[edit] Notes
- Candy Cane Shards also drop in pre-Searing Ascalon, even though there aren't any Candy Cane Smiths or Gift Givers in this part of the game. Players interested in using these shards to acquire Candy Cane weapons or Wintersday Gifts must leave the pre-Searing area.
- During Wintersday 2006 a collector for shards was added after the finale.
- In Wintersday 2007, the Candy Canes Collectors were added in the beginning of the event, being available at all decorated towns.
