Tumult.2578 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 So this appears to be really messed up. If we take a practicle look at it, we get our drink items during the Wintersday festival, But, we can also get them throughout the year and they count, and we can do another once a month collection for even more drinks. So, today and for the rest of the year though, we still can not get the Masterful toast Title because we didn't buy a somehow associated item from the Winters Presence Collection, namely the blueprint for Winters Presence shoulder piece?!?!? Not sure how this happened but please fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 It was originally designed that you couldn't do it all year round and only progress the drinks part of the winters presence achievement during Wintersday. Because of the high number of drinks needed for this part of the collection, Anet decided to make it a year round collection so players could progress the drinks achievement buying draining the TP of what was required and take off some of the pressure. I guess they could sell the blueprint off season too - I'm not really seeing any major objection to why they shouldn't. I guess they wanted o try and keep at least the start of the progression during the festival and allow players to work on the rest off season, which makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanner Blackfeather.6509 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 If you haven't purchased the blueprint, there are *other* stuff that will need to be done during the next Wintersday *anyway*. When you buy it, you'll get back credit for having finished Festive Imbiber then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Hayes.6890 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Ugg, still want this skin and still can't get it. At this point I would be okay with the whole thing being available year round, events and all. For me it's drinks, sigils and runes along with oh so much regret for not doing the runes and sigils when they were cheap. Thanks so much for killing their drop rate and creating two additional gold walls on top of the drinks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumult.2578 Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 Have you experienced this "back credit" for previously used drinks? I'm suspicious because I suspect I'm near to or already have the required number. After thinking about it, wasn't the required item on the "after events" vendors near the Lions Arch underground WP last year? It's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's gone. The achievement is continually available in the Community category, you can check yourself how far along you are. I have not experienced "back credit" for *this* achievement specifically, but when I unlocked the Winter's Presence collection, I had already completed _Sounds of the Season_ (giving _Winter Music Score_) and I think _The Wintersday Gauntlet_ (giving the _Snowball_).

Tumult.2578 Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 The required item must unlock the achievement in the Festivals Collection. I don't have it. I have an locked Winter's Presence collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumult.2578 Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 it looks like the Community collection must be purchased from the gem store, but they relied on puchase of the required item to allow the completion of the Festival Collection and Title award.

I just verified, you cant buy anything for that collection on the gemstore, all the food and drinks come from the trading post. The OP is right you cant get the Blueprint except during wintersday but i believe thats the point. it -is- limited to wintersday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumult.2578 Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 I did not find much info about the Community Collection and it looked like it may be from GW1 origonally and because of that assumed the only access to it now was an ocassional gem shop sale. I see now that there are ways to unlock it. I have no interest in the Winters Presence collection and will never do that JP again. Masterful Toast however, does not show as a collection on the Hidden Achievements Wiki page. So, although the collection is likely completed, it's locked for a year. I'm sure there's some logic to this. Yeah, right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no, it has nothing to do with the gem store. Maybe before making accusations about things being on the gem store, first do a proper search for the information you are looking for. It was already mentioned as to WHY the drinks collection is available all year round. The logic being: since it's a very costly part of the collection and can take quite a while, and in order to not spike prices on the TP forcing players to acquire drinks during a limited period of time, the collection is available all year round. I find that a very sound approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumult.2578 Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 The Winters Presence collection was never the issue. Masterful toast was. Accusations? LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL! im so confused by what you are asking about anymore. Masterful toast is just an item you get from finishing off the festive imbiber achievement(available year round.)

Tumult.2578 Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 Masterful toast grants the "Spirited Drinker" Title. An activity done throughout the year. I've been tyrying to find if it can be obtained outside of the Winterday Festival so drinks wouldn;t be wasted. I didn't intend to upset anyone. It looked like Masterful Toast was what granted the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked like Masterful Toast was what granted the title. Check the Community category under General in the achievement panel. Like I said in my second reply. The Achievement is called "**Festive Imbiber**". It rewards the title Sprited Drinker and the _item_ Masterful Toast. The achievement is available all year round.
