Not true. Nobody knows yet. Probablly somebody just said that to try to bring up prices of the CCs he was selling. Don't believe everything you hear.

I agree, nobody knows anything (except Anet) Probably someone who wants to dump a load of Candy Canes at an inflated price.

If its anything like halloween they'll have the same stuff plus some new ones lol.

But since they have alittle more time to be creative you might see total new stuff. Probably will still have CC's though. People will be ripe to farm them, like they did the re-released halloween items lol.

I wonder if they will be more difficult to farm this time around? There are still so many being sold from last year as it is!

*Gets farming hat on in anticipation*

I still have heaps from last year Winterdays, never even thought about selling them I just use them when I am on long runs with groups that don't want to suffer DP penalty. No point selling them you get more use out of them if your the one to use them. I hope they make it like last year so I can farm more so then my stash won't run out.

I, on the other hand had to buy all mine. I was not far enough into the game to take full advantage of Wintersday, and as I hate rushing through games it was all over before I had reached LA.

I am more prepared this year, roll on Wintersday.

^^ would seem to be right, after all Dec 21st is the Winter Solstice (Northern Hemisphere). But once again it is just a guess.

Holiday Rewards

In addition to the seasonally appropriate headwear you can receive from either Dwayna or Grenth at the end of the grand finale, here are some other gifts and items you might see during the Wintersday festival:

Winter Gift: What surprise will you find inside? "Unwrap" it to find out.

Snowman Summoner: Need an instant snowman? This gift is for you.

Eggnog: The holiday season's staple drink.

Spiked Eggnog: A more potent glass of nog for the hale and hearty. Please imbibe responsibly???don't drink and quest.

Green Candy Cane: The return of the adventurer's favorite candy treat.

Rainbow Candy Cane: A different flavor of candy cane that should also make those long days of questing much more enjoyable.


Yuletide Tonic: Drink this tonic if you want to be one of Dwayna's little helpers during the festivities.

Frozen Globs of Ectoplasm: You'll need some of this collectible item when you get low on Yuletide Tonic.

Candy Cane Shards: Collect these colorful fragments by questing and competing. The outcome of Wintersday hangs in the balance, and your contribution of Candy Cane Shards may make all the difference. Besides, you never know what somebody might trade for these once the festivities come to a close. Tip: Hold onto those shards until the Wintersday finale and use them for good (or mischievous) intent!

Fruitcake: A tasty holiday staple that is sure to put a little spring in your step.

Special Rewards: In the tradition of the season, you'll receive special headgear during the Wintersday finale. And even better, you'll get a new means of storing it, as well.
