**** Complete Guide to the Wintersday 2006 Event ****

w0000000000t...

anyone got gems from the treasure chests yet?

I just got a DIAMOND from the Do Not Touch in Forum Highlands, together with 2097 gold.

Anyone got any information on the Wintersday quests from Old Nickoles in LA?

RTSFirebat, and everyone involved - thank you for this awesome guide. I made 50K from buried treasure and chests today and eqiuipped a few more heroes.

Great guide, many thanks. I just wish I had more characters up to or past Vabbi...

Oh and under the PvE part of the Snowball fights, when you say "All that is know" I think it should be "known."

I think there's a mistake in the Kamadan collector list. I found a wintersday collector looking for silver bullion coins (not listed) but no collector looking for sentient roots (listed.) The silver bullion coins collector was under the tent with the regular traders in the NW corner of town.

I could be wrong.

Happy Wintersday,
Luny

I got a nice screenshot of Rudi as well as the giant stocking in Fahranur.

There are quests in LA. They look like the same quests from Wintersday 2005. Quest rewards are Gingerbread Shield, Gingerbread Focus, and Peppermint Shield. Talk to Old Nicholas next to the decorated tree between the two circle grids.

Now that i think of it... why couldn't ANET let us tame Reindeer in the Shiverpeaks? They could attack with their horns... it would be fun and i would like it very much.

The sentient roots are collectable in there from 1 of the persons cant remember the name now and cant check but the collector is there.


If no one else stated it already i would like to say something about the thread..
It seems the usual winter gifts arent able to get from the collectors.
i dont know if this will change later on but for now you can't get the winters gifts only the normall ones which are stated in there...

Marvelous idea, RTS Firebat! Thank you for the guide. We will post about this in the Community News next Thursday!

Anyone know if the treasures are only for during the event?

It should probably say it on the gw website but I'm too tired to check it out now. Most likely not.

My Guild just cleared the UW no frozen ecto there

Frozen Ecto: Coming in about, oh, 35 minutes.

Collectors, too!

Thanks for the heads up

sweet...wait thats like right now..guess ill stay up a bit longer. Thanks for the tip.

and yes there is botha sentient root and silver bullion coin collector.

I see collector...in Lions....but where do u get the frozen ectos?

Candysmith Coldstone has been added to Kamadan (between entrance to Sun Docks & Consulate).

For 9 Candy Cane Shards he offers last year's candy cane weapons plus Peppermint Daggers (dmg 5-5), Peppermint Scythe (10-10), and Peppermint Spear (10-10).

i just got a frozen ecto from the pve uw snowball quest given out by the rift warden in kamadan. least i think thats the pve snowball event.
