Renegade ++RIP++ · Jun 29, 2006, 10:45 AM // 10:45

yes you need orbs for the masks, how many is still for grabs.

xiaokai · Jun 29, 2006, 10:51 AM // 10:51

Renegade ++RIP++ · Jun 29, 2006, 11:09 AM // 11:09

Fire Rm · Jun 29, 2006, 11:12 AM // 11:12

odly · Jun 29, 2006, 11:24 AM // 11:24

Do they drop everywhere or only on monstary island ?
Do they drop in Tyria ?

Renegade ++RIP++ · Jun 29, 2006, 11:26 AM // 11:26

not in tyria, but everywhere in cantha.

as there is proof that they drop outside of maatu keep from one of the ogres

Slick Nick · Jun 29, 2006, 01:57 PM // 13:57

Now you said that orbs are random are they in PvP or PvE?

Hockster · Jun 29, 2006, 02:06 PM // 14:06

Does *anything* drop in PvP?

Slick Nick · Jun 29, 2006, 02:11 PM // 14:11

good point

for a time stuff was dropped from the fire golems at the fire guild hall

Vahn Roi · Jun 29, 2006, 03:41 PM // 15:41

Kind of offtopic, but what was the drop rate for CC shards during the Winter's Day event? Maybe it will be the same for orbs?

Taking place in and around the Shing Jea Monastery on June 30, 2006 at 7:00 GMT and running through July 5, 2006 at 7:00 GMT, the Dragon Festival is an exclusive weekend event for Guild Wars Factions players.

According to the Guild Wars web site the festival will take place in the Shing Jea Monastery which is on the starter island. As far as I know Tryian characters can not go there. (unless this has changed?) It does say in and around Shing Jea Monastery so maybe some of the festival will be in The Marketplace or Kaineng Center. Hopefully that will be the case.

Tyrian characters can go to the Monastery. I think it's always been like that. They just can't access areas such as the starter area where you first meet your character.
I've seen Tyrian characters with 100% Map Titles, so it's possible. I'll show you if you want.

Rahl · Jun 29, 2006, 04:16 PM // 16:16

Actually Anet just recently "unlocked" the Shing Jea Island for Tyrian characters, but not much to do there except explore.

Caelus The Fallen · Jun 29, 2006, 04:26 PM // 16:26

No, they recently unlocked the Islands *missions*, the island itself has always been accessible, thats how Tyrian characters were able to get Tengu masks during the head-start event back in April.

Yes you can... see below:

Cathan Grandmaster Cartographer title! With my Tyria Ranger mind you

Your completed map is the same as mine, minus a few Cathan only areas.

So it is possible to get 100% with a Tryia Character.

tommarrow · Jun 29, 2006, 06:13 PM // 18:13

You can do the missions on the island with your tyrian character you just dont get the mission rewards. You have always had access to th eisland but not the missions until the recent change. It is the same thing with Canthan characters going to Tyria. You can now do all of the missions you just don't get the reward for anything before Lion's Arch.

Lilandra · Jun 29, 2006, 06:47 PM // 18:47

According to the update notes from yesterday, 2 new quests were added related to the festival, for Cantha characters only. I have not been able to locate these quests, nor have I been able to find someone else who has. Are these quests simply not in yet, despite the update notes, or am I just looking in the wrong places?
Thanks!

Naqser · Jun 29, 2006, 07:05 PM // 19:05

i got some questions

1. Do the orbs drop one and one or can they drop several in a bunch?

2. Do they drop for tyrian characters?

3. If tyrian characters can access shig jae monastery, does that mean that they too can get a mask? Or will the mask giver be a "racist" and turn down Tyrians?
