Great news, decorators! We’ve extended the Winter House Deco Contest deadline through this weekend, giving you a few extra days to finalize your festive designs. Judging will take place next weekend. Thank you to everyone who has participated so far, your creativity is truly inspiring! For full contest details, visit:

The Garnet Dyes have been re-added to the Donation Dyetub Vendors at Yew Bank until Jan 17th and an issue has been fixed that caused them to become unavailable at the start of the year.

The current option to collect a single bulk order deed every 6 hours has been replaced with the ability to collect 21 bulk order deeds, with a cooldown of 6 days and 17 hours.

This change serves two purposes: it gives more casual players the opportunity to engage with the Bulk Order system and frees up additional time for players to focus on other aspects of the game.

This change will go live after the server restart.

🎄 Beware: Krampus Awaits in the Winter Dungeon! 🎅

Deep within the icy depths of the Winter Dungeon, Krampus lies in wait, ready to challenge the bravest adventurers.

Want to face him again? Use Krampus Bait, available for purchase from Santa at his Workshop, to summon him once more!

Gather your allies, gear up, and prepare for an epic showdown against the holiday menace. Will you emerge victorious?

Good luck, adventurers! ❄️🔥

• Treant Hatchet added as a BOD reward costing 75 points. Using this hatchet has a chance to spawn a Reaper monster which will scale in difficulty based off the wood type being cut.
• A Bulk Order Vendor is available at Moonglow Bank with hatchet for testing.

SANTA'S FOR-SALE OPTIONS: it looks like many of the items were inadvertently disabled on Santa's sell-list this year and we've corrected it so all of the items will be available that are intended, sorry for the confusion! Santa's listings have been fixed!

We will work on adding some new additions very soon as well.

Winter Dungeon: we have increased the spawn rate in the Winter Dungeon once more

Santa Claus hath been saved from the wrath of Frostfang and has been led back to his shop where he is happy to trade for gifts! Happy holidays everyone, good work on saving Santa!

A chilling adventure awaits in the new Winter Dungeon! Frostfang, a fearsome Wendigo boss, has kidnapped Santa and is holding him hostage deep within the icy caverns. It’s up to you to brave the dungeon, defeat Frostfang, and rescue Santa to save Christmas!

What You Need to Know:

• How to Enter: Head to Santa's Workshop and travel North. Look for the hole in the ground marked as "Tunnel" on the minimap. A Wandering Healer is nearby to assist in your journey.
• Dungeon Rules: The Winter Dungeon is a Guarded Zone, but beware, monsters are immune to Guards. You’ll need to rely on your wits and strength to survive.
• Rescue Santa: After defeating Frostfang, speak to Santa and escort him back to his Workshop in Windemere. Santa is invulnerable but keep yourself safe along the way!
• Start Trading: Santa must be rescued before he can open his Workshop and start trading Candy for festive gifts.
• Unique Rewards: Brave adventurers can also obtain a couple of exclusive Frostfang-inspired items, adding a frosty touch to your collection!

Rally your allies, sharpen your blades, and prepare to face the frozen depths. The fate of the holidays rests in your hands—do you have what it takes to save Santa?

Happy Holidays, Adventurers! 🎅❄️

When auto-looting or quick-looting the Elf Food candy-canes, it is currently displaying "+1 ChristmasCandy2023" erroneously. Fear not, this candy is correct and will be used for trading with Santa. The display name for the candy will be updated to properly reflect "+1 Elf Food" shortly. Sorry for the confusion!

A new Ethereal Lizard Mount has been added to the Mount Donation Vendor. See #Staff Spotlight in our official Discord for pictures.

Public Vendor rentals have been set up at Santa's Workshop for the first time ever! Rentals cost 30k to start and are available until January 15th at 9am. Happy trading!
