"...And, if that's not enough to entice you to attend this year's festival, don't forget that should the Celestial Rat fully enjoy its meal, all those attending the feast will receive an exciting, if somewhat volatile, special treat."

I wonder what this exciting and volatile special treat is?
it cant be the celestial pig or rat because it was written after that
any ideas?

The minipet is only obtainable through Lunar Fortunes, so it isn't that...

Here was my prediction.

It's just another consumable.

Interesting!

I would assume this is some type of re-usable firework display, probably creating an image of the celestial animal corresponding to the month you've created your character.

Then again, this is just a guess
Sounds way too cool. My guess:

A sparkler.

actualy last lear you could get mini pigs both form celestial pig if you completed all the meals and out of lunar fortunes so might work the same this year also on the gw main page said there would be 2 minis this year also i think the main page said there should be a collector mini as well as the rat

edit:hope collector aint mini pigs ...lol

WHERE DO YOU THINK

Gaile said that the Mini from Lunar Fortunes would only be avalible from the Fortunes. And the celestial minipig is the other mini avalible, so that is the 2 minis. Also Gaile said it was something they had not done befor.

A sparkler doesn't fall under the definition of volatile.

Who knows. We will find out soon enough.

I'm hoping it's something very nice, because so far I just can't get excited for the event.

Sounds intriguing.

I didn't bother stocking up items for the dishes or whatever last year.. this year I won't either.. I don't know if any of the towns I were in actually completed all the meals but yeah..

Can't wait.

Yeha, though if they make it last 5min. I will be perfectly happy.
But my guess is that the treat is probably some consumable treat or at the best; a mini pet of some sort.

Volatile? I'm hoping for a mini-Gwen-shaped reuseable firework that kills everyone in guild hall or town.

It was mentioned before, but, from the news letter:

"Help prepare a meal fit for a celestial being, and you could walk away from the festival with a special gift you can use to light up your Guild Hall or a local town or outpost (but only if the Celestial Rat enjoys its meal)."

I hope its an everlasting celestial tonic where you take on celestial colors that can be used in PvE!!!! Man thatd be sweet and truly a GREAT way to end the GW events (im thinking this may be the last one widely celebrated in GW since GW 2 is coming out)

All i can say is

Don't get your hopes up, you will be disappointed

Even though i do hope its something like the rumors going about but knowing Anet it probably wont be. But hey you never know

I agree with ya IDELETEDI, whatever it is people shouldn't get their hopes up.
It will only lead to flame wars in the end. The more that is expected the more volatile the reaction.

"The shield is down! Commence attack on the Death Star's main reactor."

I assume that was the quote you were looking for.


I'm hoping it will be something truly original, that will not be single use, IMO single use would suck

The mystery "reward" is a double-edged sword for ANET. If not handled properly, it can blow up in their face and more QQing threads about it may pop-up that could last for a week or two.

The PIG has raked in so much personal feelings, its unbelievably surprising how people reacted to it. I hope this wont happen on the "mystery reward".

My take.
