did you really think he was serious?

anyways, chances are we're going to have to get stuff from Eye of the North so we'll have to wait until next week to figure out the mystery.

I have been doing similar to what Timebandit showed but I been doing a full loop
you get between 2 to 4 wings and gold drops AND a few chests along the way.
at the last part on the hills if you want go kill the rest but there is a lot to deal with so I don't bother.

As much as I hate too I'm dumping my white tiger and grabbing a Black Moa from factions. They are already lvl 20 so no lvling of any pet is involved, besides re-training new pets will give the ole ranger something to do. I believe the final trigger will be in GWEN as well. All these things have been recently added and it would be a way for ANET to thank those who have purchased each chapter if that's what this is about and if it's a hoax well can't say we didn't all have fun on this scavenger hunt. But new content added to every chapter and randomly placed every where doesn't seem like any broken quest

I'll run around with a black moa and these items in inventory for awhile and see what happens

You ever have to clean up after a Moa bird?

I'll tell you all right now, so when the time comes, I'm easy to convict...

If I have to have a black moa as my personal pet to get a baby moa, I'm going to commit multiple first degree homicide.

I've had my pet moa since day one of GW, and I wouldn't give him up if they came out with an expansion that let me tame fifty-foot-long dragons.

Giving him up is probably the only thing I wouldn't do to get a cute baby moa.

Luckily, I don't expect this will be a requirement. ^_^

It is fun getting all these items. Has anyone checked to see if any of the other collector npcs have had any new items added like the other non-quest items? This is what I have so far:

Hardened Moa Egg
Nesting Material
Volcanic Rocks
Branch of Juni Berries
Herring

Or has anyone discovered any new areas that you take the items to to change them into something else (like the Moa Egg to get it hardened)?
Like maybe you have to take the Herring to get pickled or something...lol

even if you did have to have a moa as a pet, nothin would be stoping you from using a dif char to cap the moa and get the mini...im sure you have more than 1 char and im sure they dont all have a pet you capped in pre.

Yeah, if anything, this would probably require capping a White Moa from GWEN, since it's new and requires getting GWEN to complete this multi-campaign scavenger hunt that seems to be occurring.

Did anyone happen to try messing with anything near Gwen's little green patch near the Eye of the North with the tree and the Red Iris Flowers? I mean, it is reminiscent of Pre-Searing, and the Moas were first found in Pre-Searing, there is that small link. *shrug*

It is clear to me that the Branch of Juni Berries has nothing to do with all this moa egg story. to think that it does, is like saying that the Onyx gemstone will be needed because some real-life moa-like birds eat black round rocks to help digest food. there are a lot of funny items in GW, and the only ones which could reasonably be assumed to be related to the egg, are the ones which were introduced in the same update.

That is only assuming they are not trying to tie up loose ends and using the previously un-used items, and adding them to an actually useful quest.

No idea why you would add Onyx Gemstone to your list since they are actually a rare crafting material, and not just an item with a name.

Well it's obvious what the herring is for. You need to find the largest tree in the forrest and use the herring to cut it down! Honestly, how stupid can you lot be?

Good lord, I am having fun with this!

Cheers for the other posts of the skree wing farming spots...
I might change my strat a bit since most of you seem to Hero/ Hench them with still a good drop rate ...

@ Roo Ella: are you doing this solo? in NM or HM? with Heroes and Henches?
If solo, plz share the build with us

I am with Foo on the juni berries, the herring smells much more like the right track to me (but that is just intuition and I could of course be totally wrong).
However, this screws up my theory of one item per chapter. Which makes the volcanic rock for me interesting again.

I don't support the white moa breeding theory because it would mean to abandon your previous pet and Anet knows how attached people can be to their long time fellow companions (Gaile Grey anyone?).

I am pretty sure though that the final link will show up in GW:EN...

Good luck on your hunt fellows!

Hmm maybe you guys have to bring Black Moa and White Moa (with 2 people or maybe 1 with a ranger hero) at level 20 to the nesting place and leave them to do the rest of the job

Maybe drop the eggs there?

damn! I was just going to write the same

I'm off to find the largest tree in Prophecies..."I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok..."

(infused armor needed against the Knights who say Ni)

plus: White moa from GWEN with Black moa from Factions = grey mini moa ? :/

looks like we will have to check all the collectors in all 3 campaigns and then look for the new ones :/

To ease your mind you can have a hero cap a new pet without you having to change anything....

Yep, and I assume that, if necessary, this would work, since I've taken Jin with a black moa to the Sunspear Hall, and people ran from it. (Very funny, by the way.)

Or, as someone else said, just use a different character for the quest. (Assuming they don't decide to customize minis like in the HoH. ^_^)

You know, when I go back to Ascalon, there's still some crazy ranger standing there waiting for me to go bring him a Melandru's Stalker. He's going to be waiting a long, long time. ^_^ It's the only quest in Prophesies my main character hasn't done.

Alas, perhaps murder won't be necessary after all.

Many birds do eat rocks to help digest food

Is everyong deciding that we need GW:EN and giving up? I'll still be looking

Well I have not given up yet. I am starting the slow process of checking every collector in prophecies. There are like 144 total so its gonna take awhile.

Ok, here's my thoughts. I reckon there'll be 3 types of Moa you can hatch. Normal, Black and another (maybe White) depending on which chapters you own.

People with Proph's can use Egg + Fish + Rock + GWEN Thing = Moa

If you have Factions you can harden the egg and make a Black Moa.

If you have NF you can use nesting material and make another type, possible White.

In this system everyone with Proph can make one, having other chapters still rewards you but you don't NEED all 3 to get a moa. Makes sense since the only place you can get an egg is Proph anyway.

As lot of other people think, GWEN will finish off the puzzle.

If you finish Proph and decide to move on to Factions, I checked all of the Shing Jea explorable area collectors earlier today (with nothing new found).

But would the "Nesting Material" then turn out to be clippings that grow into a shrubbery ???

Oke if anyone need hatching, my ranger can help.

Ramina Pilinarauka with a Dire Moa Bird(pre-searing strider)
Acolyte Jin with a Black Moa(Elder)
Margrid The Sly with a White Moa Bird(lvl 14 aggresive)

And I call the Moa Bird "Red Chocobo" guess which names my hero pets would get if possible ^_^

Very close everyone. You are missing one small item from presearing ascalon ...

Drop:
Nest, Hardened Egg, Volcanic Rock, Herring (for baby to snack on), and TAPESTRY SHRED to allow the incubation to proceed.

Wow this reminded me of that golem armor from Baldur's Gate series. To make that armor you will need a certain item from each of the 3 games. This egg thingy does sound like a fun stuff. Fine the answer people and you shall have youself a cookie.

If you are hoping to tie up all the easter eggs inc Gwen's (tapestry) you would need to include broken flute, preserved red iris etc....... I don't think this is likely.

More helpful however is that there is at least one new NPC in Factions: Katharine on top of the shell in Gylaa hatcher (explorable). I found her yesterday and added her to the unofficial wiki. She doesn't offer any quests, no does it look like she is involved in any, but maybe if you give her one of your prepared items she'll "process" it. I kinda doubt it in her case though.

However, I imagine she is not the only new NPC that has been added since the update and one of them might be more likely to help.

Happy hunting!

Haha, I skip some pages so i didnt see that someone already mentioned the golden pants.

Seriously though, there should be more of this easter egg for those who have all 4 chapters. It give you that sense of 1 big world where everything connected.

Good hunting, you guys.

I've been meaning to pick up a Tapestry Shred, so why not.

Also, just finished looking through the factions collectors, didn't see anything new.
