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. "

Can anyone confirm this?

You forgot to quote the headline of that section, which goes:

Yes, you can't use FIRE magic or any fire of any type. Think about it in the real world if you used fire on a chicken what happens to its WINGS?

Maybe, like was said above about the moa, getting a hero to charm it will allow you to finish the quest.

Yeah, unless he's using a very new and interesting definition of "drop," then the Tapestry Shred thing doesn't work ...

Also tried taking the set (Stuff + Tap Shred) to the nests in Regent and the Katharine with no luck.

All of this can't possibly be involved in a mini-moa pet. Some one at ANET has to be laughing their fool head off.

I'm confused...

I got my moa egg (unhardened), collected the skree wings and went hunting for the nesting materials. But the collector isn't where she is shown on wiki. And it isn't just that she has the normal items but no nesting materials, she is not there at all. Does anyone know why this would be? Do you have to have the lava rocks and hardened egg to get the nesting material?

Goren used a specific Xunlai box as the incubator for his shiny rock... Anyone tried it?

Aye

You have a quest from Night fall loaded which is changing how that area spawns, you'll have to complete it. Already ran into that problem with a few guild mates who had the same problem.

I took one of my rangers who has all 3 chapters to the moa nest. Clicked on the nest and nothing happened. No text, no egg, nothing.

edit: Disregard. I didn't see that there were other nests. I went to the wrong one first time. My Bad.

There are three nests, you get the egg from the far back one.

So... has anyone been through the Desolation? More specifically used the portal to (or from) the Arid Sea?

Just wondering since no one (as far as I can tell) has found the Nightfall link to this easter egg hunt and there are collectors there, plus its a relatively unvisited area.

Oh and don't forget all the Great Zehtuka and all his dropped pieces. Could the Great one have had a long lost mini moa?

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.

Then you would only need 2 campaigns, and possibly GW:EN since you cannot get the egg in any other campaign except Proph. So if you do not own Proph, but own Nightfall and Factions, your SoL.

Too funny, I made the official wiki. Vanessa my post (exact same you quoted) is about 2 before your post in this thread.

OF COURSE my post was tongue in cheek. Nearly everything you read in this thread will be. Kudos to anet for this neat little 'mini game'.

ok, HERE'S the really real solution:

- Drop Hardened egg, nesting material, rock
- Hop on left foot (in real life) while reciting the Gettysburg Address backwards
- Wait for the plantes to align so that Saturn is in Jupiter's 4th lunar cycle AND Pluto obscures the Dog Star from Mars' view

Maybe if you breed a black and white moa they will make a baby gold chocobo (i mean moa) that can travel over any terrain o.O.

I think you're talking out of Uranus...

You know, moas went extinct because people were cooking them and destroying their nests. Way to go people!

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

Why dump your white tiger? You can keep it and get a black moa too with one of your heroes.

And yeah... thanking the people who have bought all three campaigns might be a reason for spreading the materials across all three continents, but I also think encouraging those who haven't yet done so to do so just might be a driving force in this mystery as well.

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. ^_^

Should this conviction come about, I'm offering my services as your attorney, and the first thing I'll do is request the charge be reduced to justifiable homicide. Surely trying to make you give up your first pet in GW is grounds for homicide.

ok, i have found out what to do:
1. Get the egg
2. Take it to get 'Hardened' at Mourning Veil Falls
3. Collect the herring, Some Ice from Sorrows Furnace and the Nesting material.
4. Proceed to the Fire islands, and drop all these items on the volcanic rocks.
5. Wait 5mins and a bit of text appears saying 'The Moa Egg Is starting to move and a crack appears in the surface!'
6. Pick up the egg and take it to Katharine in Gyala Hatchery.
7. She gives you a message telling you to take the Egg to the Guards out side Sunspear Great hall.
8. Once at the guards they run around and for about two mins dont say anything, then one of them says 'look that egg is starting to hatch!'
9. Then check your infantry and it will be there

all credit goes to me and Leeky Baby who helped me work this out and has got one himself!

Erm when you drop its a random location around you not on an object... and never in the same place.... you'll get all the items scattered around and need to pick them up again....

I smell some BS to get more people doing needless stuff....
