Yep, thanks! They apparently forgot to add it Tuesday and have fixed it. But the search box is indeed not working correctly, was the same with Halloween for some reason.
Pretty sure you can accept karma rewards from JP etc after you leave the competitive area, which will make those rewards affected by karma gain. But I can be wrong, of course.
It is! And I'll fore sure try and get one out in the coming weeks. Taken a bit of a break to take care of other stuff, so my vids have gotten delayed a bit :) I plan on releasing things again by the end of the week.
Thanks! The sweater was actually the reward for the 2019 Wintersday, which you can now buy for 15 Snow Diamonds and 14k karma. This is a trend with all festivals by the way, where you can buy the previous rewards, but at a rather steep cost. It does mean you never permanently miss out though. This year you can get the Winter Fur Shoulders (Achievements > Wintersday Traditions > (annual) achievement). As there's 8 achievements and you only need 7, you get to skip 1. I guess most people will probably want to skip the Bell Choir, although if you do it daily 3x, you should get even that one by the end of the festival. If you don't want to look for a group for the dungeon (it's the only one without a public quick join function), and you don't want to solo it, then that would be my recommendation to skip.
Ah yes wintersday, aka the camp the JP festival (for me anyway). The bell choir is extremely annoying for people like me playing from asia/aus/NZ because of our ping - you can hit perfectly and still miss, but the JP is still quite doable at our 350+ ping. I do like the tower defence minigame a lot, but that's because I love tower defence games.
Oh I can imagine, doing Bell Choir with some mild lag is already upsetting. Can't even fathom doing it at 350+ ping. I honestly think I'd even mess up the jumping puzzle. Kudos to you, though, that legit impresses me. There's a Blish HUD module called "Hitbox View" which might actually help you see your character's hitbox adjusted for ping. It doesn't look the prettiest, but I've seen some other Aussie people play with it.
@@phandrel Oh I did SAB trib mode at that ping (with all achievements done) so honestly the wintersday JP is pretty much easy mode in comparison to that. Imagine for instance, when you get into one of the secret rooms in world 2 that requires a spring to exit - that takes over a minute to just exit the damn room because the game keeps thinking I'm still inside the room due to latency when I''ve already hit the hole in the roof with the spring on my end, and the loading screen keeps popping up but I'm still in the room after the loading screen 🤣
@@phandrel I have to preemptively do one or two jumps for clocktower but that one I generally only do a few times every halloween so it never really got too annoying.
Seems like it on the TP, I have no clue how many are in circulation or if there's some form of price setting. But it was included in other event boxes as well, so that might explain things.
@@phandrel Yeah but still X) I'm kinda shocked and if you look at the selling prices on the tp it really does : 7250 -< 5500 -< 4000 and then it dropped below like that's too exagerated
Hey i been waiting for this event since i started playing gw2 few months ago, just for the snowflake gobbler, is it not coming with this event or what?
@lavenderlovee it is now available, but for some reason the search box doesn't work. You can find it by going to utility > utility packs, or scrolling through the promotions tab.
As Lavender mentioned, it's Blish HUD with the "Pathing" module enabled. The arrows itself are from Tekkit. There are quite a few addons for the game, actually. You can check out Blish here: blishhud.com/
the choir event is just plain horrible , i sell the gifts the drop rate for rares is bad, let alone super rares , i farmed around 4k and got not a single super rare and just 2 rare, i know the gifts are free but the RNG is just downright bad
Oh yes, I have to remember to exchange gifts for karma, which I always miss. 😅 Bell Choir is worse than JP. And probably from PvP. And I think that if there were JPs with active PvP, they wouldn't be as irritating as BC... 🤬

I look forward every year to sinking into my chair, sipping a big mug of hot cocoa, while fighting Freezy over and over.
In terms of feel, this is by far the best Festival, in my opinion. Although, I used to do less of Freezy hunting and more of Jumping Puzzling.
appreciate the good content once again, always a pleasure!
Much appreciated!
Great quick summary!
I should have watched it before getting the gathering tools!!
Merry Christmas/New Years!
Happy holidays to you as well!
man i forgot how fun wintersday is, during halloween i was like "this is the pnly festival i like" and now im likd "omg i love wintersday" 😂
Wait till you see my Dragon Bash video 🤣
Pretty sure you can accept karma rewards from JP etc after you leave the competitive area, which will make those rewards affected by karma gain. But I can be wrong, of course.
Oh, I'm gonna test that! That'd be pretty nuts.
This is correct. But you do auto-open chests when you have 4 or more.
Yeah, I'm doing some stuff on other characters as well and logg to my buffed character to accept the karma chests :D
If u do jp, and leave area to use karma boosting it will NOT boost it bc system remember that u did jp without booster. Tried in the past.
Dont forget to recieve your daily Tixx's gift from Tixx in Divinity's Reach! He stands right next to the Infinirarium entrance :)
Hey Phandrel, would you ever make a Willbender farm video? :) Isn't it one of the better open world specs, or do you just not like it?
It is! And I'll fore sure try and get one out in the coming weeks. Taken a bit of a break to take care of other stuff, so my vids have gotten delayed a bit :) I plan on releasing things again by the end of the week.
@@phandrel That sounds great. :) No pressure. We will look forward to it.
Great video,kudos,keep it up 👍
They confirmed on forum that missing gobbler is a bug and they are working on it to make it available :)
Awesome, thanks for letting us know! I'm still missing that one myself 😅
Thank you for this video 😊
curious for a new player, what are the 7 easiest events to finish to make sure you get the festive sweater...great content btw

@@Somebody374-bv8cd Oh god, that's a real challenge in itself. I imagine the Clocktower JP during Halloween has some spicy moments too.
@@phandrel I have to preemptively do one or two jumps for clocktower but that one I generally only do a few times every halloween so it never really got too annoying.
Did the enchanted music box prize's just drop from 6000 to 2500 in few weeks?

It's currently not in the store, but it might get added later. I'll most likely post something in my Community tab, as well as Discord, when it is.
@phandrel Ok that'll be great, much appreciate it 🙏
@lavenderlovee it is now available, but for some reason the search box doesn't work. You can find it by going to utility > utility packs, or scrolling through the promotions tab.
How did you got the arrows that show the route at 1:40?
Blish hud or taco add on
@@lavenderlovee there is addons for the game? sorry im new...

@@phandrel amazing! thank you!
one question...why is the price of the Elite Jump Start in my cash shop is 1920 gems? but yours is 1684?
maybe its dynamic depending on the items alrady owned?
@@SPECTR_Eternal hm mine is 1920 as well and I own some of the stuff in it
As @SPECTR_Eternal mentioned, I am maxed out on Shared Inventory Slots. So I get a price w/o those, as they would be wasted on my account.
the choir event is just plain horrible , i sell the gifts the drop rate for rares is bad, let alone super rares , i farmed around 4k and got not a single super rare and just 2 rare, i know the gifts are free but the RNG is just downright bad
Yeah, in general any event gifts/boxes are more consistent gold if you sell them, instead of opening them.
Oh yes, I have to remember to exchange gifts for karma, which I always miss. 😅
Bell Choir is worse than JP. And probably from PvP. And I think that if there were JPs with active PvP, they wouldn't be as irritating as BC... 🤬
Oh, I agree. The amount of trolling you can already in Sanctum Sprint wouldn't translate well to the JP.
