Ok, here’s the page about the Mini Mr. Sparkles: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/introducing-the-black-lion-wintersday-rewards-event/. The page reads as follows:
“Welcome to the month-long Black Lion Wintersday Rewards Event! Evon Gnashblade of the Black Lion Trading Company will be rewarding December customers with exclusive gifts!
Black Lion Trading Company customers who purchase at least 800 gems will receive an exclusive Green Quaggan Backpack Cover. If you purchase at least 4,000 gems, you’ll receive not only the Green Quaggan Backpack Cover, but also a Mini Mr. Sparkles of your very own!
In early January, you will receive your gift based on gems you purchase and gem codes you redeem between 12:01 AM December 1 and 11:59 PM December 31 PST."
I read that as a cumulative purchase and not one single purchase of 4,000 gems at a one time. I will verify, but that’s how I read it, don’t you agree?
