Is it possible to spell messages in your bazaar using the letter eggs? I have played around trying to get the order correct, but I am not doing it correctly. Help please.

Inventory is funky in FFXI. Imagine your inventory as a list like this.

1. Silent Oil
2. Prism Powder
3. Echo Drops
4. Wind Crystal
5. Fire Crystal
6. Water Crystal
7. Selbina Butter
8. Mhaura Garlic
9. Carnation

If you throw away your crystals and your carnation your inventory looks like this

1. Silent Oil
2. Prism Powder
3. Echo Drops
7. Selbina Butter
8. Mhaura Garlic
4.
5.
6.
9.

You get your first egg "L" and over time, you use your Prism Powders. Your inventory looks like this

1. Silent Oil
3. Echo Drops
4. "L"
7. Selbina Butter
8. Mhaura Garlic
2.
5.
6.
9.

Now you fill your inventory with the rest of your eggs "E" "E" "L" "U"

1. Silent Oil
2. "E"
3. Echo Drops
4. "L"
5. "E"
6. "L"
7. Selbina Butter
8. Mhaura Garlic
9. "U"

So your bazaar will now look like "ELELU". Basically, you need to clear out all of your inventory and then place the eggs back into your inventory in the correct order.

When you bazaar stuff, FFXI puts the items in your bazaar list in the behind-the-scenes numbering scheme like I described above. This is regardless of how your sort your items and in which order you bazaar something.

What I'm still trying to figure out is how the hell you mine an egg in MZ like I did last night, and break your pickaxe.

It very well could've been, it never clarified! ; ;
It was a "P" Egg, and apparently those are harder than troll pauldrons, which I had no trouble mining up.
