Winter Event 2020

  • Happy holidays, everyone! We're proud to finally launch this year's Winter world event!
  • You can earn Winter tokens this year from a WIDE VARIETY of activities!
  • This limited time event will be active until: January 15th, 2021 so don't miss out!
     
  • Glacial Beast Hunting
    • Glacial Beasts are roaming the F2P world! Speak with the Winter Hunter at home in order to begin this activity!
      • He will hand you a free Chocolate snowpipe to hunt them with
         
    • These monsters drop winter tokens, winter mystery boxes, prize keys, and Frozen fur
    • Frozen fur can be exchanged with the Winter Hunter to upgrade your snowpipe, or purchase other rewards!
      • Chocolate snowpipe (t2) - Upgrades your regular (t1) snowpipe's damage and accuracy
      • Chocolate snowpipe (t3) - Upgrades your (t2) snowpipe's damage and accuracy (BiS for glacial beasts and the event boss)

    • There are four different variants of Glacial Beasts, each one being more rare (and more rewarding) than the other
      • Glacial beast (light) - Common
      • Glacial beast (medium) - Uncommon
      • Glacial beast (heavy) - Rare
      • Glacial beast (gargantuan) - Very rare

         
  • Winter Imp Hunting
    • Winter imps are roaming the wilderness! The winter hunter can also help you get started with this activity
    • In order to catch Winter imps, you must craft special imp boxes (workshop found next to the Hunter)

    • There are three different types of imp boxes to choose from:
      • Regular imp box - 50% catch success rate, regular rewards
      • Swifty imp box - 75% catch success rate, half of the regular rewards
      • Looty imp box - 25% catch success rate, 2X rewards

         
    • Imp boxes have a chance to break if you fail to catch a Winter imp!
    • When successfully caught, imps grant you winter tokens, winter beads (uncommon), mystery boxes (rare), prize keys (very rare)
    • Winter beads can be used to purchase a Frosty imp box which is an unbreakable & improved box!

      • Barrows activity raised from 100-200 tokens per run to 350-450 tokens per run
      • Players who still have some unused "Drop / Exp / Superior boost scrolls" from the h'ween will now have re-skinned xmas scrolls (useable during this event)
        • Boost scrolls will now carry over to every event if you don't get a chance to use them before the current event ends!

This update has been amazing, the grind to obtain bis gear for event is a really nice idea and was executed very well. Hope we see more of this type of event in the future.
