This was a method players have created to ensure that everyone gets the festival hat they want. There was no guarantee that it worked in all districts. {| class="stdt" ! Grentch Cap (Grenth) || Rudi Mask (Dwayna) |- align=center | Image:Grentch Cap gray front.jpg || Image:Rudi Mask gray front.jpg |} This year, Lions Arch and Kamadan offered the same hats. See Nine Rings (Wintersday 2006) After the event had finished, presents appeared in participants' inventories for the next 15 minutes, even if the character left the area.
