Enlightened percipients have a never-before-seen drop, Obsidian Chitin tails, a 5E +1 Amalgamy tail. Presumably in the near future we will see more sources for them.
Additional enlightening etc. doesn’t seem to add advantage, Another failure outcome is an unidentified thigh bone (aged invigorated). Invigorated percipient success: 1 Memory of a Much Lesser Self, 15 Phosphorescent Scarabs.

Partially Invigorated Aged Egg: 1 Monstrous Orb
Could have at least given players a warning in advance that the egg merchant goes away 2-3 days before the official end of the Whitsun event eh?
Perhaps this is the recurring pattern of all events in this game: tapering off 2-3 days before the official end of the event.
I thought they did mention that, way near the beginning of it. The official end was going to be today, but they extended it for a few days because of the server issues/downtime during the first few days of the event.
I like the tapering off because it ensures nobody will lose what they invested - you have a few days to use up any eggs.

I definitely mentioned it in my guide here: https://community.failbettergames.com/topic27906-whitsun--guide.aspx

I don’t know how you could have learned the end date without also learning the last day to purchase eggs; I don’t think I’ve ever seen one mentioned without the other
I’m getting a little concerned that my last critter is now 2 hours overdue to hatch. This is particularly worrying since I’d planned to partially enlighten some percipient eggs and break them open for tails, but I can’t do that until the current critter hatches.
…all is well. I’m actually doubting myself, and maybe I’d let my hatching time drift 3.5 hours? I didn’t think so, but yesterday was a bit crazy, so perhaps. Anyway, started making headway on the four dozen percipient eggs I was afraid I’d lose if that last one never hatched.

I broke all my remaining partially invigorated aged and enlightened percipient eggs.
Got a tomb lion’s tail, a monstrous orb, two obsidian chitin tails, and a bunch of jet black stringers and bones.
These egg-cracking loots (which I do not yet have) still elude me:
[Ambiguous Eolith]
[Carved Ball of Stygian Ivory]
[Memory of a Much Lesser Self]
[Sabre-toothed skull]
I’m sure I’ll get them when I unlock more places: railway, ship, Parabola(?), bone market etc.
I believe you can’t upconvert zee-treasures like other items?

Yes, there are multiple sources for all of those.

Correct. (At least for now. Who knows what may become possible as Failbetter turn their attention to Zeefaring.)
