hm, something between 100 and 250 gold i would guess. Need to see how it develops. Besides, did i mention how bitchy Anet behaved with nerving candy canes?

The old ones? They're worth a lot I'm sure now. For practical purposes, people can just get four wintergreen candy canes for a full DP recovery. Otherwise, the regular candy canes are now worth more.

I was hoping the regular ones would be available again easily. That way people who still have hundreds from last year won't monopolize the candy cane trade and decide what price to sell them for. I was hoping the market would be flooded with them, the more the better.

Uh wouldnt 4 wintergreen CCs = 1 of the old ones? They stack so whats the difference? Unless its for memorabilia.

True. It just takes more effort to farm for the items to trade for them now.

Agreed, eventually the market will flood with the new CCs. Though I still think that the price of the old ones will drop because of the new ones.

My guess is that the new CC's will be plentyfull till half october next year, and that the original canes will be around 1K again after that. (remember 4 New cc's instead of 1. )

for removing DP , elixers of valour are much more efficient ( put you to 10% morale stright away = from DoA [i got some from a coffer of whispers ] )

well if the old CC's are ~800, then the new CC's will settle at around ~200, i'm guessing.

Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't that just remove 10% of your DP? In my experience when I have DP and I kill a boss, it just removes 2 strikes from my DP.

Put the peanut in the peanut hole!

What im thinking is the old candycanes will remain steady at 1k.

But for the new ones, i'm thinking they will be around 800g. Why?
Not many people wait to get 60% dp to use a 05 candycane. For 1. its pointless because you'd be going around with a heavy dp up until 60% and 2. it seems wasteful for me to use a candycane that removes 60% dp and use it for 15% dp (1 death). so the new 06 candycanes seem a little more smart?
I can definately see green candycanes being sold more than last years candycane.

just my $.02.

I believe that the Rainbow Candy Canes will equate to the old ones - i.e full repair of dp

No, they won't. Gaile commented that the dev team felt the full dp removal was too strong after they put it in. That was why they changed it. The full dp wipeout canes won't be brought back.

It removes any and all dp and gives 10% morale boost.
