My guildmates convinced me to do that with the first one that i got while doing the end of the snowman quest. I wish you could slap people through vent sometimes

Ok, so we have officially established that they drop everywhere. I guess no more people have to post where their's dropped now.

I still have some halloween items, and think that those might become worth something, but everyone has these Christmas items, so I think that they won't have much value. There are more people selling shards than people buying, and I mean a LOT more.

Hi guys, i got 5 Wintersdays shields for 4 candy canes each! i heard each shield will be worth 40k next christmass atleast!! the candy cane maker sells you terrible items. The bow is the only decent item that you might want to buy!
I suggest to you all that you stock up on these items and sell them in a few monthes for thousands of gold!
GOOD LUCK!

is it really smart telling everyone to stock up on them when you are the one thats gonna try and sell them later :P

Funk_Styles · Dec 24, 2005, 05:43 AM // 05:43

i bet by next xmas those shields will be worth nothing, hell you will prolly have to pay people to take them off your hands

Ok.. Just to clear this all up

The best places to farm for candycane shards are outside of Piken Square (kill the charr and usually you will get one) or north of sardelac sanitarium (kill the hulking stone elementals)

Now, why do you need candycane shards?

They are selling for about 800 each, so you can make some decent money

Trade 4 in for candycane weapons at Lions Arch, and Ascalon. The Lions Arch candymaker is by the merchants, the Ascalon candymaker is by Symon the Scribe.

Also, you can trade 8 in for a peppermint shield, gingerbread shield, or gingerbread icon in the snowball arenas which can be reached in Ascalon, Droknars, Lions Arch, and Tomb of the Primeval Kings. The guy is between Dwayna and Grenth.

I'm guessing that these weapons and shields will skyrocket in price, and it would probably be a better investment to have the weapons than to keep the shards since after the christmas update it over they will be pretty useless.

I hope this helps..

no.
I stocked up and have kept Halloween items, and will stock up and keep Wintersday items.
But NOT to sell, for gods sake.

There's not really much reason but that I might use them in months to come. These Candy Canes that knock off DP will certainly come in handy.

A crappy shield will be worth 40k? Everyone who did the quests will have got 2. I don't know what proportion of those will keep it. However, if you actually used your BRAIN you would think - hey, before next Christmas, Chapter 2 will be out. Everyone will go buy it, and there will be another, maybe better, event on that. Sure, it may be worth 40k for how almost no-one else has kept it, but THINK, who is actually going to buy it? There will be new stuff next Christmas, and nobody will want to buy a random shield from last Christmas that just looks cool.
I suggest you stock up on all these items and keep them for months to come!
GOOD LUCK!
