Someone put Canthan New Year in my Superbowl!

Looks like there will be some AFK action from 6-9 pm on Feb 01. Cannot remember if they two events have always conflicted? Have two full sets of ingredients right now, will have to use em early. Anyone else joining in the AFK action during the superbowl? Go Cardinals! (Steelers have enough trophies )

Hmm... Weird because Chinese New Year is next Monday. I would have thought the event would be this weekend instead.

That would make sense Hawk, but reading here:

a little below middle of thread.

and wiki: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Canthan_New_Year_2009

Not sure if that is Official or not. Hope it is this weekend instead.

Maybe they can put the chefs in steelers and cardinals helmets!!

there is no nine rings or rings of fortune for cathan new year, only a stupid pig u get to shot into a bucket for 10g, so no afk action for u

As long as you are in Shing Jea Monastery (with the chefs) you will get red gift bags based on how many dishes are completed by those people in the districts. If you can find a guild sponsored dist you should do Ok. 16 gift bags and 5 crates of fireworks max.

What do you get if you have all he ingredients for the chef dishes? I know a district gets soemthing but what does an individual player get?

Where the info came from:

They were added to the Canthan New Year 2008 event. So they will no doubt make an appearence in the 09 event.

If all dishes are completed: 16 gift bags and 5 crates of fireworks max. 2 gift bags if the district is really bad.


Thanks for tracking down the Official answer Free Runner!

I really need to read deeper on the wikis

Who mentioned the pig (from my avvy)...I think actually the pig was only during one year and im pretty certain they put 9 rings in last year.
I always get confused between Canthan new year, dragon festival and birthday celebration
EDIT: checked wiki yes this is the one where i do all the quests and use up all my materials on fireworks etc love it

I normally like to root for the underdog, but the Steelers are my team, so pfft to you.

Your boys do look much better than the cards!

If the Cards get blownout (likely) then I can just play GW without distractions. Computer and Plasma in same room but always end up missing something on one or the other. If it is a good game going to be AFK.

For each ingredient a player provides, they receive 1 lunar token.

last year there was uproar over the overpopulated pig so they had to have a trade 5 regular pigs for celestial one. The Rat was from the lunar tokens like the pig was from the previous year. For quite a few reasons it will make sense that there will be no trade in minis this year and our mini oxe (celestial) will come from lunar tokens of this year.

shhhh dont tell anyone about that ox will be worth more if less people know

Sold about half of my pigs a few months prior to that, fortunately had enough to still get the celestial pig.

Is the best option for lunar fortunes rock paper scissors or getting lunar tokens or 10 from red bags(10% chance)? I dont mind farming but the idea of playing rock paper scissors for the whole weekend is not appealing. may be buying many tokens/fortunes that weekend.

Superbowl? Thats something with sports involved isn't it? I hate sports.

You are correct I take it you will not be AFK during that timeframe.

Yeah, it's something like Olympics, but it's made in America, for Americans... And only Americans watch it.

Ah, the quality.

I want a mini ox!!!

I believe it's bowling with super large balls.

You forgot that they are announced as the World Champions also (see Baseball, Basketball etc...)

The Cardinals will get stuffed (I said that the previous two rounds and who am I to doubt superstition!)
