nice guide, but there is one spelling mistake in it:
Quote:
Speak to Elder Fehj in Plains of Jarin to begin this quest who can be found is just west of the entrance to the Sunspear Great Hall.
there is no elder fehj, just the "kid" fehj, you might wanna fix that before another clueless newbie goes around searching for an elder fehj wihtout staying around to read the entire dialogue of the two of them.

not that it happened to me *cough*

Gaile has stated that the rat will NOT be given out at the end of the event, and that the ONLY way to get it is through the Lunar Fortunes.

Anyone saying otherwise is wrong, and probably speculating based on how the event worked last year.

I could have told that it was a new item. She said earily, that it might be something we've never seen before.

And don't worry about saving 5 rats for next year. I'm pretty sure that this is a 1 time only deal. Considering, the rat mini is already a Mini Celestrial Rat. There would be no need as they would just offer the ox like the rat this year. Mini Celestial Ox only obtainable from the fortunes.

But nice guide, and thanks for using my Rollerbeetle Guide as well. *thumps up*

The Celestial Rat can only be obtained by using the Lunar Fortunes by my knowlage.

Got my Celestial Rat on my third use Lunar Fortunes boy was i suprised!
Seems like they "drop" more then the Mini Pig's did last year.

That quest you can obtain from Elder Fehj in the guide is nowhere to be found. Seems like it's just a double post with a name change (+Elder) on the kid.

BTW, Great Guide

Lucky you. I did all the quests with my Dervish and traded all the tokens for lunar fortunes and not a single rat dropped. >.<

  • 3 courses: 8 Red Gift Bags

  • 0 courses: 2 Red Gift Bags

A question on this. So like, as long as someone in the district has done this, everyone in the district gets something, or does everyone have to do it individually? Like, if I'm away and my character is in a district, I could potentially get something if other people get all the courses done? Not suggesting that I am going to try to leech, either way I am going to do as much as I can, just that I may not be able to spend as much time playing this weekend as I would like with work and other things and it would be nice to still be able to get something.

Thanks for the guide by the way.

Not even one person has to do it all. As long as at least one of each ingredient is given by somebody, you'll reap the benefits as well.

My question is: How do you get it? I already have it, mind you. Just that I don't see a way for someone to get it now that the event has begun?
Im still waiting for this confirmation as well. I missed last yr, so Id at least want to get this into my hat npc perm this time around.

OK, here's a question....Did the quests, got the lunar tokens, traded for fortunes, ended up with a very intoxicated acting (I know it's not actually drunk, just same visuals) War walking around babbling to himself, no rat. I would like to get the mini just for shits and giggles but don't really want to have to buy one at some inflated price. How does one go about amassing lunar fortunes without subjecting ones self to Roller Beetle, which seems to have many problems of it's own as I see many many complaints about it already? I see in the guide 2 things that contradict themselves, in one place it says Rats can ONLY be obtained from fortunes but in another place it says if all dishes for feast are prepaired then a Rat will be given... which is it? Suppose I was expecting more, this is only my 2nd event in GW, the first was Wintersday which I really enjoyed. Suppose I could just leave my toon on a 9 rings circle and be AFK for the weekend, kinda defeats the purpose of playing the game though, too bad.

Does it have to be the Naga in Haiju Lagoon? Or can we use the lower level ones?

Also Thanks for the great guide.

Never seen low level ones drop Hide, and the biggest number of them can be found in Haiju Lagoon.

You will NOT get a Rat or any mini or Hat at the finale. Look and Read the first page of the Guide (Statement from Gaile) It will be something new we never seen before!

Depends on were you have look'd?

A good way to get them is in The Falls where you do a Totem farm run, since 2-4 Life Pod's (Drops Tangled Seeds) spawn at each Root Behemoth.

Gahh, Ingredient farming is very annoying.
i just hope people out there are farming for ingredients... and don't just leech off the few that have.
Im trying to get at least 3 of every item.. and they just aren't dropping.

Yeah, low level nagas definately drop hides. Damn Kraken eyes seem impossible to get, always have seemed to be that way. I remember when I tried to get 5 or so for some collector weapon, but now even one seems unreal.
