Last year I made a guide for the Wintersday quests available from Old Nickoles in Lions Arch, This year I have upgraded the guide a little and will be adding the extra quests as soon as possible I just wanted to get this out there so the people having trouble can complete the quests ASAP.

There are two quests are available from Old Nicoles:


A Very Grentchie Wintersday:


First you will need to speak to Vehemus Near Firstwatch Sergio in Lions Arch, he will ask u to gather certain items for him.



The first item you will need to gather is termites which can be obtained from Fisherman Finnius in North Kryta Provence, located on the map as item (1).

Next item is Gunk and this can be obtained from Gunk Famer Urme in the Black Curtain, leave from Temple of Ages and head south east, the item is located on the map as item (2).

The third item needed is Garlic, you get this from Necromancer Skorzena in Watchtower Coast (theres a short battle in this part of the quest but it is rather easy as you have assistance from some Elite Guards in the area, Garlic is marked on the map as item (3).

The final item you need to acquire is Unwashed Socks which you get from Drelier Dane in Nebo Terrace (just outside Bergen Hotsprings), marked on the map as item (4).

Your next task is to return the items to Vehemus in Lions Arch.

After speaking to Vehemus he will ask you to meet him outside and then the final part of your quest is revealed.

You must travel with a Grentch to the Ascalon Settlement in North Kryta Provence and destroy 7 Wintersday gifts from Dwayna, after destroying the presents return to Vehemus in Lions Arch for your reward.

MAP:


Here are the quest logs:
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.






Greatest Snowman Ever Made:

The first step in this quest is to talk to Joy, who will ask you to speak to Scrappy Jhim. Scrappy wants you to help him make the Greatest Snowman Ever Made by collecting certain items.



The first item you need to obtain is Coal from Vanguard Kyle in Ascalon (he is near Symon the Scribe).



The second item is a Pipe which you can get from King Jalis in Droknars Forge.



The final item is a Magic Hat from Magi Malaquire in Lions Arch (See Lions Arch Map). Return the items to Scrappy Jhim.

Your final task in this quest is to go remove the presence of Grenthces and Humbugs from Nebo Terrace This is fairly simple.



Return to Joy in Lions Arch for your reward.

Here are the quest logs:
One.
Two.
Three.







Kamadan Quests:

This part of the guide is for the Nightfall Wintersday Quests Available from Elder Skruuj & Grandfather Kringle in Kamadan, Jewel of Istan, talk to either of these two to accept the quests.




Note: Upon accepting either quest from Kringle or Skruuj you will not be able to accept the other ones quest until you complete the current quest or abandon it. (Basically you cant fight for Dwayna and Grenth at the same time)

There are 3 quests available from both Skruuj and Kringle & I decided to do just 1 map for each person's quests so as to save download time on the guide, hopefully the layout isn't too confusing but if it is please say so and I will do my best to update it all before the Wintersday event is over.

Grandfather Kringle

Map:


Save the Reindeer:

For the first part of this quest you have to meet up with the Frost Maiden in Fahranur, The First City just outside of Jokanur Diggings. She will then ask you to help find some Kidnapped Reindeer.

The first group of Reindeer can be found south-west of where you first meet the Frost Maiden in Fahranur across a bridge and will be guarded by a few Humbugs after killing the Humbugs the Reindeer will follow you. Next head south again to the next group of Reindeer that will be guarded by some Grentch kill these and then return to the Frost Maiden.

Now you have to travel to Mehtani Keys to save some more Reindeer so map to Kodlonu Hamlet and and meet up with the Frost Maiden again just outside the eastern portal of Kodlonu.

For this part of the quest I found it easiest to head south to the bottom left island then head east as along the way to the first group of Reindeer you can find a Treasure Chest (you don't need a key to use these and generally they contain a nice item of good value and some gold). After rescuing the third group of Reindeer from the Grentch and Humbug's head north-west a little to the island closest to Mehtani Keys and cross the bridge that is in the middle of the island to the northern most island here you will find the fourth group of Reindeer, rescue by killing the Grentch and Humbugs and return the Reindeer to the Frost Maiden.

Map to Kamadan to collect your reward from Grandfather Kringle.




Find the Stolen Presents:

The second quest available from Kringle involves finding stolen presents with the help of Rudi (the red nosed Reindeer).

Meet up with the Frost Maiden again this time in Plains of Jarin outside [color=Green]Kamdan she will be accompanied by a Reindeer named Rudi who will help you on your quest to find the presents (Rudi's nose lights up each time you near a present, the reason for adding this is because the presents don't actually show up when holding down the alt key as the presents are nameless).

The first present is just north of Kamadan, the second is located where it says "Jarin" from "Plains of Jarin" on the map, the third can be found south-west a little from Sunspear Great Hall. Collect all 3 presents and return them to the Frost Maiden who will then ask you to meet her in Innur Isles to collect another 3 presents.

Map to Beknur Harbor and exit through the eastern portal and meet up with the Frost Maiden in Innur Isles. The first of the second group of presents is just south-east of Beknur Harbor same as the first 3 presents there will be Grentches and Humbugs protecting them, the second across the other side of the map close to Kodlonu Hamlet in the marshes the third is just north-west of the second, collect all 3 presents return them to the Frost Maiden just outside Beknur Harbor.

Return to Grandfather Kringle in Kamadan for your reward.




Spreading the Wintersday Spirit:

The third and final quest from Kringle involves taking a break-dancing Festive Moa to people to improve the Wintersday spirit .

Map to The Astralarium and meet with the Frost Maiden in Zehlon Reach to learn how the Festive Moa can spread Wintersday spirit. She will ask you to accompany the Moa to the village in Zhelon Reach and play some music that the bird can dance to (any music emote will do i.e. /flute, /guitar, /drums, /violin), do as she asks and lead the Moa to the down spirited people and play some music for the Moa until the people in the area have uplifted their Wintersday Spirit. Return to the Frost Maiden.

Now you will have to repeat the same process for another group of people in a village in Innur Isles, so map to Beknur Harbor, head out the eastern exit, meet the Frost Maiden and Festive Moa, lead the Moa to the village and play some music again then meet back with the Frost Maiden.

Return to Grandfather Kringle for your reward.




Elder Skruuj

Map


White Mist:

The first quest from Skruuj will involve you having to destroy three Freezie Wannabes in Plains of Jarin. Use the portal to get to the Plains of Jarin and meet up with some Humbugs right outside the portal. Accompany the Humbugs to the first Freezie which is right near the near where you first start, after destroying the snowman head to the the next Freezie which can be located just east of Sunspear Great Hall destroy this snowman then head to and destroy the final Freezie Wannabe just north-west of Sunspear Great Hall.

Return to Elder Skruuj for your reward.




How The Grentches Stole Wintersday:

The second quest from Skruuj requires you to meet with a Grentch squad in Fahranur, The First City and capture a Wintersday Stocking filled with presents by killing 5 groups of Brrl's who will be accompanied by some Yeti's and 1 Polar Bear named "Ursula the White" (for a game that struck having a Panda as a pet because its death would be seen as Sacrilege, its quite surprising they let you kill a Polar Bear). Map to Jokanur Diggings head south to where you rescued the fourth group of Reindeer (from the "Save The Reindeer" quest) kill all 5 groups protecting the Wintersday Stocking.

Return to Elder Skruuj for your reward.




The Gift of Giving:

The third and final quest from Elder Skruuj will involve you mapping around areas of Istan and delivering 5 Special Presents to certain people, needless to say these are no ordinary presents.

These are the 5 people and their locations (which can be found on the map above).

1. Deliver a special present to Bahbukar in Churrhir Fields.
2. Deliver a special present to Timahr in Plains of Jarin.
3. Deliver a special present to Ashigun in Zehlon Reach.
4. Deliver a special present to Kanyama in Issnur Isles.
5. Deliver a special present to Tesserai in Mehtani Keys.

Return to Elder Skruuj for your reward.


I would do a small little guide for the Rift Wardens quests but those quests are fairly straight forward, snowball rules!
(I will provide a few tip's though):

1. While doing these quests it is best to activate the skill "Hidden Rock" before each fight, you should only take 2 hits from each snowman this way as it slow their attack speed and knocks them down.

2. Continually press "C" or whatever key you have bound to target the closest enemy, this way you can see if they activate the skill "Hidden Rock" themselves, use the Fortress skill if you see them use this and it will have no effect on you.

3. When facing the final boss use the skill "Snow Under the Shirt" or whatever it is called on him that with hidden rock should make it a rather easy fight.

[B]
I hope that this guide is of use to anyone reading it and I will finish by saying have a Merry Christmas, a Wonderful Wintersday & a Happy New Year everyone.


(If the image sizes are too large please say so and I will reduce them or add them as a link instead of on the page, I needed them large so that it would be easier to navigate).
