'''Mardi Gras Throws''' is a Gaga errand that you repeat to collect Mardi Gras Feathers, which you then trade for a mask. It is one of the few event quests that stays repeatable. Two things catch people out: the necklaces only drop once the quest is accepted, and the feather you get is random, not your choice.

== Step by step ==
# Look for the quest light bulb above [[NPC:Gaga|Gaga]]. Talk to him and accept Mardi Gras Throws.
# Kill monsters anywhere. [[Item:Mardi Gras Bead Necklace|Mardi Gras Bead Necklace]] drops from every monster at 5% per kill while the quest is open, which is about 200 kills for the 10 you need. They stop dropping once you hold 10. See [[Event Quest Item Drops]].
# Hand in the 10 necklaces to Gaga. You receive 800 EXP and ''one'' feather.
# Wait 60 minutes, then do it again. The quest becomes available again an hour after you last finished it.
# After Mardi Gras Throws has been completed once, the three mask quests become available (see below). Each one needs 10 feathers of a single colour at hand-in.

== The feather is random ==
Gaga's dialogue and the quest journal say you can have "whichever" feather you like. That is not how it works. Each hand-in gives one feather chosen at random:

{| class="wikitable"
! scope="col" | Feather
! scope="col" | Chance per hand-in
! scope="col" | Runs needed for 10, on average
|-
| [[Item:Green Mardi Gras Feather|Green Mardi Gras Feather]]
| 60%
| about 17
|-
| [[Item:Purple Mardi Gras Feather|Purple Mardi Gras Feather]]
| 30%
| about 33
|-
| [[Item:Red Mardi Gras Feather|Red Mardi Gras Feather]]
| 10%
| about 100
|}

There is no other source of feathers. Because a run can only be done once an hour, a full set of Red feathers is a long project. The feathers are kept in your ETC tab until you need them.

== The mask quests ==
All three are offered by [[NPC:Gaga|Gaga]] with the light bulb, need level 8, and can be done once per character.

{| class="wikitable"
! scope="col" | Quest
! scope="col" | Bring
! scope="col" | Reward
|-
| [[Quest:Mardi Gras Green Masks|Mardi Gras Green Masks]]
| 10 Green Mardi Gras Feathers
| 2,400 EXP and a [[Item:Green Mardi Gras Mask|Green Mardi Gras Mask]] (99%) or the rarer [[Item:Royal Green Mardi Gras Mask|Royal Green Mardi Gras Mask]] (1%)
|-
| [[Quest:Mardi Gras Purple Masks|Mardi Gras Purple Masks]]
| 10 Purple Mardi Gras Feathers
| 4,000 EXP and a [[Item:Purple Mardi Gras Mask|Purple Mardi Gras Mask]] (99%) or a [[Item:Royal Purple Mardi Gras Mask|Royal Purple Mardi Gras Mask]] (1%)
|-
| [[Quest:Mardi Gras Red Masks|Mardi Gras Red Masks]]
| 10 Red Mardi Gras Feathers
| 6,000 EXP and a [[Item:Red Mardi Gras Mask|Red Mardi Gras Mask]] (99%) or a [[Item:Royal Red Mardi Gras Mask|Royal Red Mardi Gras Mask]] (1%)
|}

Gaga says a mask can be worn for 5 days, so wear it when you want it.

== Common problems ==
; "The necklaces do not drop."
: Accept Mardi Gras Throws first. They also stop at 10, so if you already hold 10 you are done hunting.
; "Gaga shows a light bulb but offers nothing."
: Fixed. The light bulb and Gaga's menu now agree. Quests that were repeatable and finished more than an hour ago were being hidden from his menu while the light bulb still showed.
; "The quest does not come back."
: Wait the full 60 minutes after the last hand-in.
; "The dialogue says the event ends in February 2010."
: Ignore the dates in the old dialogue. The quests have no end date here.

{{Changed|In the original game this was a limited-time event, and every mask quest could be repeated. In MapleVerse it is open all year, and only Mardi Gras Throws repeats.}}
