"I WILL DECK THE HALLS WITH YOUR ENTRAILS!!"
-You, to Santa Orc
Well, that escalated quickly, didn't it? Deck the halls indeed, Alterans! The Holidays are here, and with them comes a brand new Wintertide event!
All the towns of Altera have been decorated for the occasion - a peaceful glittering snowfall sets the mood in Ironwood, Mana Ridge, and Carderock. A giant Christmas tree has appeared in Saint's Haven near Irine. Underneath the tree is an orc, but not just any orc! It's Santa Orc! But, to be honest, he's a lot like other orcs. He has a challenge for you!
Meet up with Santa Orc in "Santa Orc's Run" in the Daredevil Faire. Your objective is simple: chase down Santa Orc and knock him down using one of your class's knock-down abilities. If you're lacking in the knock-down department, pick up Giga Bomb items that appear in the dungeon. These items can be used to knock down Santa Orc. If you manage to knock down Santa Orc, he will have a chance to drop his sack of goodies!
Knocking down Santa Orc may seem simple in theory, but in practice - well, let's just say Santa orc is nothing without his Red-Nosed Poochums and Workshop Goblins! Santa's Goblins will hurl snowballs at you while Red-Nosed Poochums do what all poochums do - become an annoyance if not dealt with swiftly!
Santa Orc's Sack contains an assortment of items, including a random amount of Wintertide Coins, Holiday-themed stat boosting snacks, and even a 7-day Pegasus mount.
"Wintertide Coins?" you ask? Wintertide coins may be spent in Santa Orc's shop for rewards that include Magic and Rare grade costume Reindeer Antlers, Class Change Scrolls, Skill Reset Scrolls, Holiday-themed stat boosting snacks, and a Snow Poochum pet.
Wintertide Coins are also rewarded for staying logged in over a period of time, so make sure to log in daily and spread some holiday cheer this season!
