Ophidian Incubation

With Juna bumping me up to 62 summoning, I headed to the alternate Abyss to stock up on abyssal charms. It was a disappointment. With over 100 dead abyssal leeches, I had 1 abyssal charm. You'd think it'd be a little more common than that. -.- Well, that crosses off those pouches and puts my green charm useage back to ibis pouches. I took the charter boat to Oo'glog to buy raw bird meat - it's not the prices I hate, but the making of so many spirit terrorbirds ugh - then to Fally for a round of pouch making.



My charms are gone again, but I can make my own cocktrice eggs with the spirit cobra's Ophidian Incubation special. This is going to sound real newbie, but this is the first summoned creature that I've done a lot with. :) The incubation uses 1 scroll each time, so you'll need plenty of them (I used 350 scrolls). I bought out the eggs in the Culinomancer's chest (50 eggs @ 70 gp each), then teleported to a "quiet" bank to incubate my eggs. I wanted to avoid the repetitious "wat u doin" since summoned creatures are on a 3 minute timer.

So, I withdraw all the scrolls, a cobra pouch and 26 normal eggs. I summon the cobra and get cracking on incubating. The cobra has 60 special move points (just like your special attack bar with certain weapons) and it uses 3 points with each scroll. While waiting for the special bar to refill, I get curious and take out those colored bird eggs we've all gotten from woodcutting and/or Miscellania. I knew these eggs could be transformed into a -trice type egg which is the secondary ingredient in making the -trice variant pouches. What I really wanted to know is if these eggs were tradeable and for how much. I am such a greedy soul.

Here is where Bombaye1 is going to want to kill me. I -triced my raven egg into a coraxatrice egg. *hides*

Then I did the same with a penguin and vulture egg. When you're testing these things, you can't leave something out. :P Now, I've got these eggs and I tele to the GE. They all are tradeable and, thusly, sellable! And I sold them instantly, too! w00t! I saved 48 cockatrice eggs to make into summoning potions because I get this feeling there's going to be a quest where we have to summon a creature to help us fight.
