Collectors
A number of collectors appeared in the above listed event towns, handing out special reward items in return for special collectible items. The selection differed, depending on whether the collector supported Dwayna or Grenth.

Description
During the Wintersday 2007 event, collectors appeared in several outposts within the Prophecies and Nightfall campaign. Each collected a different Collectable Drop and offered some of the following Wintersday items in return:
 * 1) Eggnog is only offered by the followers of Dwayna in Tyria and is only offered by the followers of Grenth in Elona.
 * 2) Spiked Eggnog is only offered by the followers of Grenth in Tyria and is only offered by the followers of Dwayna in Elona.
 * 3) Wintersday Gift is only offered by Wintersday Gift Givers, who do not offer any other items.
 * 4) Yuletide Tonics are only offered by Tina & Terum the Tonic Makers, who do not offer any other items.

Districts For Hats
For the main event and since only either Grenth or Dwayna will win, only one type of hat will be given out for each district. Players will band together to announce publicly which districts will support Grenth and which will support Dwayna so that a player will not be cheated out of a hat that they don't want. Arrive early, ask and pay attention to the public channels if you want to make sure you get a particular hat. Although previous years have dictated that Grenth's followers occupy the odd districts of Lions Arch and Kamadan and vice versa for Dwayna who is in the even districts. These are not written in stone however so it is always best to ask the rest of the district just in case.

Rolling updates
It has been stated by Gaile Gray that there will be more updates before the finale (December 25th was mentioned).
