presents drop on the ground in specific spots in LA, if you pick the, up and run them to a Young Child you get a winter gift [dwayna style],

if a grentch gets to it first BOOM
if a grentch catches you as you run BOOM death nova'd present.

I think it's just a random thing Kidd says. I don't think it's actually a quest in disguise, but I could be wrong.

I believe it's a play on the movie "Christmas Story" since it's followed by the line, "you'll shoot your eye out kid"

Merry Christmas!

Yes, in Lion's arch there's a kid (i don't remember his name) saying all the time "I want tripple-shot bow". I'm not sure, but it can be a quest like gwen's one. Maybe in some place you can find it, i dnt know.

So does anyone think the Icy Dragon Sword is going to stop dropping after the holidays. I hear one guy in LA spamming "WTS IDS 90k, get it before they remove it." Is that just typical scamming? Or is there really truth to that?

From the Ice Imps in the cave at the end of Mineral Springs. Jump to Granite Citadel and nestle yourself into a farming group.

The sword is blue, req. 9 (or 8, i forgot) max damage and 15>50. Just need to get myself one.

Don't be fooled at this. Kimberly throws snowball randomly on w/c she's near at. Just go near her and there's a chance she'll throw the snowball at you. There's also Kimberly-like NPC at Tombs, Droks, and Ascalon.

They also added Grentches in all the major towns. Random gifts pop up like in Snowball Arenas and teh Grentches try to blow them up. Its like a mini game. You try to get the present before the grentches and give them to the Young Childs and they give you a winter gift. I had ltos of fun with this in AC

Oops. Skipped from page 3 to page 5 and missed that this was already said. Sorry.

That's part of the of her script. Nothing special about that. Try to go to LA Dist that has no or little population, and you'll see what I mean.

Hahaha, the Grentch Run in Droknar's is awesome. Did they add it today or have I missed it earlier?

It's easier in Int districts, since there are few people there. But those Grentchie thingies are fast. Really fast
