~ Yes, you can do both quests on the same Character.

As far as I know, to get Candy Cane Shards, you salvage christmas gifts you get from the christmas collectors, and drops from monsters such as Mergoyles and Fire imps.

~ Do NOT try do any of these quests if you have the "Defend North Kryta Province", just abandon it, do these 2, then go back to Glint in Droknar's Forge to re-start it.

First.. thanks for the walkthrough, was very helpful!

Second.. the boss at the end of Joy/Snowman quest has Grenth's Balance. Presumably you can capture it off him (I don't remember when you first get access to it, this might be earlier, or it might be a quick way to get it if you missed it before).

And finally.. if you plan to do both quests, plan to complete them -at the same time-, it will save you some walking. the Grenth quest ends at Ascalon Settlement, and the Dwayna quest ends at Nebo Terrace, which is right next door.

Candy cane shards are random drops from monsters
Haven't seen the crafter for them yet he may be trying to catch a subway in New York?

Grentchie Wintersday and Defend North Kryta Province don't work together. Termites isn't on the beach when you have both.

Yeah I just wondered that when I did it on my W/Mo just now.

I said he was there as; when I was doing it for the first time on my Mo/N, I wasn't watching GW, but was in a team-in-progress in Bergen Hot Springs, and I was typing up this walkthrough, came back to the GW Screen, and the team had already done it all. ;\ So I just ran about and saw him there, so I presumed he was there, lol.

Anyone wanna confirm were he is? Lol.

He's at the gate first, stealing the socks. THEN runs to the place on the map

Peppermint shield is a reward for Grentchie Wintersday.

Also, I saw candy cane shard drop off Gargoyles when I was farming them for skulls. It's rather rare, however.

Seems to be a scam. People say its Magi Malguire in LA but he's only selling Signets of Capture.
