Thought I read somewhere that someone got one from a giant wintersday gift.
Edit: I’m wrong that was the endless toy maker tonic i was thinking about.

Yea they have a chance. Very small chance but it’s there.
yea it rocks. Gonna make one for my gaurdian asura who’ll use the same princess wand the doll holds. Would be great if it could make the same sounds it does with the mobs but that may be pushing it.
got mini golem and mini snowman from a total of 3 boxes. Sometimes you’re lucky sometimes you’re not. I’d like to get that perm hairstyle gratz on that shoiba.
Nice guess i’ll be farming most of this event.
Someone posted earlier on a different thread that they got the unbreakable choir bell from opening a box in the map. Probably was the mystery one.
I’ve enjoyed it. Plus the fact that there are several different ones that the players in your overflow get put on makes it a lot easier to do. I enjoy watching the ones that made it farther than me too. Plus if you get bored the snowballs are a nice distraction. I’ve only beat it twice but have enjoyed it and will continue to do so.
Great job Anet you’ve improved on the JP keep up the good work.
With my warrior I use rifle and sword. Bleed em dry.
lol, though I’ve been convinced. This will be one of the 2 mini pets i make simply b/c they’re awesome little mobs with awesome atks. Princess wand shooting heat seeking stars and banshee cries.
@Lasciel
You can get a consumable one to see for yourself ppl sell them in tp for just over 1s or you can turn in a small amt of the socks/hats/sweaters for it.
What actually drops them? Is it the gem winters day box or can it be gotten through the personalized gifts from spvp event or through the presents dropped from mobs?
Title says it all. I’ve got a lvl 31 guardian that I started when the game went live but have till now stopped playing her till I figured out what I’d like to play her as. I’ve enjoyed using a shield and scepter and I like the hammer but as of yet I’ve not really messed around much with trait points. So just wondering if there’s a good guide that works with these weps together or something fairly close.
I use scepter in CoE. Best advise I could give u when going against most of the alpha fights (the exception being Path 1 where d/d works better since the best strategy against the alpha is stacking next to his feet).
If you’re just looking for any particular weapon that’s big then I’d suggest a the unique rifle: Charrzooka. Here’s what it looks like and on an asura, well, it’s bigger than your char.
What about traits? Which would be best by 35? Which traits should I start with? Also, what weapon or a combo weps would be good?
Thanks for the info so far btw. ^^
I’d like to start doing dungeons at lvl 35 in AC. I’ve done AC exp plenty of times with a couple of my other chars so I’m not in for any surprises. So I have several questions I’d like to ask.
What would be a good build for an up and coming warrior to have to dungeon run in?
What traits should I start adding to first (I’m only lvl 15 and haven’t added traits yet)?
What weapons, armor, sigils, and runes would be good to use?
What skills would be the most useful?
Someone should create. . .The Lollipop Guild. XoD
why is the silver doubloon worth more than the gold?
On Topic:
I don’t recall them making a mace skin either. But I wouldn’t be surprised that if they did make a hammer (or mace) it would probably be a giant candy cane. I could definitely see them making a shiv out of a candy cane for a knife.
soundcloud? where’s that and can I still get the halloween theme song?
Yea Wv3 and AC dungeon runs are the best way to go make sure to eat a snack or something for the added exp and bonuses.
You say that but I can’t tell you how long I’ve been trying to pick out a name that was not taken, which I would bet so have countless others. Though you could add a second name in their, a last name or title or honorific a lot of people tend not to like doing that either. Mayhap the name someone chooses has an accent mark and they do not know how to add it. Either way, it is better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
-Quix (prounced Quiz or kicks)
-Mnymn (pronounced Nym)
-Xyvn (pronouced Sven)
-Jynx (prounced jinks)
-Vreasche (prounced Vreash)
Idk, I don’t think all the weapons look bad on an asura. I mean check this one out? It is absolutely, positively, supercalifragilisticexpialidociously cute.
I love that mace and shield combo on this asura and I really, really want them to make lionguard cultural armor.
P.S. Here is an informative video on how to pronounce that rather long word in case you don’t know how. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThBhL-R58UI

Wanted to go with: Faxanadu (an NES game that took place in the World Tree) but it was taken. =oT
So went with: Ghöstory (non accent one was taken too) for my mesmer
and
Merry Nightmare: for my ele.
With the winter’s day event coming up I wouldn’t be surprised if the drop rate increased. So, if you have a char that you know you will be playing at constantly even getting a legendary for, then use it on that char. If not and you’re still iffy on what you want to play as then sell it.
yea but still it’s not a bad thing to learn a few of the more common letters used. Plus in the off chance (actually in the most likely case) there’s a name that you want to use and it’s taken well you can add an accent marked letter to your name to get it.
Probably the most annoying thing about this game is that… every name is practically taken. This has led to people using accent marks in names, the problem with this though is a lot of people do not know how put them on so they find another player for parties, dungeons, etc. So here’s to hoping that this gets sticky’d so people can learn how to use them or, at the very least, be able to quickly look up the letter here.

The “I feel six feet tall!”
Dude, get over it. It is A FIRST. As it says this year the guest of honor is Tixx in LA, so lore has nothing to do with it. ITS A FIRST and everything has a beginning. So this time Tixx (for the first time) is handing out toys while flying in what appears to be a floating golem, for the first time. Your lore here means diddly squat. Don’t play if you don’t want to. Skedaddle if you don’t want to do it b/c it offends you on some level. It’ll be one less grinch in the game.
Nicely done. =^)
This game just started a few months back. People shouldn’t be expecting much from it. At best they could bring back the Halloween stuff again. If they individually sold the skins from Halloween the prices for them ingame would plummet and we’d get hundreds of replies QQing why they made them available and how they were meant to be “rare” and such. This best I am hoping for is to have a sale on char. slots and invent/storage slots.
It’s a play your way game.
For me reaching 80 was a too quick experience and I wanted something that would take longer and be more complex so I went with an ele. Luckily I started playing an ele a couple days before the patch and am barely lvl 15 right now so this patch isn’t something that will effect me.
If you’re not up to playing a complex class then as the asura say: Embrace simplicity.
And honestly sometimes it’s nice to just play something less complex. I’m also leveling a warrior that I play when my day’s been stressful and I want to play a more relaxing class. It’s also a fun class to play.
lol yea its a vicious little champ.
When I first saw it I soiled my armor I was so scared. XoD

Best Champion ever. I think it was made as an homage to this rabbit here. :^>
Thanks for the info on the start of my trait build. I’m barely lvl 10 right now so its good to know where to place those points early on. Decided since the lvl cap increases at the lost shores for the weekend to give that a shot. Managed to take down a Young karka, barely; it was a fight to the finish with both our lives at the black but I won out. Meh, its a start. Its forcing me to start using my elements more, which I find to be a good thing, being more of a challenge and most important of all – its fun.
P.S.
What would you recommend is a good start in skills to get early on as I progress?
Anyone else do this at lvl 1 and turn into dolphins and then later on (still at level 1) where you were supposed to be a dolphin instead you got that ink blackness? Isn’t that a lvl 2 or 3 part?

The guide’s great I’ve enjoyed reading up on it and understanding each of the skills spoken about and how they coincide with one another. My only criticism is that it’s not necessarily newbie friendly yet (it looks like you may add this to your “Basics and Fundamentals of playing an Elemetalist” section). The guide helps you make yourself better closer to endgame but what about those that are just starting out and know next to nothing about the class and how to level them. Eles are a bit squishy in the beginning. What skills would you recommend they start with? What traits should they start adding points too first? Possibly even the kinds of techniques (defensive, offensive, supportive) they could start using early on; the fundamentals they should practice that will be the foundation of their repertoire which would allow them to branch out more creatively the further along they go. These in themselves could differ a lot compared to what build you’ve recommended nearer to endgame since I would consider it even more so about survival than near cap level. This is asking a whole lot though but I believe it’s something to think about doing.
It would be nice to be able to log on anonymously. I mean sometimes its just nice to want to play and not be bothered or have to respond to others questions or comments.
There are two great swords and even two spears. I was wondering, do they plan on making two of every other legendary weapon? I doubt it but am still curious if this could be a possibility or if this has even been a topic that’s been brought up before, which wouldn’t surprise me either, that the devs have commented on.
double posted sorry. XoS
S/D guide please =D!
I concur. I’d like my ele to be able to use Meteorlogicus some very distant day.
This should definitely get fixed. o.O
Yes, I’m getting tired of hearing the high pitched whining of my slyvari when she is crippled.
Are they? That’s kinda asinine considering that the team members you’re with tends to change after each battle.
Honestly, I think the only part that should be allowed to be scaled from soloing to a 5 party group should be the story mode since it’s the only real part that you don’t get much of anything out of but the story and it always seems difficult to put a party together for one.
How so? I could see a thief using it as an either hand wep. using it as a weapon for blinds and distortions and even an entanglement that acts like a stun leaving the thief to jump in and do major dmg. An elementalist could use it easily for each element (would be interesting to see the effects of each element on the whip) could do decent melee aoe dmgs and heals. Would be a nice change of pace for an engineer to have a melee defese/weapon to go with their shield for survivability being able to reflect projectiles and cause distortions as well as aoe dmg (it’s not likely on an engineer but still doable). I can see guardians/warriors using it for crippling effects on #1 2nd atk 1st & 3rd being dmg and having pulls as well. Rangers and Necros are the only classes I can’t see ideally using it. But I’ve never played either of those classes so suggestions are welcome.
And, once again, the mechanics are already there so why not put it to use?
My ele doesn’t have issues in sPvP as long as it isn’t, like, 1v4 or something stupid. I’ve got sup earth runes and a knight’s amulet. Stats:
Not as buff as my necro or mesmer when I SPvP on them, but it kills faster and survives better in my experience.
Eles may have the lowest base hp but that doesn’t immediately translate into lowest survival. You won’t survive if you sit there trying to tank hits, but that’s not what the class was designed to do. Even if you go D/D and are in melee range, you aren’t just standing there wailing on the dude and still taking hits, you have to move. It’s a really mobile class.
You also have to build around your weaknesses as a player and according to what you’re going to be fighting. If something keeps catching up to you? Bring snares. Hits hard and hits often? Blinds. Poisons, bleeds, burns, etc.? Condition removal. Need a personal tank? Ele glyph will give you some time, a bit more if you’re thinking enough and are able to put out a few heals that hit it.
Like I said, eles are really mobile, and versatile. You should almost always be moving and switching attunements.
Sounds like a fun and challenging class. Think you’ve convinced me to roll an ele next. Btw what’s the mask you have there in the pic as your helm? What does it look like when it’s seen and where is the most likely place to get it?
Really? I’ve only heard of this one most others just seem to be jump to certain areas till you reach the view thing. Guess I’ll be exploring a lot more then. 8^D
Still the dungeon idea would be fun, I would think.
