Cantha celebrates the New Year early
I'm pretty sure the actual Chinese New Year is Feb. 10 this year. However, the Canthan New Year festival on GW1 is from Jan 31 to Feb 7. Huh.
On the bright side, they added a new quest where you can basically trade in 100 lunar tokens for a guaranteed celestial mini. One per account. No RNG needed. Also, you can trade in for any one of the twelve minis, so you can get stuff you missed or pick up stuff that you like better from "future" years.
There's 5 quests normally from Shing Jea, for a total of 125 tokens total, so it's more than doable. Just load up 3 heroes with Charge! (warriors & paragons preferred) and speed run thru the whole thing.
I picked up the snake mini cuz anyway. Looking over the images on the wiki, the sheep/monkey/dog minis are pretty ugly. (Why Anet! Why the ugly wolf skin for the doggy?!) The horse mini is a kirin skin, as expected. The rooster mini is a...phoenix skin?! WTF? But they do have actual roosters in game! Meh.
