No one, besides the devs, will know until the actual give away. Buddy above is just guessing.

I'm pretty sure one of the official asian websites was traslated and it did say 250 per mask. I could be wrong though.

Wouldn't that be the ultimate grind fest just to get a little mask?

I doubt it that it would be 250, even though the orbs aren't that hard to get.

Emperor Kisu will honor us by appearing at the Shing Jea Monastery every 2 hours on the final day of the festival to reward those who have gathered 250 orbs. If you cannot attend the final day of the festival, take heart! The emperor has stationed an Imperial Supplymaster at the monastery, who will stay for a few days after the festival’s end to give Dragon Helms to those who have gathered their 250 orbs.

cheers

Can get the Jade Wind Orbs anywhere in Cantha .. I've found that just outside the Monastary is the easiest and quickest...

Wow 250 is a lot for one mask.

250 orbs is not a lot. I've already done three quests and am sitting at 150. The next quest has a reward of 90 orbs, so once you're done that that will be 240.

Seems like everyone and their dog will have a mask by the end of the event.

You can do the 4 quests and get 240 orbs as a reward. Anyone buying them is just plain stupid. Each quest takes around 5 minutes.

Hrm, perhaps I should have looked into the new quests. Maybe I should actually go on Guild Wars o.o

I guess if the quest rewards are so high, then it is quite possible for the masks to be 250 orbs each.

But I do now thanks, I'd been farming them outside the Monastary and have 300 so far, over a period of 6 hours .. but now I'm going to do the quests.

Oh and wasn't whining, moaning bitching whatever ....

I just think its fun to do this ... and have 9 characters to outfit -hehe-

Most people seem to think its 250, which would make sense since you can get them in such high volume for the quests.

250 orbs is really easy. Just do the quests from Captain Hanjo in Shing Jea and that will take you up to 240. Then go into the dragon arena to get 10 more. Lo and behold you have 250 orbs in under half an hour.
