Is there a difference between the merchants?
Does one merchant give better gifts than the other as far as what you get in the winter gift?

Oh and the Cane takes all your dp away so you might want to just invest in that one for use later on :-).

The place I farm is north Of Nolani. Tons of huge gargoyle mobs, and you only need one skull for the items at Ascalon. Get prob 15 skulls a run. They drop like crazy.

Is there a difference between winter gifts, like from Greneth vs. Dwayna collectors? I have 2 stacks of 'Winter Gifts' in my inventory and they won't combine. I haven't tried opening one or the other yet because I only have 3 of one and 1 of the other.

If you can manage to solo it, the tengu on the path between LA and ascalon settlement drop a load of scalps (tradeable for items), a fair amount of candy cane shards, and a bunch of salvage and stuff. If you haven't completed the quest that requires you to bring devona, cynn and mhenlo to ascalon settlement, they will come along with you without taking a share of the loot.

And best of all, there are tons of tengu there. I do it with a necro with lvl 18 minions, I just aggro some 15-20 tengu at a time and let the minions clean everything up. Very fast and the drops are pretty decent.

Just a note, they only don't if you get the killing blow. I've "used" them enough to know that if they are finishing off the monster, you don't get the xp or any items. Tried using them at level 6 and since I couldn't kill anything, they were getting all my xp and items.

The present difference is dependent upon which divinity you win with

Win With Grenth-Grenth presents-the duds that go BOOM

Win With Dwayna-Dwayna presents-the ones with all the goodies

Never tells you which is which, open just 1 in each pile to find out

I've tried that place, and not only are there less monsters, but they don't drop shards as often as I'm getting northwest of LA. So, um, no that's not necessarily the best place.

Just to throw that in here ... left is a two-handed staff, right is a one-handed wand and a focus item.

Happy holidays ...

if you time it right, you can get like 6 -7 groups in the middle before they patrol away, all i have to do is lay a EoE then and 2 barrage, thats a fast dead 25+ grawl in a minute or two

Ok, this is confusing. It seems to me that Eugaet was asking about the winter gifts that come from the collectors, but Mal and Funk responded about gifts coming from winning or losing in the snowball arena. As there are different collectors representing each deity and offering some variety in items, can we get an answer to the actual question? Is there a difference in the collector winter gifts dependent on which deity's servant the gift comes from?
