How many Birthday cakes did you get this weekend? - Guild Wars Forums

Prowlinger · Apr 30, 2007, 01:29 PM // 13:29

I played quite a bit this weekend... alot of solo (+4 heroes) in NF and some group quests in various countries...

I only got a total of 11... (Seems the drops are very rare)

What did you all score?

The Real Avalon · Apr 30, 2007, 01:31 PM // 13:31

I got around 70, but 67 off of rollerbeetle racing

RTSFirebat · Apr 30, 2007, 01:32 PM // 13:32

Drops - 8
Via Tokens - 10

Got tired of grinding and just got 250 for 50K. As gold is easier to come by then cupcakes.

They should have made them drop more often.

Etta · Apr 30, 2007, 01:34 PM // 13:34

I got 62, all from drop while solo farm. Couldn't be arse to play all those mini games.

Ec]-[oMaN · Apr 30, 2007, 01:35 PM // 13:35

over 200...caugh.

Giga Strike · Apr 30, 2007, 01:42 PM // 13:42

i got 11 out of dragon arena.

Mr. G · Apr 30, 2007, 01:45 PM // 13:45

bout 50ish, 40 drops - 10 tokens....those drop rates really sucked, then again theres still time to get more!

Jetdoc · Apr 30, 2007, 01:47 PM // 13:47

I got 37 or so simply by playing the game. Luckily, my ranger just made it over to Prophecies, so soloing the early missions produced quite a bit of them.

free_fall · Apr 30, 2007, 01:48 PM // 13:48

~25, all as drops - I tend to shun the festivals

Thel Thoi · Apr 30, 2007, 01:48 PM // 13:48

Drops = 21 doing H/H quests & missions primarily in the crystal desert.

Abarra · Apr 30, 2007, 01:48 PM // 13:48

20 all drops, yeah low drop rate, now I'm saving mine for the end of NF

Marth Reynolds · Apr 30, 2007, 02:03 PM // 14:03

Got 152 atm, dropped during my farm runs and drop rate seems to be related to a area. Gates of kryta dropped quite a lot of these for me

eightyfour-onesevenfive · Apr 30, 2007, 02:24 PM // 14:24

This question is a little premature, as they're still dropping for another four and a half hours or so.

That said, I'm at 86 right now, but intend to increase that number.

AW Lore · Apr 30, 2007, 02:48 PM // 14:48

got a full stack of 250 +some more that i got after that, if im lucky ill get back and they'll still keep dropping for me

Soul of the Scythe · Apr 30, 2007, 02:50 PM // 14:50

I got around 160 from drops. Vanquished North Kryta Province, Nebo Terrace, Talmark, Tears of the Fallen, Majesty's Rest, and Sage Lands while america had favor. Dropped a shitload more often when america had favor(on average just under 1 per group)

Painbringer · Apr 30, 2007, 03:18 PM // 15:18

Started a character from scratch in Nightfall this weekend made it to level 16 before I quit. Killed anything and everything in my path and only 9 b-day cakes ouch. Saw people spamming 250 b-day cakes for sale and thought WTF am I doing wrong??????????

Soul of the Scythe · Apr 30, 2007, 03:30 PM // 15:30

Did you ahve henchies with you?? Because they probably got ur cupcakes. Try solo-ing, you will get more b/c Cupcakes(as with all event items) are not subject to the new loot scaling policy. I did it when i had favor and got a lot more.

Stomphoof · Apr 30, 2007, 03:32 PM // 15:32

I got 1! Whats it for?

teenchi · Apr 30, 2007, 03:36 PM // 15:36

3 . . . sniff
I just played and quested as usual, no farming or games.

Bane of Worlds · Apr 30, 2007, 03:41 PM // 15:41

around 22 cupcakes as drops and I do not plan to gain more thru farming as I have around 430k of luck points(last time I checked few hours ago...) and I plan to get to 500k lucky points before this event is over with. sorry but I do not like leaving my pc on at nights :P
