I got staff skin, obviously I wont be using it on sylvari's staff. I may sell it.

Guybrush, is there a good guide to the Winter's Celebration that you know of?

Just http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Wintersday_2012

Each day the dungeon gives a different toy frame, needed to make a mini pet, but not enough of the other ingredients to make one. Takes 3 dungeons, once a day for 3 days, to get enough to make one mini. Fourth and fifth days will give enough to make a second mini. Each day the minis are added to the gem store. So if you really want all five you can forge 2 and buy 3.

The Grove: Ventari Frame
Divinity's Reach: Princess Doll Frame
The Black Citadel: Toy Soldier Frame
Hoelbrak: Plush Griffon Frame?
Rata Sum: Toy Golem Frame?

If you miss any one the will all be available starting the 20th in Lion's Arch.

Hoelbrak and Rata Sum toys are my guesses based on the slots in the bank.

I just forged Ventari. I took extra wading. Tomorrow I will take glue. After Wednesdays dungeon run I'll be able to forge another mini.

Thanks Guybrush. How does one find a group to dungeon with?

For these wintersday dungeons I just type "LFG Tixx" in chat while standing next to dungeon entrance. Something similar with any other dungeon. Some people look for dungeon groups in Lion's Arch which doesn't make sense to me since the other dungeons are out in the world.

Thanks Guybrush

Forged Toy Soldier. SO I have Ventair and Toy Soldier. Tomorrow afternoon when I get off work (assuming I'm not snowed in and just stay home) I'll see what happens in Lion's Arch.

Congratulations! Come back and let us know.

If you do the dungeon in Lion's Arch it asks which you are going for. If you've already done the dungeons in the previous towns than it doesn't matter what you pick at the end you'll just get a choice between different size Wintersday bags. The smaller begs have less chances of the good stuff you get more bags. The Giant bag has a chance at better stuff but you only get 1 so the odds are against you. I just get the ugly stuff which I sell of in the gems store.

If you talk to Tixx in Lion's Arch (not in the dungeon) he gives gifts.

I got 200 cogs, 3 Unsafe Wintersday Bags (gives Wintersday weapon skins, 1 Toymaker's Bag and a 15 slot Gift Box.

The bag is goes in your armor back brace slot, It gives +2 Toughness and +2 Healing, with an empty upgrade slot. The Gift Box adds 15 slots to your inventory. Cogs, These items are all account bound. The toy skins from the Unsafe bags are not bound so you can sell them.

I got 2 Toy Staff Skins and 1 Pop Gun Skin.

Sounds like a nice haul.

They changed it. Now Tixx won't give the gifts until the finale.

Ahhh well you got in on the early gifts then.

Actually I got the email gift too. So now I have 450 cogs, but don't have the wadding needed to make 3rd mini pet. I do have the glue. Supposedly you can get wadding from Wintersday gifts but all they ever give me is ugly stuff.

on getting the wadding
