It says on guildwars.com to save your candycane shards for the finale... did they mean the weaponsmith or will there be another use for them? If so, some people could be really dissapointed if they used their shards on weapons and then didn't have enough for the finale...
Also has anyone found out how to get Rainbow candycanes yet?

I don't think anyone really knows, on either count. Well, aside form Anet employees of course.

Is there a weapon smith for the candy cane shards?

If it says save them for the finale then I guess there will be a use for them.
You can always exchange them for weapons after the finale.

No, they add things each day so just wait.

Hope there will be another use for candy cane shards. I'm not going to fill my inventory with all available Candy Cane Weapons

I have a feeling that they could be used to trade for the hat(s) if you happen to have missed the finale. 
-.-
^No they won't.

Hehehe it pretty cool that durning events not gold counts but something everyone has the same amount of, shards ofcourse.
I'm also very curious what's going to happen in the upcomming days. Last year it wasn't as much fun as I have now, farm, get shards, snowball fights, crazy events organised by people, I even help loads of people to do missions for fun, no idea where that comes from, must be the Wintersday spirit.

I've been tempted to sell mine, but I think I'll hold out for the finale...sounds like they may be linked (i.e. shards for rainbow CC's).
Bane of Worlds
I'll save mine too as it did mention that one should save the CC shards for the finale...

I'll be keeping my shards. I've seen the regular candy cane weapon smiths. But are there any for the shields and gingerbread focus? I'd like to pick up a couple of those.
Esprit
Morale Boost? Interesting.

I wonder what happens if you use one when you have DP?

I tried to start a rumor that rainbow candy canes give a morale boost. Who'da thunk it 
Redfeather1975
Mmmmm. Candy! 
There are a lot of ritualist players in this topic.
I think they like the candy.

Hmm, do you think you have to trade CC Shards or this year's collectibles (i.e decayed orr emblems) for rainbow CC?
natuxatu
I really hope they add a wintergreen candy canes collector that takes shards.
-.-
Another business opportunity guys.

Morale boost = recharge signet.
Sasuke The Betrayer
Omg. Just realized that. How cheap can that be. But there's also something itching me. +2% morale boost... so that means in an 8 man party you get a total of +16% morale boost, hardly higher then a green CC. But still, recharge skills/work on whole party ftw.
Omg. Just realized. Imagine if your battling Mallyx... you could do an infinite amount of MS if you have enough CC's, and a BiP

Not sure if anyone has said yet.
But oddly Candy Cane Shards drop in Pres-Searing
Shame they have no purpose in Pre-Searing.

The shards are dropping in Factions as well, all good for those with multiple chapters - but the person(s) with only factions , annoyed at what it may have been.
I sort of understand pre-searing, but Factions? The event is not even in that chapter.
Anyway, having fun jumping from Tyria to Elona and back - with the occasional trip to Cantha. Those Treasure Chests, etc have been a boon to the bank and some pretty nice drops as well.

It's weird that Candy Cane Shards would drop in Cantha, yet the entire Wintersday event seems to have skipped Cantha. Oh well, I'm hoping the CCs have another use at the end.

"Candy Cane Shards: Collect these colorful fragments by questing and competing. The outcome of Wintersday hangs in the balance, and your contribution of Candy Cane Shards may make all the difference. Besides, you never know what somebody might trade for these once the festivities come to a close. Tip: Hold onto those shards until the Wintersday finale and use them for good (or mischievous) intent!"
That's a quote from the guild wars main site. Notice that the candy cane shards need to be contributed to effect the outcome of winter's day during the finale. We may use them for good or mischievious intent. Are the circles going to play a part in the event? They do show a duality. Will we have to "bet/contribute" with the shards and step into the circles ala the dragon festival?
And the thing that really makes me go hmm... "Besides, you never know what somebody might trade for these once the festivities come to a close." Perhaps this mean that unused shards will have a collector? Did Gaile mention that the first weekend of the new year will have a smaller, less signifigant event that we will love? Maybe these don't get used there, but they still hint that the shards can be traded. Maybe the rainbow cc maybe not... all guesses, but I haven't yet seen someone mention that the main site says that WILL the have a use AFTER the finale.

Hopefully people will organize in each district and agree on who will win, Dwanya or Grenth. That way you can choose which hat you want. Just check the districts for the one you want.
