Notes

  • From its introduction in the Winter Event 2007 to Issue 15, Candy Cane Salvage was found under this salvage tab in-game. With some coding improvements, the limit restrictions to Event Salvage was changed to allow Candy Canes to go in their proper category while retaining their greater allotted storage amount.
