Birthday Cupcakes are going to be invaluable for runners, IMO.

So are cupcake drops bugged or are they just very rare? They are a special event items so *should* be exempt from loot scaling however I have yet to see one after 10 solo farming runs.

Where are the cupcake drops? Been farming usual places for event items and nothing at all... Also just opened a bunch of boardwalk prizes, and it seems cupcakes havn't been added to those either (in case anyone was wondering)

Cupcakes give +2 sweet tooth. Can someone post a screen of them dropping from a monster (or the source that says they drop)?

Great guide, but some tips:

-Apparently in rollerbeetle racing (unless it's a bug), you only get victory tokens if you get first place, and who knows, maybe even then they only give you one. This is totally unfair and rigged, as you still got tokens during the Gamer Weekend and the New Year events, regardless of placement.

-Even without Factions, they STILL won't let you into the Dragon Arena.

If you go to Temple of Balthazar or LA, either way, the stupid NPC will say you must have visited Cantha to go there.

Guess for now I'm stuck to the now-token-rigged rollerbeetle racing...

Unlike real cupcakes, these special items have some extra qualities that are certain to make you smile. But we doubt these treats will make the vile creatures of Tyria, Cantha, and Elona happy. This is a sugar rush with a vengeance.

No need for an attitude at all, You didn't address your post to anyone so how are we to know who you are talking to or giving the info too?

Nice no Victory Tokens for other places than 1st. I guess no racing until it gets fixed.

Just did another 10 solo runs and no cupcakes as of 1:53 pdt. Has anyone seen one drop either solo or in a group?

As of 30 minutes ago I wasn't getting victory tokens even for a 1st place finish. Don't know if that's going to change or not.

I hope it does, cause that is the best way to obtain tokens plus is fun.

just finished a six race win streak.. 50 bath faction +50 bath faction for flawless victory - that's it.

it's not keeping top scores either, so it looks like we won't be getting a chance to win a rollar beatle. which i personaly think kinda blows, i missed the top 100 last time by 10 spots, and just rattleed off a score that would have netted me 36th place in the last list 474,660.

disappointed in the minipet. For two years they could at least give me something decent.

They are tracking top beetle race scores. You just have to click on the "Daily" or "Monthly Best" tabs to see the scores to see just the scores from this festival. The default tab shows scores from both this festival and the last time the race was open.

And no, there are no rewards like minipets; that was a one-time thing. I am hoping they add back the victory token reward, though.

the top score thing for daily and monthly was blank for both records guys when i wrote that post... also i tried a farmspot well known for good drop rate for about 40 min - and no cupcake drops - however i'm breaking toget the new build now, so both problems might be getting fixed now.

Finally they are dropping. Also, tokens should be awarded in beetle race too.
