Talk:Wintergreen Candy Cane

Speculation
Green Candy Cane: The return of the adventurer's favorite candy treat. that sounds like the old dp removing CCs, but if so, how come it's 'green' and not 'peppermint' ? Foo 04:33, 18 December 2006 (CST)

 * I'd be very happy to find out that it's the same item with a different name. Foo 10:06, 18 December 2006 (CST)

 * Nah. if you used to use CC at 30 or 45 dp, then those would be worth 1/3 to 1/2 of the originals. but the new ones can be used as soon as you die, which means you can always be at 0 dp without wasting anything, which will help you prevent the next death. so they are obviously not as good as the original ones, but they are still worth collecting.

Ok the point is u cannot get peppermint CC anymore so this is the next best thing

obvious maths?
''It has been found that Wintergreen Candy Canes Remove 15 points of DP. It will take 4 Wintergreens Candy Canes if you are at 60 DP to take you to 0 DP.'' - Is this necessary, it is just a repetition and then some simple maths.. --Lemming64  19:26, 22 December 2006 (CST)


 * Part of the reason I took it out :) --[[Image:SmallMapleLeaf.jpg|User:ImbrilShadowfire]] Imbril Shadowfire  19:27, 22 December 2006 (CST)


 * It's also wrong, cause it's much easier to die once you already have some dp. if you use a wgcc after 15dp, it will delay your next death, and overall, you can get to 60dp much much faster than get to 15dp four times. Foo 19:35, 22 December 2006 (CST)

It is confusing to some that are not math friendly sorry for trying to explain things better. I wont update Wiki again..


 * No need to take it so personally, but we just don't want to clog articles up with unnecessary fluff, and I am afraid that 4*15 = 60 qualifies, sorry if this sounds harsh. --Lemming64  19:54, 22 December 2006 (CST)

so 15% of 60 is 15?


 * -sigh- read Death Penalty or something. --Lemming64  20:05, 22 December 2006 (CST)


 * It is ambiguous. I took it as 15 points of dp (ie. 15% max health reduction), but it could mean 15% of the dp you have (ie, 15% of 60). That's not the case, of course...? --Silk Weaker 23:34, 23 December 2006 (CST)


 * Death penalty is an effect. When you die you get a percentage of that effect. If it meant 15% of your current dealth penalty percentage, it would say that. Instead it says 15% of that effect. 15% of something/an item (in this case, the effect called Death Penalty) is always 15%. I have no idea why anyone would think it would removed 15% of x% unless it was suggested to them. A percent of a percent? These people are thinking about that but apparently aren't good at maths?

I wish this item was party-wide; that would really make it much much better than the old candy canes, especially for henchmen/heroes. -69.118.239.3 08:01, 24 December 2006 (CST)
