Cupcakes - Guild Wars Forums

No, this is not a complaint thread.

Anyway, just out of curiosity, has anybody been getting any cupcake drops? I was out running around with a guildie in a few areas and neither of us had any drop. So, just wondering about the success of others.

Soul Echo · Apr 27, 2007, 09:01 PM // 21:01

Please, I would like to farm some cupcakes! Going to try farming without Tiny and see if it was just him, lol.

I was soloing in all 3 chapters for about 2 hours and got 0 cupcakes

viper008 · Apr 27, 2007, 09:12 PM // 21:12

I bet that the cupcakes will come at midnight Anets time zone when the first fireworks goes off.

Exterminate all · Apr 27, 2007, 09:27 PM // 21:27

I don't even think cupcakes are out yet...

Mister_Smiley · Apr 27, 2007, 09:35 PM // 21:35

they start droping the 28th, i though it was now, but after reading the site again, its tommarow, so ya when the first set of fireworks goes off like viper said they should start droping, but you can get them from the boardwalk and tokens right now.

All weekend long, you will find special Birthday Cupcakes during your adventures as well as through ticket exchange on the Boardwalk.

As I read it, they should have started dropping when the event began.

Yeah, but the weekend doesn't really start till midnight.

Soul Echo · Apr 27, 2007, 09:59 PM // 21:59

Usually, the special event drops start at noon on Friday, so we were surprised they didn't start dropping then this time. Oh well! Plenty of other stuff to do until they start dropping! /gamble

All weekend events have been starting the 12:01 pdt on Fridays

Kook~NBK~ · Apr 27, 2007, 10:10 PM // 22:10

Yeah, I'm surprised they haven't started dropping yet. Ah well, time to get other things going.

As of late yes for several months but not every singel one over the history of GW, Guild Wars doesn't OFFICIALLY turn 2 till midnight and thats when they will have the fire works.

Pkest · Apr 27, 2007, 10:31 PM // 22:31

according to a similar thread on gwo, Gaile has said in chat that a new build will come soon that will add them as drops.

Sir Skullcrasher · Apr 27, 2007, 10:40 PM // 22:40

I can't wait to get some cupcakes tomorrow!

Nice to know.

Sun Fired Blank · Apr 28, 2007, 09:04 AM // 09:04

As of 3:00 A.M. EST, I was receiving cupcake drops, but I wasn't overly impressed. I had some rather mediocre returns from traditional farming locations (e.g. Nolani). I think I farmed 20 cupcakes in a hour, if that?

Kelsey Cain · Apr 28, 2007, 10:42 AM // 10:42

cupcakes would appear to be part of loot scaling as drop rates when soloing are indeed very low.

wmtyrance · Apr 28, 2007, 10:55 AM // 10:55

I got 2 drops last night. Also saw players selling them for 800 or 900 gold each.

Sun Fired Blank · Apr 28, 2007, 11:36 AM // 11:36

They aren't part of loot scaling. My experience is that cupcakes are dropped about as often as bunnies or eggs dropped last easter. Also, the update explicitly states that special event items are exempt from loot scaling. Also, the prices for cupcakes have stabilized, for now, around 400 gold, and I'd expect them to drop lower over the next few hours.

I would dispute that - They may indeed not supposed to be part of loot scaling but given that they forgot to turn them on in the first place, it is entirely possible they forgot to exempt them from loot scaling as well.
