You have to go to the Busy Bee or Colored Canvas to get your gifts through clickies. You can get both on the same character.

The Busy Bee is the candles on the table.
Colored Canvas is a painting of a Snowman on the wall.

No painting hue differences yet, just city names. But I have different candle colors. I'll edit the candle names/hues as I go. I won't add city names unless something that seems rare pops up.

Candle Hues: 0, 2, 33, 42, 52, 123, 1166

Candle Names: Campion Flowers, Cherry Blossoms, Juniper Bush, Lillies, Peach, Poppies, Snowdrops, Vanilla

Rare(?) Painting Cities: Heartwood

I am surprised that they posted this was up on the main webpage
when they are not up on all shards yet
Pacific doesn't have the batik at the painted canvas
but has the candles at the busy bee

I'll be updating this post as I get more but here's the candles I have gotten so far, scents not listed above are Cherry, Foxglove Flowers, Pear, and Cypress Tree.

Candle rare might be the White Hue 0 as have only gotten 3 out of 42ish characters


So scents so far are:

Apple
Campion Flowers
Cherry Blossom
Cypress Tree
Foxglove Flower
Hops
Juniper Bush
Lillies
Orfluer Flowers
Peach
Pear
Poppies
Snowdrops
Vanilla

For the Batik painting seems like the Snowman with the Campfire is the rare one as out of 40ish characters I've only gotten 2.

Be careful not to be overloaded.. I was getting my gifts and hit the painting and i was overloaded. "got message you can't get this at this time," (something like that) cleaned off and i am still getting that message :(

I tried logging out and back in.. Nope :(

I hated that. I just had to clear over 300 lockdowns of holiday/anniversary crap alone from my house on Atlantic by stuffing it in various char's bank boxes.

I miss it too... at least it felt more like a "gift" less like work and wrist strain. I was fine with Tokens too... At least those usually resulted in a nice box.

Why is Baja being weird with the order of the Artisan Festival?

While most other shards are going from Jhelom to Minoc, Baja just went from Minoc to Jhelom.... Not checked the other shards that missed Jhelom yet (apparently it's not a popular place for governors/trade runs)

Was anything determined to be rare yet with the batik paintings or candles?

As painful as it is, I try to do trade runs to every city. Jhelom actually isn't that bad as I just run down to the Honor Shrine and sail from there.

Moonglow and New Magincia are the worst. I know you can use moongates but I always try not to.

And the rare candles seem to be the 2-tone ones, 1194, 1915, 1920, 2728 and 2758 seem to be the most rare.

As far as the Batiks' go, the fire ones seem to be less common but I don't know about rarity. I have only gotten 4 so far on 5 shards with 2 accounts.

They had no money in Jhelom coffers so it skipped to next.

I know that's why it was skipped - I just didn't know it would GO BACK to the skipped one if someone donated after the next city started...

Baja skipped Jhelom, the WENT BACK to Jhelom after Minoc was done.

Well that will make it be in sync after this round. I guess we will learn the coffer rules in this situation.
