Odd/Even Districts out the door this year?

I just did a quick run through of Kamadan and everyone is on Dwayna rings. I was only able to find one district for Grenth in Lions Arch Dist 24. May be hard to get both hats this year without people using the odd even system. Hopefully it will straighten out as the event progresses. As it stands right now Grenth is gonna be hard to come by.

Good luck!

Just pay 125 Candy Cane Shards after the event

Completely forgot about that!

Acquisition via collector
The Wintersday Hat Giver offers both hats for 125 Candy Cane Shards each. He appears after the last finale concludes and remains for 7-10 days after.

Good Call!

I think as more people (and districts) come on....more will go to the traditional odd/even (current in la dist 33--everyone is on grenth's side---)....give it more time (patience, young guru user? )

Actually, it doesn't matter really. A lot of people are going to complain that people wouldn't go on a particular side and demand a redux on the entire event.

The last couple years, I've noticed the German districts usually have their act together.

LA lower numbered districts have themselves sorted out - I just got Grenth in LA dist 7. Once that's done I'm going to slip into the lowest possible even LA dist to see if everyone is with Dwayna.

EDIT: a bunch of AFKers camped on Grenth in LA is kinda ruining it. People have just camped on grenth in whatever dist they could join, making most of the low levels all grenth. it took until dist 18 to find more actives on Dwayna than grenth AFKers.

Who gives the scarves? Grenth?

Grenth has the scarves, Dwayna the hood. I noticed a heavy concentration of Grenth districts in LA, and then they switched to Dwayna in Kamadan. The spawn point on Kamadan was right on Dwayna so it kind of worked out, except for us who went the other way around...

found a dwayna in europe la dist....guess I will camp there for a while (2nd account moved to kamadan and found mostly dwayna...so it seems la is grenth and kamadan is dwayna which ruins it for the peeps who only have one or the other---oh well...)

so 3 scarves vs ONE hood....

I noticed something weird when turning my scarves in - when you choose to show him something, it comes up with all 3 scarves as an option to show him how to make them for you, but if you submit 1 scarf, you can't submit any others.

Now that I'm camped in a Dwayna LA dist I'm not prepared to move in case I lose my spot, but can someone test this and make sure he really does take all 3?

I showed him the solid black scarf and the list has all three. So show one and the rest get added too.

yep --only need to show one scarf for the hat maker to have them all...

and no grentches in the finales for grenth either

Really? We had a whole bunch of them show up in LA dist 7 and bomb the hell out of people while dropping decoy presents - I think I must've been killed by them blowing me up maybe 25 times while I stuck around waiting for the Wintersday Gifts.

I think part of the problem with the odd/even rule could be that a lot of new players have come along, doing their HoM for GW2, and maybe haven't read about the odd/even rule at all. So they join the side that seems to have a little more, which in LA seems to be Grenth predominantly, and in Kamadan Dwayna.

It could be because those are closer to their respective spawn points. I was another who did Grench then Dwayna. And I agree that it seems a little imbalanced getting 3 scarves vs one hood.

Turned up where I was (Kam dis 39) - maybe you didn't wait long enough? It seemed to take longer for them to appear this year than previously, but then I have a crap memory so that just could be me .

As others mentioned, had a hard time finding a district in Kam for Grenth (hopping over from LA), seemed no matter what odd number I picked, they were all Dwayna.

was there for the whole present part...we had none in the district I was in....oh well...glad they were in some districts!

Odd that the hood is dyable but the scarf isn't so they gave us three!

I want to wear both at the same time

Isn't this because that engine limitation about dye-able vs. can leave hair on?

^this. spawn point for kama is closest to dwayna, spawn for la is closest to grenth.

and for a clueless player its kinda difficult to tell which ring goes to which avatar :P
