Overview

Egg run is a high level, casual pick-up raid that typically occurs twice a day starting from Red Wing Casino. Players are rewarded with high level gear, skill books, crafting recipes, Xogrite Chunks, and Cheb favor.

Egg Run Rewards

  • Level 90-95 equipment drops
  • High level skill books, although players will only get these if they have at least one combat skill above level 70
  • High level crafting recipes
  • Xogrite Chunks
  • Favor with Cheb

Egg Run Prerequisites

  • Players will need to be able to get to the Aktaari Cave.
  • Although not strictly necessary, it would be rude to attend an egg run without being capable of Reviving other dead players. Deaths happen during egg run and players will need to revive each other constantly, so be a good citizen and come prepared to do your part. Most players use the Resuscitate ability from the First Aid skill (don't forget to bring a stack of diamonds!)

Egg Run Schedule

It is customary for players to gather and do egg run twice a day at the times listed below. Technically egg run can be done as often as once every 2 hours, but typically most players only plan to show up for egg runs at the times below:

  • 11:35am USA Pacific Standard Time
  • 3:35pm USA Pacific Standard Time

Sometimes an egg run might be cancelled due to lack of player interest, especially if there is any sort of special event happening in the game.

Getting to the Egg Run Location

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 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.

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 /loot unchecked 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.

The Egg Run Timer

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 and the door will be locked again for another hour, until the next egg run begins.

The Egg Run Quest

When the timer reaches zero and the egg run begins, all players will automatically receive a quest. 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.

Egg Run Mechanics

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 but you'll get used to it quickly.

  • If you die, it's usually best not to respawn, but instead wait for someone to resuscitate you.
    • If you respawn, you'll be taken to the entrance of Errruka's Cave, but from there you can cast Recall Beginnings to get back to the egg run start room (assuming you came to egg run via the Teleportation Machine).
  • The players will rapidly progress through a 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.
    • Each player must personally smash every egg or they won't get quest credit.
    • The eggs will respawn on every run, but the chunks won't respawn until 72 hours after you loot them.
    • It is highly recommended that you go into your settings and bind a key to "Select Next Non-Combatant"! This will make it infinitely easier to find & target the Royal Eggs, Xogrite Chunks, and lootable corpses among the sea of players. Get in the habit of regularly tapping your Select Next Non-Combatant hotkey as you run through each room to make sure you don't miss anything important.
  • Some rooms will contain a special miniboss named Knight Egg. You'll know one is nearby whenever you see a bunch of Maggot enemies appear. Make sure to loot the Knight Egg's corpse after you see maggots! (Don't forget to use that Select Next Non-Combatant hotkey).
  • Some rooms will contain a "royal" 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 Royal Guard enemies; these also drop good loot, so make sure to get them too!
  • At the end of the dungeon is a portal. DO NOT TAKE THE PORTAL!! Instead, ignore the portal and follow the other players past it, to the final room with the final royal enemy.

Post-Egg Run Traditions

  • After the egg run is complete, most players will teleport back to the start room by either casting Recall Beginnings, or else by logging out & then logging back in.
  • After each egg run, many players will stand in the start room and link 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. It's polite to link your unwanted books & recipes in chat then wait a few minutes to see if anybody needs any of them, and if not then you can sell 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 additional reward of 2 more skill books.
  • Someone will usually summon a portal back to Red Wing Casino and the egg run is now complete!
