Update April 24, 2012

Ive got reports that all kinds of drops dropping: Grog, cider, pumpking pies, victory tokens, all the special stuff

Yep. Seems like they are going all out this year.
Have reports of more or less everything dropping

Interesting, may have to goof off with my level 20 new pet...



Edit: No flames when charmed in menagerie, but flames when in explorable areas, very nice

had the same in ally chat, checking now.

Boardwalk is open

Edit: Seems to me like the event is one last hurrah to help people max titles in preparation for GW2

Mine has flames

Got to admire this dev team's ability to add things that hardly have a practical use...

Looks cool... but what build enthusiast uses pets often?

and you got to have it in embark.... otherwise it might make that location look like a total waste of time.

Just went to my friends the vaettirs and yes its true, they drop all kinds of things and by the tons.

I hear reports of double Kurzick/Luxon faction aswell, can anyone confirm?

You can unlock the pet in Embark Beach right now. I got mine. You can find it in the menagerie after unlocking it in NE cave next to lava pit.

Yep, all kinds of goodies are dropping!

It looks like almost all event goodies are dropping! Not just he Anniversary B-day stuff!

just too bad victory tokens drop in pre, as pre has no npc for it...... oh well, lets sell em later :P

EDIT: even honeycombs drop o_O

EDIT2: i hope this is no goodbye party for GW, not in a way that GW will get no support except for skill balances, events and being online

anyway, very nice to give so much, even though its mostly meant for those who'll get titles for HoM (i dont, i just keep playing GW)

Yes, just finished VQ Ferndale and got 26k faction for it

sooooooo, dragon arena anyone?

This isnt fair. I also wanted to max my consumable titles before GW2 and spend the whole birthday event farming ... but this weekend is also the open GW2 beta!

Why do the GW2 beta and GW1 birthday events have to happen at the same time????

Looks like EVERY booze/party/sweet item is dropping. I'm getting drops out the ass from vaettir

Getting double progress towards title when giving faction to alliance i had a title left to complete alittle annoyed aobut this weekend being the GW2 open so my time is short

The birthday is a lot longer than the gw2 beta. You could farm now untill the weekend and get your titles maxed from the looks of the drops...

Indeed, the event is TWO weeks. It won't end until the 8th
