T_T Please Anet. Divulge the information about the final details of the events.

Why am i killing myself trying to get smokey remains from the 6 nightmare that spawn in Ring of Fire and ebon spider webs from lava spitters? x_x

How can those players who only have chapter 2 possibly farm for items that only exist in chapter 1 and players who own chapter 1 are having difficulty collecting already?!

What happens if the chefs fail?

At least we knew in advance about the 250 jade orb thingys....this one is just vague and confusing.

I wanna go to bed cause i have a huge headache, but instead im farming and i dont even know why.

Agreed. Unexplained possibly time sensitive things such as this are very annoying. And while you're at it, care to explain "Lucky Aura" too? Or do you guys get some sadistic pleasure out of keeping people in the dark?

I agree too. I want to know if it's worth the time that I'm wasting farming for this stuff.

this is just a shot in the dark but
last festival there were 4 hats
so maybe and like i said this is just a guess each meal would be a different hat?

How would a player who only owns Guild Wars Factions be able to get the the items that only comes from the Shiverpeaks, Ring of Fire or Maguuma Jungle?

This finale is in CANTHA, but the recipes call for some really hard to get stuff in TYRIA. Why is that?

If the recipes are a REQUIREMENT for the mask, then you're seriously RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOed if you dont have prophecies cause youd have to rely on other players for collector items.

Because every serious Guild Wars player has all 3 campaigns.

What? It's true.

Seriously.If these items are required for the hat,Eff that,I especially find it incredibly Rawful that one of the items required for a dish is an Icy Lodestone,which is only dropped in Pre-searing.

actually they changed Siege Ice Golems in the shiverpeaks to drop Icy Lodestones instead of Stone SUmmit Badges.

They did?

Surprise surprise,Anet doesn't even list that change on their Game Updates page.

I doubt the hat has any requirement other than attending on the hat day, just like the other hats. Events would not be nearly so popular if Anet started setting the bar to get hats even a little bit high, so they probably won't do that.

Therefore I'm guessing that all those who are farming chef menu items are going to find their time was not well spent due to the insignificant rewards they end up getting for all that time. If one really wants to make meals it would be faster to just farm Ectos then sell them, then buy the ingredients from other players instead of farming them for one's self.

I agree about how VAGUE this is, if there is a link to a non-expendable item from the event through this, Anet should really let us know, this way we aren't running around looking for these useless items for something that can be just used up for a spark effect or two...

Come on Anet, let us know..

Anet does stupid things sometimes, but they're not going to give us lunar tokens, several ways to spend them and not tell us that they will be needed in order to get the masks. If we needed them for the masks, they would have either specified so we could save them, or they wouldn't have added other features in which to exchange them.

I've already got 250 just in case :P

Although the maximum you get from quests is 125, which is half of 250

There's another 25 tokens from the Elonian quest

Saying that, the Candy Cane Shard blunder springs to mind...

Gailes cleared it up though, but I'm just worried incase it's some amazing new kind of gift that you get for the pig feast...

Please explain how this will work.

The event starts tmro, 8 am Gmt through to 8pm.

What will happen? Every so many hours hats are given ? Or will they be given during the 8-8 perior?

Another thing springs to mind, we need to gifts to "win" in a district so we all get the gifts.

Remember the battles with the void things in town during the Dragon Festival?

yes Sarevok.......those presents were popping everywhere, but first we had to move around those things (forget their name) before the grasps got them.

This worries me though: if the presents are for everyone, but a few of us are doing the heavy lifting (as in farming these stupid ingredients), that's totally unfair.

I'd like to see this explained.

I'm starting to think the items will drop during the appearance of the pig and we have to rush to get them to the chefs before nians take them...either that or we have to use fireworks to scare them off whilst the chefs prepare the feast.

with last year's dragon festival, things were kept cryptic, but we just showed up and figured it out and went from there. With these collectors, it requires a tremendous amount of prep work, and if this turns out to be a waste of time, or if the rewards get shared with everyone, I'm going to have an embolism

What "blunder" do you speak of? I honestly don't recall one. If you mean that the candy cane shards were used for both masks and obtaining other items, you're correct in that aspect but that's about it. It wasn't a "blunder" and there was little confusion because it was clarified that you should hold on to your shards until the finale.

And that's exactly what I said. If they were to be used for both obtaining fun items and masks, Anet would have specified to hold on to them. Just as they did with Wintersday.

You didn't need candy cane shards to get a mask in either wintersday event. The last event you merely needed them to gain favor for the district. To recieve a mask, you merely needed to be present. The only events so far that have required you to have items for a mask have been the Day of the Tengu and the Dragon Festival, but the items needed in those events for masks had no other use.

Need? No. But it helped, so you didn't have to rely on other people which wasn't really a problem anyway.

I'm going to be very disappointed if there won't be a significant reward for this. I just had to collect all of it, because I'd be even more disappointed if it turns out there is a nice reward and I'm not going to get it.

Or you could do what I'm planning and buy the ingredients if that happens.
Because I really don't have the time to go across the continent(s) getting hard-to-get items
