Rabbits are adorable. Perhaps they'll do something interesting this year. Doubt it, but it doesn't hurt to hope.

Darn, I was actually hoping for a new Canthan costume to go with this event. Oh well, I'll settle with 9rings I guess.

I was hoping for a Canthan-themed costume as well. I'll bet they're waiting to tie one into Winds of Change, whenever the heck that is. XD

Free gold minipets for everyone!!!!!!
38 chars to get through this stuff and then take a deserved afk rest at the rings

my Guild Leader hates this one which makes it even more fun to hear him complaint the entire weekend, he's so negative lol.

I hate that they give the same damn hat every year. But I've leveled 8 characters on different accounts so I can try to farm a damn rabbit :P

I haven't done of these in years...Any suggestions on how to take advantage of the weekend and make some $$ off it. I don't have any interest in the consumable titles, or the fireworks and this seems like a way to get some to sell off maybe.

Do all the quests on as many chars as you can.... sell your extra fireworks and minis. Last year I got 7 celestial tigers and sold a bunch for 50k each and that was before the HoM mini price bump. All this with only 10 chars. This year I'll be going at it with 17

To obtain the lion mask, you just have to be there for when the rabbit shows up right?

Any sign of a "Juiced Up" quest like Wintersday had?

They jacked the reward of "Snowball Dominance" up through the roof for Wintersday... any sign of a repeatable quest with a ridiculous reward for this holiday also?

15 characters x 50 fortunes (150 tokens from 6 quests per char). Dual account, most quests can be afk'd by one account. You can finish all 6 quests within half an hour tops. So that is 8 times all quests, should take max 4 hours.

At least, that is how I did it.

Only got 3 from my 750 though.

Wow, I thought I was excessive at having 6 chars >__>

Whats better: exchanging 3 tokens for the lunar fortune or doing scissor/paper/rock?

Pretty cool, did one char quests and a few dropped tokens, then a few rounds in the dragon nest for a total of 64 fortunes, got a mini at the 62nd. So, I'm happy, I've tried each year and came up empty.

Not too shabby, fun to mess around in the race and get blasted by sync Dragon Arena teams from time to time.

The definition of time. Something we spend our lives killing while it kills us.
