Black Moa Chick

The Black Moa Chick is a green Miniature.

Acquisition
This miniature can only be obtained after completing a cross-campaign scavenger hunt; the character must have access to all campaigns, including the Eye of the North expansion. In brief, you must:


 * 1) Get a copy of Zho's Journal
 * 2) Bring it to Katharine to craft an Incubator Kit
 * 3) Fill the kit with 6 items from across the 3 continents.
 * 4) Take the filled kit to Sorrow's Furnace and allow yourself to be zapped by the Iron Forgeman

Scavenger Details

 * Zho's Journal: provided by Zho in the third round of the Norn Fighting Tournament; customized to each character.
 * Incubator Kit: crafted by Katharine in Gyala Hatchery (explorable area) for 50, 10 , and 5 ; requires bringing the personalized copy of Zho's Journal.
 * Items for the kit:
 * A Hardened Moa Egg, which requires taking a normal Moa Egg and hardening it.
 * Moa Eggs can be found in one of the moa nests south of Fort Ranik in Regent Valley
 * Eggs can be hardened at Mourning Veil Falls, a landmark southwest of Durheim Archives.
 * Nesting Material, from Nuwisha in southern Resplendent Makuun for 5 Skree Wings.
 * A Volcanic Rock, from north-eastern Perdition Rock.
 * A Herring, from Gruhn the Fisher (in western Twin Serpent Lakes), in exchange for 5 Bog Skale Fins (which can be farmed in Tears of the Fallen or Stingray Strand).
 * A Branch of Juni Berries, a reward from the Insatiable Appetite quest in Marga Coast.
 * A Honeycomb, which is most easily obtained as a random drop from a Gift of the Traveler or completing A Hunter's Pride. (There are two other sources.)

Incubator kit operation
To place the items in the incubator, double-click on the incubator to open a small window and drag the item into it. Doing this will remove the item from your inventory. The incubator window will show translucent icons as place holders for the six items, which will be replaced with the opaque icon when each item is added.

Incubation details
Once all six items are placed in the incubator, travel to Sorrow's Furnace with the quest The Final Assault and The Forge Heart active. Fight your way to the central furnace and allow yourself to be hit by Sorrow's Flame, which will hatch the Black Moa Chick (consuming the incubator and its contents). If you are having trouble hatching the chick: check that you were actually hit by Sorrow's Flame and that all items are inside the incubator (and not just in your inventory).

Although the nearby giant furnace also uses Sorrow's Flame (where the Rage Binders are), the Black Moa Chick hatches only if you are covered by the liquid metal poured down by the Iron Forgeman.

Trivia

 * Like the Brown Rabbit and the White Rabbit, this item is not prefixed by the word "Miniature".
 * The Black Moa Chick is the first miniature to have an original model made specifically for it, rather than using a resized model of another NPC.
 * This model is re-used for the young Black Moas in the Zaishen Menagerie Grounds; the other baby moas are shrunken versions of their adult counterparts.
 * Prior to the 2007, September 6th update, you could "trick-trade" the customized Nesting Material.
