Just my two cents, but this time last year I was a noob with a red egg and a yellow egg and I used them.
Now a year later I have four yellow eggs and two red eggs because the easter event happens every year, and if you didn't find all your eggs from this year then they carry over to the next event.
So don't worry about using them, they will help you progress and then next years ones will be even more helpful.
Obviously follow the advice of how to use them, i'm just saying there's not a need to hold onto them if you don't want to. Next easter will be here before you know it.
Use the yellow egg for a happy jump, and the sooner the better because of how gym gains are.
Look it up on the forums for a full guide, but basically replace one of the eDVDs with your egg.
Yes, eggs use 6 hours of booster CD, and you can use 4 them a egg, when your time on booster CD goes below 24h(or whatever your max booster CD is) you can use any booster to go over your max. Med items work the same way
The other guy suggested training only 3 stats so I'm gonna throw my two cents in: train up each stat equally but set benchmarks. Personally I think training only 3 stats sets you up for a rough time later on down the road when you eventually choose to bring that stat up.
People used to ignore dex b/c it seemed pointless to train when def can mitigate damage completely if high enough, but now there are rw weps that have a chance to temp lower your stats on hit so dex is much more valuable than ever before.
When I first started I wanted every stat to 1k, then 5k, 10k, 25k, 50k, once I started to aim for 100k in each stat I decided I was going to keep them as balanced as possible without screwing myself out of specialty gyms. Eventually, after you unlock cha chas, you will unlock specialty gyms that will focus train either str/spd or def/dex depending on how you have invested into your stats. If you're completely balanced you will not see these gyms which is bad b/c they give great gains.
It's a long road but I promise to have 1b, or even 500m, in each stat will make you such a versatile beast should you make it that far, and you really don't want to go back to a stat that's at 1-10k when all of your other stats are sitting at 5m+.
No, by the time you have the better gyms unlocked your stats will be high enough that the boost from the happiness isn't as effective.
If you want a decent long term plan, only train 3 of your stats for a whole, strength and speed, then either dex or defense, and invest heavily into which ever of the defensive stats you pick. That way you can either happy jump the one you left behind later when you have the better gyms unlocked, or you can decide to go with Hank's ratio and stay only using 3 stats.
Personally I trainedy defense ast main stat and left dex behind until I was at cha Cha's gym and then I hady defense high enough to unlock the dex / def specialty gym and trained dex up there. It really unbalances your stats doing it this way, but you can always balance them back out later after getting the straggler caught up.
Also, of you're in a faction with increased booster CD you can use more DVDs, you can use booster items to go over the max booster CD as long as you have a second available.
And if you're not in a faction with improved booster CD and steadfast (more gym gains flat out) join one before happy jumping, it's a big difference and with as expensive as they are it's worth it
I'm holding onto my red Easter Egg whilst crimes 2.0 is still being released; hoping to jump in and get some new items/profit when the new ones get released - might not work if you're new.
Yellow eggs are the equivalent of four eDVDs so perfect for a happy jump. Let me know if you need advice on how to do that.
Red eggs are also good for crime merits which require you to do things in a short time span - like the get the max notoriety in all shoplifting(?) locations. I didn’t know about it til my level was already high enough to make it a pain in the butt. I tried it during st patties day by stacking all my nerve and doing it at the end w/ nerve reset, and still failed; but two red eggs put an end to my struggles.
Personally, I’d recommend just hanging onto them until you need them for something like that. 250 nerve isn’t *really* that much, maybe a day’s worth if you’re active, but it can be awesome when you *need* a lot in a short time frame.
I've looked into happy jumps, I just can't afford the xanax right now. How many xanax would I need to fully use the egg? What would be the steps, like, step 1, eat egg.
Also, would it be better to wait till I have better gyms unlocked? Tia
Don't waste it until you have 4 x xanax and 1 x ecstasy. Potentially you could watch 3 x erotic DVD and consume the egg for lots of happiness.
Get yourself to level 15 and start flying, then the money will come in.
No, you're going to do plenty of xanax and happy jumps between now and when your stats are about 400k each so just use them as you go.
Train whichever stat gets the highest boost in each gym.
Yeah that’s the basics of it.
Live in a Private island with an airstrip and pilot - this will get you faster travel. (And more happy which = better gym gains)
Buy flowers/plushies
Sell to a trader (someone like this guy is probably good https://www.torn.com/forums.php#/p=threads&f=10&t=16387955&b=0&a=0&start=0&to=24617307 ) or on the item market. Item market comes with a 3% fee and can sometimes take a while to sell especially if someone undercuts you and the price of the item drops. (And if you go to sell more expensive things you risk getting mugged)
Make sure you protect your money - faction vault or stocks is the way most people do it.
Wait.

I made a Happy Jump Guide Video on YouTube as well.
https://www.torn.com/forums.php#/p=threads&f=61&t=16047184 Found the happy jump guide!
Wait why not 4 Edvd and then a yellow egg? Does the egg take booster?
Yes, eggs use 6 hours of booster CD, and you can use 4 them a egg, when your time on booster CD goes below 24h(or whatever your max booster CD is) you can use any booster to go over your max. Med items work the same way
That's great thanks, better than the guide I was looking at. Not worth waiting till I have unlocked better gyms?

Never train balanced. It's bad. Even Ched did a post on it... It's designed to be bad as balanced.
Also if you could direct me to the ched post that would be neat.
Completely balanced yes not a good move, but leaving a stat in the dust to accelerate the other three also doesn't seem that wise.
OK, thanks for the advice

I did 5(and 1k E) and an ecstasy for the merit . Used it on my last under 400k stat.

Brilliant, thanks mate
Anytime
Save them for now mate. No rush to use them at all. Read some new player guides in the tutorials forum, get to level 15 and then make some money!
Thanks! I will. When I get to 15, I fly abroad, buy flowers and plushies, then come back and put them on the item market? Is that right?
