Achievement guide: dulfy.net/2013/07/07/bazaar-of-the-four-winds-achievement-guide/I have the Belcher's one done and all of the race ones done. I got 1st in a lucky race last night. I'm only about 1/4 of the way done looking for crystals. I'm going to try and find some kites today. TIP: I've heard that after the event, all of the quarts nodes go away. If you've accomplished getting 16 achievements for this event, then you unlock 1 permanent node in your home zone. If you're stuck on an achievement, don't sweat it. The sprint has a repeatable achievement you can do. You get 1 point for every 15 races you do. Time consuming, but I actually think it's fun and it's nice to have an alternative if you're unable to get one of the other achievements.EDIT: Looks like the repeatable isn't worth achievement points after the first time through but you still get chests for it.

I didn't like the race at first. It seemed super long compared to what I remember Rollerbeetle racing to be (which was AWESOME and they need to bring it back somehow) but once you get used to the course layout and understand what the power-ups do, it goes by super quick.
Got all the crystals, Belcher's Bluff, and the race achievements. I plan on looking for Kites tonight. Since the achievements and rewards are all account bound rather than soul bound, I think I'm going to switch to my Mesmer. Really want to get him leveled.

Meh, I have not even logged on once for this. Even the beautiful kites can't get me interested, sadly.
*Goes off to pout more about broken WvW*
