Relaxxxxxxx! If you considered that a 'flame' then you are a bit stressed with the holidays, my friend. I was just pointing out that there are 4 new quests this year, and they weren't listed in your guide. In fact, be happy I turned to your guide even before GuildWiki.

You are aware of the quests, groovy. Enough said.

Happy Holidays

I can't find Tina nor Terum. My memory is vaguely dregging up the thought they aren't added till near the end of Wintersday?

Other missing info is the collectors in EoTN, there is one that accepts Jotun Pelts. One that accepts Superb Charr Carvings, and one who accepts Destroyer Cores. These collectors do offer Spiked Eggnogs, which most of the others don't.

Personally I was hoping for a Saurian Bone collecter, especially with the number I'm storing at the moment. Guess that's not going to happen though.

Are they not doing the Present Hunt this year?

I've been to Lion's Arch and Kamadan and, so far, no Gentches or presents...

People seem to forgot with each event it takes time for everything to show up. But for some reason there always someone who doesn't remember

In anycase it generally takes 2-3 days before all the NPCs, etc... show up.

Don't you mean if they drop?

Personally, I think Snowmen should be dropping Frosty Tonics (with Freezie dropping everlasting) and grentches dropping Mischievous Tonics (with Grentchus Magnus dropping everlasting). Low % chance of course (but higher then the minipolar bear).

Year 'round too. (Go ahead, add the summoning stones too!)

I meant, are they dropping from the Wintersday chest, or other places. Regina or Linsey had mentioned that everlastings were going to be available, but they didn't decide on how they were going to drop.

I think people would have made threads saying "I have an Everlasting Frosty/Grench Tonic!" and it would be leeked by now.

So, I would have to say, currently, they are not availible. Sadly.

Great guide!

You may want to fix where it says:
[Frosty Tonic]
"Unlike most other one-use tonics, this one does not have a known everlasting counterpart."

They made one of those. Check GWW for info.

Really awsome job... I'm just to caught up with trying to get the dam mini-fur-ball to drop for me $##%$#%$#.

Wish we could trade in 10,000 cc's for it!

Thanks for the hard work

Just finished the first Wintersday event. Presents go straight into your inventory. You do see presents on the ground but if you try to poach them, you end up dead and an NPC warns you about trying this.
