Toymaker Tixx Returns To Divinity’s Reach As Wintersday Arrives In Guild Wars 2
Toymaker Tixx has returned to Divinity’s Reach to spread holiday cheer as Guild Wars 2 kicks off its annual Wintersday celebration. This year’s winter event will feature the usual lineup of activities and mini-games with new meta-achievements thrown in to keep players busy. Toypocolypse has also been updated to make the defense mini-game a little bit easier to complete.
“Bring the cheer of Wintersday to the distant north in the Secret Lair of the Snowmen, complete daily achievements to earn fanciful holiday weapons, save Wintersday for the orphans around Divinity’s Reach by giving them wrapped gifts, and test your snow-throwing skills against other players in Snowball Mayhem.
You can also experience the joy of jumping in Winter Wonderland, defend against waves of toys in Toypocalypse, and help keep Tixx’s airship, The Infinirarium, in order! You will also see Wintersday gifts appearing all around Tyria.”
Aside from kicking off holiday festivities, the latest game update also makes a small but significant change to cosmetic infusion drops. Instead of salvaging Charged Quartz Orichalcum Amulets with no guarantee of getting an upgrade, the team has decided to remove all variants of the amulet altogether and replace it with their corresponding upgrade drops.
There’s also a new mount and freebies from the cash shop to watch out for. The patch notes on the Guild Wars 2 official site offers a full rundown of the changes.
