Yes, I know, it's far in the future but it never hurts to come prepared. I have started to save, on one of my storage character, the ingredients required for the dishes at the Canthan New Year (event around the end of January - beginning of February). I have indicated how many I have of these and I will update the list regularly. I think we should aim at 6 to 8 for each one, at least, 10-12 would be great, we could sponsor more than 1 district if needed. (For those in the US I can give the ingredients to someone who would be willing to do it while we are asleep here in Europe) Some are more difficult to get than others, marked with * . If you come across one of those, think about it. Everyone will benefit if we have all the ingredients for several events. Iridescent Griffon Wing 24 Tangled Seed 33 Fiery Crest 12 Smoking Remains 15 Alpine Seed 46 Guardian Moss 8 *Celestial Essence 33 Dragon Root 23 Archaic Kappa Shell 15 Mantis Pincer 34 Kraken Eye 16 Naga Hide 17 Igneous Spider Leg 18 Ebon Spider Leg 39 Bonesnap Shell 10 Azure Crest 13 Unctuous Remains 19 Truffle 14 Ebon Spider Web 19 Half-Eaten Blob 25 Azure Remains 61 Icy Lodestone 40 **updated list Jan 29, 2010** For those who do not know what The Canthan New Year is, here is a link about the event earlier this year. wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Canthan_New_Year_2009or guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Canthan_New_Year_2009

Ebon spider web, drop from lava spitters , in the Ring of Fire islands (Perdition rock particularly) Igneous spider leg, drop from lava spitters , in the Ring of Fire islands (Perdition rock particularly) Fiery crest, dropped by drakes in the Ring of Fire islands (Perdition rock particularly) Smoking remains, dropped by nightmares in the Ring of Fire islands (Perdition rock particularly) Unctuous remains, dropped by phantoms in the Ring of Fire islands (Perdition rock particularly)

(For those in the US I can give the ingredients to someone who would be willing to do it while we are asleep here in Europe) Umm, wonder who that would be? It's me or the guy from Texas. I think that's it in the way of US members at the moment. I'd be more than glad to do it if my work schedule permits me. I'll also be more careful about salvaging my drops from now on until the required materials are acquired. How much would it take of each to host a district for a whole day? If you need me, I'll be at Perdition Rock .

Wow, this is going to be harder than I thought. I cleared that whole map (nm) and didn't get a single drop of anything on that list. Money was good though.

yes, some of the items rarely drop indeed . But we have half a year to do that, so no panic. And by posting early, I am sure we'll have enough when the time comes. So you all know what items are rare , this would benefit everyone in the guild, and even our allies . Sam from Myst used to do it, but it is unclear what will happen next year. So I took the liberty to save those items for next year. There is no need to go farming those right now, but if you get one while doing quests or missions in that area, leave a message here or pm me in game (Loreena Blue). Farming, we'll do in January, if we don't have enough. There are many elite skills in Perdition Rock and the missions, so people might get drops while capping in this area.

Anyway, there is no pressure to do it, but if someone wants to, I am more than willing to hand in the material at the time. There is no reason that people on the other side of the water should be at a disadvantage in our guild. We need 9 of each to host a disctrict for the entire day (event every 3 hours, starting at 12amPST-8amGMT one day and finishing at 12amPST-8amGMT the next day). Having a few more means that we could host 2 districts in the event that one district would be full. I think it's rather unlikely though.

I have 11 Half-Eaten Blobs for the pile. I'll give them to you or 1 of the other officers next time I'm on when y'all are too.

Thanks for the thought James, but as it is now, I think I have over 20 half-eaten blobs. I have to thanks Nick for that, having to farm 75 or so bog skale finns (3 accounts) for the gifts gave me plenty of half-eaten blobs . So you can merch them James - don't you need money, like everybody? - but again thanks very much for the thought . Those I still have problems with are the items from the Ring of Fire islands. I got almost nothing when I did the bounty (Maxine Coldstone or Harn) with 2 characters recently. Even in Hard mode they don't drop much, I just got one fiery crest I think, and money of course. Those don't drop often, as you said earlier. We still have several months before the event anyway.

The Canthan New Year is approaching, it usually takes place around the end of January-beginning of February. I thought I would post a little reminder... We've managed to gather a good number of items for the Chefs' dishes. Thanks to all who contributed!!! but we're still a bit short of the following items: Smoking Remains 3 * Ring of Fire Islands, Prophecies Igneous Spider Leg 2 * Ring of Fire Islands Ebon Spider Web 3 * Ring of Fire Islands Bonesnap Shell 3 * Shing Jea Island, Factions Of these, we probably have enough, but it could be nice to have 2-3 more. Fiery Crest 7 * Ring of Fire Islands, Prophecies Guardian Moss 8 * Jade Sea, Factions Archaic Kappa Shell 6 * Jade sea Being able to create all 5 dishes gives all players present in the district 16 red gift bags and 5 crates of fireworks. **updated list Nov 22nd, 2009** For those who do not know what The Canthan New Year is, here is a link about the event earlier this year. wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Canthan_New_Year_2009or guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Canthan_New_Year_2009

I just went farming for Bonesnap Shells, have 7 in my Xunlai now. That should cover it. But we still need the Ring of Fire Islands items. And Canthan New Year is coming soon, so we'll have to get busy Katja. * got 4 smoking remains as well. This was a bit harder.

I too have tried farming to help in the collecting effort but alas was less successful.....
Katya may recall my sad efforts at surviving out on the lump of rock called perdition but it tended to get quite exciting with a smear of red dots and a countdown to resurrection.
My new armour will make all the difference I'm sure. And I need to check with Frank if can personalise my shiney axe!
I have the fruitcake and eggnog and stuff if that helps?

Thank you for your effort Moonchild, I know they are difficult to get !! But we do appreciate your effort. There is no obligation to bring anything, no quota, and there will never be. I have updated the list above, but here are the items we have the least of Igneous Spider Leg 2 *Ebon Spider Web 3 *and those, but we might actullay have enough with 7 or 8 Fiery Crest 7 *Smoking Remains 8 *Guardian Moss 8 *Archaic Kappa Shell 7 *Anything not used this year will be kept for next year of course, so it is not lost

Spoke to Katya and Aline earlier on about doing a joint event. Having hosted the last few years I've always aimed for 18 of each item, which should be enough for 2 districts each event. I've never come close to making it. In the past MYST has hosted 5-6 events as the rest have fallen outside our timezone, so 7-8 should be enough. At any rate here is MYST's current stockpile:
Imperial Chef Yan (Appetizer) * Iridescent Griffon Wings 14 * Tangled Seeds 17 * Fiery Crests 8 * Smoking Remains 8 Imperial Chef Reun (Salad) * Alpine Seeds 15 * Guardian Moss 18 * Celestial Essences 25 * Dragon Roots 14 Imperial Chef Jiong (Soup) * Archaic Kappa Shells 10 * Mantis Pincers 14 * Kraken Eyes 8 * Naga Hides 13 Imperial Chef Chen (Main Course) * Igneous Spider Legs 23 * Ebon Spider Legs 18 * Bonesnap Shells 8 * Azure Crests 5 * Unctuous Remains 3 Imperial Chef Tian (Dessert) * Truffles 4 * Ebon Spider Webs 4 * Half-Eaten Blobs 13 * Azure Remains 18 * Icy Lodestones 20
As you can see we're over quota on some items and under on others. I'd be happy to look after/run out of normal hours events if that would benefit some players
Hopefully I can be of some help,
Sam

Goog job everyone who contributed to the Canthan New Year items hunt!!
As you can see on the updated list, you've done really well, guys. Don't worry about the items we have at least 15 of, I doubt that we'll need so many I'll keep everything until next year anyway, so it's not lost.
