Why the heck do they (the devs) use shit that people don't normally keep? Birthday cupcakes and Hard apple cider haven't been available in fraking months. WTH? Anet, It should be something that is available ALL THE TIME!

I believe the trigger is completing "The Missing Vanguard" quest. (Kinda makes sense - hehe) I tested it out a bit: EDIT: This theory is wrong.
I apologize for the inconvenience.

Took new character (level 12) to EOTN, nothing - even after doing the first steps of the there- talking to Gwen, pool, Vek and Ogden, hanging a tapestry. EDIT: Got her to rank 1 in vanguard title, still nothing

Took my Ranger (level 20, rank 1 vanguard) there who had done a few story line quests, but hasn't completed any arcs - nothing. EDIT: Got "Rebel Yell" for her, and still nothing.

Took my Warrior (level 20, rank 1 vanguard) there EDIT: She had NOT done any of the story-line quests, and got the Dialog.

Must be missing something, My Warrior gets the dialog, but my Ranger has done more EotN stuff, but doesn't get it.

I actually forgot that the drake flesh that drops from those high level drakes could be used, or that there was a stock of them in that mission. Thanks.

At least I pulled a Black dye from one of the level 6 Iboga.

This might be a stupid ? but after listening to the 7 text walls from Gwen and Thackery 5 times I figured i'll ask. Do I have to listen to the whole 7 text walls on every char b4 Thakcery will accept items/spawn outside?

I have successfully gotten the goodies from Thackeray on a character that has not completed EotN, and has ZERO Vanguard rank.

I teamed with someone who HAD completed EotN, but had not heard any of the dialogues from the "tea recipe" one onwards. They took me into their HoM to hear the dialogues.

Previous attempts failed, when starting from later dialogues than the "tea recipe".

Took my Warrior there, who had completed the Missing Vanguard and no other primary EotN quests - Got the dialogs!

Going to go do Missing vanguard quest with new character to test it out... Stay tuned!
That can't be it because my Mesmer has completed that part of EOTN and isn't getting the dialog. I tried a hypothesis that you had to do one mission from each arc to trigger it, but that didn't work either.

Don't know if this has been posted anywhere else but it's the conversation AFTER you give Thackery all of the stuff for Gwen's BD in the HoM.

Thackeray: Happy Birthday, Gwen! Are you ready for our picnic - excuse me, our "off-duty outdoor meal?"
Gwen: Oh! Oh, uh... that's today?
Thackeray: It is your birthday, my lady, so... yes. Look, I got you a ridiculously huge flower!
Gwen: I can't. There are fresh reports of charr raids in the Norrhart Domains. I need to coordinate with Captain Langmar -
Thackeray: Gwen. For once, let somebody else carry the burden. It's only one afternoon. The world will not end if you aren't here.
Gwen: Easy for you to say. I'm sorry, Keiran, I can't go with you.
Thackeray: Can't? Or won't?
Gwen: I have my duties.
Thackeray: Spare me. You hide your pain behind duty and service.
Gwen: Mind yourself, Lieutenant. You go too far...
Thackeray: You think you're the only one who has suffered? The only one who has lost family and friends to the charr? Every time you refuse to live your own life, you let them win. Why can't you see that?
Gwen: I don't need to be lectured by YOU of all people! You have no idea what I've been through - the sacrifices I've made! I'm a soldier of Ascalon! I don't have time for your foolish games, or your ridiculously huge flower, or your stupid, stupid picnic - and I don't have time for YOU!
Thackeray: Maybe I was wrong about you, Gwen. You survived the charr... but I think something in you died a long time ago.

Yeah, figured that out. I saw "The Missing Vanguard" listed in my Warrior's hero's handbook and had a blonde moment. She hadn't completed it. Now I'm even more confused!

Anyone got Munne bugged? When I talk to her, she just offers me that necro quest and I can´t accept that quest or trade my honeycombs for candles. I have already obtained some stuff from Thackeray.

Anyone got something good from him yet?

If you are having trouble getting votive candles from Munne, you are probably eithr N/ or /N my friend tried and they are nec, I was W/N and only got quest. I switched to W/Ele and had no trouble. I didn't bother to do quest to see if you can get candles after.

Damn it Nice buggy update.. mmm. My primary necro can´t accept the quest nor can she trade with Munne.

Now I just have to hack my monk through couple of eotn missions. I have done with it all the missions before HoS/DD except the last asura quest and the dialogue didn´t trigger, which is somehow strange.

EDIT: Tried with my ranger (Proph completed, but not much of eotn) and the conversation doesn´t trigger. Missing Vanguard-quest seems logical reason for that. Can´t abaddon that one, sadly

Seems my para couldn't talk to thackeray because she had missed one or two of the conversations. When I teamed up with somebody who hadn't seen any conversations but who had finished eotn thackeray talked to me.

After going through all the dialogues between Gwen+Thackeray, you need to talk to Thackeray outside EotN in Ice Cliff Chasms and talk to him about the candles.

Then you go to Munne in Sardelac.

Yes you have to make sure you sit through all of the conversations between Gwen and Thackery up until he talks about the picnic. Then, you follow him outside and he asks for candles, but doesn't know who you can get them from. THEN, and ONLY THEN can you go to Necromancer Munne and get 6 candles for 3 honeycombs.

I got his 4 packages and got:
Armor of salvation
3 chittinous summoning stones
deldrimor armor remnant
5 diessa chalices.

For those necros out there apparently having trouble getting candles.....you don't need to visit Munne on each individual character. You can pick up multiple sets of candles on one character. Simply give her the honeycombs for one set, and then put the candles in storage....you can then talk to her again on the same character if you have 3 or more honeycombs still in your inventory. Simply get as many sets of candles as you need in storage, and they can be used by any other character that has successfully triggered Thackeray's appearance outside the EoTN outpost.

35 Paper Wrapped Parcels so far. 2 consets, a few perfect salvage kits, a ton of summoning stones, hero armor upgrades and eotn collectibles (d-cores, g-stones, d-chalices, g.r. relics).

Hardest part? Sitting through the 6 conversations on 11 characters.........

Now I need to farm 9 more chunks of drake flesh...

Good thing I have 6 mules loaded with festival crap...

So far he has accepted (for the sack of loot):
Pumpkin cookie
Eggnog
Ales

So far he has rejected(for the sack of loot):
Red rock candy
Vial of absentine
Any tonic
Spiked eggnog
Candy canes
Candy corn
Candy apple

He will not accept:
Candy cane shards

I'll continue to work on the list...for some reason you can only give him 2 candy items and 2 drinks...odd

Edit: I think the sack of loot is pretty much any trophy in the game, so far I have gotten (per a bag open):
14 Scorched seeds
12 rawhide belts
3 stormy eyes
5 mandid unges
5 piles of elemental dust
7 frostfire fangs
3 piles of elemental dust
3 frozen wurm husks

Although it says candies and gifts cannot be traded...one can drop them in exporable areas to transfer from one character to another....if wanted.

And you can put them in storage of course (to transfer candles picked up by one char to another).

If you mean the "cant be sold" in the wiki, i think that means to the merchant, i traded gifts earlier with people.

Ways to get Honeycombs:

- 10, as a random drop for opening a Gift of the Traveler, from Nicholas the Traveler
- 5, as a random drop for opening a Gift of the Huntsman, from Nicholas Sandford in pre-searing Regent Valley
- 3, as a reward for completing A Hunter's Pride
- 1, in exchange for 8 Stone Grawl Necklaces, from Collector Galton Franks in southwestern Sacnoth Valley

Thanks, ANet. More grinding for those of us who already did A Hunter's Pride or are unlucky in getting them from the Traveler...

You forgot to add one main way to get them - trade with other people! They're not rare nor expensive.

I go into HOM with my 2 accounts, both have finished Prophecies and EOTN. 1st toon finished both Proph and EOTN, the 2nd toon finished neither and has done no EOTN missions.

When I enter HOM with the 2nd toon as the party leader, Thackeray does not appear. When I enter HOM with the 1st toon as party leader, he appears.

I've also done the same with a character who isn't level 20 and hasn't finished any campaigns and got the dialogue and rewards.

Can someone confirm that only characters that have completed the Wintersday Quests from last Wintersday can do this Thackeray scavenger hunt thing? This is mentioned in another forum.
