anyone have a SS for the location of the Volcanic Rocks?

bloodvayne · Aug 27, 2007, 03:54 PM // 15:54

Maybe there will be some GWEN items that need to be factored in, even some from areas that weren't available during the event?

- Elona: Nest
- EotN: ???

Hahaha, I will soooo mass produce Mini Moa's the whole day to fill up my Hall of Monuments with Pig's and Moa's

I think we're off on the wrong track here with the volcanic rock, we already have an item from Prophecies but that's not saying we need more then one item. I would like to think we will find something in eye of the north. Sugestions have been made about having an evolved Moa pet so....... perhaps we need an evolved Moa from EOTN ( white moa ) for the nesting material / egg and then see what happens from there.

This is why I enjoy GW so much, there's always these little things that keep you roaming around and thinking. Designers also don't have the final say in what goes into the game and this could be a broken quest as well, but with three things already in each chapter save EOTN I'm thinking this may actually lead to something.

Eggs and moas in Prophecies
hardened / enchanting it in factions
nesting material in Nightfall

This would leave one chapter folks have to figure out yet.

Will Gaile check this thread? At least tell us to do not waste any time if the egg won't hatch to anything.

makosi · Aug 27, 2007, 04:37 PM // 16:37

Prophecies: Egg + Volcanic rock. The volcanic rock makes sense because eggs require incubation [heat] which is why birds sit on them.

Factions: Harden the eggs in Mourning Veil Falls. Eggs harden as they mature. Don't they?

Nightfall: 5 Skree wings give nesting material. Juni Berries from a quest presumable for feeding the hatchlings.

But what do we do now with the items right now? Do we have to find a tree to make a nest (Echoval forest maybe? Factions only has one point of interest right now compares to Prophecies and Nightfall. Maybe not a tree though because Moas are flightless. I tried taking all items to the nest at Fort Ranik but nothing happened there.

On second thoughts, what about Gyala Hatchery? I'll investigate...

That NPC [http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Katharine ] was added in the preview weekend's patch in Gyala.

Conclusion: She was 'a little busy at the moment'.

Lord Feathers · Aug 27, 2007, 04:52 PM // 16:52

Well if you incubate an egg ( i.e. sitting on it with a moa ) why would you need a pet in the first place ? If the rock is the answer then the guess on the Moa would be wrong as the rock is what we need for incubation and that would make sense if we do this ourselves.

On a side note about eggs - I actually raise quail and pheasants and if you harden an egg you can kiss that little chick good-bye. If shells are too hard they can't break out, if they are too soft they are turned into rubber and the chicks can't break out. The hardening of that egg as it's been called I'd think to think more in the direction of enchanting it if you read the description after it was immersed in the water.

has anyone tried giving the stuff to Gwen?

And on a side note I hate those freaking Stormclouds.......They spam the crap out of Mind Shock and Mystic Shriek....tore up up my Dervish and my Monk.

Zappa · Aug 27, 2007, 05:11 PM // 17:11

LOL!

Come on, guys. Don't you all know what this means? HELLO??!! Deja vu?
Finding random mysterious items scattered around, with no apparent use, yet, with an obvious description?

Still don't know what will become of this?...

Ohhhkayy then, my guess is that A.Net will let the "mysterious rumours" run around for some time, and then announce that if you want to know what to do with it, or what it means, you will have to buy 'x'€/$ worth of crap from their online store.

They did that with little Gwen, didn't they?

Hey, you know what? ME TOO!! Or, at least I did... until the moment they used our curiosity to make money.

And they ruined it all.

Here is my little contribution to the skree wing farm question...

The best I could find so far is this:

Thiark Orchard - Exit Forum Highlands to the south

The green dots are groups of 5 Harpies without healers (Griffins) the blue ones have a griffin with them (very very bad for farming).

I solo the run in hard mode with the 330 HP Rit build by ReZDoGG
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10175262

(the scourge healing there was a helpless try to get rid of the Griffins, which didn't work)

I average one wing per run (takes about 8 min).
It is a bit tricky though because of the interrupts and I recommend a bit of training with that build to make it work.

After i killed the first group I run past the second one, which actives the res shrine a bit further down the road, and die.

Hope this helps... Still looking for better farms.

If you have a friend that can run a 600/smite team with you this might be even faster and you also might kill the Griffins - bring frozen soil ... they use renew life.

Cheers,
Timebandit

I'd have to say that no matter what you try the 'final' trigger will be GWEN related so you'll just have to wait....

Master Mxyzptlk · Aug 27, 2007, 05:22 PM // 17:22

Has anyone tried farming tihark orchard mission for skree wings? Don't know how successful that will be, but its a thought

Another good spot is Resplendent Makuun. Leave from Yahnur Market and just head east. There're a half dozen monkless groups, then a few more groups, some with some without

tmakinen · Aug 27, 2007, 06:43 PM // 18:43

Concerning Skee Wing farming, there's a quest, 'Desperate Measures', that will spawn an army of skree. Exit Tihark Orchard to the East, go a little way towards the Bazaar to find the quest giver NPC. Make an u-turn and head for the hills. The best part is that the skree and hekets are busy fighting each other so just bring a MM or two, there's enough fresh bodies to raise your own army and let feathers fly. There's also a paragon skree boss that can be used to cap "Incoming!"

lugh lamfhada · Aug 27, 2007, 07:13 PM // 19:13

I just went out with H&H to Forum highlands...3 quick trips and got 6 wings...

I have word form a guild member (unconfirmed) that there is a trader in Twin Serpent Lakes that will give you a fish with no apparent use

Protoform X · Aug 27, 2007, 09:38 PM // 21:38

I can confirm JeniM's post about the fish.

Leave from the Riverside Province exit, stick to the left, you'll see a Bog Scale Fin Collector on the U map. Gruhn the Fisher, she will give you a Herring for 5 Bog Scale Fins. There's nothing in the description, so who knows...

captain_carter · Aug 27, 2007, 09:44 PM // 21:44

perhaps baby moa birds like herring with juni berries...

Chronos the Defiler · Aug 27, 2007, 09:54 PM // 21:54

sounds delicious, now that the fish is revealed, i have one more item to add to my collection. they should have added these before i did Cartographer -.-

Or perhaps it's just a Red Herring that has nothing to do with the moa egg.

(Sorry, couldn't resist)
