No kidding there, its been corrected. PM me typos next time.

Double post omg...

Anyways Guide is now as up-to-date as it can be for now. Enjoy.

one easy one is located here :

Got a nice gold staff and 1,089gp from the Jahai Bluff's Treasure. Now im gonna go hunt the other ones!

woohoo, niec staff, even tho he is req 13 spawn and a 1,098gp from jahai bluff ^^"

Can we please get a confirmation on the Domain of Pain chest actually being there?

Nevermind I found it, it's behind that monk boss, near that bridge.

anyone suggest yet those rings in Kamadan might be some form of 'Dragon Festival' -ring games?

Unfortunately I don't have pics to prove it (didn't know it was still unconfirmed), but me and a friend found it.
For a location, you know when you're doing the mission?
You know that bridge you come to where you hear the conversation between the Lich and the Emmisary of Dhuum?
It's across that bridge in the EA version.
Safest route is to head right after entering from Gate of Fear, then hug the chasm to the left.
Here's the route from memory (so the path might be a bit wrong, but the final location is pretty much accurate):



Thanks to Graywing and his Domain of Pain map as found on wiki.

Yeah Nexus I ended up finding it later, thanks though. Least it was there.

guys about that candy shards.Can i only get them in Snowball fight or?

more difficult chests give more money, gate of pain ~3k, mirror of lyss ~2k, Jahai ~1k, Issnur and Mehtani ~500g

Also Issnur and Mehtani have non-max dmg rares, while others give better rares.

I'll post some maps of locations tomorrow, if someone else hasnt yet...

issnur and mehtani HAVE max dmg rare.
i got 2 max eagle defenders there.

Will these disapear after the Wintersday event?

1) the treasure chests
2) the festival hat NPCs

And thanks for the guide RTSFirebat! Awesome job!

*Edit* I just found out that the festival hat npc is permanent!

Great Guide! Ty!

One question/possible error. You say the event will end on Jan 1 at 12:01am. I could very well be wrong, but I thought the finale started at Jan 1 at 12:01am. So therefore the event would officially be over in the first hour of Jan 2, after the ninth and final finale shows, right?

(all times PST, of course)

Cheers!

so, um, where do we pickup our rewards for the xunlai house tournament?
i competed but i dont know what to do

Any indications we are going to get any kind of quests like those 10,000 exp quests we got last year??

does anyone know yet if the chests stay permanently? or will they be gone after wintersday is over?

does all chest drop the same kind of items? or is it depending on location it drops that location item. like a shadow shield in Mehtani Keys?

FYI - There is no way to get the chest "In The Ruptured Heart, near Shanin. Map". Not sure if it's a bug or not.

I'm not sure if they are permanant but if you think about it...your character can only open them once so why keep them around after the event? Unless I misunderstood something.
Happy Wintersday Everyone!!!
