The big issue here that many will complain about is the price of the Singe Egg. It has been my position that there should be some really really difficult quests in AL that take weeks/months to complete. Others would rather buy their way to the best items (with plat or gold).
The Singe Egg is required since this is an upgraded Whelp pet. However, there is another Whelp pet, Scorch. So here is my proposal....
There should be two alternate ways to craft a Nekro egg:
1) This is the "easy" way. It is not exactly easy, but can be done in a reasonable amount of time. It requires the Singe Egg, and some other ingredients as stated in the announcement post. At most, this quest should be able to be completed within a month if someone plays a moderate amount of time, or perhaps as quick as a week with some real grinding.
2) This is the "hard" way. It is considerably more difficult than method #1. It requires 5 times as many crafting ingredients as method #1. However, a Scorch egg can be used instead of a Singe Egg. Where do you get a Scorch Egg? From the NPC vendor who will sell them for 250 plat for a limited time on the weekend when Nekro is first released. Don't have any plat? Buy then from the auction as there will no doubt be many for sale just as we have seen with Ripmaw & Slag.
Method #2 will NOT be easy. It will most likely require months of playing, and hours per day, but for anyone up to this ridiculous grind, this pet egg can be crafted without spending immense amounts of gold on a Singe egg.
