Most popular places to farm:
Grawl neckalces - Outside Ruins of Surmia. Any class basically, their only lvl4, and do like 4 dmg max.
Charr carvings - In and around Nolani Academy. Most classes, even ele's and such, just put up a fully powered Armor of Earth and the charr do like 2-3dmg.
Orr Emblems - Gates of Kryta. Smite monks mostly. All other classes will have faster time at the above two.

I to swithed to Euro servers, came back, and sold 2 weapons around 20k ea. (This is when shards were like 500ea, not like 1k-2k like they were a few hours later).
I kept the other few i got for myself :\ collectors items.

Do the candy weapons offer ny kind of bonus effects?
And does the candy cane really remove all ur dp?!
Also...ny idea what the individual candy weapons are selling for? I know shards go around 1.5-3k but i seen the candy axe which would originally=6-12k (4 shards x price) go for 60k!

If you don't want to keep a copy of each of these in your inventory, I've made a priority list in order of "coolness"...
1. Candy Cane Bow - love the look, since it doesn't purely look like a candy cane like the others. Also like the 15 damage versus the 10 on the other weapons.
2. Candy Cane Sword - at least this badboy is upside down, and kind of reminds me of those sword canes that I've seen in movies (where you remove the end and there's a blade). Lower than normal minimum damage sucks bigtime, though (since swords are 15-22 max).
3. Candy Cane Axe - boring look (it looks like you're an old person caning someone to death), but at least the damage is above the minimum range (6-28).
4. Candy Cane Wand/Staff - BORRRRING.

Let's say, you have 1000 Candy Canes (not SHARDS!) and Wintersday is over, will you still have them? Or will they be removed cuz Wintersday is over?
I hope not, this is so damn useful!

Are you saying that there are some monsters who drop candy shards?

Grawls seem to do fine for me... And also, you can use their necklaces for some items.
Lord Iowerth
Just to throw in my 2 cents ...
Fastest/easiest way IMHO is to go north out of Nolani Academy to farm singed gargoyle skulls (there is practically a herd of them out there) for two reasons:
1) A good amount of candy cane shards
2) Singed gargoyle skulls = Necromancer Malaise in Ascalon city, who only requires 1 skull per collector's item.
Been averaging about 16-22 skulls a trip, 4-6 shards a trip, with trips taking in the 3-5 minute range.
Happy wintersday everyone!

actually a relief from other farm-exploits
almightytom
does anyone know the difference between the 2 different candy cane shards? one of them says salvage item, and the other (from winter gifts) does not. has anyone tried salvaging the salvage ones? i would, but im afraid it would give me junk and be a waste of a shard.
The Yoink
I know they both can be traded for weapons, and that's all that matters to me
Mr. Squish
Don't bother salvaging the salvagable shard. I tried with an expert kit, and only got a single pile of glittering dust.
Markaedw
the new collectors is ascalon want char carvings, candy canes remove all dp and presenst from the Dwayna followers give items, presents from the Greneth followers explode.
almightytom
ah. kk thx.
