Egg catalog
Novus defined eggs for its best-known custom pets. The Dec. 1999 Britain vending row sold several of them directly; the prices below are the preserved Novus values selected for Classic.
| Egg | Price | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Dragon Egg | 50,000 gp | Dragon |
| Nightmare Egg | 250,000 gp | Nightmare |
| Silver Steed Egg | 250,000 gp | Silver Steed |
| Balron Egg | 400,000 gp | Balron |
| Colored Ostard Egg | 15,000 gp | Colored ostard |
Custom creatures
The selected catalog includes Novus variants of daemons, dragons, drakes, liches, a Liche Lord, an ice dragon, wyvern, mummy, wyrm, Balron, and an orc family. It also defines the Silver Steed, Nightmare, Dragon, Balron, Insane Clown, and blood drop custom set.
How Redux handles ownership
The original egg scripts predate modern pet controls. Redux uses SphereX ownership and save behavior instead of copying unsafe memory-object logic. That is a compatibility reconstruction: the recognizable eggs and creatures remain, while ownership follows the current server.
