Wintergreen Candy Canes only take off 15% of DP, I guess the old ones will be worth even more now.
A bunch of quests in LA and a couple in Kamadan.
Yuletide tonic requres a trade of frozen ectoplasm. No clue where those drop or how to get them. There is a tonic maker in Kamadan.
Haven't seen a Rainbow candy cane for trade, but people are running around screaming for coal and looking for a Vanguard Guy in Ascalon.
That is my quick 20 minute tour of the four cities. Still no clue what the 3x3 are and there are no grinches or children to give gifts too in Ascalon.
Collectors are here!

Here's a brief list of collectors that I made, maybe it'll help people:
(all collectors have eggnog/spiked eggnog and all have fruitcake, snowmen and wintergreen candy canes)
Droknars - dredge manifesto (1) [spiked], frozen remnant (1) [eggnog], frigid heart (2) [spiked], summit badges (3) [eggnog]
Ascalon - stormy eyes (2) [spiked], charr carvings (3) [eggnog], singed gargoyle skulls (2) [spiked], grawl necklaces (2) [eggnog]
Lion's Arch - shadowy remnant (1) [eggnog], caromi scalps (2) [spiked], hardened humps (2) [spiked], decayed orr emblems (3) [eggnog]
Khamadan - sentient roots (3) [spiked], copper shillings (3) [spiked], frozen glob of ecto (1) (yuletide tonic), juvenile termite legs (3) [eggnog]
wintergreen candy canes remove 15% dp. likely rainbow candy canes (not in) remove full dp.
edit: right! 2 frigid hearts

Well according to the events page on the GW website, it looks like the regular candy cane won't be available. Oh well. The green ones are still useful, but I'm not that excited for them now. I guess I'll get a stack of 250 snowman summoners and just wait for the hats.
puteh
you will get hat at the last day of the event.

aaa ok that cool but are Deccayed orr Emblems used any 1 knoiw?

So the purpose of Candy Cane Shards still remains unknown.

ive read a thread that say it will be ectos.idk what thread it is.i just found the thread and i read it and it say it would be ectos.
Linksys
There are collectors in Lions Arch. I think one of them is taking Decayed Orr Emblems. The collector has the green candy canes but not the red ones. So basically those who saved up a ton of Emblems have to settle for those. And this makes the regular candy canes from last year worth more because of the comparison value and because there are less out there(because there were less gamers last year getting them and from people using them since then).

Oh and i remember from the Gaile chat she said holiday missions will be added on the 23rd. So theres our frozen ectos.
Chieftain Heavyhand
What a jip, they changed the number of Singed Gargoyle Skulls and Candy cane effects. Every town but Ascalon has 1 item that trades 1 to 1.
Edit:
Oh well guess I need to do 2 things farm skulls harder or switch to farming stuff that trades in LA.
Thanks A-net for at least doing Wintersday this year.
Merry Christmas everybody

- No one know's what frozen ectos do because they aren't ingame yet
- Therefore no one knows if you can salvage normal ectos from them - which is very unlikely.
Even if someone on your forum said this, they are most likely talking rubbish, speculating or just flat out lying/pulling your leg.
Wait till they added ingame and stop dicussing something which no one as an answer to.
Lavindathar
Guess them 100 Candy cane shards ive got are useless 
I hope they add something for them...

Well it's great the collectors have arrived. One thing that bugs me though are the incredible lags I experience while farming the stuff, almost impossible to play, let alone play fast. I think everybody and their grandma are farming at the moment.
EDIT: candy cane shards can be used in the grand finale according to the event details.

Didn't the write-up say the shards would be used the last day "for mischief or for good"? Sounds like they're slated for something fun........

I'm farming right for 5 hours Orr Emblems and got close to 500+ of them where I farm at least 20 Emblems in 10 minutes is around 100 in a hour. I take every hour 1 rest periode because of the anti-farm stuff affecting the Emblem, and Candy drop, as well less undead in the area.
I'm trying lots of places where farming is most effective. Charr Carvings drops aint that good as the Emblem one, but I heard the Singed gargoyle is nice as well, gonna try that out now.
People in Lions and another places are still Curious where those Shards are for. I think we are able to buy some Candy weapons, maybe the Hat has to be purchased now like the Dragon Mask with the Orbs.

While the new Wintergreen Candy Canes (WGCC) arent as effective as last years, they still have their purpose. The way I see it, they provide more flexibility.
So now you can decide to use the WGCC after saying just dying once without "wasting" a full original CC. And if even you reach -60DP, just use 4 WGCCs. They're cheap and plentiful at the moment and work just aswell
Farm it up people, so that we never have to deal with -15DP ever again!

There are some other items available. At least one of the quests in Kamadan offer Winterfest shields, etc. as quest rewards. Peppermint Shield and something else.

Sir Skullcrasher
Going to farm some items so i can trade it in to the collectors! Can't wait to get my stack of items this weekend!
geminisaga
wers good spot to farm decayed orr emblem?
Sir Skullcrasher
I like to know that location too!

Gates of Kryta mission. Kill the first few undead that are chasing those two Krytans, then run behind the house near Oink and down a hill to a Hellhound and some Ghoul popups. Once the Hellhound or all the Ghouls are dead you'll get a huge wave of undead that come at you. Certain builds (W/Mo with Judge's Insight and Cyclone Axe, for example) can take care of all those undead in <10 minutes. You'll get plenty of orr emblems and a few candy cane shards per run. An added benefit is that runes and gold items seem to drop frequently, so you can make some cash off of those, too.
You can find other good Wintersday farming locations and builds here and here (second link talks mostly about Singed Skulls).
