Guild Wars 2

Where Do I find Tixx and How do I get in his airship?

He is in Lions Arch, near where the statue is being rebuilt in the center of town.
You will see a candy on your map showing the location. Talk to the NPCs at that location.

i cannot find it. the candy cane icon on the map is not at the location where the statue is being built, it is a little north to the left of the mystic forge

Tixx is standing on a barrel to the west of the statue being built, but he doesn’t give me anything or do anything other than speak some random texts

i thought the main wiki page said “Toymaker Tixx finally arrives at Lion’s Arch! As the Wintersday guest of honor, Tixx and his workshop will remain in Lion’s Arch for the rest of the holiday. He has a special Wintersday gift for everyone who visits him while he’s in Lion’s Arch.”

well i visited him and he didn’t give me a gift.

on your map, it will look like a dungeon door, unless you’re zoomed all the way in (and even then, not really) in which case it will look like a peppermint. visually, on the screen, it is the candy cane colored hoop on the ground

You will have received Tixx’s gift via mail (250 cogs, etc).
