9 rings in wintersday? - Guild Wars Forums

People are telling me there is 9 rings in wintersday event. Although I'm not convinced and nor do I see where it says 9 rings will open for this event. Since when? Last I checked it was Dragon Festival, Canthan new Year and Birthday of guild wars. Maybe its new I don't know but someone please clarify.

Thanks a bunch.

Perhaps they are referring to the finale event, where Grenth and Dwayna fight it out. That involves a minigame using 2 sets of nine rings

The regular nine-rings (as found on the boardwalk for AFkers young and old alike) isn't a part of the Wintersday festivities.

"The Wintersday Finale is similar to Nine Rings at the Shing Jea Boardwalk but with Candy Cane Shards instead of Festival Tickets. Playing this game counts towards your Lucky and Unlucky title tracks. The center circle gives the most lucky points, whilst the outer circles contribute most to your unlucky title. "

This is from the Wintersday 2008 info. It works similarly, but not the same rates of points, I believe. Still, beats nothing!

It is not 9-Rings per se, but the Grenth v Dwayna is close...different in it's own way, but close...you can go afk and still get stuff...like 9-Rings.

Similar games...different name.

He is my 2 cents.

there is no 9 rings games because the festival goes on for 17 whole days. That would net you quite a lot of lucky points in that time. I believe that I could get a million lucky points in that time if my gold held out.

So ANet will not diminish that title and allow players to get it by simply going afk with enough tickets
