How to get more Candy Canes?

The only way to get Candy Cane is from opening those Presents on the map??

I want to buy a few things but I don't feel like searching for that many gifts. T_T


What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.

Doing the Holiday trial is an option. You can choose candy canes as an end of trial award.


ATs to 50 - TA/A Def, Nrg/Nrg Blaster, EM/EA Brute, WS,ELM/ELA Stalker

If you have access to the Auction House, they're for sale there.

Also the Winter Missions will award cc upon completion iirc.

Farm Lady Winter you can solo her mission in like 3 minutes. It's better on teams because she has a nasty damage debuff. Had to use Placate to let the debuff go away because my Total Focus was doing like 30 damage or something.

(Plus you say 'Lady Winter team' on broadcast in Freedom Pocket D and in 1 minute you have 8 ppl)

her dmg debuff is prolly in the form of chilling embrace, shes honestly much easier to fight on a ranged toon since she only has like 2 ranged attacks one of which is very weak lol

I've never noticed the damage debuff, and no way whatever damage debuff she has would cause your TF to hit for 30. That said being in melee with her still isnt a hot idea because of her huge stacking resistance debuff.

I farm her on my fire/cold corr.

Remember to level up someone to level 10 so you can buy your winter's gift 20% slow resistance for all of your toons ( ' ;

How long does the Winter Gift slow resistance last? 7 days?


What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.

Do you guys farm her at AV or Elite? Or she is always AV?

I fought her on my lvl 34 Beam Blaster but she was an AV and I have no set bonuses to last long.

It lasts as long as you have the IO slotted and are no more than 3 levels below the level of the IO.

I did do that one year, but then I realized that they really don't cost all that much and it was just easier to buy them as needed.

Winter's Gift: Slow Resistance is an IO enhancement. It's one of three recipes you buy with Candy Canes. The set is a Universal Travel enhancement set.

I may have exaggerated because I haven't done it the past 2 days or so but I'm positive she turned my TF into double digits, maybe 30 was some other attack like bone smasher because I was kinda impressed. Might even be close to 100 but it was extremely significant since I was farming her on a 50+1 IO'ed Stalker and she was only an orange EB, my initial strikes (not hidden AS) were taking a pretty good chunk of her health, after the first time she debuffed me I was hitting her a lot and just chipping her health bar until I noticed the numbers and decided to placate, waited a bit and then after three hits she was gone. Anyway it looked like a pretty hefty debuff to me, I'd get a combat log but there are days I just can't log in to the game (burnout). Doesn't matter much anyway because at least on freedom it seems a lot of people don't know how to get the mission (go figure) or find her difficult because all the time they're 'lf lady W team' and you can assemble one in no time. I stopped farming her solo after I saw so many people asking, plus it's faster because by the time people enter the mission I have already destroyed 2 or all 3 boxes

I just killed her using my 51 Ninja/FF MM. She actually has no level. She is like a Giant Monster right?

At first I thought you have to fight her as GM (why else would people need to seek for a team?) but then I joined one team and Lady is only Elite.

Oh well, I find it more satisfying to kill her as GM or AV. It's an AV with no level. The first time I set it at +1 and then I set it at +4. I don't notice her being much more difficult at +4 setting.


Lady should be pretty tough for melee that doesn't have -slow/recharge resistance. She does tons of -recharge debuff. Luckily my Ninjas are not affected by it but her two Ice Swords are actually melee cones. T_T

Yes, the 'purple' combat scaling code is used. Her rank depends on number of players / difficulty setting (at least, it should theoretically).

And if all that -recharge is hurting folks, then that's probably to get them to buy the Slow Resistance Winter's Gift proc.
