So many people talking about this rabbit....just read the "Notorious Foe: Nafastu, Earthbound" in Sifhalla (when the game goes live) and the rabbit thing will make perfect sense to you.

But you come across the rabbit before you reach the sign... I fell for the evil ploy too. Of course, I got a lot of norn points out of it so it wasn't all bad.

On the topic of skree wing farming - I ran around forum highlands with my heroes and no henchies and got tons of skree wings. I'm trying to get items for each of my and my boyfriends' accounts, so I needed 15 skree wings. And it only took me about 2 hours. All I really needed was broadhead arrow for the griffons and a MM.

Then thats different but most likely this is not the case. Not alot of us actually do that kind of stuff for our significant others.
I was just messing with her anyways.

I found this guy, Nehdukah, last night while rolling a new derv. He claims to have hatched and raised moas. I don't remember anyone posting about this guy with respect to the moa eggs before, but long thread, I may have missed it. I also didn't have time to go back with the materials to see if he helps or not. So, does anyone know yet if he is relevant?

the Hallowed point is part of a quest involving monoliths and a scepter i believe, i don't think there is some other use for it.

Works just as easily in HM as it does NM, seriously, there's no difference except for better+more drops..

The loot of one run...

+500 gold

Just sword people and cast blessed signet or one of your maintained enchants before you SoJ. I also did it before protective spirit, but it doesn't make a diference.

All tyrian collectors have been checked and none of them have new items.
Of course that is not counting the guy with the herring.

Well, I picked up my copy of GWEN today and was reading through the manuscript and I came across this passage.

"Over the past few years, life has begun to spring up in Echovald Forest as many areas have seen new growth take hold. Some even claim to have seen a change in the Jade Sea-small pools of water forming or even waves moving beneath the frozen surface-but these reports are unsubstantiated rumors at best."

I'm wondering if anyone has noticed anything new happening in the Jade Sea area aside from the addition of Katherine...

could this be in reference to the sylvari? me and my friend were throwing around ideas about the moa egg and we came up with a crazy idea that the moa eggs werent actually moa eggs but the moa found the egg and guarding it as its own and will eventually hatch into a sylvari or something like that.

Hmmm...wonder if the baby moa that you can supposidly hatch would be used as a transportation system? Beats running around everywhere...maybe hes meant to act as a quick way to get around?

No idea if anyone threw this out, but im just adding my thoughts.

Guess we will see come release....

Katharine is still there. Standing by her right now. Maybe you got a quest interfering.

Anyways, todays update addet "Fragile. (Cannot be Dropped or Traded.)" to the Nesting Material. A clue perhaps?

btw, I'm loving this. Hope to see more things like this in the future.

Clue, maybe... but one thing is for sure, anyone who doesn't own NF will not be able to get whatever this Moa Egg turns into... even if they buy all the other ingredients.

That's assuming that the Moa Egg and the Nesting are related...they could be completely unrelated.

people are assuming all these things that are being found are all related...and I agree...I'd like them to be part of some quest rewarding people who own all three campaigns plus GW:EN...but don't be surprised if they are just added quests that involve the individual items by themselves.

Besides, who says it doesn't have value? Or it doesn't turn into an ultra rare pet? Or a unique minipet? Or a giant dragon of doom who eats your face? Not me, certainly. People are going to have to wait until Eye of the North comes out to find out what it does until then, let the speculation continue!

Does it make sense that it's a mini-moa? We stole the egg from full-sized Moa's so it might start off as a fluffy baby but won't it then grow up big and strong on it's diet of berries, fish and rock?
