Woot, my Factions warrior Shy Samurai, just got Miniature Mad King Thorn for his 3rd birthday. That's first green (rare) birthday mini I ever got.

Got 4 birthdays in April, would be nice if one them would get the gold White Rabbit.

April Fools Day 2011 Arenanet added a solo quest featuring a commando (joke GW2 profession) from the future who sends you back in time to save Gwen's mother, before Gwen is born, from a golem sent by the charr. For 2012 that quest is back along with a new one, Annilator 2: Searing Day - the charr have set a golem back in time to kill Gwen as a child. You control another golem sent to save her. At one point you'll meet your past self. There are a number of optional encounters which give items needed later for Keiran Thackery's scavanger hunt. Keiran and Gwen eventually marry.

Both quests are repeatable. You just leave Embark Beach and then return to it. Or just change districts.

Guild Wars 7th Anniversary - kind of bad this week, starting today, is the celebration of Guild Wars: Prophesies 7th anniversary (April 28th), but the Guild Wars 2 Beta Event Weekend will also be running, starting Friday afternoon.

I got my Hounds of Balthazar, ranger pet. This is a tease for Guild Wars 2 elite skill that summons Hounds of Balthazar.

Ranger pet wont show up in towns or guild hall but otherwise it can always be with you. Its first pet that does fire damage. It starts out at level 5 though so needs leveling it. Guild member suggested that before charming it for pet, I attack it so it will fight me and let it kill me repeatedly so it gainx experience. I tried that and all though text turned red meaning it should be aggressive it wouldn't fight back.

The NPC you talk to has 3 other friends that don't do anything. She didn't until now either. So I'm wondering if each year for next 3 years, assuming people still play Guild Wars 1, they're be new pets, one water (cold damage), one air (lightning damage) and one earth.

Anniversary is running through May 8th.

In addition to the normal Birthday Cupcake drops this year consumable items from all holidays are dropping.

For first 5 years a character's Birthday Present will contain a miniature pet unique to that birthday. For 6th year an everlasting tonic instead of a mini. For 7th year the birthday presents are giving presents from previous years.

My oldest characters are 4 years old.

In Guild Wars 1 the Dragon Festival is this weekend, starts in about an hour. New this year is a quest the completion of which will allow the acquiring of one hat from either previous years Dragon Festivals or the Day of the Tengu, which was a one time only festival. Unlike other quests which are once per character this one is apparently once per account per year. The reason there doing this is that with most of the Arenanet staff working on Guild Wars 2 they will no longer be able to produce new hats each year so they're making old hats available instead.


Okay: new quest is to get 250 Victory Tokens by doing other festival quests. The reward is an Imperial Mask token which you turn in for a mask. In past years you got a new hat during the festival finale if you had 250 Victory Tokens.

For those people who have been playing since the beginning and already have all the masks there is a Dragon Festival Grab Bag, which (based on what other people have said) will give an items worth 250 drunkard points or 250 party animal points or 250 sweet tooth points.

Apparently something similar will be happening for Halloween and Wintersday. That is if anyone still playing GW1 after August 28th.

After a lot of agonizing over what previous year's mask to take I took the tengu mask, from the Day of the Tengu, a one time only festival that took place in 2006.

I'm glad you got one you liked. Sometimes those decisions are so hard to make.

July 13, 14, 15 2012 will be Wintersday In July. There will be Wintersday drops and snowball fights but none of the quests and towns will not be decorated. Last Guild Wars 1 holiday before Guild Wars 2 launch. In September GW1 will have Talk Like a Pirate Day, whether GW2 will I don't know. It may not have holidays at start. The next big holiday for GW1 will be Halloween, but it sounds like no new masks/hats this year.

Speaking of Guild Wars 2, I'll be posting on it later today. I already have news about the soundtrack being available for purchase, but waiting for the blog that's supposed to be posted today on whats featured in the final Beta Weekend Event. Another website leaked the news but I'm waiting for official announcement.

John Stumme’s Guide to the Hall of Monuments - there's a video on the bottom, does he even look old enough to have been working 7 years? That's how long he's been with Arenanet. Right now he's the one in charge of maintaining and adding to Guild Wars 1, although there isn't much adding since the company's resources are being spent on Guild Wars 2.

Forge Your GW2 Legacy with Guild Wars Platinum Edition - Guild Wars: Prophecies & Eye of the North for about half of what it cost 5 years ago.

Kissa Nimbleclaw in Elite Charr Hide Armor (dyed silver) - this is my human warrior that's holding the name for my charr thief to be in Guild Wars 2. Using the name in Guild Wars 1 reserves it for Guild Wars 2.

Kissa Nimbleclaw charr thief - and roughly what the charr version in Guild Wars 2 will look like (I didn't do any customizing for beta but you cant tell with that armor anyway).

Elite Luxon Armor on Shy Samurai getting this warrior armor and adding it to Hall of Memorials got me the last armor point I needed, taking me to a total of 48 points. Those last two points will be the hardest as all I have left is maxing titles. I need four more maxed titles to get to 49, nine to get to 50.

My elementalist just needs 1 more maxed title to get the Rainbow Phoenix to appear in his HOM. Vanquishing last four places in the Eye oft the North would do it but all together thats over 1000 monsters to kill, in hard mode.

Guild Wars 1 ranger pets:

A GW1 ranger may have only 1 pet at a time (GW2 allows 2 active ones but you can charm all of them and then pick the 2 active ones). Pets either do slashing or piercing damage except for the Hound of Balthazar which is the only pet to do fire damage (its a tease for a Guild Wars 2 elite skill which summons a burning hound).

Prohpecies:
Black Bear
Dune Lizard
Lynx
Melandru's Stalker (Melandru goddess of nature's favorite animal)
Moa Bird (sort of like an ostrich)
Warthog
Wolf


Factions:
Black Moa (only 1 appears at a time and only after a speacific quest)
Crane
Lurker (crab)
Phoenix (appears only after completing Factions)
Reef Lurker (two types red and blue)
Tiger
White Tiger


Nightfall:
Crocodile
Flamingo
Hyena
Jahai Rat
Lion
Lioness
Warthog

Eye of the North:
Albino Rat
BLack Bear
Black Wolf
Iguana
Jingle Bear (only available for charming during Christmas and after a quest)
Moa Bird
Mountain Eagle
Polar Bear
Raven
Warthog
White Crab
White Jingle Moa (only available for charming during Christmas and after a quest)
White Moa (appears at random in a flock and runs away quickly)
White Wolf


Exotic:
Black Widow Spider(only available in the Underworld after quests)
Hounds of Balthazar (became available for the Seventh Anniversay Celebration in Zaishen Menagerie Grounds, only pet to do fire damage)
Moss Spider (requires a spider's egg from Nicholas The Traveler to make appear in Zaishen Menagerie Grounds)
Panda (requires Imperial Panda License from Winds of Change Factions quest line to make appear in Zaishen Menagerie Grounds)
Rainbow Phoenix (appears in HOM after maxing 10 titles)

Notes:
1) Most pets can be made in availbe in Zaishen Menagerie Grounds by purchasing (with real money) the pet unlocking kit. Other wise you have to charm them all one at a time and release in Zaishen Menagerie Grounds. Exotic pets are not included in the kit. Black Moa, Jingle Bear,Phoenix, White Jingle Moa also not included.

2) All pets, including exotic ones can be purchased with Zaishen coins or Balthazar Factions at the Zaishen Menagerie Grounds, though doing so only gives you a level 5 version.
Anyone who did not get Hounds of Balthazar during the 7th anniversay can only get it now by using Zaishen coins or Balthazar faction.

3) If you charm a pet in the wild, get it to level 20 and release it into Zaishen Menagerie Grounds you will receive 100 gold and if that pet was not already in your Zaishen Menagerie Grounds it will be now become available for recharming later. Releasing a pet of less than level 20 will not get you any gold. Releasing a pet you got from Zaishen Menagerie Grounds back into Zaishen Menagerie Grounds will gain you nothing it will just allow you pick a different animal to charm.

4) Each player has their own Zaishen Menagerie Grounds, which only the player and their heroes may enter. They don't want people who haven't either bought the animals or earned them playing the game to have access to them.

Guybrush, are the pets battle companions or just decorative?

Ranger pets fight for your ranger character.

There are also miniatures aka mini pets that are just decorative. Longer list of those. Don't know if they're more than decoration in Guild Wars 2 yet.

I just vanquised Bjora Marches, 465 foes. So I think I underestimated how many monsters I have to kill in vanquishing 4 areas in Nightfall.
