Celestial Chefs: Why am i killing myself for this?
Navaros
Mars Dragonblade
I'm going to go crazy with this collectible carry on, imo i think it's a total shambles. I don't like doing something if in the end it turns out to be for something that wasn't worth the effort, especially if I could have been doing something more profitable/progressive/helpful. I also would like to know what the story for the hats is, i.e. whether the collectibles are for that or not, and when they're available to obtain one, because I want one for all seven of my chars.

those chef items are really time consuming to gather... I wonder how much worth they'll be when the finale arrives :S.

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. |

heh I actually enjoyed this little hunt for ingredients thing, got them all in 1 day.
Hope the reward is something better than the one the top 100 luckiest rollerbeetle runners get. ~.~

Perhaps you should ask yourself why it is you're forcing yourself to do something you obviously dislike doing - I thought about farming some ingredients but I also thought that I won't bust a gut doing so, to the point it gives me headache etc. or that I find no enjoyment in it at all.
Maybe you should take a step back and take some deep breaths, and ask what is REALLY important... who is there to impress, and does it really matter all that much that it affects your health and such?

My Theory:
1) To get hat, you'll merely need to be present, like most holidays.
2) Lunar Tokens will probably just be for prizes/etc (It is confirmed by Gaile that you will not need them for hat).
3) The "Chefs" will play a part in the Finale Event. Probably they will accept the ingredents after the Pig arrives and the Pig will reward the districts better (More Red Bag drops? Or w/e he will give as presents, I think the Red Bags) that give alot to the chefs. Or Something.

The requirements are ridiculous and unbalanced, and knowing Arena Net, the prizes for them will be something like 5 Sugary Drinks or 100 Lunar Tokens.

it is a group effort and nobody is expected to get every item for the dinner.
you will probably (my guess) get something (token/ bag/ fortune/ whatever) for each x number of item z you hand over

my concerns are for players who cannot farm.
its a very short amount of time and its a lot of items and some are VERY hard to get.
Hyper Cutter
I'd assume the pig gives out hats no matter what, but districts that please it also get spawning gifts or something like that...

Folks,
There is no requirement to have all the ingredients to get a mask. There is another reason that you want to have the ingredients. I will get details and provide them if/when I am able.
But collecting the ingredients is not a waste of time, yet you should not feel that you will be shorted, and not get a mask, if you do not collect them all.
Former, I don't yet have license to state the percentage of this that is accurate. I really want to check with the design team, out of respect for their having created this event and with my desire to assure that they are comfortable with my speaking precisely about what happens, when, and why. I will say that you've hit a major number of nails precisely on the head with these theories.

its really not that hard to get the items, most of them can be solo'ed using a 55hp or high armor build, getting the drops in no time. For example Island Guardians and Nightmares both weak creatures in tough areas, take the henches, kill the surrounding mobs, flag the hench away (or kill them) and take care of the monster alone making sure the drop is yours.
If anyone is having trouble getting a specific item feel free to pm me for some tips, most of them can be farmed in around 15-20 mins max.
The only one truly hard to get is the Ebon Spider Web, its an uncommon drop and requires a full party in order to kill them at a reasonable rate.

Glad Gaile clarified a few things.
Orphan Anthem
during the holiday event you didnt have to do ANYTHING to get a hat just stand in a district
Warmaster Patton
If you don't feel like farming then don't 
I'm not farming at all, I'm having fun racing and getting tokens/fortunes so I can get pigs and poppers/fireworks. It's a game, games are supposed to be for fun, have fun!

Here is a telling quote from our Cantha New Year Event Page:
But, if you want to dance the night away in your festival mask and have the chance to receive a special prize should every course of the celestial's meal be completed to perfection, you must journey to Shing Jea Monastery for the grand finale.I hope that is helpful info!
VitisVinifera
not that helpful..........does this mean that each individual person who has all collector's items gets something beyond a hat? Or is it sort of a collective effort, like the grenth vs dwayna count off
Knightsaber Sith
Well it said that if piggy enjoys all the courses of the meal; the whole district gets a surprise; I guess the red gift bags?
I would presume the people that actually bring the ingredients would get something beyond what everyone else does; a couple tokens may haps?

She said if you want a chance to get a SPECIAL PRIZE you have to get all the stuff from all over the place AND be at the finale.
Too much work (i.e. lag) for only having a CHANCE at something good for me. Unless it's a new car I'm out.
Peace. I can't wait until MOnday when I can actually play the game again.

ok, thanks for the clarification. all of this farming for collectibles has been a complete waste of time.
lyra_song
so if enough people in the district have 1 of each item, the piggy will be happy? or 1 of each item per chef?

*while the Celestial Pig will reward everyone for each properly prepared dish.*
so one person makes the right dish, the whol dis gets stuff?

I think the point of the chef ingredient hunt was to encourage collaboration & trade, and for some people the scavenger hunt was fun all by itself. Go do something else if you find scavenger hunts grueling?
I'm pretty sure it's "all the dishes must be completed at least once" for the district to get stuff.... That was my guess yesterday, and the comments in this thread make it likelier to be true.

They only drop from Nightmares on fire island.

The WIntersday scavenger quests were fun.

Plus you need characters up to high-end areas

Gaile just said in Shin Jea Int that "If a district is able to make all of the recipes, there will be a special reward".
However she did say that, that is how she interpreted it from the website, and then proceeded to re-write the blurb from the gw.com site.
Who knows.
