Gargoyle Skulls
Art
Why are people buying these? Do they trade for anything that the other items dont (ex. charr carvings?) The buyers wouldnt say, and they seemed to only want garg skulls.
Victory Gaint
umm have you heard of the holiday items?

Like I said, they seemed to ONLY want garg skulls and not the other items you can trade in like charr carvings.

A. they want collectors items
B. they want Wintersday items
C. they r just plain weird
D. they have necros and are gonna salvage em and use the bones for armor
E. i don't know

If I remember right it is only 1 singed gargoyle head to trade in for holiday items unlike the other trade in amounts. And the gargoyle heads are by far the easiest to obtain.

Gargoyles are weak against ice damage, my ice bow 15-25 does almost 100 points of damage when I use conjure frost and barrage or penetrating shot, my range wears droks studded leather and solos the swarms behind the Nolani Academy, lots of skulls, purples and shards.
My usual take:
1 cc shard
12-20 skulls
2 purple weapons (1 in 5 a mod)
5 blue (1 or 2 precious)
the rest of my inventory full of white

Char carvings are the easiest. Takes less than 2 mins to get 5-10, just gotta know where.

i did charrcarvings on the halloween event. regret it..
got about 2x in corridor.
now im doing grawls outside of surmia and i get aroun the same amount.
however! you need 3 carvings to the 2 necklaces to the collectors. so i choose necklaces
im fond of my ele's flameburst 1-kill, and saying that grawls are hammer/melee,, so its easy to just gather them n kill them all at once.. but the ulyotes or w/e are monks but i just flare twice at them and they die.
if gargoyles weren't mesmers and instead warriors. i'd farm them as well

I think the grawl necklaces drop the fastest, but whether its 2x the Garg skulls I can't say.
I was doing decayed orr emblems with a smite monk, is definitely slower, but the loot is a bit better otherwise (worth picking up). Not enough to compensate for the slowness probably.

ranger's troll ungent can overcome the health degen and the studded leather armor protects against the lightning attack.

To the OP, most people are probably farming candy canes, which clear death penalty. They may be quite valuable after the event.

The only difference between the Char Cravings and the Skulls are the wintersday presents. Since you won't always get something from the necros, but if you want the other stuff then go ahead and get the skulls.

. Also nice to lvl up my lizard.

goes for me as well grawls are so fun to kill with flame burst and inferno.

It is clear that people are buying these because they trade 1:1 for a candy cane. Which can either be held for its DP removing power or traded for more money.
Gargoyle skulls are easy to get. Any hi level character can solo outside of the Nolani mission. Clean out the entire area (not just the immediate area) until you find no more gargoyles, and you got maybe 10 or more skulls. Plus a few shards if you are lucky, plus some dye. I have been farming here a number of runs for skulls to get candy canes and I got a lot of dye drops, including 4 silver and one black!

I personally prefer the Skulls to the Eyes, Carvings or Necklaces, Gargoyles are easyier to kill with my IDS.

grawl is the best, just drop edge of extinction to bomb them

Today, I've noticed a change in skull drops. Instead of walking off with 20ish skulls and 1 cc shard, I had 5 cc shards and 7ish skulls. I've only done one sweep today, but I felt lucky.

well you guys also know that if you take part in the snowball fight, you get a free gift each time you play, right?
dosent matter which side your on, who wins or who loses. you get ether a necro gift for playing on the grenth side, or a monk gift on the dwayna side.
and its actually the most fun i have ever had in a pvp setting >.<
so i hope they maybe keep this as a special for fun only arena up in the shiverpeaks, cause if I am anything like a no PvP person average (and i think i am, played a beginer arena for 30 mins, deleted the char and never bothered again lol)
the snowball arena will get even the non pvpers to play lol....
oh, and yeah, the skulls are good, if you want the bad prezzies
i got a good item from one though....Charcoal
and theres 2 types of candycane shards too....
only anoying thing was you have to map out to open your gifts lol, and theres no storeage....ah well

The shard drop rate seems to have increased. ANet probably want everyone to the the chance to get all the weapons, and figured the original drop rate was pretty low. I've been getting 2 and sometimes 3 per grawl/gargoyle run today.

I've been selling all of my gargoyle skulls. I've made probably 6k in the last 2 days, and that's just making about 6 runs each day max. I got me some nice armor for my monk in quarrel falls!
eom
look where the crpg has taken us.......
I remember a day when your virtual hero would be out questing to save that damsel in distress, or retrieving that old wizard's tome of power that he left in a gnarled tree at orc village.
now, we harvest skulls for cash.
hope it's all still goin' this weekend.
