  • NOTE - If your district is created after the Avatars appear, they will not come and your district will not take part in the event. To be safe, it is best to map to the town at least 5 minutes before the event is due to start. Also, to prevent from being logged out from lag, you might want to go to a district without as many players.

Snowman Summoner Snowman Summoner: Need an instant snowman? This gift is for you.
Eggnog Eggnog: The holiday season's staple drink.
Spiked Eggnog Spiked Eggnog: A more potent glass of 'nog for the hale and hearty. Please imbibe responsibly — don't drink and quest.
Wintergreen Candy Cane Wintergreen Candy Cane: The return of the adventurer's favorite candy treat.
Rainbow Candy Cane Rainbow Candy Cane: A different flavor of candy cane that should also make long days of questing more enjoyable.

Candy Cane Shard Candy Cane Shards: Collect these colorful fragments by questing and competing. The outcome of Wintersday could hang in the balance. Besides, you never know what somebody might trade for them, (but you might want to hold onto your shards until the finale, and use them for good... or mischievous... intent).
Peppermint Candy Cane Peppermint Candy Cane: Removes all death penalty. Not usable in PvP.
Winter Gift Winter Gift: Make a special child happy, and you may just receive a special gift.

Obtaining your Wintersday Hats[ | ]

WD07-GS

Rally support, don't try to take on Dwayna or Grenth by yourself...

To receive a Wintersday hat, you must have a character present at one of the finale events in either Lion's Arch or Kamadan. The hat you receive depends whether Dwayna (Wreath Crown) or Grenth (Ice Crown) wins the particular district you're in, which in turn depends on the number of people supporting each god. While this may cause an element of randomness as to which hat you receive, players typically band together to control which deity wins each district, therefore ensuring everyone can get the hat they want.

In order to create an easy method of securing headgear from Grenth or Dwayna, the Even-Odd system from last year is continued being used by most players again. If you would like Dwayna headgear in a particular town, stand on the blue or green circles in even-numbered districts. If you would like Grenth Headgear from a particular town, stand on the red circles in odd-numbered districts. In this fashion, headgear can most easily be acquired by anyone simply by choosing an odd or even numbered district in Lion's Arch or Kamadan. However, there may be exceptions, especially in non-English districts with lower population. If you're unsure as to which god your district is going to support, ask other players in-game and change districts if necessary.

Players with both Prophecies and Nightfall can get both hats back to back, as Lion's Arch is timed to be 15 minutes ahead of Kamadan. If a player receives the Dwayna hat in Lion's Arch, for example, that player can then immediately jump to an odd numbered district in Kamadan to receive the Grenth hat.

Candy Cane shards are required in order for your vote to count; however, they are not required for the festival hat.

Until Jan. 8, 2008 you could go to a Festival Hat Maker NPC and get both 2007 hats, even if you weren't at the finale event.
