Talk:Eighth Year Anniversary Celebration

I would guess that the best time-efficient thing to do during Birthday celebrations would be Vaettirs or Raptors? Increased lockpick/scroll drops from the "all weekend events active", golds, and all of the sweet/drunk/party items? I guess you could do some dragon arena when you wanted a change of pace, but unless you really need the Balth faction, the gamer points from DA are pretty minimal.

Ripped off

Last year, we had two weeks for our anniversary. This year, we're having only one. I feel cheated. Batchie 11:26, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

Thing is, last years celebration was so big because of the upcoming Guild Wars 2 release. This year isn't really a real celebration like it was the years before, I can't even find any sign that the double rep weekends will all be active..I hope it will, because it gives the chance to work on multiple things at once without getting totally bored of one aspect of the game.SuperRobertWa 16:42, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, last years celebration length was nice, but, even a week is farr better than the 2nd year celebration of only, three days. ~ As for "double rep weekends.." looks possible, seeing they were during last years celebration. Plus, why the "verification needed" is in place. So, for that, we will have to wait and see..MystiLefemEle 09:09, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

"I can't even find any sign that the double rep weekends will all be active". It did occur last year even though it was never announced (Talk:Seventh Year Anniversary Celebration#All-in-one week). --Silver Edge 22:04, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Yeah... I'm surprised they're doing it at all. And with no new birthday, I really say they're not. They don't care at all about those of us who play Guild Wars rather than that sucktastic so-called sequel they made. --108.32.4.162 23:25, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Events NOT active

Just tried to cash in Kurz faction for allegiance (got 10k) and just tried to turn in A Time for Heroes (Zaishen quest) and got the normal 2500 Dwarven rep Pinkunicorn 19:18, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Well quest rewards have never been doubled, but from the first part it sounds like events aren't active. -Chieftain Alex 20:19, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

I'll fully admit that I'm not the most knowledgeable person wrt guild wars, but ""Double Asura, Deldrimor, Ebon Vanguard, and Norn points for bounties, quest reputation rewards, and dungeon reputation rewards"" doesn't include Zaishen? I always thought it had. Pinkunicorn 20:25, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Perhaps I'm incorrect, but I thought that bit referred to the eotn reward you get listed in your chat log after completing primary quests like A Time for Heroes after a bit of looking I found Talk:Weekend events/Archive_3#What_gets_doubled_during_double_weekends.3F, everything except storybooks, so it should work -Chieftain Alex 21:06, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, Sunspear points aren't doubling with kills. Supposedly the AB weekend was a lie as well, so I'm frankly a little worried with the future implementation of events. 71.194.198.101 02:34, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Changed Drops

Done a bit of raptor farming and have found Sugary Blue Drink drops instead of Slice of Pumpkin Pie and Krytan Brandy drops instead of Bottle of Grog. Also had a Battle Isle Iced Tea dropped, waiting for Party Beacons and Delicious Cakes to drop. Batchie 20:03, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

I can confirm (from Vaettirs) everything he said except the Iced Tea, haven't seen that one yet. Pinkunicorn 20:18, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Just had a Delicious Cake dropped. So I assume Party Beacons can drop too. These big point drops can only be dropped by bosses. Batchie 21:37, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

I've removed all the items that were observed to drop during last year's event from the table. This way we can confirm exactly which items actually drop during this year's event. --Silver Edge 01:15, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Vaettir Farm is dropping - V Tokens, HA Cider, Sugary Blue Drinks, Honeycombs, BD Cupcakes, Hunter's Ale, Bottle Rockets, Krytan Brandy and Champagne Poppers.EditForgot the Sparklers.MystiLefemEle 02:29, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Finally, after a couple of days, Rekoff has dropped a Party Beacon. So it's confimred. Batchie 18:49, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

Cupcakes

With Victory tokens dropping has anyone ID'd a collector and can one get Cupcakes? I love the things, absolutely my favorite con, and its just fun getting them. If anyone has found good farm they would be willig to share it would be appreicated. I've been doing the glitter farm out of ToA but the results have been a little disappointing. oh, Happy Birthday GW, we still Love this game. : ) --Blackbirdx61 01:39, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

For Victory Token collectors, see Victory Token#Collectors. Yes, you can exchange Victory Tokens to Elite Xunlai Agent Isa Ku for Birthday Cupcakes. Birthday Cupcakes should also be dropping. --Silver Edge 02:00, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
