[h2]New Year Gifts[/h2]
[h2]Snowflakes[/h2]
Following the good old tradition, ships of Tier V and above feature Snowflakes with holiday bonuses. In Updates 0.9.12 and 0.10.0, the first victory or earning 300 XP with a ship will yield you the respective rewards:
  • Tier V–VII ships: 400750 Coal
  • Tier VIII–IX ships: 75 Steel
  • Tier X ship: Santa's Gift container

[h2]New Year Supplies[/h2] The bundles are available until: Mon. 11 Jan. 07:00 CET (UTC+1)

Free daily bundles await you in the Armory. Within these bundles, you can find Santa's Gift and Santa's Big Gift containers, festive camouflages (Frosty Fir Tree, Winter Strands, New Year Streamer, Type 3 — New Year, and New Year expendable camouflage), Coal, doubloons, and 1 day of Premium Account!
    A total of 12 bundles will be available for a period of 20 days.

[h2]Dockyard[/h2]
In Update 0.9.12, players will be able to start building a new Japanese Tier IX battleship, IX Hizen, at the Dockyard. By completing the Dockyard combat missions, you can complete 22 out of 26 shipbuilding phases. Completing each phase will bring you valuable rewards, including destroyer II Tachibana and cruiser V Yahagi for the fifth and 15th phases respectively. Both ships come with the Winter permanent camouflages and Commanders with 6 skill points for these ships.

Completing the 20th shipbuilding phase will reward you with the New Year permanent camouflage that can be mounted on most of Tier IX ships. Among the other rewards, you'll find Santa's containers:
  • Santa's Gift for the third phase
  • Santa's Big Gift for the 10th and 22nd phases
  • Santa's Mega Gift the 24th phase

You can also complete shipbuilding phases by spending doubloons. When you finish construction, you'll obtain IX Hizen with the War Paint permanent camouflage, a Port slot, 10-skill-point Commander, and commemorative flag.

    If you complete the construction of IX Hizen by spending doubloons, make sure to keep progressing through the Dockyard combat missions anyway—completing each phase will bring you 400 Research Points and 200 Steel. In total, you can earn up to 8,800 Research Points and 4,400 Steel.

[h2]Campaigns and Strasbourg[/h2]

Missions of the "Ships and Fates" campaign are already available for completion, but you need VII Strasbourg to complete them.

For completing the first three missions of the "In Pursuit of Strasbourg" campaign, you'll receive 6-skill-point Commanders. As a reward for completing the fourth, final mission, you'll obtain VII Strasbourg, which is required to complete missions of the "Ships and Fates" campaign, along with a Port slot and Winter Holiday camouflage.

Completing six missions of the "Ships and Fates" campaign will reward you with ships adorned in their permanent camouflages, 6-skill-point Commanders, and Santa's Gift containers.
