For about 8 minutes, the chefs shout out ingredients and you run to them with your stuff.

you dont need all of em...i guess as long as someone in the dis has 1 of each kind, its ok.

For every item you hand in they give you 1 lunar token.....

the celestial pig has given me 16 gift bags and 1 miniature pig. *happy*

oh and the F-ING LION MASK!!

If you want more free gift bags; I suppose you could just park in one of the lower districts that's likely to have a lot of people and just go to sleep.

Need a rumor check, if you supply more items to the chefs, then in return you get extra bags?

anyone know if this is true, standard seems to be 16 bags

I don't mean to sound unthankful. I really liked the rollrebeetle racing. But that event was a big big let down, I figured it would be a lot more fun than it actually was. I have had fun with almost every event they've had since they started except this one. You chase down those hard to get items, for nothing. 1 Token isn't much. Get 16 gift bags if your district got everything in, a free mini pig..which is cool I guess and that mask. Then you chase the pig around for 15 minutes for no reason..and that's it.

I was hoping for something a little more like present drops or something more active..wise.

Ah well thanks Anet for the rollerbeetle racing.

lol. So, a guy can get as many piggies as he wants IF he manages to join the right district each time.

How RARE can it be? XD.

Not that I'm coplaining though. I made 90k out of token-selling alone, and also got the pig too.

managed 3 districts first visit and from what I obtained and saw I would take an educated guess that it works as follows:

Everyone gets a hat regardless.
for each complete dish in the district everyone gets 4 red bags (max 20)
Pigs are handed out if 4 or more dishes are complete.

Don't think so. My district got all 5 dishes but still got only 16 red bags. (and mini-pig too)

Besides, I don't think you would get the mini-pig unless your district gets all 5 dishes finished.

K - I wasn't paying attention in the first 2 districts I was in, so don't know how many dishes were completed but the pig was happy and we got pigs and 16 prizes.

In the last district I visited only 3 dishes were complete - no pig and 12 prizes so I deduced 4 prizes per dish.

Are you certain 5 dishes were complete? or was the pig just pleased?

Yes. I saw that all the 5 dishes were complete. Each chef also spoke his "my dish is a success" line, too.

Are you sure you can please the pig WITHOUT 5 dishes finished?

Nope, as I said I wasn't paying attention in the first 2 districts where I got pigs.

I was basing my calculations on the other posters who only got 4 and 8 red bags and no pig - I got 12 in a failed district and 16 in both that got pigs.

I deduced therefore that the districts I was in when I got pigs (16 bags) had 4 dishes complete (each comlplete dish = 4 red bags) and that any district where all 5 dishes were complete would get 20 bags.

So can you get gifts even if you DON'T manage to get any items for the chefs?

I believe so. But only if your district gets all the 5 dishes finished.

It's so dumb. There are 5 collector items from the Ring of Fire. That has got to be one of the most cruel things I have ever seen. Most people I know, only go to the Ring of Fire for two things; doing missions and elites. People do not want to be going through a mission just to fight one of the most annoying creatures in Tyria (spiders), or have to fend of creatures they thought they didn't need to worry about anymore, just so they can get a small amount of extra stuff.

Frankly, I would have these collector items, were it not for the fact that I utterly despise the RoF. Only problem is, these are the items that seem to be the least common.

Next time, they should make sure that the collector items required are in an area where there is at least some nice scenery (igneous rock and lava pits are hardly very exciting).
