cave]] (the code is 9664 as of October 28th 2025). This requires players to have at least 25 [[Teleportation]] skill, and it will also consume 2 [[Aquamarine|Aquamarines]] every time. **Alternatively, players can skip the [[Teleportation Machine]] and run through [[Errruka's Cave]] to reach [[Aktaari Cave]] instead. Realistically, however, the high level enemies and acid swim will prevent most players from being able to do this.

*Players typically gather in the main hallway of [[Red Wing Casino]] shortly before an egg run, and at the designated time someone will summon a portal to the [[Teleportation Machine]]. *The players will all go through the portal and use the [[Teleportation Machine]] to travel to the egg run start room [[Cheb]] in [[Aktaari Cave]] using the code 9664 (verified correct October 28th 2025). *There will usually be around 8 minutes left on the timer before the egg run actually begins, and players use this time to form groups and buff up.**It is customary for players to stand on the table in [[Cheb|Cheb's]] room if they want someone to cast [[Mutation: Extra Toes|Extra Toes]] (run speed buff) on them. This buff is invaluable for keeping up with the fast pace of egg runs. After you get [[Mutation: Extra Toes|Extra Toes]] please get off the table so the buffers don't accidentally try to cast it on you again. ===Egg Run Groups===Players will typically form up into random groups before an egg run starts. You will see many players saying "lfg" in nearby chat before an egg run starts, to let other players know they're looking for a group. It's important that all group leaders remember to type <b>/loot unchecked</b> before the run starts. Otherwise if that group does the most damage to a loot-dropping enemy, other groups will be unable to get their loot from it. If that happens, expect all the people who didn't get their loot to raise hell in chat.

All throughout [[Aktaari Cave]] players will find large timers on the wall, displaying a 60 minute countdown in real time. When the timer reaches zero, the door into the [[Aktaari Cave]] opens and the egg run begins. When egg run begins, the timer resets and begins counting down another 60 minutes: this is how much time players have to complete the egg run. When the timer reaches zero again, all players will instantly be teleported back to the start room [[Cheb]] and the door will be locked again for another hour, until the next egg run begins.

Upon entering Before the [[Aktaari Cave]]first time you start an egg run, players should talk to [[Cheb]] to get in the starting room. He will give you a quest for named "Stop the egg run eventAktaari! (Repeatable)" under the Dungeons section of your quest log. The quest objectives are to participate in the killing of three Royal Aktaari (minibosses found along the way during the event) and to smash all of the Royal Eggs in the dungeon. If for whatever reason The quest will automatically complete and give you miss an objective and are unable to complete the quest with [[Cheb]] after the egg run, it's not the end of the world, it happens. You'll keep the credit for rewards as soon as you satisfy all the objectives you completed, so you'll be practically guaranteed to complete the quest on your next egg run.

As soon as the timer reaches zero and the door into the [[Aktaari Cave]] opens, the mob of players will immediately begin speedrunning the dungeon as fast as they can, so be ready to keep up. [[Windstep Shoes]] can help a ton here, as well as any abilities you have that make you run faster. [[Spider Speed Potion]] wouldn't be a bad idea either. It's normal to feel overwhelmed the first time, especially with the fast pace, but you'll quickly catch on get used to the rhythm and start getting more comfortable. It's actually pretty simple after you've done it once or twicequickly.* If you die, <b>DO NOT CLICK RESPAWN!!</b> it's usually best not to respawn, but instead wait for someone to resuscitate you.**If you dorespawn, you will NOT 'll be sent back to the egg run door - you will be sent all the way taken to the entrance of [[Errruka's Cave]]. Instead, just lay but from there on the ground and wait for someone you can cast Recall Beginnings to get back to revive [[Cheb]] (assuming you (it happens a lot, don't worry about itcame to egg run via the [[Teleportation Machine]]). You can then run back through the tunnels to rejoin the other players.* The players will rapidly progress through a long series of rooms connected by hallways. The rooms and hallways are all densely filled with level 85-95 [[Aktaari]] enemies.**Particularly dangerous are the Aktaari Cock enemies, which will call all nearby enemies in a very large radius to assist them.* Most rooms will contain one Royal Egg and one [[Xogrite Chunk]], both laying on the ground. Smash every egg and loot every chunk. **<b>Each player must personally smash every egg or they won't get quest credit</b>. **The eggs will respawn on every egg run, but the chunks won't respawn until 72 hours after you loot them.**It is highly recommended that you go into <i>Settings &gt; Keys &gt; Targeting</i> and bind a key to <b>"Select Next Non-Combatant"</b>. This will make it much easier to find & target the Royal Eggs, [[Xogrite Chunk|Xogrite Chunks]], and lootable corpses among the sea of players. The enemies won't respawn until Get in the next egg habit of regularly tapping your Select Next Non-Combatant hotkey as you run, so if through each room to make sure you accidentally don't miss an anything important.*** By default your U key is bound to <b>"Use Selected"</b> (also found in <i>Settings &gt; Keys &gt; Targeting</i>). Many people also find this hotkey very useful during egg or a chunkruns, as they find it's safe to go back easier than constantly clicking the buttons above eggs and look for them (although you might miss out on a miniboss kill while you're away from corpses with the group)mouse.* Some rooms will contain a special miniboss named <b>Knight Egg</b>. It looks like a Royal Egg, but itYou's actually ll know one is nearby whenever you see a miniboss that always drops good lootbunch of Maggot enemies appear. Make sure to loot themthe Knight Egg's corpse after you see maggots! (Don't forget to use that Select Next Non-Combatant hotkey).* Some rooms will contain a <b>"royalRoyal" </b> miniboss, such as the Aktaari Princess and Aktaari Queen. Make sure you participate in these fights because these royal kills are necessary to complete the event quest, and they also drop good loot. **These royals are also accompanied by <b>Royal Guard </b> enemies - they ; these also drop good loot, so make sure to get them too!* At Near the end of the dungeon is a portal. The portal goes back to [[Cheb]], but <b>DO NOT TAKE THE PORTAL!do not take the portal immediately!</b>. The portal is There are still a trapcouple of eggs and royals. Instead, ignore the portal and follow Just keep following the other players past it, to the final room with the final royal enemy.

===Post-Egg Run Traditions and Customs===* After the egg run is complete, most players will teleport back to the start room by logging out & then logging back in.* Back in the start room, talk to [[Cheb]] to complete the event quest and get the quest reward. If you didn't get all by taking the objectives and can't complete portal at the questend, then whatever objectives you <i>did</i> complete will count towards your next egg runor casting Recall Beginnings.* After each egg run, it is customary for many players to will stand in the start room and link in chat any skill books or recipes they got during the run which they don't want to keep. If one player wants a book or recipe that another player links in chat, they send them a tell asking for it, and then trade the person one of their own skill books in exchange as a friendly gesture of fair trade. It is customary 's polite to link your unwanted books & recipes in chat then wait a few minutes to see if anybody needs any of the books or recipes you linkedthem, and if not then you can sell any unwanted ones them to [[Cheb]].* Egg runs usually finish long before the 60 minute timer reaches zero. However, if you wait in the zone until the timer reaches zero and then talk to [[Cheb]], you will get an <b>additional reward</b> of 2 more pieces of equipment and 2 more skill books.
