Talk:2009 and 2010 Thanksgiving event

Proof, once again? Who continues to create this page, when Jagex has not posted any news on the front page? Also, if it is true, images?
 * Right, as the creator of this page, I'll confirm this (sorta). Just go to the Lumbridge Castle basement and you'll see the Holiday event icon. Why Jagex has not announced this on the front page is beyond me, but you can go ahead and see for yourself. 11:23, November 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * It is on the knowledge base now. 11:25, November 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * This is rather bizarre. They release the event without any announcement on the main page, and now they're going to release the "other part" later in the week...? 01:17, November 24, 2009 (UTC)

More content to the event?
Mod Nexus stated in response to many outraged comments of players on the forums that "There will be more info on Thanksgiving later this week and a fairly substantial update next week". More info suggests that there is more to the Thanksgiving just that the information has yet to be found. Does this suggest that there is more content than simply just killing the turkeys in the field? -Mr KindHeart 11:47, November 23, 2009 (UTC)


 * I hope so. I wanted to pick up my Raw Turkey but the Cook's Brother wouldn't let me, stating "We'll worry about that later", which naturally means "Leave it, you're not coming back for it." 12:03, November 23, 2009 (UTC)


 * Okay, so it's been confirmed multiple times by Mod Nexus and Mod Emilee on the forums that there *is* more content it just hasn't been released yet - so I wouldn't despair just yet. Mr KindHeart 12:40, November 23, 2009 (UTC)


 * Lol whats it going to be this time? Zombie turkeys looking for revenge? I was rather disaponted from this event, the only thing I got was a emote??!! (Wow I get to turn into a turkey big deal). And the overall quest really dosen't have any special about it, like Kindheart said "Just killing turkeys in a field"The Halloween quest is way better and actully kept me entertained. I'd really like to see what part 2 has in stored.

Mod Emilee said on the original forum topic that there will be more content later in the week (Thursday or Friday)--  Dmck2b   18:20, November 25, 2009 (UTC)

thanksgiving 2009
wonder what part 2 will be


 * A quest. Follow the link on the article. 13:25, November 23, 2009 (UTC)

Hey guys, look at this thread. Not sure if he's telling the truth, but I'm reaaaally curious. 15:04, November 23, 2009 (UTC)


 * I think he just wants some attention. I have read the entire thread, and he never really convinced me that he was even serious. 18:51, November 23, 2009 (UTC)


 * Ditto, it's been confirmed it's a pack of lies. Mod Emilee locked the thread:

"Porky pies!

You'll get a pimple on your tongue if you carry on fibbing. :P


 * Locks the thread as it contains false information*"

Semi-protection
Can we get some semi-protection on this article? It keeps getting vandalised by unregisterd users. 19:51, November 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * Since it is a new event, it tends to get alot of attention. However, we should allow anyone to edit since there is a bunch of new information out there. ‎[[Image:Keg_of_beer.png|20px‎]]Atlandy[[Image:Beer.gif|25px]]


 * Fair enough. 20:12, November 23, 2009 (UTC)

Thanksgiving Event Part 2
I think the items for the second part of the thanksgiving event are: 3 ropes, 2 buckets, and 5 UNTANNED cowhides. With those in your inventory speak to Lactopher, he can be found near Lumridge Castle, the the east. Thanks, Ancient Blades 14:16, November 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually I think its 3 shrimps. Not very sure about the other 2 though. -- 14:17, November 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Heh, actually you're both mistaken here... 14:29, November 26, 2009 (UTC)

It is five bananas...

actually I have just done the 2nd part and I can confirm it is 2 buckets of milk, 7 bait, 227gp and 4 hammers, I can sort see the clue items hints but they're not exactly clear and as for the numbers, no idea, it's stupid, Prime

Releasing solutions
''PS: Please don't post spoilers or solutions on the forums - make sure everyone has the fun of solving these puzzles. If you're stuck, check out our help session information here: Clue Fest Support Group.''

Jagex Mods have requested that players let others have the fun of figuring out the clues themselves rather than spoil it for them by giving them the solutions. Now I know that we are not Jagex, but I'm not entirely opposed to the idea of not releasing the solutions on the article. I've already solved the clue for today myself, and think the event would be more enjoyable if the players figured it out themselves, what do you guys think? 14:21, November 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * What was the reward? -- 14:23, November 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * No reward yet, just the whereabouts of the next person you need to talk to. 14:28, November 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Awww. Hopefully when I come back tomorrow the walkthrough will been posted ^^ -- 14:29, November 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Eh? Did you read what I posted up there? 14:30, November 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Reward is magnifying glass, someone reverted the edit and deleted page for no reason, wtf.
 * the event is not even halfway over how do you know the reward. sounds like someone made it up. 15:25, November 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * The Magnifying glass is the item. You can see by checking your Costume Room. http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/9653/magnifyingglass.png --BreakIt 17:33, November 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * You can also use quickchat to find the item.--BreakIt 18:07, November 26, 2009 (UTC)

Help!
I have all items but that Lachopter don't talk me! I need help
 * check and make sure you have them all 15:51, November 26, 2009 (UTC)

Thank you.

Joly Boar Inn
Where is it ? I've never heard off it. or seen it. A 2002 16:32, November 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * The Jolly Boar Inn can be found north of Varrock, near the Wilderness Ditch. 16:40, November 26, 2009 (UTC)

Varrock Sewers
I walk the Varrock Sewers but i not found different.


 * The event is nowhere near the Varrock Sewers... 17:15, November 26, 2009 (UTC)

Layout Modifcation
I took a bit of time to remake the layout and add the community events that Jagex has going on. This might have interfered with other edits prior to me adding it, because it took about 30 minutes to compile everything. Bowler225 17:00, November 26, 2009 (UTC)


 * Who removed the layout? Bowler225 17:05, November 26, 2009 (UTC) EDIT: Nevermind, found out who.

Cryptic Clue Fest
Every day, from this Thursday until next Sunday, two new clues will be released

ok..why 2? guz..Lachtopher allready thold NPC clue.

i am just wondering.

Second clue items
1) 2 buckets of milk 2) 7 fishing bait 3) 227 coins 4) 4 hammers

where do you get the clue
where are the items clues, the npc clue is given you by the lachtoper but where do you get the item clues

Trivia Contradiction

 * 1) The highest hit is 199 and cannot exceed this, no matter how much strength boosting items are used. All players, regardless of their combat level or worn equipment, have the potential to hit 199.
 * 2) Void Knight armor allows the player to hit over 200 damage with the boost it gives.

which one is true? Axearmour1 01:56, November 27, 2009 (UTC)

I believe that 199 is indeed the max...--Br3tt0wnz 00:13, November 28, 2009 (UTC)

Another thing
There must not be any other things in your inventory or he won't respond the way he should... --Scykei 04:25, November 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * No, I had all the things plus 2800+ coins in my inventory and he still responded correctly. -- 04:35, November 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, you just have to have the exact amount of the required items. I had 3 buckets by accident. --Scykei 04:52, November 27, 2009 (UTC)

Does anyone understand which items are needed for the second day (for those who dont know, go to the thread, look at the new note, and highlight the post, and it will tell you a riddle) I have the 227 coins, the 7 feathers, the 4 hammers, but im not sure which Cake ingrediant would be in a bucket (already tried water) HELP!!!
 * You need 7 fishing baits, not feathers. Also you need 2 buckets of milk.

Monster examine picture
Can someone retake the monster examine pic before the event leaves? I'd do it myself but I don't have access to the Lunar Spellbook. 06:24, November 27, 2009 (UTC)

November 27th Items Required
To reveal what items are required on November 27th, use your mouse and highlight all of today's clue on the RuneScape Forum Thread... between the lines you will find clues for the number and type of items. 15:00, November 27, 2009 (UTC) What is the item for the cake thing?

Can somone upload a picture of the clues in forums with the text highlighted on this wiki page? [ like the manuscript for first clue]Zazzyo 15:09, November 27, 2009 (UTC)

The text is following:

For this clue, you will need to have a great deal of insight, for there are many things in this world that are not always as they appear. Can you rise to the challenge?

When baking a cake, there’s a bucket of one ingredient you’ll need. Carry two of these.

It is a world full of mystery and magic, after all. You may need to cast your lines to the farthest reaches of Gielinor in order to obtain all you need.

You’d never catch Herring with empty line, so carry seven of this item to catch your contact.

Lumbridge, Draynor, Falador, Varrock, Edgeville, Al-Kharid; who knows where your adventures will take you? What treasures you will discover!

Ever heard of Roman numerals? You’ll need to carry CCXXVII gold coins!

I’m afraid I’ve told you all I can – you must now strike while the iron is hot! With wisdom comes the ability to read between the lines, so don’t let us down!

The final item is a tool used in creating your dwellings and protecting your body from attack. Hit the nail on the head with four of these.

Good luck!

Items needed: 2x bucket of milk 7x fishing bait 227 gp and 4 hammers

required items
Its all well and good not to spoil things or make them too easy, but for people like me, whos first language is not English, cryptics are very hard.

Like yesterdays, Id never heard of ice on a cake.

Maybe people can post the solutions on the talk page? That way one would have to make some extra effort to get the answer, and it makes it less likely for people who dont want to know, to accidentally read it.

Thanks for the highlight tip, btw, because Id have never found that out on my own, cause the clue didnt mean anything to me.

Removing "Construction" banner
While I think there is a time and a place for the construction banner, I think it is time to remove it on this page.

Mostly, I see this banner on a page as a way for an editor to say to others "stay out of my way.... I'm in the middle of a huge update of this content and wait until I'm done before you start to fix things here". If you are busying doing some major revisions and are saving content in stages, this is a good thing to put up. As an act to simply to exclaim that the article is incomplete and that others can and should help to contribute to the article: mark it as a stub.

If somebody is genuinely in the middle of posting a huge update of content here, go ahead, keep it until you are pretty much done for the day. Still, make sure you take the banner off if you are done and would be willing to let others come in and proof-read, add more content, and generally get others to help. This isn't to say others can't make minor edits, but as a matter of courtesy we can do better than simply saying something is under continuous "construction" all of the time. More to the point, don't abuse this important tool as I believe has been done on this page. --Robert Horning 23:45, November 27, 2009 (UTC)

November 28th Clues
Why does the November 27th Cryptic Clue Fest say TBA and gives no answers but when you go to edit the page it has the answers there??? I mean I already figured them out, and I edited it for a typo, and there it pops up! You save the page, and it appears, but later it is gone again! It's weird...--Br3tt0wnz 00:08, November 28, 2009 (UTC)

Cryptic clue != thanksgiving event
Why is the cryptic clue thing on the thanksgiving event page. It's got nothing to do with thanksgiving other to do with 1. it was released alongside with the newspost with the thanksgiving event 2. it was released on thanksgiving. If you read the newspost it says Thanksgiving turkeys AND Community event. That means that there are TWO seperate things going on... Hmm, that is true. Not once do they say that the Cryptic thing is a part of Thanksgiving on the thread. The page probably will need to be split. 02:30, November 28, 2009 (UTC)
