GW2 Wintersday Collections Guide featuring Wintersday Toy Weapons Collection and Toy Tonic Tippler collection.
Wintersday Toy Weapons Collection
To start this collection, you will need Heirloom Toy Chest. You can either buy this from the TP (costs coppers at time of writing) or buy them from the Wintersday merchants for 45 Ugly Wool Sweaters, 120 Ugly Wool Hats or 500 Ugly Wool Socks.
- Consuming the item unlocks the Basic collection Wintersday Toy Weapons Collection.
To complete the collection, you need the following weapon skins. They are all very cheap on the TP (coppers for each skin) or you can buy the Unsafe Wintersday Gift from the Wintersday merchants or acquire them from Wintersday presents as random drops.

- Consuming the item unlocks the Rare collection Toy Tonic Tippler
This collection require you to acquire 5 Endless Toy Tonics. You will need a 400 Artificer and lots of gold to acquire the recipes to make these Endless Tonics (unless you want to try your luck with the wintersday gifts which drops them very rarely). The tonics are account bound on acquire so you must make them yourself.

Recipe
Buy them from the TP or try your luck with the Wintersday Gifts. They are quite expensive at the moment. Remember you need 400 Artificer for them.
Each Tonic’s recipe is exactly the same, you need for each tonic
- 20 Bottles of Elonian Wine (vendor next to Mystic Forge)
- 100 Piles of Bloodstone Dust

So in total for 5 Endless Tonics you are looking at

- 500 Flawless Snowflakes
Ouch, I hope you do have deep pockets.

Me!
Does the Princess Doll potion scream?
Krystal S. S.
actually yes, both the mini and you (if you’re transform into the doll) can *fall scream* just by jumping. though, you’ll have to fall of a decent size place for the mini to scream.

Epically not even bothering spending the gold for the second one!
Ares Zax
Yeah, 3 AP and a tonic with no skills isn’t worth the cost, in my opinion. Still, for the truly dedicated AP hunters, it’ll be a nice gold sink for the economy.
Ares Zax
No sign of the 3rd Collection yet, dulfy? The release notes said there were 3 collections.
Dulfy
The third one is the wintersday weapon skins I think?
Ares Zax
Ah, of course! Overlooked the obvious. XD
shodannet
Aaah, all my hoarding pays off again!!! o/
Xiem

Dulfy

Xiem

ok, roaming the gw2 inside is pretty nice… this also reminds me of one movie in particular “What’s in the box!”
on another note, do the size of the player change the size of the box? or is it one fits them all?
sleight
su much gold and they don’t even put effort in animating it right
oliver twist
some people threw triple digits gambling for just ONE tonic during 2012 wintersday. price now is a joke. throw in 700 gems for the 2 lost minis.
and this is why I’m an orphan.
tinnic
I already got my skritt! So not going to bother with the tonic. I am too poor for this!
nessa

If you made an endless tonic in the first winterday it work, but you must use it, then it count for the achievement.

i spent soooo much last xmas to get the princess tonic. it deserved every single copper since it’s a humanoid small form which can jump too. this makes it perfect for the jp . and it’s cute too. i
Vael Victus
Can it be used in WvW?
Dulfy
Yes
Mythmyen.4091
PVP reward track can give you one recipe and one tonic as your choice per track run.

i just crafted the Endless Gift Box Tonic \~ [i used it on my asura, norn, and char] the box does not change size, it stays the same.
The Spirit Molecule
This was a lot of fun. I liked the ”for the children” achievement the most.
Lord
Hi Dulfy, does the Mystic Forge endless Toy tonic recipe still work (with Frame, glue, stuff and dust)\ I still have previuous toy frame and I wonder if it works before buying glue and stuff.
Man
The Endless version is rare outcome, and the material is’nt cheap(no new supply). with more then 5 gold per try. Not a good way to get them.
The total cost of all 5 recipes is less then 50 gold now.(2014/12/24)May be lower before this winter event end if you can wait.

So Star of Gratitude eats materials… but what does it DO for you?
Claudius
It showers you with gratefulness. And while doing so, it spits out bags for every 50 empyreal thingies. The content of those bags goes from junk to quite precious items (usually junk and blues and greens, though).
iqValentin
Gives you junk and greens. So much for gratitude.
