EVENT12/15/2009 2:28:52 PMThe residents of Erinn have begun celebrating the holiday season, and you’re invited to join them!
A
large pine tree has been set up near the Town Square in Emain Macha.
Sadly, the tree is looking rather bleak and empty. It’s up to you to
fix that! Create ornaments via the Handicraft skill by combining five
Small Gems, five Twigs, five Large Nails, and a single Thick Thread
Ball.
Once
you’ve finished crafting your ornament, hang it on the tree! Check back
often, because the tree will become more and more magnificent as
cheerful citizens continue to decorate it.
In the northern region of Iria, near the giants’ hometown of Vales, a curious pile of snow has formed just outside of town.
Head to
the hill above Vales to investigate further, and you’ll find loose snow
drifts. Stick your hand in the snow drifts to gather some snow, then
use the Handicraft skill to pack the snow into a snowball. Bring
snowballs to the pile of snow outside town, and over time, you’ll see
the friendly shape of a snowman emerge.
It
will take a lot of snow to build the snowman, but once you and your
friends have finished the basic foundation, try using decorations (the
same ones you used to decorate the tree in Emain Macha) on it and see
what happens! Just a bit of patience and effort is all that’s needed to
make the snowman perfect.
As
you participate in these events, you’ll receive keywords. Use them when
you speak to Santa’s Helpers (spread throughout most towns in Erinn) to
get a special Candy Cane and a pair of deer antlers. Equip the Candy
Cane as a weapon to deliver sweet justice to your enemies or bite into
it for a delicious snack!
