What will candy canes be worth eventually?

My guess is anywhere from 100-500 gold...in other words I have no idea really.

All I know is that there will be a LOT of them out there for many many months to come. I myself have about 450 and will probably get 2 or 300 more. Say there are 100,000 out there...how high can the price really go?

I havent seen any posts about how long the holiday festivities last...if its thru New Years, there will SOOO many candy canes I'm not sure they will ever have the value many farmers are hoping for.

If you are farming for candy canes, I have pity. That's like making a game a chore...

Personally, I farm because I'm killing time until Chapter 2.

PvP is well... I dunno. I get frustrated easily I guess. A loss in pvp will actually kill my mood for like, a half an hour (which is weird because I've spent like, 2 hours in mineral springs before with a 45% death penalty with henchies trying to cap shit there, and did it... so it's not like I always give up so easily).

So some of us farm. I figure it'll be good to have the coinage on hand for all the new stuff Ch2 is going to bring.

true candy canes remove all dp, but i hope ppl aren't farming for them just to sell em off in mass numbers...thats kind of sad...dp's bad but hopefully it dont get THAT bad...

Nothing because I'm farming them too and then giving them away.

Well they're an item that will disappear and has a lot of uses (outside of PvP) and they will be used up fast. Their price will spike around Feb.-March.

I love candy canes anyway

hmmm maybe I should be enjoy this time with my family since its Chrismas eve but whatever .

I rarely have -DP. I have 60 canes on me which is way more than enough. I beat the game and I think I died maybe 30 times total.

idk how much they will be worth, but I won't be buying em. I've done fine without em for this long, so I'm not worried. I might far a bit more for em before the holiday is over, but I personally prefer to farm for green items. Their value is dropping fast and I already have jsut about all the greens I could ever want for my 6 chars (one of each prof), but for some reason I like farming for them more than any other item in the game. Plus they are always great gifts for good friends and guildmates. As for this Wintersday stuff...yea...Halloween was better and I hope Grenth PWNS dwayna...Hail Grenth...

Candy Canes are pretty situational and can only be used in PvE.
Sure, you can take off your DP and that's great but it's PvE.


Merry Christmas

What are candy cane weapons soppose to go for in a few months?

Nothing... its a novelty item. Unless there are some hardcore collectors that missed out when the event was on. Other than that I would say nothing but sentimental value.

lmao

dude.....candy canes are gunna be worth SOO much
People are selling them for lots now...their prices can go from 200-500...get ur hands on em cuz they are gunna be used up lots in gvg...and in other pvp areas...and also..they will be usefyull for runner and etc...if u can get ur hands on em tghey will be worth quite a bit...no joke...go get em before u cant get em any more...

Can they be used in PvP?

Rico

I think they will be one of the removed items, i can't see Anet wanting them in game forever, I got some but just because i plan on some hardcore mission action over the holidays and they will help.

If they kept them in then 3 would last you months because there arn't many times you die enough that it matters, plus DP is so easy to get rid of in the first place.

No. *insert text to meet 5 character requirement*

I actually hope they're removed.

It's called "death penalty" for a reason you know.

All the other items wouldn't bother me that much, seeing as how they're basically just novelty items anyway. But the candy cane is an actual functioning item that does something that no item in the game can or should be able to do.
It's like a cheat item.

I'm cool with it as a fun little holiday treat, but I'd be a little perplexed if they stick around beyond the event.

ok i take all this back....i see the light now lol.....ok 1. they cant be used in pvp...which woulda been a big selling point...2 that guy is right dp is pretty easy to get rid of...and 3. i just sold my stash of 300 candy canes lol....whew good thing the guys thought it could be used in GvG...damn im mean...lmao...i just quoted myself...which i think is kinda cool

personally, I think the Candy Canes are gonna be worth a good bit later on, like in March as was said earlier, unless A.Net decides to get anal and makes them disapear (not likely).

As for Candy Cane Weapons, I think certain ones will be worth something to collectors and for VERY specific builds later on.

IMHO, neither is worth farming for or anything, but worth saving. Make a nice chunk of change in a couple of months. Also, Candy Canes helped me get some newbies through Iron Mines so I could get Oath Shot

Should of tested it before posting... the only use I see them for is for when Chapter 2 comes out and theres some uber hard area where its so far away from a outpost that its a chore to start again, but your stuck with 60%DP. Other than that no point.

Weapons are novelties... they just look so wrong but so fun at the same time.

I think this is where I am too...if I can sell my canes for 200+ then I'll only hold a single stack as an investment.

Please not that if they can be sold for 200 at the moment then farming then is far from illogical. If you can get over 50 an hour (I can) then its as profitable as anything else.
