Hey everyone, Krathan here again! Winter is com-… winter is here!
We have many festive events and things for you to do this year and also many presents! As always, we also have a few Quality of Life improvements which we hope you will enjoy. And finally, more long needed adjustments to both dungeons and items. More of those are to come in the future, of course!
Events
Lots of rewards in the December Login Calendar await our most loyal and active adventurers. Tomorrow, keep an eye out for the new calendar and do not forget to log into the game every day to claim your gifts!
The Ice Tomb is back and can be entered from the Court of Oryx… if Craig does not mess up! Loot tables have also been updated with the new exclusive items from this season.
Throughout the month, most encounters in the Realm are dropping tokens that will allow you to acquire some cool new items:
- Ornaments: a stack of 25 will grant you the exclusive Helping Huntress Skin.
- Bells: a stack of 10 will grant you one of Santa’s magical flying Reindeer that can be summoned to boost your stats for a limited period of time. Can you catch them all before the season ends?
- Primal Ice and Ice Shards: The Tinkerer has gotten an Ice Forge for Christmas and is happy to help you in making powerful Ice Weapons. With 20 Primal Ice he can forge the Ice Weapon of your choice to sleigh enemies with this holiday. Once a day, he will also exchange a stack of 5 Ice Shards into Primal Ice.
- Quests will be available on December 1st.
There are a lot of other Christmas gifts to be found, go break open some chilled out enemies and see what you find!
But be ready for more, adventurers… winter has yet to unveil all of its events and surprises.
