Rant: Using whip to collect rock drake eggs
Riding a rock drake while stealing rock drake eggs from nests can be a bit annoying. I have to dismount so I can pick up the egg, and to do that, I have to carefully position my drake so I jump into the nest when dismounting. I got tired of that, so I got an idea:
Stay mounted and use a whip to collect the eggs.
So I used the obelisk parcel delivery service to mail some whips from my Scorched Earth character to my Aberration character. Yay, now we are rolling!

When I am riding a rock drake and try to pick up a rock drake egg with the whip, I get an annoying pay-to-hatch dialog. That has absolutely nothing to do with the functionality of the whip. And it blocks the whip's ability to pick the egg up!
