Well, this looks quite interesting. Where is the information on the hat storage? Guess I'm reading it too quick. :P. Anyways, this looks like a good way to spend some of my Christmas vacation. All of my characters will have to do this quest: Even the 2 new ones.

Good job, Anet. Keep up the excellent work.

Looks like they're having the 9 rings game from the Dragon Festival:

Also, it looks like they're dropping presents just like the Dragon Festival too.

Tip: Hold onto those shards until the Wintersday finale and use them for good (or mischievous) intent!

Someone suggested ages ago in Sardelac, about using clay bricks to make a building! Where the whole community add to it, and it gets built up. Maybe they are doing something like that, but with Candy Cane Shards

I'm sad to see no Peppermint Cany Canes on the list!

They are the ones from last year! I was looking forward to stocking up.

Though I can't wait to see how much my 10 remaining ones will go up in price...

Eviance · Dec 15, 2006, 11:02 PM // 23:02

I still have some CCs spread out among each of my characters and I always give them out when on missions and such.
However I am sad cause all this fun stuff will be going on likely while I am still recovering from having baby ;_; Well at least the first day of it will be and then I will be so dead tired I dunno if I will have it in me for participating much. Oh well, if I know my guildies they will help me not to miss much <3 those guys!

It doesn't sound like Candy Cane Shards are used to craft weapons, now it seems like they're part of the event finale, and maybe for acquiring post event items?
What in the name of Lyssa is a Frozen Glob of Ectoplasm? And can we thaw them and sell them for several platinum a piece?
What's the difference between the old candy canes, the green ones, and the rainbow ones?
Why no love for Cantha? Guess they're making up for the last six months when Factions got every single event
Zomg holiday hat storage!

I'm wondering the exact same things, although I think I know what the frozen glob of ectoplasm does. The GW site says

"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."

I'm thinking that the frozen globs of ectoplasm do the same thing as the yuletide tonic, but instead of a helper of Dwayna, it makes you a helper of Grenth.

I hope so. I don't think that normal ones affect henchies or heros, and since you can't give henchies or heros candy canes....

Man, I can't wait for this event! It seems so awsome!

Well, according to the site it turns you into one of Dwayna's helpers (i.e. a snowman).

Thanks hun! And I would but Dell broke my husband's wireless card and haven't sent out his replacement laptop yet, so I'll just have to wait. Not to mention I seriously doubt I will have much energy or gumption to log on, but I'm sure I will eventually get some playtime in before all is said and done.
Thats why this event is my favorite, it lasts so friggen long!

Xavier Lightstone · Dec 18, 2006, 01:45 PM // 13:45

Hat storage is sweet, as I'm seriously running out of space with all the mods, upgrades, useless golds, hats, event items and detritus filling up every characters inventory as well as storage and material. How about a collectors item storage? Bit cheaty, but there are soooo many of them, why not.

Jetdoc · Dec 18, 2006, 03:03 PM // 15:03

Hat storage - SWEET!

Looks like Shing Jea is out of the mix... ;(

Jetdoc · Dec 18, 2006, 03:05 PM // 15:05

By the way, if you notice the mesmer's picture on that link, doesn't it look like she's wearing a green elf hat?
