Snowman summoners trigger Soul Reaping, and leave unexploitable "corpses" that function for IWAY! and therefore possibly Lamentation or Signet of Sorrow (both untested). |

Thank You for the replies about the finale hat event.
I hope I am able to get them by being AFK. I just hope you don't need to do something to get the hats.

I imagine one person came up with the plan randomly, and everyone just liked the idea.

will there be new hats(not santa hats or horns of grenth) for this years winter finale?

Just want to say thanks to RTS Firebat and any others who contributed to the wintersday guide. It came in very handy, and I'm sure the number of people helped is probably into the hundereds of thousands, so consider that.
Thanks again, and a Happy New Years to all.

Looking at halloween having a different hat, i would guess it will be different.
Looking at the wintersday logo on the guildwars page, the mesmer looks to be wearing a elf hat, so i also imagine it will be one of the hats. Since the tonic that turns you into a avatar for dwayna makes you a elf, it seems likely that if one of them is an elf hat, it will be for the dwayna winning districts.
Can't imagine for grenth, i'd like to think it would be something a bit different to horns, but can't think of a good alternative right now.

I just got a "Stylish Yule Cap" in Lions Arch - it's just like last years Yule Cap, but stands up a little taller. I see the Grenth Horns look more like real reindeer horns now. lol

Of course that is going off of what i have seen in game and talking to others.
Was anyone able to get 2 hats from the first round? I tried district umping but they seem to have all happened at the same time. I didn't try to go to Kamadan though, just stayed in Lions Arch.

I've managed to district hop and grab gifts that fell from the sky(assigned to me), but the high district I'm in now has existed since the start without a visit from the Avatars yet.
/edit Thats cool CrystalMeep. Though I wish they had given LA top hats(real ones,not snow man faces). While I prefer last years Santa hat(which I didn't know to get, was new to the game) I'll settle for this years hats.

The Jester Cap from Kamadan (Grenth winning district) is dyeable.

I'm sure you should have waited too to get more presents - 2 gifts is too low number.

I feel screwed over by anet like with any of these kind of events. The gods come like what, every 3 hours? I can't wait around that long, and then there's even different hats in different towns plus the 3 hour waits. For some people it will be impossible to get all hats. 
And the promised hat storage = the festival hat maker, that's no storage, now I still can't keep around dyed hats.
Other then that, the event has been fun, at least the quests were nice.

If you dont like the events don't take part! If everyone had the same hat it would be boring same as if aevery one had same armour dyed same colours, i dont have factions so will never get a draon mask or similar but thats ok I'm happy with my pumpkin, witch and now santa hat.
The hat crafter is a great idea at least you dont have to be at the event with each of your chracters now.
If you want a dyed hat that bad just dye it again or keep that one safe.
Happy New year!

Thank you ANet for another fun event! Despite any glitches I had a good time and am looking forward to the next few finales to grab myself some more pressies!
I loooove the Freezie hat. It's all :|
HEHEE!!
And the Jester hat is adorable too. I am going to have a lot of fun with these.
Thanks again for putting all of this effort in for us. It's much appreciated, especially around this time of year.
Good luck to those who had problems. Hope you can all make it to one of the finales.

If you time it right you can get all four hats in one swoop. Kamadan Starts 15 minutes after LA. So get in a low district early get that hat. Switch to a higher LA district, nab that hat. Switch to Kamadan in time for the start of the event again. Then switch to a higher district after that to nab the final hat.
I came late in LA so i only nabbed 3of4 hats. And i didnt think about posting my presents results...i picked up about 45 too.

Wow - you guys got this down...I only got 14 presents on the first visit. ;(

Can someone confirm if Grenth LA antlers are the same as last year's ones? Seems to be buggy so the "jump to higher districts" doesn't seem to work too well. Dwayna LA yule cap is different but are the antlers different too or same as last year?
FalconDance
The antlers are MUCH better than last year's. Larger and more like a reindeer's or elk's.
