You’ll be taken to Divinity’s Reach where you can speak to Phaedra to buy lucky envelopes. You can also light fireworks in the Crown Pavilion. Alternatively, you can sign up for a mount race and try your skill there. Speaking to Finolla will see you teleported to the Dragon Ball Arena, while the Celestial Challenge Attendant will send you on a quest for celestial animals.
Some prizes this year include achievements to earn Lunar-Enchanted Gloves, Fortune-Shining Aureate weapons, and more. Earlier, ArenaNet provided an update on the performance issues with server lag greatly reduced.
