• Guide: How to get your Orokeet/Orosquab/Orochick pets

    [Updated with the 3rd location on Alderaan]

    Game Update 1.2 brought us several mini-pets, such as the Orokeet/Orosquab/Orochick birds, obtainable in several steps. There are several places where you can get the eggs:

    Step 1: Get the egg(s)

    Orokeet (Unusual Egg)

    There are 2 spawn places for the Unusual Egg, both on Alderaan. Reports show that the respawn time for the eggs is roughly 4 hours.



    Orosquab (Mysterious Egg)

    This egg drops from the last boss in Flashpoint: Lost Island.

    Orochick (Wonderous Egg)

    Drops from Warlord Kephess in Operation Explosive Conflict. (Hardmode)

    Alderaan

    Location 1 (Unusual Egg)

    The first spawn point is located within Kaamos Territory, around 1930, -1451. You'll notice a cave entrance at these coords, you need to enter the cave, follow the path until you reach its end. Once you get out of the cave on the other side, you keep walking a bit until you'll notice some ruins. (Don't enter the ruins). At the left of the ruins, you'll notice a cliff top. From there, you'll see the eggs nest you need to reach. Jump from cliff to cliff until you reach the nest and claim your egg.





    Location 2 (Unusual Egg)

    The second spawn point is located within Alsakan Lowlands, around 168, 1836. It's right below the broken bridge, you just need to jump on the tree below and from the tree, to the eggs nest.





    Location 3 (Unusual Egg)

    The egg is located near Castle Pantheer (see map). You need a MGGS for this one - just stand on the pile and aim it at the Magnetic Stabilizer. Big thanks to Machin-Shin for feeding us with the tip and the screenshots.



    Step 2: Go to Tatooine

    On Tatooine you need to get the “Refreshed and Sustained” buff. For those familiar with Pure Shockfrozen Water or the Pink Magenta colored crystal, it will be very simple. Basically, you need to go to Tattoine’s Judland area and look for Water Towers (scattered desert structures that have a Water Access Panel square panel on the side). Once you drink from the water panel, you gain the Refreshed and Sustained buff.



    Step 3: Hatch the eggs

    And of course, to hatch the egg, you need a powerful heat source. The heat source can be found within the Dune Sea on Tatooine (at the Czerka Archaeological site, around -2330, 405), so you don't need to leave the planet after you get the buff. You'll find a solar panel structure (see screenshot) - you need to stay underneath the structure (where the solar panels point inwards), to hatch your egg(s). You'll notice that you gain a debuff called Heat Exhaustion that will kill you unless protected by the Refreshed and Sustained buff.



    That's it, enjoy your new pet!

      Nice little guide thanks are they are plans for guides on the other pets. I recall reading on official forums about a pet that needed a incubator ?

      We are working on creating a vanity pet compendium (as we did with the speeders) - it will take some days but we'll get it done eventually. We need to test everything we write so we won't get cursed by you guys

      Thanks for the guide! I just got my egg and i can confirm that its a 4 hour respawn. The Egg that spawns is a bit bigger then the "unclick-able" egg that lays there, and stands up vertically, shimmering/pulsing in blue.

      From the screenshots above, it looks like a Chocobo (Final Fantasy VII in 1997).

      There's a spot to get the water buff at -2312, 411 in the dune sea. I also can verify a 4 hour spawn time, and I thank you very, very much for this guide!

      I can also verify the 4 hour respawn time as well. I had to wake up at 3:55am to get my egg and my gf was on by 7:55 and we watched it respawn. XD

      Thanks for the instructions, Went to the location under the bridge and there was an Imperial already waiting, thought I saw the egg, but wasn't sure. So I went to the cave location and got it with out even having to wait (8:45 am CST). I think because the cave is some what obscure and there are lvl 40 mobs all around that players under 40 will not attempt to go there so anyone 50 may have better luck at this location. Also its far easier to get to the egg in this location as far as i'm concernd.

      Thanks for the guide, it's great!
      Just a note - we had the Mysterious Egg drop for us last night from Project Sovrak, so it looks like it's not isolated to just the last boss.

      Rumour has it that a 3rd nest has been found on Alderaan. More info to come.

      Awesome! Just wish the pets were available for level 20+ instead of just end game players. At the rate I am going, I will never reach 50 or I will have 6 characters that are 50 all around the same time! LOL! Awesome gift though! Keep up the good work EA Games!

      So do all the birds look the same or is there a difference in color?

      Nothing keeps a lower level player from these - they just require more stealth and a bit more time. I was able to get the Rahkghoul pets (yes even the Crimson one) on a 25 and 22 level alts.
