=====Festival hat=====
Participation in one of the [[Celestial Tiger]] appearances will earn you a [[festival hat]]:

==Festival events==
A feast, fireworks displays, dancing, fortunes, and a trip to the races...all this and more await you during the Canthan New Year's Festival. Here's what you can expect:
* Satisfying the Celestial animal is a tall order, especially since every festival has a few unexpected problems for enterprising young adventurers to solve.
* Want a preview of the coming year? The [[Fortune Teller (Canthan New Year)|fortune teller]] can peer into your future and provide you with a very real, and legally binding, fortune. Whether it bodes well or ill, your destiny will follow you out into the world beyond Shing Jea.
* The [[Shing Jea Boardwalk]] makes a special appearance during the festival, so you can play games to earn [[Festival Ticket]]s and boost your [[Lucky and Unlucky|luck]]—or play to lose, and work your way down a different life track. Tickets can be redeemed for [[Festival Prize]]s, too.
* For you racing fans, make your way to the [[Rollerbeetle Racing Arena]], where you'll be outfitted with your very own rollerbeetle racer, complete with its own set of racing skills. Races roll all weekend long.
* The [[Dragon Arena]] is now an official part of the festival, so head over for a brawling good time.
* The Celestial Feast lets you participate in heated cooking competitions, where you'll help Canthan chefs prepare special dishes in honor of the Celestial Tiger. Each properly prepared meal earns a reward from the Tiger, but it's bad luck to displease the beast!

==Quests==
Every festival brings with it a variety of problems that can only be solved by enterprising young adventurers willing to undertake a quest or two to ensure the festival runs smoothly. Supplies of everything from red dye (for Nian-scaring party attire) to fireworks (also used to frighten off the nian) will inevitably run low. And, speaking of the [[Nian]], you never know when, or where, these New Year's festival hating creatures might attack. ''(NOTE: these quests will only be offered to characters that have reached level 5 or higher)''
