As for the sacks of random junk, they will have collectors around for the bday of gw that will give party/alcohol/sweet items for many of the trophy type junk in the sacks. Somewhat like it was for the going away party.

The paper wrapped presents have pretty good stuff in them so I doubt you will be able to trade them for anything.

Never saw a detailed wiki page about this. Is there a page or a forum post that fully explains all this so I don't have to go through 11 pages of discussion that doesn't contain information that I'm seeking.

Has this been confirmed, or is it pure speculation?

I not seen anything confirmed on this.

Well, if nothing else, the items from the junk could prove useful in the weeks to come for Nicholas anyway, so mine are going into storage.

An objective is met after providing either one preferred item (drake kabob, apple cider and birthday cake) or three inferior items of the respective category.

Since the quest doesn't provide any kind of resolution it is to be expected that we haven't yet seen the last act of this drama.

I cant seem to trigger the next step in the Gwen / Thackery story line
I have given Thackery all the scaveger hunt items, even down to getting all the sacks of junk, I have seen all of the Gwen and Thackeray dialogues up to #5 and teh War in Kryta dialogues up to #4.. here is the issue...

with out Gwen and Thackeray dialogue #6 where he invites her to picnic, Dialogue 5 - Evennia Recruits the Ebon Vanguard wont start....

Thackery is still outside of EOTN but only speaks of a backup plan, no longer accepts items.. and he doesnt appear inside with Gwen to continue that part of the story line..

I have gone to Lion's Arch Keep but dialogue #6 definately does not start... any ideas ?

your problem is you have to talk to thackary again and pick the option that i -think- was something like "what are you going to do with these " or "now what" i dont remember. point is talk to him again. i had that problem too before figuring it out

Yeah I believe it's something like what do you need now and he says now I need to get the girl or something along those lines.

1 option only appears when speaking to Thackary outside of EOTN

-Back up a second. A Plan?
which then leads to

"Oh yes. A plan. A plan. A glorious plan! I'm a little bit excited about it." with 3 options.. which then continues to no where

1 question leads to ""Yes, a garden. As you know, I spend most of my time in the field, doing what I can to crush the charr and help Ascalon. Well, for some time now, I've been cultivating a hanging garden on an overlook in the mountains. ....."

2 leads to Tell me more of these items you seek.
3 leads to Let's speed this up, shall we? What exactly do you want?"

the last 2 just gone on to say what he is after again.

After the party leader has completed EOTN or Winter's Day Cheer quest, Lieutenant Thackeray appears in the Hall of Monuments (you must move toward the center a little)

It's not a bug, once you've given him everything he needs, NEXT time you'll zone to him he will give you the last dialogue (most important part, that he needs the girl).

Why would you get more candles anyway!

sometimes you wont get the final dialogue if you have some of the items he might want for the party---I had to remove all my candy canes to get the last dialogue to appear--he kept on doing the sweets one even though I had given him plenty of them--
and my rit had to do the cupcake again, so I think it got bugged somewhere--------

and again on my next char... this ridiculous quest would not give the 'i just need the girl' until u gave 7 items..

gave 4 items , 1 of each type.. no joy..
zoned came back gave 3 items, and the new question appeared WITHOUT having to zone.

Only other thing that changed was to remove 10 lockpicks, 1 x ID Kit and 1 x salvage kit from inventory in between the first 4 and second 3 items

buggy doesnt even come close !

The items that give you Sacks of Random Junk are not needed at all. I completed all the items he wanted (Candles, Drake Kabob, Cupcake, and Cider) without giving him a single other item. He now is gone, and gave me the last dialog of needing the girl.

this is true, the other items are not MEANT to be needed, but this quest is currently suffering a few bugs.

1st try... gave Candles, Hard Apple Cider, Cupcake and Drake Kebab.
Thackery would not continue on

Zoned
vistsed HOM
rebooted
changed secondarys
tried Hardmode
tried Normal Mode
tried with and without heros
visited the shining blade camp
Visted Lions head keep

I am well aware you are meant to give 4 items smile and walk away.. or I wouldn't have posted in the first place that I had a problem.

Also the items that give random sacks of junk now work in place or Bday cupcake, Hard Apple Cider and Drake kabob.

you could give - Candles, truffle, eggnog, creme Brule and it 'should' work

point is it didn't.

I believe this was due to the inventory bug, but in a slightly new way.. even after I emptied inventory, it would progress until a new item was given.

So, I was wondering, I just opened all my parcels and junk and since I saw that Regina was saying to keep the Medals since they'll have meaning later, could the trophy items Thakery gives you mean something later for a trader at an event at some point?

Only because it seems there are only a set amount of things that ranges with the junk. Granted all the options may not have been reported to wiki or anything but...I don't know. I want to save them but then again, they may just be wasted space.

Same here. I initially gave him Dwarven Ale, Candles, Drake Flesh, Cupcake. Got 4 packages (2 nice ones and 2 junk ones). That *should* have been the end of it. Nope.

Went and got a Drake Kabob, another set of candles, and some Rice Wine. He took those. Still didn't advance the quest. Brought him another Dwarven Ale. He finally finished with the "All I need is the girl" dialog.

I didn't have this problem previously with another character.

I finished the Scavanger hunt, got the "All I need is the girl" dialog, but now nothing seems to be happening, Thackery is just... gone, nowhere else I go has any part of the WIK, I don't know what to do next, (this is on my monk, I am completely up to date with my war so I know how it goes) monk just seems stuck, I looked at the flowchart also but after looking in a few different places it made my eyes start to bleed.

In case anyone still wanted to know, he won't take Krytan Lokums or Brandy. Not even an option for either. Not too terribly surprising though I guess.

It seems like I got also bugged >.<. Gave him what he wanted (except Cidar and Kabob, because I can't get them anywhere) but he is still there.

I hope it gets resolved without any problems, if not, he will just stay there forever :P.

Thackeray will stay there after the scavenger hunt until you reach a later point in the WiK process.

The cider and kabob are 2 of the mandatory items to progress the dialogue, he'll never leave until he receives those. Cider you may have to buy off another player, but drake kabobs are available from a collector in Kamadan.

If you enter the Rihlohn Refuge mission and then follow the right hand wall (so the suicidal NPC wont follow you), you can farm the two groups of Drakes fairly readily. You have to bring along Master of Whisperers, so you can just flag him into the group of bugs in your way and run past them. You should get a Chunk of Drake Flesh pretty easily in a run or two (and exchange in Kamadan with the Chef guy for your Kabob).

Hey guys if you dont have the perfect items, THREE of EACH sub items are required before he will give you the notice about getting the girl.

I <3 Wiki!

ie - 3 pumpkin cookies
3 dwarven ales
3 truffles
the candles are the only thing you Have to have.
