Troyusrex Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Because I've been dealing in Super Packs for the last 6+ months, I have a lot of odd stuff lying around. One of them is hundreds of Candy Canes. I went to the Elf and bought all the badges and temps powers. Now what? It looks like my only real option is Buying, crafting and selling Winter's Gift, which should give a smallish profit. I could get a respec recipe for 500 canes, but that seems like a bad deal since they cost 10X what Winter's gift costs while selling for about the same plus I have 53 sitting in Character Items (not to mention all the free ones I got). Any better ideas? Maybe just throw the canes on the market and take what I get? Do they get any more valuable during the winter event? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImpousVileTerror Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Give them to your Alts and/or friends. Freely. Organize and run events, or donate to others' events. Make a new Alt who is an Elf or a Santa, and drop one Candy Cane in to the pocket of each random player-character you meet. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be able to convert those crafted Winter's Gifts, they count as Rare in the converter. Too bad you can't make peppermint ice cream out of candy canes. 1 Popmenus > Badge List | Optimal Paths | Conversion Possibilities | Emotes Wiki Pages > Costume Color Schemes | Set Bonus Comparison Tables Maps > Vidiotmaps | Optimal Paths | Halloween GM Maps | Winter Gift Maps | Offline Map Viewer Sounds > Banshee Sonic Attack Datasets > Recipe Salvage Components | Badge Name & Settitle ID | Exploration Badge & History Plaque Coordinates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrauleinMental Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 If it matters, all the Candy Keeper's temp powers are actually...temporary. The Snow Beast is sometimes useful, but you probably have a bunch in your email already from the packs. The only one I regularly buy from the CK is the Renewal of Light (self-rez) at 20 canes every 8 days, just in case. If you're feeling saucy, the Duplicating Gift (25 Canes, 30,000 inf) is fun, and it's worth two badges (one for giving, one for getting). You have to be ready to roll with it when you buy it, though, because it only lasts 10 minutes. Grab one and head immediately to a populated area so you can pass it around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any better ideas? Maybe just throw the canes on the market and take what I get? Do they get any more valuable during the winter event? I got as many winter's gifts as I could, then converted them all to Blessing of the Zephyr KB procs when they were selling routinely for 3m or more. Maybe 6 months ago? I got one yesterday for 1.8m, so those days are probably over. Still, given that rare salvage is now selling for a patient price of 425k or so, probably still worth it, unless the rng just despises you while converting. They will get a little more valuable during the winter months. Newer players who don't read the forums, or don't visit them until it's too late will want those badges but lack the canes and feel like they're running out of time pursuing them. But they'll likely never sell for much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troyusrex Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) And why are candy canes going for 50K now??? I just listed about 700 at 40K and half were snapped up instantly and the rest going quickly. Update: less than five minutes later and every last one sold at 50K! Now there was an unexpected windfall... Edited July 25, 2020 by Troyusrex Update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does seem odd--I'd have expected something like that next week, once the Winter Event ends and people want to round out their stocks for badges, temp powers, etc.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ukase Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 I was on a lowbie and sold 20 for 200k each, so I don't think so. Not yet, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreah Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 I see them selling at 70K still. I'm going to unload a few I stocked from last year. This doesn't make money in any significant way, it's just amusement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yomo Kimyata Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 I've been getting into the habit of adding Renewal of Light to my characters. It's a really cheap self-res that gets you back in action quickly as oppose to wakies. Who run Bartertown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to minimize the number of times I distribute Duplicating Gift (in a zone), only because leaving more characters without it allows the people gifted the gift to also get the badge by gifting it to others. Of course, it is impossible to know who needs either badge, but early in winter events there are always a large number of freshly-minted characters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a huge number of players either don't know what it is or don't care. I just think it is fun to run around giving presents to people.
