Development and Release History (Rev. 255)

Patch X.20.0.1 Hotfix

December 14

Events

It is time. Craig’s preparations are finally done! His plethora of presents for the Mad God is finally ready. Oryxmas can finally truly begin! That is, if something doesn’t go wrong…

Meanwhile, a new presence has set their sight on the Realms… with the full intention to never let this winter end! Their minions already started taking over the Mountains!

Santa’s Workshop

Enter Craig’s secret location where all of Oryx’s gifts are stored. Destroy as many gift boxes as you can before the Present Protection Extraction protocol is activated! Be quick and loot smart as you’ll have 120 seconds before the gift boxes become invulnerable. The farther you go, the better the rewards are!

This exclusive solo dungeon can be entered using a special key in your vault. You’ll be able to get keys via Daily Quest, drops from event chests or mystery boxes.

Thanks to u/happy_cookie for her incredible work on the Santa’s Workshop.

• Frost Citadel Armor
• Frost Elementalist Robe
