I agree with Lo9. The quest was really bad. It took me a long time to do. And I even used RHQ! The reward? A 500 xp lamp and one QP? Make it at least 1 QPs.
The event, though, was okay. A little difficult to figure out (especially the "go for cold" thing that Lo9 told me about), but the reward is nice. Santa hat prices are flopping up & down now alot.
