:o) Complete Guide to the 2007 Cantha New Year Event :o)

Does anyone else notice that heroes don't seem to receive any XP for these quests?

The five quests give a combined 22K, and I would think that a 12th level Koss (on a 20th level toon) would at least get one level... Alas, it seems not!

The tokens dropped a lot for me o.o Got like 3 within 10 minutes when out in the Jade Sea with my boyfriend and his heroes :O He got like 2. And I also got 23 scales from the rockhide dragon but that's besides the point >_>

i do miss there not being any alcohol u-u No Sake? u-u How can you celebrate the new year without Sake?!

Where does one acquire one of those red gift bags? o.O

ooo

how you gain them?

ya they do that.

no that's always been there (Sulmeng's staff)

WOOOO GOO BANJO TEH CLOWN! www.giantitp.com FTW!

I got mine from playing rock paper scissors from the NPC in LA. Oh btw, they only give 1 point towards sweet tooth

Pah Pel droped Cho Wei's axe for me lol

I have confirmed. Siege Ice Golems no longer drop stone summit badges, they drop Icy Lodestones....

I was farming for badge too -.o

Great helpful guide, thanks!

I was playing RPS in LA just now, and this warrior kept saying what to put. He was always right. Anyone know how to tell what he's going to pick?

The Icy Lodestones are available in the South Shiverpeaks from Siege Ice Golems. They are dropping these instead of their usual Stone Summit Badges. I figured I'd post a pic cause I know some don't believe til they see it. This was in Grenths Footprint right outside Deldrimor Warcamp.

Hmmmmm, what does Lucky Aura do?

The increased rare drop from chest seems nice, IF ANET DIDNT KILL ALL DOA CHESTS.

Some are from Ralph Wiggum. Several are from the movie, Ghostbusters, and several are from the movie, Army of Darkness...a couple from The Excorcist, at least one from Resident Evil...Poltergeist....some I don't know.

I do love me some Ralph Wiggum, Army of Darkness, and Ghostbusters. Nice quotes, devs. Would have like to have seen, "lady, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to ask you to leave the store" or "good...bad...I'm the guy with the gun."

Regarding with Skullcrasher said, he is both right and wrong. There are both dragon heads and lion heads. It was believed that a very long time ago in China's warring era, one army was fighting a losing battle against its stronger opponent country. However, they were aware that their enemies feared the lion which resided within the forest they were battling in. As a result, a few of the bravest man volunteered themselves to hunt these lions. The result was that the losing army donned the skins of these lions and together with the heads, managed to scare and defeat their enemy despite being outmatched. As such, modern Chinese societies celebrate the Lunar Spring Festival by getting lion-dances. Traditionally, such lion dances are also performed during the opening of shops/business ventures whom people believe would be a good start.

As for the dragon, the Chinese believe that the dragon is a symbol of prosperity amongst numerous other good things. (The Chinese see the dragon as a majestic beast which represents good, unlike its Western counterpart which often represents destruction). As such, the dragon-dance is occasionally performed (albeit during bigger occasions) and is usually seen to chase a golden ball which represents all the good things.

Anyone, anyone?

I was just looking through Anet's listing of items and I realized I hadn't seen any red gift bags anywhere. Am I missing something somewhere or have they just not be added yet?

Hmm... Death Runed Necro + Statue of Grenth + Ghail/Bortak set + Lunar Blessing = lvl 30/31 Flesh Golem?

I'm curious why more theories aren't on that list too, since there is no evidence. For example I'm sure many players would like to know if Lucky Aura can increase Ecto drops. Might as well put that on the list of theories too, since with no evidence anyone's guess is as good as every other guess.

Anet really should confirm what it does, specifically so as to nip false rumor chaos in the bud.
