Trivia

  • The item's appearance is inspired from the final scene of the Template:W story Template:W. The main character views his heart through an x-ray, and watches as it enlarges (known as Template:W) when he discovers "the true meaning of the holiday [Template:W]".
  • The lowest amount of money that a player can spend on Secret Saxtons alone (not including any Secret Saxtons gained via trading) to increase the level of this item to it's maximum would be $495 (295€, £370). The lowest amount of money that a player can spend on Piles O' Gifts alone (assuming that it is used on a full 24-man server every time) to increase the level of this item to it's maximum would be $439.78 (329.78€, £329.78).
