I doubt that matters really. You only need to have finished EotN and have sardelac sanitarium on your map so you can go talk to Munne. I think that's all...

I'm excited to see what's next... Gwen isn't very mild on him. Beginning to doubt if Logan Thackeray is a descendant of Gwen and Thackeray... Gwen will stay single permanently with that attitude :P
Move on Thackeray. Move on...

My unloved 'sin who never gets to do anything these days was able to get the picnic / gift conversation in the Hom / in Ice Cliff Chasms. So it doesn't look like that's a requirement. (She has finished prophs + eotn FWIW)

Edit: To clarify, she didn't do the wintersday eotn quests in 2008 or 2009.

I have a survivor character who only did the first part of the wintersday quests (didnt want to risk it)...and no thacky showing up...so I know you need to do more than just the first one......also tried it with a character who did all of the quests but has finished NO campaigns (mule) and she got thacky to show up---so I believe that you did need to do the quests from wintersday. (will do more research on another mule tomorrow).

That's not exactly true - My Warrior hasn't done any EotN story-line quests, but got the entire Thackary thing. I did do the Wintersday quests with her, so I wonder if it's an either/or thing. (i.e. To activate the dialogues between Gwen and Thackary, you either have to have done the Wintersday quests or completed the Eye of the North campaign.) Dunno!

It is going to be interesting to see how it plays out.

I think you might be on to something Kook.

You have to have done 1 of 2 things:
- complete wintersday quests; or
- complete eotn

I was able to piggyback a character (rit) created after Wintersday who has not yet finished EotN or Prophecies. Thackeray was not spawning in the HoM for him, so he went into HoM in the party of a character on another account who had finished the Wintersday quests but had not yet listened to any of the dialogs. After the dialog chain was finished, both went outside the Eye and were able to speak with Thackeray and start the hunt. (In fact, the rit went alone to get the candles, since the other character is Canthan and has not been to Ascalon yet.)

Your character needs to have EoTN completed before you can see Thackeray in HoM. It's incorrect that you need to have wintersday quests completed to make him appear in HoM.

True, yet ~ my Sin (completed EoTN) gets Thackeray to show in the HoM; however, having not completed the Wintersday quests, Thackeray only repeats the dialogue at a certain point and will not finish the chain to spawn outside.

Going in the HoM with another char that has completed the Winterday quests/EoTN allowed Thackeray to finish the dialogue chain and spawn outside in the Ice Cliffs.

Theory....

Something Gwen mentions during her chat (""*snort* Please. I've faced charr hordes, stood firm against a great fire wurm, and have literally seen the sky falling"*) makes me wonder if the trigger is in EOtN at the point after you complete "heart of the shiverpeaks" (And kill Cyndr, which im guessing is the great fire wurm?). All the people who claim they havent finished EOtN (yet can get to thack), have you possibly done this quest? (Either as part of quest string or maybe tagging along with a friend).

(*PS : Im guessing gwens reference to the other events are fixed points her life, not influenced by players, unless Gwen has slain some great fire wurm im not aware of!)

My theory is that you need one of these two things, not both (which is obviously incorrect).

i got a ton of crap and i got like 10-15 chalices 3-12 rins, 3 deldrimor armors,1 clothes of brotherhood, 10 cons, several summons stones and some other okay stuff. One girl cant do it since she is in pre, but all others but one have done the hunt.

but one didnt do the wintersday quests since she was rerolled afterwords. but only one finished proph rest started in proph. and some only finished one or two campains. havent tested with my ele yet she is in post and only done enough to get a few towns.

Another note is their a time limit? i mean does anyone know when this will end? cause i dont wanna have to grind my ele out in eotn to do it when i could be farming.

I've completed the scavenger hunt on three characters and I had only completed some of the Wintersday Quests on one of characters.

9 out of 10 of my characters have never completed a single wintersday quest, nor have they even accepted them. They have all finished eotn though, so that must be the pre req as all had thackaray spawn in the hom.

I agree. None of my 10 chars had done the Wintersday quest, yet all were able to interact with Thackeray. They all had completed EotN though.

So Wintersday Quests appear to be ruled out by the other responses above.

it seems that if you did not finish the wintersday quest BUT have finished eye you can get tharkary to show up.
IF you ONLY did the wintersdays quests and have NOT finished eye--he will show up too.

so its seems there are 2 ways to get him to show up, as many have posted for both ways.

Necromancer: Didnt finished EOTN, didnt participate in wintersday -> No appearition on HoM.

Assassin: Finished EOTN, didnt participate in wintersday -> Appeared on HoM.

Necromancer (Girl): Didnt finished EOTN, didnt participate in wintersday -> No appearition on HoM.

Warrior: Part of EOTN done, didnt participate in wintersday -> No appearition on HoM.

Pretty much finishing EOTN as prerequisite.
Warrior even has central chamber map and so, doesnt matter.

Maybe just Vanguard part needed?

I will say it again...I have a character who has NOT finished eye---only has gunnars hold, yet did ALL of the wintersday quests and was able to get tharkary to show up....finishing eye is NOT a prerequisite IF you have done the wintersday quests. (I also have 2 mules that ONLY did the wintersday quests: they have done NONE of the eye quests--finished none of it-- other than the one to get you there---they BOTH have thakary showing up)

so EITHER:

finished eye

OR

completed all the wintersday quests.

I will vouch for this 100%. As I have said earlier, I completed the Wintersday Quests on my Warrior, and have NOT completed EotN. I went through the entire Thackary/Gwen thing up to and including Thackary appearing Outside asking for stuff with her.

I think you have to kill the firewurm to get the great dwarf sumething? Been a while but I don't think you can finish it without the quest?

I have done both wintersday quests and eotn so Lieutenant Thackeray spawned in hom. I watched all the dialogs then went out and talked to him about the things he needed. I brought him the ones which give you Paper Wrapped Parcels after that i watched the last dialog in hom but the thing is that Lieutenant Thackeray is still appearing outside eotn asking for stuff even though i have already given him and he has been rejected by Gwen... Is this normal?

I have chars that havent completed EotN and did not do all Wintersday that have the Thackray thread and completed it... so there may be another "either" to this also....

How far along did your character get through the EotN?

Just checked, the character has the following open on the quest list:-

The Missing Vanguard (spoken to Gwen and travelled to Longeye, but not done Warband of Brothers yet)

Knowledgeable Asura (spoken to Vekk and travelled to Vioxxen but nothing else)

Northern Allies Done Curse of the Nornbear and travelled to pick up the "optional" parts but nnot done them.

FYI Its a NF char (para) is past Dragons Lair in Proph, to House/Cavalon in Factions and to Jennurs Horde in Nightfall (wonder if the char has to be ascended to get the quests?)

Now the character had interacted with Thackeray at Wintersday as I did the first (easy quest running with the 3 items) but did not do the full set... perhaps its just that first interaction that is relevant rather than doing all the Wintersday quests??

I think I have decided.. its what Microsoft would call - an added "feature". It is confusing to be sure, but I have about 60 chars to test it on so hopefully by trial and error we'll figure it out - just the time involved >.<

Thackeray seems to be slightly bugged. D: Seems that if you give him stuff when your inventory is full, you won't get anything in return but it still counts as though you've given him the item eventhough the item isn't rremoved from inventory.

Had this happen when I brought him 12 votive candles & forgot to clear my inventory. I got the 'thank you' dialogue but still had 12 candles in my inventory. When I freed up a slot and spoke to him again, I got a sack of random junk instead of a parcel eventhough he hadn't taken any candles from me prior to this. D: Has anyone else encountered this?

It is NOT necessary to give Lt. Thackeray all 'premium' items to unlock the final conversation with Gwen. I gave him:

Drinks:
-Dwarven Ale (did not have the Hard Apple cider)
Food:
-Drake kabob
-Sweets:
Chocolate bunny (did not have the Birthday cupcake)
And the Votive candles (+ some items he refused)

That was enough to unlock the final conversation.
