They are the same one is just post update...used both to get candy cane sword. It's in Droknor's forge...does not say Collector look for Candy Cane Smilth.

You won't have to make the trek to the forge, Ascalon city has the exact same Candysmith.

He's located in the back area with the murals of the gods. Just head towards the northern section of the city and hold down the Alt key, you'll spot him soon enough.

Screen Shot time! The crafter is here, and you can get stuff like this. Man, I showed this to a guy in LA, and turned down his offer of 16 plat because the Crafter was there then. I still can't believe I did that....

IMO, the easiest place to farm for the Candy Cane Shards is on the Graal outside of Ascalon City. As an added bonus, you also get a bunch of necklaces that you can then trade for Eggnog or Presents back at town

Sadly, at least the sword is not upgradable. The sword and shield don't take dye, either.

And I so wanted a Furious Candy Cane Sword of Fortitude dyed blue.

So far I have seen them drop from mergoyles outside gates of Kyrta. Also heard they can be found in the UW. Anyone else confirm drops at other locations?

You'll be hit with the "SEARCH PLEASE" stick - But basically, they drop everywhere.

Every monster in the game that you can fight, can drop them.

I haven't heard anyone say anything about them yet, and it's simple, they get rid of ALL your DP (even 60%). I'm going to store these babys like hell this event.

I haven't tried in PvP yet, but if they work over there (which I hope they don't), they would be endlessly good!

Don't have the Defend North Kryta quest active when you go for the termites. The fisherman either doesn't spawn or gets killed really quick.

Well then... time to farm... I believe Intricate Grawl Necklaces can be traded in, time to head to Port Sledge.

Not too sure about this. I cleared Ascalon and Regent Valley and the only mobs that dropped shards were grawl and thorns. Killed 10 billion hulking stone elementals and they never dropped one. Maybe just odd luck . . .

Yep, Gates of Kryta is very easy indeed. I'm working on my second stack of 250 Canes now, I think these things will be worth alot to the ones that ran out/never had them after the update, so a stack of 250 will be worth quite something. Tough, I think I'll just keep them

Anyone know if they drop from griffons in augury?
IMO griffs are easier to solo than crap that spawns around ascalon as you can quickly be surrounded by pure melee within minutes.

i agree. i spent over 400k on making 4 of those axes, and then they just took the upgrades right out of 'em. i completely agree with thundergod. they should have left the axe in circulation.

If you fell for it that they'd leave the item in game, too bad. Personally I made a little cash out of it, nothing extreme, but enough to finish my armor (didnt have 15k plate boots, was wearing Knights. I feel so lame) and fix up my armor with the right runes and such.
