The Stormland update in Steal an Egg introduces a new area, exclusive rewards, and a special event that gives you access to Storm Glass. If you have explored the new zone, you may have already noticed a mysterious cave with a machine called the Storm Conductor. However, you cannot activate it immediately because you first need to collect three Storm Glass items.
Getting these items requires participating in a recurring lightning event. Every 30 minutes, rocks fall across Stormland, and one of them gets struck by lightning. Your job is to find and destroy that special rock to collect Storm Glass. Once you have three, you can activate the Conductor and participate in another activity to earn Sparks.
In this guide, I’ll explain where to find Stormland, how to collect all three Storm Glass items, how to activate the Storm Conductor, and how to earn Sparks. I’ll also cover the Rose mutation reward and a few useful tips to make the process easier.
How to Get Storm Glass and Unlock Conductor in Steal an Egg
Before collecting Storm Glass, you need to reach the new Stormland area.
Stormland is located after the Prehistoric zone, making it a mid-game area rather than something reserved for players who have reached the very end of the game.
One of the best things about this zone is that you do not need billions of Speed to access its new content. The new eggs and other items can be stolen with approximately 150 million Speed.
Stormland is also part of the permanent zone progression rather than a limited-time area. You can find it in the permanent vault index, where completing the zone’s collection rewards you with a special weapon.
The Stormland collection includes several rarities:
- Epic
- Legendary
- Mythic
- Cosmic
- Secret
- Eternal
If you are interested in collecting everything from the new area, completing its index is another objective worth working toward.
How to Find the Storm Cave
Once you arrive in Stormland, look for the large cave entrance in the area.
Inside, you will find a much larger underground location with stairs, ladders, and a mysterious machine. This is where you need to go to unlock the Storm Conductor.
The cave also contains the Storm Egg, which has a limited availability period. At the time covered by this guide, the egg was scheduled to remain available for approximately six days.
You can purchase it using 200 of the new stone currency. Its reward pool includes Legendary, Mythic, Cosmic, Secret, and Eternal pets.
However, I would not recommend grinding this egg solely for its lower-rarity rewards. The Eternal pet is the main reward worth targeting because the lower rarities have relatively outdated base stats compared with stronger options.
Important tip: Enter the cave before nighttime if you are preparing for the event. The lightning event takes place in Stormland, and entering the cave beforehand can save you time when you are ready to activate the Conductor.
How to Get Storm Glass in Steal an Egg
<badge color=”success”>Main objective</badge>
You need three Storm Glass items to activate the Storm Conductor.
Storm Glass comes from a special lightning rock that appears during the Stormland event. The event happens every 30 minutes.
Here is how the process works:
- Travel to Stormland.
- Wait for the lightning event to begin.
- Watch for rocks falling across the area.
- Find the rock that gets struck by lightning.
- Equip your bat and smash the lightning rock.
- Collect the Storm Glass that drops.
- Repeat the process until you have three Storm Glass items.
Not every falling rock is the one you need. You specifically want to find the rock struck by lightning.
When you destroy the correct rock, it drops Storm Glass. Pick it up and keep it in your inventory until you have collected all three.
How Often Does the Storm Glass Event Spawn?
The lightning event takes place every 30 minutes in Stormland.
This means you cannot necessarily collect all three Storm Glass items in one event by yourself. You should prepare to participate in multiple event cycles.
For example:
| Event | Your progress |
|---|---|
| First event | Collect your first Storm Glass |
| Second event | Collect your second Storm Glass |
| Third event | Collect your third Storm Glass |
| After collecting three | Activate the Storm Conductor |
The exact amount you collect can depend on your participation, but the important requirement for activating the machine is three Storm Glass items.
Tips for Breaking Lightning Rocks Faster
If you want to make the farming process easier, I recommend preparing your weapon before the event starts.
A few useful tips:
- Keep your bat ready so you can attack the falling rocks immediately.
- Use a weapon that can destroy the rocks quickly.
- Switch between your available weapons if that helps you break multiple rocks faster.
- Pay attention to which rock receives the lightning strike.
- Collect the Storm Glass immediately after destroying the correct rock.
You do not want to waste time attacking every rock when only the lightning-struck one gives you the required item.
How to Unlock the Storm Conductor
After collecting three Storm Glass items, return to the cave in Stormland.
Inside, find the Storm Conductor. This is the machine that requires the three Storm Glass items to activate.
Follow these steps:
- Enter the Storm cave.
- Find the Storm Conductor.
- Interact with the machine.
- Open the item selection menu.
- Select your Storm Glass.
- Insert the first Storm Glass.
- Repeat until all three slots are filled.
The machine tracks your progress as you insert the items. You will see the Storm Conductor progress increase until all three Storm Glass items have been added.
Once the machine is fully activated, you can trigger the next event.
How to Start the Storm Rush Event
After inserting all three Storm Glass items, the Storm Conductor becomes available for the next activity.
Interact with the machine to start the Storm Rush event. You will be transported into a special flying challenge where you need to collect floating objects.
This event introduces a different type of gameplay compared with the normal Stormland activities.
Storm Rush Controls
During Storm Rush, you need to control your character while flying around the cave.
The controls are:
| Control | Action |
|---|---|
| Space | Fly upward |
| Shift | Fly downward |
Use these controls to move around the area and collect the floating clouds.
The event is short, so you need to move quickly and avoid wasting time.
How to Collect Clouds During Storm Rush
Once the event begins, your objective is to fly around and collect as many clouds as possible.
Follow these steps:
- Hold Space to fly upward.
- Use Shift to descend when necessary.
- Move toward the floating clouds.
- Collect as many as possible before the event ends.
- Try to maintain your collection combos.
- Aim for the yellow clouds because they provide particularly useful rewards.
The event lasts approximately 30 seconds, so every second matters.
You can also build combos while collecting clouds. Keep moving between the available objects instead of staying in one place.
The better you perform, the more Sparks you can collect.
How to Get Sparks in Steal an Egg
Sparks are a new currency connected to the Storm Conductor.
You earn them by participating in Storm Rush and collecting the floating clouds during the flying challenge.
Once the event finishes, your collected Sparks can be used at the Conductor’s trading feature.
This is important because Sparks are required to purchase the new Rose mutation.
How to Spend Sparks
After completing Storm Rush, interact with the Storm Conductor again.
Select the Trade Sparks option to open the exchange menu.
One of the available rewards is:
| Reward | Cost |
|---|---|
| Rose Mutation | 150 Sparks |
The Rose mutation is one of the main reasons to keep participating in Storm Rush. Instead of relying entirely on random drops, you can work toward collecting enough Sparks and exchange them for the mutation.
You can repeat the event to earn more Sparks whenever another opportunity becomes available.
Can You Complete Storm Rush With Friends?
Yes. One useful part of the Storm Conductor system is that other players can contribute their Storm Glass to activate it.
You do not necessarily need to complete the entire process alone.
For example, if you and your friends each collect Storm Glass, you can work together to activate the Conductor. This can make the process considerably faster.
Here is an example of how a group could organize the collection:
| Players | Storm Glass contribution |
|---|---|
| Player 1 | 1 Storm Glass |
| Player 2 | 1 Storm Glass |
| Player 3 | 1 Storm Glass |
| Total | 3 Storm Glass |
Once the required items have been inserted, the group can participate in the Storm Rush event.
You can also coordinate with other players to make better use of the 30-minute event cycle. If multiple players have enough Storm Glass, they may be able to organize additional activations rather than relying on a single player to collect everything.
This is especially useful if you have an active group of friends or server members who regularly participate in Stormland events.
Best Way to Farm Storm Glass and Sparks
If your main goal is unlocking the Rose mutation, I recommend focusing on the Stormland event instead of spending too much time on unrelated activities.
Here is a simple farming routine:
Step 1: Prepare in Stormland
Travel to Stormland and make sure you have a suitable weapon ready for breaking rocks.
Step 2: Participate in Every Lightning Event
Watch for the 30-minute event cycle. Find the lightning-struck rock and destroy it to collect Storm Glass.
Step 3: Collect Three Storm Glass Items
Keep repeating the event until you have the three required items. You can also coordinate with friends to share the collection effort.
Step 4: Activate the Storm Conductor
Take your Storm Glass into the cave and insert all three items into the machine.
Step 5: Complete Storm Rush
Use the flying controls to collect clouds and build combos during the short event.
Step 6: Exchange Sparks
Return to the Conductor’s trading menu and spend your Sparks on the Rose mutation once you have collected 150.
Following this routine gives you a clear progression path from collecting Storm Glass to earning the new mutation.
