Talk:Paper Wrapped Parcel

Need more info on this Omanhunter 12:04, April 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * It looks like this is causing the price of Hard apple cider to rise. I've seen WTS at 1k. Bikeboy854 12:34, April 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well of course it would. There's only a limited supply in-game right now, and no way to get more for another 7 months.  With no guarantee that this scavenger hunt will remain active until then, everyone has to buy from the hoarders now at their exorbitant prices.  IMO, Cider was a pretty stupid choice for him to collect at this time.  If Anet had added some alternative way of obtaining cider, that would've been great.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 13:18, April 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm with you. Storywise the hard apple cider works well, but making it enjoyable to obtain is another matter. I was able to buy a few for normal prices a few days ago. *Whew* I think the rice wine that you can buy from the merchants in Factions would have been a better choice, or making an alternative method of obtaining the apple cider through a collector. (maybe that is on the way.). On a side note, should this "quest" be treated like Zho's journal to obtain the black moa chick in the wiki pages? Since we don't know where this is going yet, it is hard to make a decision, but it seems similar enough. Bikeboy854 22:30, April 5, 2010 (UTC)

Don't open immediately?
I wonder if, in the same vein as the Halloween UW quests where you used the reward from the first quest as part of the second (needed to use tonic to access UW), these Parcels may be best kept unopened for a little while? phineas 18:24, April 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * I highly doubt it. Tonics actually do something by putting a Disguise effect on you, where these just contain stuff.  &mdash;Dr Ishmael Diablo_the_chicken.gif 19:11, April 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * But these are presents... and someone's birthday is approaching. What do you give a person on their birthday? phineas 19:27, April 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * They are wrapped parcels, but I wouldn't count them as presents, and on top of that, this isn't a traditional quest like the Halloween ones that show in your quest window.Bikeboy854 23:58, April 8, 2010 (UTC)

Cupcake? Pie?
It seems odd that this would contain a Birthday Cupcake, considering that's one of the requirements to get a Parcel in the first place. The Slice of Pumpkin Pie also seems anomalous, since all the other items are EotN-related. GWW has a huge drop research table for this, and they don't have either one listed.

Looking at the article history, it seems that I was the one who added them, when I [ copied GWW's list] which, at the time, still listed them. I think we should probably remove them. &mdash;Dr Ishmael 18:41, September 24, 2010 (UTC)
