- Honorary Krewe Member
- Dolyak Defender
- Nothing but Broken Toys
- Ringing the Right Notes
- Toy Quality Control
- Wrapping Everywhere
- Wintersday Wrecking Ball
- Donation Defender
- Golden Generosity
- Silver for the Season

Reward: 40 AP, Adept Toymaker title, Tixx’s Toybox
Divinity’s Reach Achievements
Silver for the Season/Golden Generosity
- Both achievements are related to Ho-Ho Tron in Divinity’s Reach.
Ho-Ho-Tron is in a corner away from all the other Wintersday NPCs.
He is only there when there isn’t a Dolyak escort event and his
collecting funds event is running.
- Silver for the Season requires you to donate 1 silver 3 times and
give you 5 AP and 3 Giant Wintersday Gift as reward.
- Golden Generosity require you to donate 1 gold 3 times and give you
25 AP and 10 Giant Wintersday Gift as reward.
- Beware that if there are a lot of players donating, the funds
donated bar fills very quickly and you have very little time to
donate.
Donation Defender/Finders Keepers
- Both achievements are related to the Dolyak Escort event that occurs
after Ho-Ho Tron raised enough funds. The Dolyak will start from
Ho-Ho Tron’s location and then head towards Crown Pavilion waypoint.
- To get Donation Defender, you have to kick the skritt that
spawns by pressing F near them. Using snowballs to hit them
doesn’t seem to be very reliable and I was not able to get credit
for the event until I kicked them. Completing this achievement will
reward you with 3 AP and 5 Giant Wintersday Gifts
- For Finders Keepers, you need to collect 25 Dropped Presents. The
Dolyak will drop presents while walking to the waypoint. If you go
ahead of him you will miss them so it is best to follow behind him
and press down ctrl key so you can see the presents when they spawn.
Completing this achievement will reward you with 6 AP, 1 Giant
Wintersday Gift and title Finders Keepers (old title).
Wintersday Activity Achievements

Toypocalypse

achievement.
Nothing but Broken Toys – 5 pts

Toypocalypse

achievement.

Thomas Leo
What does Tixx’s Toybox look like? Is it a mini pet or something?
hoosyerdaddy

narg

Ares Zax
Correct. You can choose from a) Princess Doll mini, b) Toy Golem mini, c) Toy Soldier mini, d) Toy Ventari mini, e) Plush Griffon mini, or f) 100 Giant Wintersday Gifts

“Achievements not counting towards the meta” it means that after the festival gone, we will not see those achivements in the history list, right?
Phobia256
Anyone know how long it will take approximately to get “Ringing the Right Notes” when you’re horrible at Bell Choir? Other than that the meta can be done in a day.
narg
it will take forever, i rage quit every time after half an hour (same like winter jumping puzzle), i hate it all
Anthony Gray
It just takes patience and practice. I should know, i hate doing JPs yet id managed to complete all of them in the game, winter and clock tower included. Just keep at it.
Man
The Notes match the keyboard’s layout, so imagine it is a typing game.\ If it is still hard to you, only do the first 4 keys. That way you atleast have about 50% correct rate. You may need double the time then others, but not too bad.
Phobia256
Thanks a lot. So it is still the same as last year? The JP I can handle, but for some reason I always screwed up with Bell Choir.
sandstar
If you’re having trouble with the choir, do the middle part. I found it extremely easy to get lots of notes correct in that position.
Ares Zax
Yeah, I find the middle to be easier than either the high or low positions. Some of the later songs get tricky, but the early ones come fairly slowly and the notes are placed close together.
MarkBecks
I also hated this to start with, but adjusted the camera angle up, then put fingers left hand on 1-4 and right hand 6-9, which made the world of difference, and from getting kicked out on easy songs, im getting average of 560-570 per round
Twilight
Guys, what’s the new update about?
Raivis Carriedo
any one else not getting Wintersday Wrecking Ball??
Braghez
There’s some tiny stuff that is just almost invisible…lol…but i got it, so it works.
Norton Norton
where is it at? i’ve spent forever running around hitting air
Braghez
It was in general, some of the objects are just so tiny…many of them are a little above the “core” of the infinirarium…tiny walls and stuff.
camhaji
Use a staff guardian and systematically go over every inch of the infinirarium
Silvyah
Wreck seriously everything you can. I remember last year searching for a damn last tree we overlooked in a corner.
Cenarion Child
So it appears the snowball mayhem is bugged… after you finished 2 sets for snowball mayhem (60 games) on the 3rd set it wont progress again after hit 2 games, stuck at 2/30… Anet always give us a buggy content…
