Cantha New Year 2008

[WarBlade]

It's that time of year again!

The Canthan "Year of the Rat" is upon us and with it the weekend event of celebration and merriment. Obviously all the usuals are in place. Quests, mini games, random drops and so forth. But heads up! We've got some collecting to do if we want to stand a chance at getting an as yet unpublicized prize...

Imperial Chef Yan (Appetizers)	Imperial Chef Reun (Salad)	Imperial Chef Jiong (Soup)	Imperial Chef Chen (Main Course)	Imperial Chef Tian (Dessert)
Iridescent Griffon Wing Tangled Seed Fiery Crest Smoking Remains	Alpine Seed Guardian Moss Celestial Essence Dragon Root	Archaic Kappa Shell Mantis Pincer Kraken Eye Naga Hide	Igneous Spider Leg Ebon Spider Leg Bonesnap Shell Azure Crest Unctuous Remains	Truffle Ebon Spider Web Half-Eaten Blob Azure Remains Icy Lodestone

I have Reun's salad recipe covered twice. I should theoretically be at the first two event finales.

A fair number of us got about half the other items, but the rewards are paltry. You get 1 token for turning in an ingredient. The district gets:

16 red bags
5 crates of fireworks (sets off big fireworks in the guild hall)
1 lion mask (identical to last year's)
NO MINI

So stock up on lunar fortunes if you want your celestial rat.
