Christmas Event (December)

The Christmas Trees

As you may have already noticed, there are a lot of Christmas trees standing around Juno. Most of these trees are fully decked out and very pretty to look at -- but one isn't. This one undecorated tree is located in the center of Randol City beside the fountain. It's the most important tree of them all. This main tree is the NPC you'll have to talk with to participate in the Christmas event.

The Christmas Tree Decorations

While you hunt, the monsters you kill may drop Christmas tree decorations. You will have the highest decoration drop rate when you are killing monsters that are white-named to you, so get ready to do some SP-farming. There are six types of decorations, all shown below.

Candy Cane	Christmas Sock	Christmas Ribbon	Christmas Jingle Bell	Christmas Ball	Christmas Star

Candy Cane

Christmas Sock

Christmas Ribbon

Christmas Jingle Bell

Christmas Ball

Christmas Star

These decorations are used to decorate the main Christmas tree. To decorate the tree, talk to it and select option 1, "Decorations for a Christmas tree." All of the decorations will be removed from your inventory and put on the tree. Don't worry about missing out on anything, these Christmas tree decorations are only good for giving to the Christmas tree. The more decorations the tree has the better buffs and drops the tree will bestow upon the citizens of Iris as listed below. Each player can get the Christmas tree buffs once per hour.

Buff	Buff effect	Decorations needed
Christmas Blessing 1	Increase item drop rate x4 for 20 minutes	1,000
Christmas Blessing 2	Increase item drop rate x4 for 30 minutes	3,000
Christmas Blessing 3	Increase item drop rate x4 for 40 minutes	15,000
Christmas Blessing 4	Increase item drop rate x4 for 60 minutes	100,000

After each 2,000 decorations that are added to the tree, the trees will drop rewards for players to take and enjoy! Once you see the announcement for the drops, hurry to the nearest tree!

Small Red Candy Cane Recovers 240 HP over 15 seconds	Small Blue Candy Cane Recovers 120 MP over 15 seconds	Parti-colored Candy Cane Recovers 600 HP/MP over 15 seconds
Medium Red Candy Cane Recovers 500 HP over 15 seconds	Medium Blue Candy Cane Recovers 240 MP over 15 seconds
Big Red Candy Cane Recovers 750 HP over 15 seconds	Big Blue Candy Cane Recovers 375 MP over 15 seconds

The Gift Deliveries

Maybe you've seen the Gift Delivery icon already. If you haven't, it is located in the upper left hand corner of your screen in the area where your buffs normally appear. The icon's description should be something like the one on the right. What does it mean? It's quite simple, actually. You see that in this shot my timer says 16hour 2 minute until I will receive a gift delivery. The timer is in game-time and starts at 24hour, then counts down from there. In game-time, 1 hour equals 2.5 minutes real-time. So the timer lasts for 1 hour real-time. Once the timer expires, a Christmas Gift Box will appear next to you, provided that you're outside of a town.

	Yes that's right! It looks like a gasp huge Pandora's Box! Attack the gift box to have a chance at receiving a special present from it. The Christmas Gift Boxes seem to work like the Halloween Pumpkins did, with a 75% chance of spawning a gift and a 25% chance of being a dud. Also, like with the normal pandora boxes, your box and your gift may be KSed if you're not quick. So be careful where you are when your Gift Delivery timer runs out!

The different types of presents are shown below:

Shining Green Santa Hat Permanent	Life Searcher 1-day
Shining Red Santa Hat Permanent	Christmas Grocer Ticket 1-day
Auto Potion Pendant 1-day	Christmas Warehouse Ticket 1-day
Christmas Item Drop Booster Until it triggers	Reindeer Pet Change Book Until event ends

The Gift Delivery timer only counts down while you are logged in. If you relog or teleport into another map then the timer will not start over at 60 minutes (game time) again! After your timer runs out and you receive and open a Christmas Gift Box, you will get a new timer which starts over at 60 minutes (game time).

The Holiday Cheers

Holiday Cheers are temporary buffs that you may receive from the main Christmas tree. To get buffed, talk to the tree and select option 2, "You have received Christmas cheer!" You can see the descriptions for the different Holiday Cheers on the right.

	When you receive the Holiday Cheer, you will also receive a second, matching icon. The second icon is a timer, put there to let you know how long you have until you may go and receive the Holiday Cheer again from the main Christmas tree. The timer's description should be something like the one on the left. This timer lasts for 1 hour real-time, or 45 minutes real-time after the Holiday Cheer buff has run out. When this one disappears, go talk to that Christmas tree again!

Platinum Drop Booster

Well all before this Xmas event we did get Velocity of Light items, but this year it seems that Aeria changed it into this Platinum Drop Booster thing. It gives 2000% chance to get a drop with the next kill and ppl selling them for like 5-20m each. Tried one it works, iludeteirun gave a drop (it barely does)... the quality isn't granted the way I see cause it turned out as a y4+1 bow :(

1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?
