Requirements?
To be able to get the quest from Thakery, I had to listen to the first 3 dialogues between him and Gwen, should this be noted? Ilyana :D 21:44, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Something should be noted, as i can not get the quest from him, he does not appear for dialogue in HoM, and i have no idea where and how, what to do to get it.
 * "You may need to view up to 5(?) dialogues between Gwen and Keiran before the quest properly activates. These all take place in the Hall of Monuments." <--- ???  My character I'm on now can get this quest and still hasn't finished EoTN? 203.118.165.186 05:17, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I made the note. I've finished all the campaigns and EOTN years ago, but had done zero War in Kryta stuff; today was actually my first time starting it. Keiran had some generic "let me tell you about the vanguard" dialogue options outside the Eye. I had to zone in and out of the Hall 5 or 6 times (it was more than 4, I know); the first dialogue ended with Gwen saying "gods save me from handsome fools" or somesuch, and seemed to be their first(?) meeting. I don't know if people typically see these in a more timely fashion or what, maybe I'd built up a backlog, but I had to clear all of these before the picnic dialogue came up and allowed the quest to progress. Also, Keiran didn't seem to pop in the Hall until I walked down to Gwen, though that could just be my imagination/poor attention to detal.--nunix
 * I doubt dialogue is a requirement at all, or if it is, it is currently bugged. My ele has not completed Eye of the North, is pre-Great Dwarf at the moment, and hasn't done any of the Wintersday quests, yet Keiran appears outside of the Eye of the North with this quest.  000.00.00.00  05:26, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, I have a better idea of what's going on. It does look like a bug; I've skipped "A Good Deed" completely. I was never able to actually take this quest. Instead, I watched my series of dialogues, and now the "Complete the quest 'A Good Deed'" requirement in my quest log is struck out, as is "Speak with Gwen in the Hall of Monuments". So I'm progressing along Ebon Vanguard Allies just fine, it seems, and am off to collect picnic supplies, though I've missed out on a bit of content; either that, or there are two versions of "A Good Deed" or.. something. Mystifying! --nunix
 * If you did Wintersday Cheer, you had no need to do this quest, as it's basically the same thing (just a non-wintersday version). Stumme said that this quest is meant to replace Wintersday Cheer, meaning that the other quest probably won't be returning. -- Konig / talk 22:20, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Finished WiK on main account with no problems. My toon on my second account has unlocked the LA keep by doing Zinn's Task and listening to Dialog 4 at the Shining Blade Camp, according to the flowchart. She has not done the Wintersday Cheer stuff. After the last update she noticed Murro in LA and got the War in Krtya Primary quest from him. Since she had found the Shining Blade Camp, and she witnessed the Asuran delegation there, the first two parts are done, but she can't do the third part part, Ebon Vanguard Allies, because Thackeray won't appear outside EotN to give her this quest. She probably did something in the wrong order or something, but wouldn't this have precluded her from unlocking the Keep? So she could get the daily bounty, but not the big three that you start off with. Any clues? Fantaghiro 10:22, 20 November 2010 (UTC) What the requirement is, is unknown. But it's most likely having completed the Vanguard segment. Someone above said that they got to the Great Dwarf bit in EN, but not completed it, and that bit is after the Vanguard segment, hence why I think it's the Vanguard segment. -- Konig / talk 11:27, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Technically, there are no quests before A Good Deed because A Good Deed acts as a replacement for Wintersday Cheer - i.e., it's Keiran's new introduction. It's the first time Keiran and Gwen meets, so there cannot be any dialogues between the two prior. As for the note on finishing EN - I think it's just needing to have done the Ebon Vanguard quest. (In regards to the unsigned above 0's, probably did the Wintersday Cheer and it bugged). @Fantaghiro: The flowchart is now out of date. -- Konig / talk 10:38, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
 * The only requirements listed for this quest is that Wintersday Cheer has not been done. My toon has not done Wintersday Cheer, but Thackeray doesn't appear so it seems something more is required. If the Ebon Vanguard main quest is required to be completed in order to activate this quest (my toon has not done this), maybe the requirements need to be updated. Fantaghiro 10:45, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
 * It would make sense since WiK involves Captain Langmar. So it makes sense needing to have rescued her.--Fogeltje 11:15, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Fantaghiro: Firstly, section stub is there for a reason. Secondly, as per my edit summary which added that: "Major cleaning up. There's a requirement, as it doesn't show for me (haven't done Wintersday Cheer either). I think completion of Eye of the North or the Vanguard segment. Dialogue note is wrong."
 * I didn't need to listen to any dialogues between gwen and thackeray to get this quest. I just went to the camp, then watched Zinn's Trial, then went to camp again and then went to ice cliff chasms and there Thackeray offered me this quest. I never went into HoM so I didn't listen to any dialogues. -[[Image:User Tulen elementti sig.jpg]] Tulen elementti (talk) 14:33, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
 * You likely completed EotN on that character, though. I haven't yet, and the bug is still happening to me. Ifm2181 16:12, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
 * i bypassed the chat in HoM as well, i wasnt getting any visits from thackery so i completed the vanguard part of the eotn storyline now hes outside the eye giving questSpark-TBa 00:09, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the help with getting this done. Yes, after my toon did the Missing Vanguard quest chain, Thackery appeared and the story proceeded. :thumbsup: Fantaghiro 09:36, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

The requirements for obtaining this quest do need to be expanded. I am attempting to bring some other characters through EotN and WiK, and Thackeray did not appear outside of the EotN until I had completed the three Wintersday quests, which then allowed me to witness the Picnic Dialogue between Gwen and Keiran in the HoM. The two characters did not witness any of the previous dialogues between those two, nor have they completed any of the EotN storylines. Once Thackeray appeared outside of the EotN, he only offered his Scavenger Hunt and not the Good Deed quest.HanokOdbrook 18:38, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
 * As a follow-up, I checked my The War in Kryta and Ebon Vanguard Allies quests, both before and after doing Snowball Dominance and talking to Thackeray for the initial Scavenger Hunt Dialogue, and noticed that the EVA originally had me needing to complete the Good Deed quest, to showing it is now completed and I need to Assist Keiran with his ill-fated plan.

Farm?
As I see that there are alot of creatures from Uw, do they drop any ectos? And could this be a good farming spot?Aerials93 12:09, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Don't have to do this...
If you have already witnessed the Picnic Dialogue, plus if your still willing to sit through say 5 Dialogues then you can just go straight to the scavenger hunt afterwards. -- Find And Seek  03:33, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Reward
should it be noted that you do get 5k exp, 500 vanguard points, and 500g gold? • • • Ganon  04:09, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh nvm i didnt read close enough! • • • Ganon  04:10, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Wintersday 2010
Now that Wintersday is here again... is this quest actually in the game? Casey skips straight from Charr-broiled Plans to Snowball Dominance, and Thackeray is nowhere in sight. Wintersday Cheer is not given by anyone, obviously. 71.89.5.181 22:39, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm doing the quest right now. I haven't done WiK on this character yet, if that counts for anything. I saw two Lieutenant Thackerays right outside EotN... Er, this is Vhid, but I can't remember my password. 97.85.81.141 05:48, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Walkthrough
is kind of bad. People come here for tactics (for, say, defending the Norn), not a more wordy reiteration of the quest's tasks.

Links
I moved the page to the quest's actual name, which has a period at the end, but I'm hesitant to change the links because having a single period before another punctuation mark is all kinds of ugly. Any thoughts? --Irgendwer 15:52, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

scratched off
Something is wrong. One of my toon's has this quest scratched off but he hasn't even started the ebon vanguard quest line and has not done the old Wintersday quest. So he's cheated out of the vanguard points for this quest :( Its skipping that toon right to scavenger hunt. Ramei Arashi 22:28, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Same thing here. We started "The War in Kryta" four people last night and "A Good Deed." was automatically skipped for all of us. All four chars are created during 2010, so it can't have anything to do with "A Wintersday Cheer". --Manassas  [[File: User Manassas Mannysig.png]] 12:46, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Bug? Lefsi Spiritchaser
If mister Lefsi Spiritchaser dies, but your party survives and kills off everything the quest will still continue spawning Sarah. She will just start talking in mid air. It will not compleet the quest. Demonic Cobra    23:18, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Section
Is Festival Event Quests not Far Siverpeaks, as listed on the page. 178.22.219.226 17:28, 10 February 2011 (UTC)


 * A Good Deed is not an event quest. It gets listed under Far Shiverpeaks (as opposed to Wintersday Cheer, which gets listed under Festival Event quests). — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 17:44, 10 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Incorrect, I have it on one of my characters right now and it is listed under festival quests in the quest log. And I only took it a few hours ago not during an event. Unless it is a specific bug, I could make screen shots to prove, but then again anyone can take the quest and see.


 * Interesting. Please do take the screenshots and report it as a bug. It would be also helpful if you could show whether you have one of the umbrella quests active, e.g. Ebon Vanguard Allies and/or The War in Kryta. Nice job spotting the discrepancy. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 20:08, 10 February 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't know where one is supposed to report bugs, but anyway here is the screenshot: http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af274/miloso/gw848.jpg?t=1297369980   You can see I have The Battle for Lion's Arch active in quest log too, I didn't complete it and I got there the old fashioned way, meaning without TWiK quest, which I never picked up. 178.22.219.226 20:41, 10 February 2011 (UTC)


 * You can email support or use the quest bug report page (which does not require having a wiki account). Thanks for publishing here. (ANet doesn't respond to reports usually, here or via email, but they do read them...and stuff does get fixed as a result.) — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 21:04, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
