What a year 2020 has been, huh? It's time to put this crazy year behind us, and what better way of doing that than celebrating in Erenor? Join the peoples from all across Erenor as we celebrate the dawn of a new year with a Nayah Luna Gift in the Nayah Luna Blessing event, beginning January 1, 2021!



Login to ArcheAge or ArcheAge: Unchained - or both - on January 1, 2021. That's it! Then, click on the Divine Clock that appears on the lower left-hand side of your UI to receive your Nayah Luna Gift. Open your gift to reveal the following:

Nayah Luna Bubbly x21 - It's a good drink, don't let it go to your head!
Nayah Luna Firework x2 - Grants 100 Labor Points upon use.
Gem Carver Crate x2
Bound Crest Brainstorm x1

Please note: You can obtain one box per account, so choose carefully which character you want to receive these items!

This celebration is for one day only, from 00:00:00 - 23:59:59 UTC, so be sure to get your Nayah Luna Gift before your chance is gone!

It's time for some holiday fun! Spell the word Christmas in the Winter Maiden Lottery beginning December 17 for a chance to win amazing rewards.


[h3]How do I participate?[/h3]
Have a chance to drop the letters C, H, R, I, S, T, M, and A* by killing monsters level 50 or higher! Afterward, if you collect all the necessary letters to create the word Christmas, you can combine them to get a Snowflake Ticket! And if you're missing a specific letter, utilize the Winter Maiden Letter Box from the Winter Maiden Festival to pick the letter(s) you need!

* Please note: The descriptions of the letter items state that you only need enough letters to spell "Chistmas" instead of "Christmas". You will need all letters to spell "Christmas" to combine them into a Snowflake ticket.

How do you celebrate the most festive season of the year? With a Winter Maiden Festival, duh! Together, spread holiday cheer and keep Marianople and Austera safe from the icy intruders beginning on December 17. Bah humbug! During the event, festival period rules will be in effect in Marianople and Austera* to prevent PvP from occurring during the joyous season. Getting to the festival zones is pretty easy; use the festival gate in Diamond Shores.

*Please note the localization of the quest "Blessing the Basins" will direct you to Mistmerrow. However, this is incorrect and the festival is celebrated in Marianople and Austera.

During the event, visit the Winter Maiden's Messenger in your capital city to begin a myriad of festival quests! Engage in the festive activities of fending off ice-cold intruders, spreading merry tidings, building snowmen, and completing the Nutcracker to earn Festival Coins!
