The best I could do to get the pink color I wanted.

7% were 1k gold - total 14K
40% were (stacks of 5 orbs) - total 400
32% Bottles of rice wine - total 64
21% Rice Bean Cakes - total 41

This was a fun festival.
imo, this was done MUCH better than day of tengu. The information provided ahead of time by anet for this festival helped me a lot, especially since I didn't have to rush around to figure out what to do to get my mask.

Wintersday is still my favorite though, and the gwen ending during the beta days is still the best
But I guess we'll see how the ending for this festival goes, if there is anything...

Oh... and two emperors? two masks?

Just to note.. one emperor kisu is still in dist 87........ bugged. I donno about other dist.
And no.. I don't think there becomes two masks given out, but I didn't have 500 orbs, so I donno.

You don't appear to have a pic of The Fury so here is a screenshot for you of Ranger Rinjin and The Fury.

Max I've seen is 4 emperors in 1 district. Took a screenshot cause I thought it was a bit weird.

The conclusion of the Dragon Festival will be marked with surprises true Canthans won't want to miss.
Does someone know what that means? Is there something special a non-canthan can't get at the end of the festival?

god! a friend of mine is... a little bit anoyed. the amount of lag he got was so grate that not only did he spend about 20 minets on the loading screen... he also completly missed the emporer due to him only being there for 30 minets (rly dont get that! how come not the full houre?)

Want to know how to get pet Grasping Insanitys?

Get a celestial charge and go into the festival grounds. After ~5 minutes, it'll disappear automatically. The game however, still thinks you have one.

You'll keep getting pings from the Imperial Sorcerers and if you go into the main area, you'll get some Grasping Insanitys that follow you around and won't kill you (unless you pick up another charge).

This effect will also last throughout the day, unless you logout I suppose.

Just a fun little trick.

If you get it infused and then then report it with a image of the icon in the backpack as well, and I'll make sure of it.

Yes they are, but I really feel that when you redeem the orbs you should get the same stats on the dragon mask as exist on the current headgear you are wearing at the time.
I mean, otherwise, we will soon be over-running our storage space with cute, but otherwise useless items. So far there is the...

Jack O' Lantern
Santa Hat
Antler's
and now the Dragon Mask

that is four slots of storage if you have them all. Will we get a Bowler Hat with a Shamrock hanging out the brim for St. Patty's day? Bunny Ears for Easter? We are all going to become the Imelda Marcos' of hats!!

I think that it would be nice if they simply allowed for the item to have the same stats as what you are wearing when you redeem your prize, minus any runes you have added. Then they could make specialty armor and not just hats.

Don't forget some of us also have Tengu mask as well.

I'm sure A.net will implement a "event items" tab to the storage at some point.

Our district still pulled out a win against the more numerous grasps and we got... the same thing as all the other times... Presents opened in about the same ratio . Must be something else coming up.

some districts had double amounts of grasp making it hard to win.
Mine had a single serving of grasps so there was no problem. I am really dissapointed at the finale (looked like the same presents and fireworks show to me)!

Hmm this time 11:00 GMT emperor arrives, but does not start speaking... I change districts, everywhere the same. In SJM 3, I saw someone speaking to 'her' Grasp, named Fat George. I and some other people followed the two all around the monastary and it appears she got herself a new pet... the Grasp was following her everywhere she went. LMAO. Apparently she plans to sell it for 50k. But be warned: it has an insatiable appetite for Oinks!

I got some screens from the duo, but it is kinda hard to see how it follows her on a still.

Its 10:30 hrs GMT and the Grand Finale still hasn't started. Looked like the event is massively bugged. Maybe Anet need to troubleshoot before the Finale starts.

Shanaya,

I believe the finale is actually over. I would expect an update within the next few hours removing most of the Dragon Festival and instituting the NPC for mask trading.
