[[Candy Cane Shard]]s are fragments of striped candy cane that [[drop]] from slain [[creature]]s during the annual [[Wintersday]] event. They can be used to make [[Candy Cane weapon]]s, exchanged for [[Wintersday Gift]]s, or used to complete the [[Frozen Accessory Token]] quests.

==Acquisition==
*During [[Wintersday]], randomly [[drop]]ped by [[PvE]] [[foe]]s, except certain Wintersday quest foes such as during [[In Grenth's Defense]] and [[You're a Mean One, Mr. Grenth]].
**During [[The Strength of Snow]] and [[Straight to the Heart]] the [[Snowman|Snowmen]]/[[Grentch|Grentches]] have a heightened drop rate.
*Participating in [[Dwayna Vs Grenth]] will earn 3 for each win.
*There is approximately a [[Wintersday Gift/Drop rate|5% chance]] of getting 10 shards from a [[Wintersday Gift]].

==Quests==
*[[Prophecies]] or [[Nightfall]]
**[[A Humbling Gift]]
**[[The Polar Depressed]]

==Notes== 
*Each round of the [[Wintersday#Finale|Wintersday finale]] game costs one Candy Cane Shard to participate; two to five Candy Cane Shards can be won.

==Trivia==
*During [[Wintersday 2006]], a collector for shards was added after the finale. 
*In [[Wintersday 2007]], the shard collectors were added in the beginning of the event, being available at all decorated towns.
*Prior to [[Wintersday 2010]], many of the [[Wintersday 2009#Quests|Wintersday quests introduced before Wintersday 2010]] awarded Candy Cane Shards instead of [[Wintersday Gift]]s.
*In the [[Wintersday#Decorated outposts|decorated towns]] prior to the [[Feedback:Game updates/20111215#Wintersday Events 2|December 15, 2011 update]], you received 1 shard for picking up a [[Present (bundle)|Present]] and giving it to a [[Young Child]]. This update also removed the ability to acquire a [[Winter Gift]], which had approximately a [[Talk:Winter Gift|5% chance]] of getting 1 shard from.
*[[Wintersday Hat Giver]]s appeared and collected shards after the last Wintersday finale from [[Wintersday 2009|2009]] to [[Wintersday 2011|2011]].
*The [[Dwayna Vs Grenth#Tournament format|Dwayna Vs Grenth automated tournament]] awarded 7 shards per win.
