Can't be sure, but I suspect that was it.

We're finally at our fourth anniversary! We couldn't have come this far without each and every one of you, so in addition to our upcoming Fourth Year Anniversary Update, we're throwing a big party in your honor.

The festivities begin on Thursday, April 23 after the live update and run until noon on Wednesday, April 29.

Tuesday, April 28
Starting at 12:01 AM Pacific on Tuesday, April 28, characters turning four will find a gift in their inventories that has a new miniature from this year's birthday series

So they are seperate updates.

Wow, my first two Vaettir farms, all this stuff:

Please dont nerf, I want my Gwamm and consumable titles are the hardest / most expensive thing I have left

by the way.... shouldnt they add golden eggs, those also give treasure hunt a small boost
golden eggs = sugar + treasure hunt, thats 2 titles for HoM = people sooner to GW2, right?

for me its fun to get that title that way (and with keys), and farm em in pre sear, but others will also have their points for GW2

Right. Please read the context of the post i was replying to. I'm not implying that 7th year gifts will be minis.

bhavv · Apr 25, 2012, 12:37 AM // 00:37

Yea I knew that, I was pointing it out for others due to people being confused.

wait for update, search .dat for the new files, update will probably be 26th/27th since characters turn 7 on 28th

It looks like they've opened up every weekend event for this party. The ones I've checked so far:

EotN Rep points - doubled points per kill
Kurzick/Luxon points - doubled points for turn-ins
Lightbringer/Sunspear - doubled points per kill
Skill Capping - doubled XP for caps (safe to assume double lockpick drops?)

This plus the GW2 BWE...How am I going to get any sleep over the next two weeks?!

**cosyfiep** · Apr 25, 2012, 01:47 AM // 01:47

no help for those of us sloggging thru chests ....so I guess I will just afk on the rings instead

This will be my first birthday event and I have a question. Will I be receiving anything for a birthday present even though my account isn't even at least one year of age? Or will the only benefit for me during this event, be all the special drops from monsters? Thanks.

fires element · Apr 25, 2012, 02:01 AM // 02:01

you won't get a b-day present until your account/character turns one. so yes your only benefit is to farm the crap out of stuff dropped from monsters

I see, thanks for providing the answer.

Uzur9 · Apr 25, 2012, 02:49 AM // 02:49

The Bday mini I think will be Hound of Balth

Dude, this is awesome! Super high drop rates AND the most awesome looking pet the game has ever seen! I still have to vanquish parts of Cantha so now I'm going to do it on a massive sugar fueled drunken binge with my flaming dog by my side. Kudos on the awesome new pet (looks to use the Temple Guardian/Nian model) and the very festive decision to throw consumables at us, you guys rock! Also, it's awesome that they started early and go for such a long time! I was genuinely worried about the cross over with the BWE but man you guys have got all bases covered with this one.

Much love to Stumme (especially for that quick Z coin saving post he made) and the whole Live Team for giving our final GW1 pre GW2 birthday celebration the bang it deserves and it seems as if we haven't seen everything the game has to offer yet!

Genuinely excited!

I'm guessing if there was going to be a costume it would have gone live by now?

Yeah it's insane. Better bring merchant summoning stones with you

tenderpoison · Apr 25, 2012, 06:13 AM // 06:13

This anniversary totally rocks! Thanks Anet! I was shocked when I did my first vaettir farm for today and all those drops started raining on me. Now I'm asking how am I going to get that much space in my inventory, cause so far it seems the inventory will get full in like 3 runs or so.

But anyways, a big thanks to ANET for making this anniversary as it is and I bet it will help a lot of people in getting points toward their HoM! P.S. Love the Hound of Balthazar (don't play ranger much, but this pet made me play my ranger again).

Can't type... Farming!
