I don't really understand why creatures with one of the slowest hatching rates for an event creature is only available for four days. Like I know that just one breed of creature is available so we don't need time to gather many variations of creatures, but four days is going to be challenging for users who hatch things slowly. >.<

Also, I recall ApprenticeCrone talking about this a few days ago in the HWYDT, but I'm going to repost this quote:

The other trick to why there are so many pale arkai?

We froze a LOT of eggs and sent them to Master Belmos, then would buy them off him later! Very much more convenient than trying to hatch them all ourselves. >.<
(I think I bought close to a hundred from him, counting it all up)
Busy with school but you can find ways to contact me on my profile if you need to reach me. ^_^

It's over already? My Arkai haven't even hatched yet. Worst Arkai season ever.
Please mine my Hatchery tab. <3

Four days was way too little. Judging by a short, incomplete trawl through past threads, in previous years we usually had through the 6th to grab arkai. What gives?
Kestrad has been eaten by life. She'll probably pop back in occasionally.

I wish we had the Arkai for at least a couple of days longer. These were not easy to hatch either T_T T_T

Welp, that's that
I think I got... 20? Something like that?

Was the Striped Arkai last year? I have like 60 of those, so that might be the reason why I'd be going and saying these guys hatch slow

Last year was Aurora. Those also hatched quicker iirc.
