The Black Moa Chick is a green Miniature.

[edit] Acquisition

This miniature can only be obtained via a cross-campaign scavenger hunt. Access to all three campaigns and the expansion is required.

Your clues are all located in Zho's Journal, obtained from defeating Zho in the Norn Fighting Tournament.

In order to save space, (and you'll need it eventually) you need to bring 50 , 10 , and 5 to Katharine in Gyala Hatchery (explorable area) to make the Incubator Kit. Be aware that you will also need to be carrying your own copy of Zho's Journal for Katharine to talk to you.

[edit] Incubator Items

The following items must be collected and placed in the incubator (except for the Nesting Material, these items do not have to be personally collected by the character with the incubator).

• A Hardened Moa Egg, first find a normal Moa Egg in one of the nests south of Fort Ranik ^(Prophecies), then bring it to Mourning Veil Falls ^(Factions) on the "Mourning Veil Falls" interactive point southwest of Durheim Archives.
• Nesting Material from Nuwisha in southern Resplendent Makuun^(Nightfall) for 5 Skree Wings.
• A Volcanic Rock from northeastern Perdition Rock^(Prophecies).
• A Herring from Gruhn the Fisher in western Twin Serpent Lakes for 5 Bog Skale Fins^(Prophecies) it is recommended that you farm the scales in the area next to it for there is an abundance of bog skales there.
• A Branch of Juni Berries from feeding Toma out in Marga Coast^(Nightfall) with the Insatiable Appetite quest.
• A Honeycomb, a quest reward from the Eye of the North quest, A Hunter's Pride or from the collector Galton Franks in Sacnoth Valley for 8 Stone Grawl Necklaces.

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 placeholders for the six items, which will be replaced with the opaque icon when each item is added.

Once all six items are placed in the incubator, travel to Sorrow's Furnace with the quest The Final Assault 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 (the incubator and all the components will be consumed). If you are having trouble hatching the chick, first make sure that the Sorrow's Flame icon is showing in your damage monitor area. If you were hit by Sorrow's Flame, check to make sure all the items are actually in the incubator (not in your inventory!) and try again.

Although Sorrow's Flame is also dealt by the giant furnace near the Iron Forgeman's lair (where the Rage Binders are), to hatch the Black Moa Chick, it is necessary to stand in the liquid metal poured down by the Iron Forgeman.

[edit] Notes

• You do not need to take Zho's Journal into Sorrow's Furnace with you (the Journal becomes redundant once you have acquired the Incubator Kit).
• As of the September 6th update, it is no longer possible to "trick-trade" the customized nesting material.
• The Black Moa Chick can only be acquired once per character.

[edit] Trivia

• Unlike most other miniatures this item is not prefixed by the word Miniature, likely because it appears to be the actual size of a Black Moa's offspring.
• 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.
