yes, the avatars go to LA, then Kamadan, just showing you how much better LA is, even though the hats there sorta sucked this year.

I must agree... there is a major overflow of cc shards compared to what they can be used for... they should have thought that out a little better.. or not have them drop for the entire wintersday festival.. something.

Alright, I'm a little confused as to how to get some of these hats and I'd really like the two from Kamadan. Let me see if I got this right: All I have to do to get a hat is go talk to someone and stand in a circle? If so, who do I have to talk to? I'm quite confused right now, so if someone could help me out I'd be much obliged.

Now just to get this straight, I have 2 questions.

1) To get a hat, do you have to be in the rings right at the start of the event or not.

2) Do you have to have all your CCS on your person?

There has been talk of how to get hats, but some of the explanations are either misleading or poorly explained. Can someone give a easy simpleton explanation of what to do so an idiot like me can understand? Thanks.

- presents start dropping AFTER hats have been given out
be in the district, anywhere, before hats are given out and you will have one

- CCs make little difference, except for voting for the district
you dont need any CCs to get a hat

go to the respective districts for the hat you want before the avatar appears, then wait on the ring. doesnt need to have shards on you, but shards would let you vote for the avatar. wait until the rounds are over, and you'll get a hat. then presents start dropping.

try to be in one of any rings.

more info and times here.

zone to LA first to get the hats then to Kamadan if u have NF.

If the dis you are in was created after the start of the event you will not get avatars to visit you.

You don't even have to be in the district when the event starts. I got a LA hat, zoned to Kamadan for another and then found a french district in Kamadan where the event was just finishing and managed to get a hat there too, right after I zoned in and ran to the circle.

Yea. You can definately hit all the hats in time if you get in a low LA district early. Cuz then you just bounce to a high LA district get the second hat then bounce to Kamadan since they start 15 minutes after LA then bounce to another Kamadan district to grab the last hat.

*psst*hint:stick around after the last kamadan event is over to nab all left over presents ppl dont pick up*psst*

Actually it was advertised, look in the threads for Gaile Gray posts.

Awww crap. For as much as I use Wiki I'm embarrassed to say that I didn't check it out until you mentioned it.

thanks.

I disagree. I got a total of 27 shards and played during most of the event. Difference is, I didn't farm for shards or any other Wintersday item.

This would have been enough for 3 cc weapons, but I used them for the Dwayna vs. Grenth games, and gave away about half of them to people who needed them. Still have about 40 leftover, due to good luck I guess.

So I have absolutely no sympathy for farmers who are now sitting on piles of cc shards. You pays your money and you takes your chances.

To clear things up:
-You do not need to stand in the rings to recieve a hat.
-You do not need candy cane shards to recieve a hat.
-To recieve a hat all you need to do is be at that district when the avatars give out the hats.
-The hat of the winning diety is given out. Who's rings you stood in doesn't affect what hat you recieve.
(I have all 4 hats, and only participated in the 9-rings game twice)

I hope this clears things up a little.

Whilst I didn't farm then, I did play alot of snowball to get them. I'm pretty peeved at this aswell.

It dropped because the player's inventory was full..they probably have 6 hats in their inventory if they were AFK all day since midnight. The dropped one making 7.
