So when u told me the drink arent anymore the bulk i ask if the runes or mc were. Could you scroll back up and read what you wrote again, then read my reply. It answers your question.

Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Since there's some confusion about the requirements and costs, here's a summary: * [Five achievements with zero cost must be completed during the festival.](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Winter%27s_Presence_(achievement_category)) * The Blueprint must be purchased during the festival for 3g + 25k karma * Four achievements with cost can be completed at any time (with their current 'instabuy' costs) * [Essence of Mischief](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Essence_of_Mischief_(rare)) 345 gold * [Essence of Snowfall](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Essence_of_Snowfall) 371 gold * [Magnanimous Obsidian Crystal](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Magnanimous_Obsidian_Crystal) 63 gold * [Masterful Toast](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Masterful_Toast) 119 gold tl;dr the only money to spend during Wintersday is 3 gold. The rest can be completed _at any time_. Roughly 11% of the cost these days is from alcohol, 36% from runes, 33% from sigils, and 19% from mystic coins. To see the break down (and see how much you can save by crafting or converting items), visit the [crafting calculator at GW2 Efficiency](https://gw2efficiency.com/crafting/calculator/a~0!b~1!c~0!d~1-77645). 968 gold if you just want to make purchases on the TP, 882g if aim for the most cost-efficient sources.

Astrolicus.3716 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I'll be honest. I really hate to hide the shoulder piece in this game, some chest skins look just ugly without the shoulder piece. Can we already have Winter's Presence as an infusion? I don't know how all this works, but honestly, how hard can it be? I know this was also posted in 2017, but please Anet. _Winter's Presence must have been an infusion_ since you created it.

phs.6089 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 No it must not, I don't wanna make another to use on other character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haleydawn.3764 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Yes, but only if it’s stat-less (but able to be upgraded to stat+AR) and I can withdraw multiple from the Achievement Panel, like I can with Zenith, Radiant, Hellfire and Pinnacle skins. Like I’ve suggested in the other threads requesting this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etria.3642 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 At first I was all for this but now having Aurora I can use on only one character...no. Please do not make this an infusion. And yes I know infusions and trinkets are not the same but all that work and only one character benefits. Bleah. I also got an infusion over Christmas and that can only be on one too.

The single #1 reason why I didn't bother completing the collection. I wear shoulders on most of my character, and those that I don't wouldn't work with that effect. At the same time though, it means it's one less thing for me to spend time grinding, leaving me more time to just play the game. /shrug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please do not make this an infusion. And yes I know infusions and trinkets are not the same but all that work and only one character benefits. Bleah. I also got an infusion over Christmas and that can only be on one too. That makes sense but they could figure out a way maybe that the effect would work over an outfit. I personally wouldn't mind moving it around though like I do with Aurora. I have Aurora as well and for the amount for work and money it took yes it should be an effect on all characters but then we have the same issue of not being able to wear outfits or armor pieces we like.

SnowPumpkin.1809 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Yes I would, and I am not sure why Anet hasn't responded to these comments. I am seeing less and less responses from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teratus.2859 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Absolutely! One of the reasons I don't use Winters Presence despite all the effort to get it is because it removes my shoulders. I've always thought they should be infusions and tbh I probabbly won't ever use them unless they become infusions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayakaru.6583 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Like? I’ve been asking for it from the start. I want to wear shoulders, when using it, I want to combine it with outfits, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmirkDog.3160 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Please, no more infusion eye sores. There's already enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arsenic Touch.7960 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I'd rather they made a new slot for auras so they can be equipped. Make it work like backpacks so they can be used with outfits as well. Convert some of the infusions into auras so they can be used with outfits and cut down on some of the massive stacking that they have. If they had an aura slot, they could also add all kinds of different effects as rewards or gem items. But with all that being said, having it as an infusion would be great too because I hate having no shoulders with it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeyspit.3965 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I don't own these, but I also don't understand why you would want a cosmetic item (infusion) to require you hide another cosmetic item (armor skin). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup that's the problem, you wear either of the items for the effect or aura and you can't wear other shoulder or outfits without covering up the expensive beautiful effects.

PeerlessArch.6547 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I was highly disappointed that I could not have the "snowfall" effect while still keeping my Tempest Loop. PLEASE make this an infusion effect that can be placed inside a shoulder piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
