Wintersday brings new type of candy canes??

We probably all know that the new Wintersday event starts on december 20th...

However today i noticed that my Candy Canes are renamed to Peppermint Candy Canes...

Maybe i should visit a doctor but a little voice inside my head says that the new Wintersday event will bring a new type of Candy Canes

What do you think??

Might be true. Why else would they rename the old ones
btw: Last December 20th they added the Icy Dragon Sword.
How about an Icy Gladius this year?

This years candy canes will only give you a sugar rush.

You're only joking, right?

Pure Speculation at the moment. At the end of the day they are in fact Peppermint Candy, so I guess the updated the item name. I wouldn't think much of it till Wintersday comes along.

IF this years don't remove DP... imagine the price spike on last years...

If they don't remove DP this year, I'll be horribly disappointed.

Don't know, don't really care. No point speculating.

I noticed the re-name too. If candy canes were changed to something else, than it would make those from last year even more valuable - Problem is I'm almost out of them

Maybe the candy canes this year would be spearment or wintergreen.

i still have over 1000 (1k) for my personal use forever.

if they do remove DP as usual imagine the price drop as everyone has been thinking 1k+ when i sell them finds everybody else has a big get rich quick stock as well.

i can see it now...........

i need inventory space CC 50g each............25g each.....anybody?

I'll be stocking up just because I like the bloody things.

i do too - i never sold any of mine, i find them handy to take when going in UW of FoW.

Maybe this years cc's will only remove 15% of dp per cc.

Another event and by the time, i might have got something else to do. Still, i'll be farming those candy cane shards!

Maybe this year's candy canes will remove the death penalty for the whole party. I've often wished I could give them to the henchies.

I dunno...what does peppermint usually do?

I think they will simply be green instead of red.

This is exactly what I am thinking.

I agree. Hard to say for sure until the 20th.

On an optimistic note, what the game used to call "Precious" is now called "Improved Sale Value" ... and it means the exact same thing in terms of functionality.

Maybe they're just updating the name so the players new since last year won't be so easily confused about the difference between the CC weapons and the dp-removal treats.

I looked at my CC stack tonight, and the existing ones from last year have changed names, too. I didn't test one, can't bear to fritter them away, but this is a ss of my cc stack as of tonight, Dec 14, 2006. They did used to be called, simply, "Candy Canes."



According to the description (also new,) it sounds like they're the same ones from last year ... just better labeling.

Cheers folks,
