Guild Wars 2

By now it’s becoming less and less of a secret that you can combine:

1 Toy Frame
50 Enchanted Stuffing
50 Drops of Magic Glue
1 Pile of Glittering Dust

…for a chance to get an endless tonic that corresponds to the frame you used (i.e., if you combine those 3 items with the princess doll frame, there’s a chance you get an Endless Princess Doll Tonic).

However, some of us have used these frames early on when we got our 250 Mystic Cogs to make the first toy or combined the 4 Endless Tonics we’ve gotten in the Mystic Forge only to get something other than the Endless Toymaker’s Tonic (I didn’t, but other people have. Still not the issue.) What I ask is not for more Mystic Cogs or the ability to make more than two pets, only that we get more FRAMES (which are useless without cogs) in order to experiment with the Endless Tonic recipees and also to be able to get the Endless Tonics of the pets we already crafted.

I don’t mind having to buy them for, say, 100 gems on the Black Lion Market, but other ways they could be obtained include:

- As a daily reward for the Toypocalypse. (One choice of frame per day; again, NOT cogs)
- As a reward for repeated attempts of the Machinarium after Tixx arrives in Lion’s Arch (This would encourage people to run the dungeons from the previous days, and the frame rewarded would correspond to the city’s dungeon being run).

I’m more than willing to pick up the toy pets from the gem store for the 350, I just want the opportunity to get the Endless Ventari Toy Tonic that I inadvertantly screwed myself out of before finding out this recipee existed.

I’m hoping people who want more frames will use this to consolidate their concerns and wishes, because let’s face it: if people hadn’t have risked their frames in the first place, we might never have found out about these tonics, so it’s only fair that people like those who combined the 4 endless tonics, willingly risking all 4 tonics and those frames, be rewarded for their risk, not hampered by the fact that they get 1 tonic they could have gotten tomorrow.

I’m glad you feel that way Q_Q

I honestly feel happy that people who didnt risk it, seem compassionate and sticking up for those who did risk it. It makes me feel a bit better about it all, knowing that some do appreciate those that “go ahead and test it to let the others know” rather then that we are all waiting for “someone else” to try it.

@OP
I think your suggestion about a way to get new frames and only frames would be great. Since the endless tonics are account bound no one needs more than one and without cogs people can’t make more than 2/5 minis anyway.

It would just mean people could get 5/5 tonics if they want and 2/5 minis unless they spend gems.

I don’t know, my stance on it is twofold.

A) If you’re a completionist, you want everything, you should be willing to pay for it. Seriously, you cannot be a completionist and a cheapskate, they are opposites. I, for example, am the dirtiest of dirty cheapskates, and I know that I am not going to get everything because of that. The ‘gotta catch em’ all’ attitude is expensive with real world hobbies, why would you expect it not to be with digital ones?

B) However, because this was a secret recipe people had to discover, a lot of people have lost the ability to get everything they want even if they are willing and able to do so, because they unknowingly sacrificed a frame that can’t be replaced when they should have saved it. This needs to be rectified.

Im a completionist and I spend alot of money on this, yet now I cant complete it anymore despite even spending a nice amount of money, which is the sour feeling im experiencing now

I agree give us more frames please

People shouldn’t have dropped everything on the first day imo.
If you’re going to regret it later on, why not wait? There’s no rush to have it all on the first day.

/agree with the OP

It would be nice to have a good reason to redo the instances next week anyway.

Is there no chance to get any via the gifts?

if not – then yes i agree, should be able to get more frames somehow.

Hey guys. Here is a kewl tidbit I just learned a few mins ago. You can trade 250 Ugly Hats, Sweater, or Socks for any of the 5 toy frames.

yea…you could trade ugly clothing for frames…
