Price Check: Candy Cane

[THAC0]

Looks like an old character of mine had this little gift from the Devs...from some time ago. Sure, its not just a Candy Cane, but is really a Heal Moderate Wounds 2d8+3 (even for WFs) wand in disguise.

It has a full 30/30 charges and 100% intact (no damage). Not bound to account or character either as far as I can tell from reading the description.

Now realistically, I would not expect somebody to actually USE this as intended... but is sure is cool running around town in my red pirate cap, red robe and candy cane in hand. I've had several people comment on this and ask me what quest I ran to get it.

So... aside from its intended purpose (and base value of 500gp).... what would a collectible such as this go for? Not sure if I would want to part with it... but I am curious. I also have a slice of Cake in my pack too, but I think that is bound.

Thanks for reading my question.

I'm curious still.

These aren't really worth all that much. IMO they never really were.

With the ability for players to get similar (or better) items from the Turbine Store I would guess that you won't even see Candy Canes as one of the possible Festivult turn-ins this year.

The fact is that drinking a cure/repair serious potion/oil is more effective since the pot/oil will give you more HP. It's also easier to drink a potion/oil on the fly or while in combat as opposed to having to a Candy Cane which requires you to equip it in your hand before activating it.

Personally I'd just use it up or junk it. Candy Canes were kind of neat when they first came out but they just aren't as efficient as potions.

Thats what I figured. Its more of a novelty item now.

Seen you guys running around and said Hi to a few. Thanks for the response.
