I have played this game since its inception and have failed to make it to any of the wintersday festivals. My question, how many stacks of CC shards do i realistically need to help me the most with the finale in terms of Lucky/Unlucky farming?
Thx ahead of time for help.
CC Shards and finale?

It doesn't make as big of difference to your title compared to 9 rings, since the finale doesn't go on all day, just once every 3 hours.

So, then my three stacks are more than sufficient?

Heck, about 30 CC shards would be sufficient. I think they play the game like 12 times every finale. It really isn't meant for Lucky/Unlucky ponints at all. I hope you won't spending all your money thinking it was.

No, i didnt buy them. I just ran lair about 50 times for shards and the off chance GW loves me and gives bear pet.

3 rounds with 5 matches each
you only need 1 CCS for each game so 15 CCS per final every 3 hours so 135 CCS if you went to all..

Special Collectable Item: Candy Cane Shard
A Candy Cane Shard is a special item only available during the Wintersday special event. They are classed as both a collectable drop and a Salvage Item.
How to get them?
* Every monster, throughout the game (but only during Wintersday 2008 event)
* Three candy cane shards are awarded to each member of the winning team in PvP snowball fights.
What are they used for?
* You can exchange 5 candy cane shards for a 1 Wintersday Gift by speaking to the Wintersday Gift Giver [Collector].
* You require 1 candy cane shard for each game in the Festival Finale you play in.
* You give these items to Candysmiths who will craft you Candy Cane Weapons in return. See next section for more information.
That in no way answers my question, so go back under your bridge plz!

Wintersday 9 Rings Game (Dwayna Vs Grenth) Playing is very simple, each game costs 1 candy cane shard to play, so make sure you have some in your inventory. This Wintersday 9 Rings finale game consists of 3 rounds per finale, 5 games of 9 Rings per round, so for a total of 15 games. You will therefore need 15 candy cane shards per finale to play in all the games. |

Ooooouch, burned.
Question: why the crap are people buying shards for 100g per? The only drops from the presents that are worth 500g are the rainbow and peppermint candy canes, as far as I can tell.

and you can get multiples from them. ding ding ding.
Two rainbow or peppermint CCs = 1k or more. Two spiked eggnog - 600-800g or more.

pumpkin pie
standing/being in the festival towns during the event, and grabbing presents, giving them to children found in those town would give you cc as well.

Using the drop rate information found here, and assuming the following prices for the possibilities you get from the gifts (all prices are total, not each):
* 2 eggnog = 200g
* 2 spiked eggnog = 600g
* 2 fruitcakes = 200g
* 2 snowman summoner = 300g
* 1 peppermint cc = 1k
* 1 rainbow cc = 1k
* 2 wintergreen cc = 300g
* 1 yuletide tonic = 300g
* 10 cc shards = 1k
I have calculated that the average value of a drop you get from opening a wintersday gift is 477.96g. I ask again, why are people buying shards at 100g per and trading them in for gifts?

Cos the gifts are one of the few items that give all 3 title grind points in one item. And if you are particularly mercenary, you could get more than those values stated. (350gp for a spiked for example).
And as you have pointed out 5 CCS's = 1 gift = 477.96gp / 5 = 96gp (rounded up) for potential value of each shard.
Another thought, people farming for the MPB, are selling their CCS's, so they can farm more, without the hassle of changing for gifts which give items they might not be able to sell easily.
