Just tried to give him a golden egg, but he refuses and says something about him not being a golden goose....and candy canes aren't accepted because they aren't related to birthdays.

You can give him 3 of each lesser items. After that you cant give him anything anymore. No new dialog after you give the main 3 items too so i guess all we can do is wait.


Edit: Herring works.

Oh, okay.

So can we get more than one gift from the old bean? per character, I mean.

Ah, so one gift for each "main" item for a total of 3 "Paper Wrapped Parcels". And three 'minor' gifts as well then?

I hope this is around for a bit. I'm going to need some time to do this on all my characters.

4 paper wrapped parcels. One for the drake kabob, one for the cupcake, one for the cider, and one for the candles.

Once you've got the main four items for him, you get the conversation option to ask him why he's almost got all the things he needs....his reply triggers the last conversation in the HoM when you go to see Gwen. You don't need to get any of the minor gifts.

Ah yes, forgot those candles. Thank you for replying.

Man, I hope I didn't use those honeycombs towards the sweet tooth title O_O

Could someone please grab Thackray's collector dialogue (before giving him anything) and post it to the wiki? (or post here and I'll add to the wiki). He doesn't repeat his plans after you give him what he needs..

Well when you leave eotn when you see him for the first time his dialogue (in team chat) is:

Hey.

How's it going?

UNOXani seems to be right... each character needs to complete EotN to see Thackaray in HoM. But entering the HoM solo or not made no difference for me.

I'm betting there's a rare/valuable item to be found in the paper-wrapped parcels. But not by by me... my results below. Not sure I can be bothered to finish EotN on any more characters, just for this.

16 paper Wrapped Parcels:
3 arctic summoning stones
5 Diessa Chalices
3 Scrolls of Resurrection
1 Powerstone of Courage
1 Armor of Salvation
3 Fossilized Summoning Stones
3 Stars of Transference
3 Golden Rin Relics
3 Chitinous Summoning Stones
1 Powerstone of Courage
15 Destroyer Cores
1 Cloth of the Brotherhood
10 Glacial Stones
1 Essence of Celerity
1 Deldrimor Armor Remnant
1 Armor of Salvation

The 48 Bags of Random Junk gave me 3 different summoning stones, 2 x 2 Monstrous Claws, 1 Tempered Glass Vial, and a scroll of rez. The rest were all common crafting materials, or trophies - the amounts vary in each bag eg. 3 Dredge Charms from one bag, 4 Dredge charms from another bag.

Take advantage of this, I've been selling complete sets for 25k each, made a little over 400k in 2 - 3 hours.

I've had him appear and I have not completed EotN with any of my characters.

Tried now with another that has only got to the EotN, and he does not appear. Maybe the char needs to have completed a certain amount or reach a certain rank in some or all eotn titles ?

Just for those having the same issues I had.....

1) You have to have the dialog completed between Gwen and Thackeray in HoM b4 he will appear outside EotN. (this means all dialog...you'll have to zone in and out several times)(Gwen will say "Wait. What did I just agree to?" when dialog is complete)

2) After talking to him outside, then u can trade Necromancer Muune (3 honeycombs) for 6 candies.

3) Return to him right outside Eotn and trade for Parcels or bags of crap

Yes I was standing in front of Munne yelling at her why she wouldn't take my honeycombs. Turns out you have to activate Thackeray outside eotn first.


Also, Thackeray doesn't come into the HoM of my necro (has only done finding the bloodstone and curse of the nornbear), but teaming up with my second account's rit (completed eotn) did bring him in. So just team up with a char who does activate Thackeray and you can get him on those chars as well.

My mesmer hasn't completed prophecies (still needs to do the last two missions), and hasn't completed EoTN (has completed the asuran arc, but not the norn or vanguard arcs). Thackeray appeared in the HoM for all conversations with Gwen, and appears outside asking for candles etc.

Maybe completing one arc is the minimum a character needs to do?

For the record, he doesn't take Grog because it makes you talk like a pirate(something to that effect). :P I'll get the actual dialogue later; can't get in game at the moment.

Ha, I just so happen to have a few stacks of apple cider that have just been collecting dust on my storage toon. Some of the wrapped parcels are decent rewards, so it looks like I'll put these ciders towards them.

EDIT!: It looks like Thackery also collects EL tonics as well. So all you button-mashers out there, be sure to read what you're giving away first.

Better reward seems to be is to sell them.

Some people say that the next part is to find his secret garden. Maybe the garden is already ingame since he tells us alot of info about it:

1) Its on an overlook in the mountains
2) He checks the garden whenever he is on mhis way to or from a mission and when he is off-duty
3) Its green place nestled on the side of a mountain near their homeland (Ascalon)
4) This might be a clue too, he talked to Nickolas last time he saw him.

I thought I could repeatedly hand in ciders to him. It' just a one time deal, though I did get an armor of salvation out of it.

Whelp, looks like I'll be selling these then!

Also (unconfirmed) im not sure if thackery appears if you enter the HoM solo... it may have been me, but I dont think he appeared till I added at least 1 hero to party.
I'm not sure what the trigger is either. My warrior, who has completed Proph but not EOTN, got the dialog and item exchange, as did my dervish, who has completed EOTN but not Proph, but my mesmer isn't getting the dialog, and he's finished Proph and done more of EOTN than my warrior has.

It's easy, please someone correct me if I am wrong.

Take 3 honeycombs and trade them for candles, you do this in sardalec with necromancer munne.

Then find a drake kebob, either hunt for drake flesh and trade it in in kamadam or buy them.

Find yourself a Birthday cupcake and some applie cider and you are done.

Maybe there's an ebon vanguard rank that triggers him. Haven't tested this though, just something that popped into my head, since they're both in the ebon vanguard.

Latest trigger update: my paragon has only eotn unlocked, has not been to gunnar's hold or anywhere else in eotn. Thackery appeared in HoM when paired up with my warrior (completed eotn) and appears outside eotn after the dialogues.

But my paragon can't interact with thackeray outside eotn, and when she is the only one in the party thackeray doesn't spawn outside eotn any more.


Latest trigger update 2: my warrior (2nd account warrior) is level 19. Thackeray doesn't appear in HoM when paired with a lvl20 char who has completed eotn (he appears fine when the lvl20 char enters alone).

I just turned my warrior lvl20 and all is well .


Update 3: my 2nd account warrior only has eotn and gunnar's (1 more outpost than the paragon) and also cannot interact with thackeray outside and does not spawn him when alone.

I tested that too. My dervish is rank 5, my warrior rank 3. I turned in a 10 page book on my mesmer to get rank 3, but still no dialog between Gwen and Thackery in my HoM on that character. My assassin is rank 5 and she doesn't get it either. I'm wondering if it's related to the EOTN wintersday quests, but I only did them on my warrior...

They add a nice bug.
When you try to vanquish talmark land...simply you can't.

Dang, what's the trigger? Only managed to get him to spawn on 2 chars.

The other four have not completed Eotn entirely, but at least 2 arcs.

If it is really the Wintersday-Quest I'm screwed. Plus that would be pretty stupid... But I think I did that with all my chars last Wintersday.

So what's the trigger? Random Bag requires random conditions I guess

Edit: Both chars had at least People Know me, the others have no Koabd-Title (4 or less maxed titles). Doesn't have something to do with that, does it?

Obvious conclusion should be obvious.

No, I don't think it's the KOABD title either, only my warrior has that.

Edit: And no, it isn't an OBVIOUS conclusion, because there are some people who have gotten the exchange on characters that haven't completed EOTN.

The wonderful new "shining blade camp" made impossible to vanquish tyria 'cause talmark land not contain any hardmode tasks.

Thank anet.
Good Job.

Being unable to vanquish Talmark for a day until Anet can fix it in a minor update is the end of the world.

You should do the Rilohn Refuge mission and tag alongside Dejah before she opens the gates. There are three big groups of Drakes along the path she takes. I was getting frustrated hunting earlier since all I could find were annoying Skales. I ended up going into this mission and got a meat chunk the first go around.
