This is becoming more of a scavenger hunt :/

soon we will have to call McGuyver to ask how to cobine 20 bizzare items to create a mini-black-moa

now I'm off to get that fish aswell...

FelixCarter · Aug 27, 2007, 10:24 PM // 22:24

My guess:
Scavenger Hunt quest/game for GW:EN.

Who knows though? At this point, it's all speculation.

You want the CR representative to play the game for you? If you're not interested in solving the mystery yourself, you can always just keep hitting F5 at GuildWiki.

Lol I was going to say the same thing until I saw this post.

I tried taking the egg(hardened and unhardened) rock, nestings mats... back to the moa bird roost where you original got the egg to one of the empty nests but nothing happened.

I'm starting to think that this "herring" is actually a red herring to just completely confuse ppl.

for those who dont know what a red herring is : wiki = A red herring is a metaphor for a diversion or distraction from an original objective.

Hmm, Berries, Eggs, Fish?

Looks like we will... be cooking a meal!
I bet its for Bokka again, that fat... thing.

I guess the volcanic rock could be to cook the food?

But yeah, to be honest, I agree with FelixCarter on it most likely being a scavenger hunt quest in GW:EN.

Either that, or it will be used to make some kind of meal we will feed the Great Destroyer, causing an allergic reaction, ultimately making him vunerable to our attacks. Thats my theory.

natuxatu · Aug 28, 2007, 12:25 AM // 00:25

Wait why do people think the berries are involved? Were they just added and the volcanic rock as well? I thought berries were around before but I could just be mistaken...

edit: it seem to be though the quest will start in GWEN and will probably lead you to the lady in the Gayla Hatchery.

R1p70r · Aug 28, 2007, 12:28 AM // 00:28

Yes, the berries were around before, however they (So far) appear to have no purpose. I guess we are just all being hopefull that we will get a use for all these random items we are being thrown.

Although it is possible they are just there to bring in a little bit of realism (I mean, does EVERYTHING in the real world that you find have an immediate use?), or as a joke to annoy us a little.

1. Gather egg
2. Harden egg
3. Build nest for egg
4. ???
5. Profit!

ropes782 · Aug 28, 2007, 12:45 AM // 00:45

have any rangers out there tried having a black moa as a pet and doing stuff with these items? (doing stuff = trying randrom crap out) like talking to katharine in Gyala or going to the moa nests with your black moa or something random like that.

also, when i was going to get the fish in twin serpents, I ran by this one npc which seems to serve no purpose and calls himself a tracker...has this npc always been there and if so, what he is there for?

ChaoticCoyote · Aug 28, 2007, 12:48 AM // 00:48

Well, I found the herring earlier today, so I've got the hardened egg, nesting material, volcanic rocks, and (of course) the herring.

Don't know if I want to try and get the Juniberries; I hate that quest.

I'm wondering how many more collectors have "new" items? I usually ignore them; looks like I now need to stop and check each one...

EDIT: The Tracker is just another collector. I checked him out before grabbing my fish.

natuxatu · Aug 28, 2007, 12:49 AM // 00:49

you will build a nest but you will need a special moa in eye of the north to hatch it so you have to drop the fish to lure out the special moa to sit on the egg to hatch it. ... or something like that

placebo overdose · Aug 28, 2007, 12:57 AM // 00:57

o have a question should i get all the stuff now will they remove it after we find out what it does

Kelsey Cain · Aug 28, 2007, 01:00 AM // 01:00

What a grin

Stuff like this is what makes mmog's so much fun - I would love to see more unannounced stuff like this added on a regular basis in the future.

That's the best one I've heard so far.

special moa == white moa ?

dsnesnintendo · Aug 28, 2007, 01:27 AM // 01:27

I figured it out
1. Take the hardened egg and volcanic rock to the arid sea
2. grab the ancient weapon and take it to the npc there
3. take the new ancient egg to the chick in the luxon place
6. Brand new Mini Moa Bird

its so simple even a poorly trained charr could figure it out

it was a joke Jesus

Actually the berries are used for a quest at the beginning of factions.

Which quest is this? since you get the berries in Nightfall it doesn't make much sense, unless your thinking about the wrong berries (aka Nong Berries)

I notice you skipped from 3 to 6. Was that intentional, or not? Anyway, that isn't exactly that simple to figure out, though to do seems that way.
