Event: Solorius Winter Park



Look forward to tons of fun with countless events this winter! Atreia’s Winter Park offers lots of challenge and amazing rewards. Plus try your hand at making your own Solorius trees in the brand-new Agrint Hunt and scoop up some powerful items!

[h2] The Winter Park[/h2]

Right in time for the start of winter, the Winter Park in Atreia will be opening its doors. Experience exciting quests, earn experience points, take on world bosses twice daily, and pick up lots of rewards in the process – including the Ultimate Ereshkigal Treasure Chest, Triniel’s Apostle Transformation Fragment, and the [Event] Engraved Legendary Manastone Selection Box!

Running: 13th December (9:00 AM) to 10th January (9:00 AM CET)


[h3]Enter the Winter Park[/h3]

Daily Login and XP

Logging in daily and staying online earns you 10 [Event] Winter Park Coins every 30 minutes (up to 4 times per day). The ice rink is located in the main area of the Winter Park. If you remain in the vicinity, your hero will also benefit from additional experience points.

The Sprint Race

Accept Domenick’s daily task and try to slide down a slope while passing through the gates along the way. Earn 5 [Event] Winter Park Coins as a reward.

The Ice Sculptures

You can also earn 5 Winter Park Coins in this activity. Talk to Ramzi and help collect [Event] Suspicious Blocks of Ice for the beautiful ice sculptures.

The Winter Park Queen

The Winter Park Queen appears daily at 6:30 PM and 9:30 PM on the ice rink in the Winter Park. Defeat her to make the Sweet Snowman and the Christmas Chest appear. The Sweet Snowman gives you 3,000,000 XP and the Christmas Chest can contain between 3 and 20 Winter Park Coins.

Ramzi also offers a daily quest, which similarly involves riling the Winter Park Queen. You will be rewarded with 8,000,000 XP and 5 Winter Park Coins.

[h3]No Holiday for Monsters[/h3]

Atreia’s monsters would’ve loved to have taken time off to celebrate between 20th December and 3rd January, but the Daevas aren’t showing any mercy even during the Solorius Festival! Join them in hunting them down in Gelkmaros and Inggison and take advantage of the chance to loot some rare item drops. They may even drop Christmassy items between 23rd December (midnight) and 26th December (11:59 PM).
