Hmm maybe you guys have to bring Black Moa and White Moa (with 2 people or maybe 1 with a ranger hero) at level 20 to the nesting place and leave them to do the rest of the job

Maybe drop the eggs there?

damn! I was just going to write the same

I'm off to find the largest tree in Prophecies..."I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok..."

(infused armor needed against the Knights who say Ni)

plus: White moa from GWEN with Black moa from Factions = grey mini moa ? :/

looks like we will have to check all the collectors in all 3 campaigns and then look for the new ones :/

I've had my pet moa since day one of GW, and I wouldn't give him up if they came out with an expansion that let me tame fifty-foot-long dragons.

Giving him up is probably the only thing I wouldn't do to get a cute baby moa.

Luckily, I don't expect this will be a requirement. ^_^

To ease your mind you can have a hero cap a new pet without you having to change anything....

Yep, and I assume that, if necessary, this would work, since I've taken Jin with a black moa to the Sunspear Hall, and people ran from it. (Very funny, by the way.)

Or, as someone else said, just use a different character for the quest. (Assuming they don't decide to customize minis like in the HoH. ^_^)

You know, when I go back to Ascalon, there's still some crazy ranger standing there waiting for me to go bring him a Melandru's Stalker. He's going to be waiting a long, long time. ^_^ It's the only quest in Prophesies my main character hasn't done.

Alas, perhaps murder won't be necessary after all.

I still have that exact quest active too

Many birds do eat rocks to help digest food

Is everyong deciding that we need GW:EN and giving up? I'll still be looking

Well I have not given up yet. I am starting the slow process of checking every collector in prophecies. There are like 144 total so its gonna take awhile.

Melkorium · Aug 28, 2007, 10:05 AM // 10:05

Ok, here's my thoughts. I reckon there'll be 3 types of Moa you can hatch. Normal, Black and another (maybe White) depending on which chapters you own.

People with Proph's can use Egg + Fish + Rock + GWEN Thing = Moa

If you have Factions you can harden the egg and make a Black Moa.

If you have NF you can use nesting material and make another type, possible White.

In this system everyone with Proph can make one, having other chapters still rewards you but you don't NEED all 3 to get a moa. Makes sense since the only place you can get an egg is Proph anyway.

As lot of other people think, GWEN will finish off the puzzle.

If you finish Proph and decide to move on to Factions, I checked all of the Shing Jea explorable area collectors earlier today (with nothing new found).

But would the "Nesting Material" then turn out to be clippings that grow into a shrubbery ???

Check the places where people tend not to go maybe

Anyone checked Dragon's Gullet lately?

Thundro · Aug 28, 2007, 10:36 AM // 10:36

Oke if anyone need hatching, my ranger can help.

Ramina Pilinarauka with a Dire Moa Bird(pre-searing strider)
Acolyte Jin with a Black Moa(Elder)
Margrid The Sly with a White Moa Bird(lvl 14 aggresive)

And I call the Moa Bird "Red Chocobo" guess which names my hero pets would get if possible ^_^

Very close everyone. You are missing one small item from presearing ascalon ...

Drop:
Nest, Hardened Egg, Volcanic Rock, Herring (for baby to snack on), and TAPESTRY SHRED to allow the incubation to proceed.

WTS Mini Black Moa 100k + 250e

Etta · Aug 28, 2007, 11:10 AM // 11:10

Wow this reminded me of that golem armor from Baldur's Gate series. To make that armor you will need a certain item from each of the 3 games. This egg thingy does sound like a fun stuff. Fine the answer people and you shall have youself a cookie.

I just hope golden pants won't be involved...

LOL I still have them somewhere..on yes on a BG chr.

Beat you to it, Etta! Keep the golden pants out of this thread

zwei2stein · Aug 28, 2007, 11:39 AM // 11:39

Did anyone try to dye that Herring Red?

If you are hoping to tie up all the easter eggs inc Gwen's (tapestry) you would need to include broken flute, preserved red iris etc....... I don't think this is likely.

More helpful however is that there is at least one new NPC in Factions: Katharine on top of the shell in Gylaa hatcher (explorable). I found her yesterday and added her to the unofficial wiki. She doesn't offer any quests, no does it look like she is involved in any, but maybe if you give her one of your prepared items she'll "process" it. I kinda doubt it in her case though.

However, I imagine she is not the only new NPC that has been added since the update and one of them might be more likely to help.

Happy hunting!

Haha, I skip some pages so i didnt see that someone already mentioned the golden pants.

Seriously though, there should be more of this easter egg for those who have all 4 chapters. It give you that sense of 1 big world where everything connected.

Good hunting, you guys.

I read this on the official guild wars wiki

"Readed this @ guru

Can anyone confirm this?

I've been meaning to pick up a Tapestry Shred, so why not.

Also, just finished looking through the factions collectors, didn't see anything new.
