Guild Wars - Sugar Rush

It's always the little things in Guild Wars that make me happy. This time it's the sweet things that bring a smile.

In the world of Tyria, the citizens celebrate many festivities and there're sweets to go along with it! How cool is that?

This is the Birthday Cupcake which was made available during the Guild Wars 2nd Birthday event. Random foes drop it in every continent. It is also exchangeable for 10 victory tokens from any Zaishen Supply Master. 

The Candy Apple is only available during Halloween. It is really very cute. However, I'm anti-halloween and I don't celebrate this festivity.


No prizes for guessing where the Chocolate Bunny comes from. It's Easter of course! And you can only get this item during the Easter weekend. They drop by any monster at random. 

The Crème Brûlée can be bought for 10 victory tokens. Otherwise, it can be found from Zaishen Chest, which can only be opened with a Zaishen key. In my Guild Wars posts to come, I'll talk about keys.

The Fruit Cake is obtainable only during Wintersday that just came and gone. Sadly, it is also available only during the season. It is also a possible reward from the chest at the end of the dungeon Secret Lair of the Snowmen. 

The Honeycomb is an item that can only by found in the Guild Wars Expansion, Eye of The North. It is a quest reward for A Hunter's Pride. It can also be obtained by exchanging 8 Stone crawl necklaces. 

The only sweet that's easily obtained, the Red Bean Cake can be bought at any merchant in Cantha for 400g. It can also be obtained from the Dragon Festival as a Festive Prize.

These are just 6 kinds of sweets out of many more found in Tyria. And these add to the Sweet Tooth title. Different sweets also have different uses in-game, though some can only be consumed in an outpost.

And that's it for this post on Guild Wars.
