Ok guys, you can get candy cane shards in two ways. From opening collector gifts, or random monster drops. So just farm a moster like charr or grawl so you get shards and collectors items to go get gifts.

Also don't you think this is wierd:
Dwana: spread as much christmas cheer so you can get rid of it as fast as you can.

Grenth:Ruin christmas for everyone to make it last longer. lol
It should be like, Dwana hates the cold so go melt snowmen, and grenth loves the cold so go kill the grentchs trying to ruin it.

To answer some recent questions:

Grenth's quest is no longer bugged in American servers, the onion seems to have been removed. Never saw the onion. Got the update around midnight EST, then got another update about 15 minutes later (after finishing Dwayna's quest).

No, doing one quest does not remove the other.

All servers should have update by now.

Candy cane shards are also drops.

Dwayna's quest reward - gives a skill point, didn't see that listed, but may have just missed it. This is in addition to 5k exp, gingerbread focus (+5 energy), and gingerbread shield. Grenth's does not give skill point. Thanks for the skill point in the stocking Anet!!!!!

Hope all this helps.

Did anyone notice when doing the snowman quest that the grentch boss has an elite skill? I didn't catch what it was. Is it new? Has anyone tried to cap it?

unienaule · Dec 23, 2005, 05:43 AM // 05:43

It's Grenth's Balance. No, it's not new.

Klmpee · Dec 23, 2005, 05:44 AM // 05:44

widds2v · Dec 23, 2005, 05:45 AM // 05:45

Ya but its much easier to get it from him than its former locations. A little treat to necromancers I guess.

Ah. It was firing too fast for me to catch what it was. Thank you.

I was kind of hoping they had done something like that for monks, but alas, no boss for the brrs.

Interesting thing to note: it seems that the presents you get from Grenth collectors -explode- and don't give you anything. Dwayna presents give you actual items.

I guess the point of this is to trick people? "Here, have a present.. EXPLODE!" or something? =p Anyway, if you don't want to waste collector item drops, make sure you're only trading to the priests, -not- the necromancers!

EDIT: Yar, I'm wrong. =p Grenth presents do give stuff, but.. it seems to be a very low ratio to me, I managed probably 2 items (candy cane shards) out of 12 or so presents; the rest were just the explosions.

except candy canes, it seems... if you don't know what it does, it can't hurt you :P

nunix · Dec 23, 2005, 06:17 AM // 06:17

Nonono, I mean the actual "Winter Present" item that you right-click to open. Dwayna presents can be eggnog, spiked eggnog, hat, or candy cane. the Grenth presents just do a green explosion. And, in fact, the two types of presents are seperate stacks in your inventory.

I would do a little more research before you lead people in the wrong direction ... all the items i got have been for the necro collector, and i've had several candy cane shards from the winter gifts ... so you can get them either way, i suppose it's just random.

Cheers and happy wintersday!
