After removing all the Qi from a Phoenix Egg, it turns into a Dead Phoenix Egg.
Excavation Drop list[]
The egg can be excavated for a large amount of Phoenix related loot, as well as a small chance of obtaining Qi Gather items regardless of whether the required parts were destroyed during the boss fight[1].
Phoenix Flesh (35-56x)
Phoenix Ironclad Feather (12-38x)
Phoenix Iron Bone (10%)
Phoenix Mantle Feather (8%)
Phoenix Oblivion Feather (5%)
Phoenix Fire Jade (1%)
The first excavation after the Phoenix has been defeated[2] also drops:
Illuminated variant[]
This can occasionally wander on to your map as a Sentient Spirit. If it does, it's free loot. It can be extremely helpful in the early game, with the chance to gain many late-game Qi Gathering and Max Qi increasing items.
Before excavating the building, it is recommended to soul chant it to get a Primordial Soul Gem. In the case that the Player Sect has yet to acquire the Miracle, it is still recommended to excavate it anyway. It gives the same loot as excavating a regular Dead Phoenix Egg. The "Demolish" option should not be used if it exists, as it does not drop any loot.
While it is possible to incarnate the building, it's no different to a generic sentient building, and is therefore not recommended to do so.
