No. The first patch was to add more candycane colors, decrease spawn rate, and added shop resell value to the red, green, and purple candycanes. The reds sell for 1k each, and before the rate was decreased, you could finish quest and get a red candycane (1K) in about 2 minutes, which is op money making, not to mention the greens and purples sell for 5k and 25k. So it was either: tons of worthless candycanes with super fast spawn, or have a few candycanes you can sell, but super slow spawn. The second patch which you quoted was them increasing the previously decreased spawn rate (not by much though).

Also I dont think you can get the red, green, or purple anymore...or at least I havent gotten any...so gf everybody who sold them to shop :O

Lolololol that's funny stuff op

Don't forget to add that the purple candy canes (which had 100 cold damage and a freaking amazing proc) were given a level requirement of 100 (FIRST level requirement for an event wand btw) and the new canes, with no level requirement, have terrible damage statistics (the white one has a grand total of 20 cold dmg).

This really sucks i never knew you could seel so everytime i got green or red i gave away to a noob

Wouldn't that make you a noob o.O

Spring Leaf Dryad has been restored


This did not happen. I've been trying to find him for days.
