Wintersday 2006
From Guild Wars Wiki
Wintersday 2006 was an event which began December 20th 2006 and lasted 21 days until January 11th 2007 to celebrate the Tyrian New Year. While the event was celebrated across the land, with foes randomly dropping candy cane shards, festivals were held at Lion's Arch in Prophecies and Kamadan, Jewel of Istan in Nightfall. The towns were decorated with gifts, snow, candy, and holiday NPCs. Special event quests were available and even repeatable. Ring games where available for all to enjoy, and on the final day of Wintersday, festival hats were awarded to all players in town depending on who supported the holidays two rival gods, Grenth and Dwayna.

[edit] List of Candy Cane Equippable Items
Candy Cane weapons are special Wintersday weapons that can be crafted at candysmiths for Candy Cane Shards. All the weapons have a set damage (i.e. 10-10 or 15-15). The Candy Cane weapons, often abbreviated CC weapons, all have the look of candy canes, with thin red and white stripes. These weapons are favorable for low-level characters due to the lack of an attribute requirement.

[edit] Notes
- Candy Cane is often abbreviated to "CC".
- By traveling between even and odd numbered districts and Prophecies to Nightfall, it was possible for one character to obtain all 4 festival hats at one time, as the Gods arrived some minutes later in higher numbered districts.
- Wintersday 2006 was won by Grenth, which extended the length of the event by a week. In comparison, the duration of Wintersday 2005 was 16 days.
