Canthan New Year's Festival

The Canthan New Year's Festival returns to Shing Jea Monastery on Friday, February 8 at Noon Pacific time (-8 GMT). This lunar-themed weekend event will usher in the Year of the Rat with feasting, questing, and fireworks. Help prepare a meal fit for a celestial being, and you could walk away from the festival with a special gift you can use to light up your Guild Hall or a local town or outpost (but only if the Celestial Rat enjoys its meal). In addition, this year's festival will include:

The return of the festival games along the Shing Jea Boardwalk.
The annual running of the Rollerbeetle Races.
A new Celestial Rat miniature that will randomly drop from Lunar Fortunes.
Pig exchange: turn in five of last year's Miniature Pigs and get a new and improved Celestial Pig.
