The Advent season is upon us and the first snow is falling over Taborea. People across the land are preparing and getting into the festive spirit…

But new adventures lurk around every corner in this land of magic. This year is no different, as wild monsters walk abroad once more, and we plan a host of exciting events.

So get your weapons polished up ready and come by regularly to find full details on all our winter events.

[h2]Fun in the Snow[/h2]

The snow has fallen through the night, covering Taborea in a soft blanket that sparkles in the rays of the rising sun. Children waking to this piping cold rush out into the deep, cold fleece with peals of laughter to join the great snowball fight. But their good-natured missiles occasionally go astray, hitting monsters who lash out furiously and prime themselves to attack.

Can you protect the children? Earn yourself a boost event in reward!

[h2] Daily Presents from Santa Claus[/h2]

Do you still remember the days when you wrote letters to Santa? In Taborea, it’s the other way around – over the Christmas season, Santa and his helpers will send you letters containing little gifts!

Don’t miss out on any of these cool deliveries. There’s a surprise in store for you every day between December 14th and January 1st, 2021, and you can look forward to various useful items to help you on your adventures. If you have multiple characters on your account, the presents will land in the mailbox of the first character you log in with. Even if you miss a day during this period, it won’t have any effect on the remaining presents.

[h2] Festive Action Feeling[/h2]

While Taborea glitters under the cold mantle of winter, the people are busy preparing delicious feasts and sharpening their weapons. Meanwhile, what with the Snowflake Festival and New Year’s celebrations, even the most ferocious monsters are getting into the festive spirit. In fact, they’re carrying presents with them that any valiant adventurer can “liberate”… assuming they have the guts to take them by force. If you’re not afraid of diving into the thick of battle, don’t let this opportunity slip away.

During the event from December 15th (12:00 PM) to January 3rd, 2021 (11:59 PM server local time), rally your friends and guild mates together and defeat the monsters all over Taborea and get awesome prizes:

• In Pantheon (easy mode) all bosses will drop Coin of Wind (1 Day). Just remember that each boss only carries a certain number of items, irrespective of how many fighters defeat them.
  
• In Sardo Castle (normal mode) Hidden Box and in Aeternal Circle (normal mode) Force Golem Sentry will hide Proofs of Myth.
  
• In the whole world, all monsters will carry special Coin of Petals (30 Days).

In addition, don't forget to visit Owenstein, Hilary, Frank and Eve from December 15th (12:00 PM server local time) to January 7th, 2021 (until maintenance) in Reifort Camp in Sascillia Steppes for additional Christmas presents!

They are searching for rare Rhinoceros Blood, Coin of Petals (30 Days) and Coin of Wind (1 Day) which they’ll exchange for an incredible selection of wares including the Proofs of Myth and the Peak Experience Orb.

Tip: you can purchase Rhinoceros Blood from Black Codex merchants with Ancient Mementos.

Have fun with the events!

[h2]Snowflake Festival[/h2]

Zachariel was a Great Mage of the Eye of Wisdom from the time 400 years ago when the Eye of Wisdom was still residing on the Kolydian continent. He was well known because of his benevolent deeds. In the midst of a harsh winter he would provide the needy with supplies.

Once the people of the Eye of Wisdom had come to Candara, they decided to keep this habit in order to foster a peaceful relationship with the local people. When the season of heavy snow had come they would, just as Zachariel had done, wear a red robe and provide the local people with supplies. This gesture helped many endure the long winters and also built trust between the people and the Eye of Wisdom. Soon we were doing this every winter and it became a custom and was named the Snowflake Festival.

After the Phirius Workshops had been set up, they meant to take advantage of this custom and decided to make some modifications to the red robe and thereafter let their people wear these robes while delivering presents to little children. Their actions won many praises from the people and also allowed them to make more money.

The Phirius Workshops taking a fancy to this custom would make the Snowflake Festival an even bigger event in the years to come. Each year more and more people took part in these activities creating this wonderful and exciting atmosphere that we can experience during the winter season nowadays.
