Time for the Guild Wars Canthan New Year
It’s time once again to celebrate the Canthan New Year in Guild Wars. This year it’s the Year of the Tiger, which means more fun and games on the Shing Jea Boardwalk as well as a visit from the Celestial Tiger.
The Canthan New Year festival will kick off this Friday, 12th February, at 8pm GMT, and run until 8pm GMT on Monday, 15th February. The Celestial Tiger will be making his visits every three hours at the height of the festival, on Sunday 14th February.
As well as the Rollerbeetle Racing and Shing Jea Boardwalk games, there will be the usual special quests and missions, which will grant special Festival Rewards.
Smaller scale festivals will be taking place in Kamadan and Lion’s Arch, which have already been decorated for the New Year. Remember though that the special missions, games, and the Celestial Tiger will only be visiting Shing Jea Monastery in Cantha.
Here’s the full list of Festival Rewards which are available from vendors, games, and missions during the Canthan New Year festivities:
 | Sugary Blue Drink It’s sweet and oh-so-handy when you need a quick boost of speed. (for 2 minutes you move 50% faster) Grants +1 point to Sweet Tooth Title Track |
 | Champagne Popper A brief-but-spectacular treat for the eyes and ears. They’re a blast! Grants +1 point to Party Animal Title Track |

Help the Celestial Chefs collect the ingredients to make their offerings to the Celestial Tiger, and then claim your special items and Festival Rewards when he visits.
You can also collect a Celestial Tiger miniature – grab those Lunar Tokens and make sure the Celestial Chefs can cook up a storm for the Celestial Tiger’s visit to Guild Wars in the Canthan New Year.
