how to get the costume for Procoptodon during this easter event?

[Udju]

Hey :)
i read that i have to gather special eggs from wild Dodos with mate boost, but how many eggs will i need and whats the recipe? do i need the recipe to craft it?

[Udju]

i heard 70, could some1 please confirm? and put in cooking pot to get the costume?

[TheNightglow]

yea 70, if you open cooking pots there is a crafting field in it which is showing you the amount of eggs

....
but dont get your hopes up.... getting those eggs takes forever... and you wont gather them coincidently while playing, they are just too rare

last year we kidnapped the bunny dodos (dodo with bunny ears) with grabling hook and flyer and put them in a pen, thats about the only way you can get a high amount of those eggs....
but someone has to be around the pen all the time.... otherwise they despawn

70 for procto outfit is correct. You can build a cooking pot and look inside and it shows/tells you.

Ok thank you. i already have 21 eggs. i got them from normal looking wild dodos, no bunny ears.

Just did some minor testing. It seems that the females are only dropping the easter egg for me ( not 100% positive yet, but I mad 2 pens.

1st pen: 15 female dodos / 1 male dodos
2nd pen: 1 female dodos / 10 male dodos

the 1st pen gets around 4-6 easter eggs every egg drop round ( about 10-15 min )
the 2nd pen is lucky to get even 1 easter egg every drop round.

The above is just an FYI, so you may want to round up more females and only a couple males.

*edit - I am also picking up all the regular eggs they drop, not sure if it affects it in any way or not though.

I think the male dodos still lay regular eggs.

from archived patch notes: http://steamcommunity.com/app/346110/discussions/0/535151589891562062/
"175.0:
Note about fall damage: non-ridden, tamed dinos do not take fall damage.

- Dino inventories now have limited slots (this was always intended, the value was just inputted incorrectly prior to now ;)
- Argentavis can now also pickup characters, with a higher weight limit than Pteranodon
- Nerdry Glasses and Rex Bone Helm are now paintable
- Fixed bug where Tribe data could be lost or corrupted, and bug where players who left Tribe would still be considered as "in" the Tribe.
- Majorly reduced stalls when streaming in new area zones
- Added a radial "Whistle Wheel" that you can use to choose from among the many whistles now available. Access it optionally by briefly holding the "Whistle 'You Follow'" key!
- Only female creatures can lay eggs now. I know, this makes me sad but it had to happen ;(
- Added volume slider for voice chat
- Eliminated delays upon Dino AI finding new targets, make the AI's snappier and more lifelike. Also made tamed Dinos cancel their current movement whenever they are given a new order/AI-state, making them more pro-active.
- You can now open gates with the [E] / Use key when riding a Dino, without having to dismount

yay i got all the 70 eggs and made the costume! one needs to add the eggs and light the fire in the cooking pot, then it can be crafted like in the workbench.

[Udju]

How long will the event last? means how long do we find the eggs and will be able to craft the items?

[Udju]

i read it on the startscreen: one week, until 23rd of april.

you can make a small fenced in area and place a male dodo in it, and as many females as you can find and farm these easter eggs pretty effectively, I did it with about 8 female dodo's and within an hour had 25 eggs for a set of ears.

It is said to be a week long event, from which ever time it started.
