Winter Solstice Festival 2015

If you have any questions for the upcoming winter event ... ask here.
Also you can visit the wiki http://drakensangonline.wikia.com/wiki/Winter_Solstice_Festival_2015 many of the questions have been answered there ... so you can scroll in the comments.

 

did they nerf the turrets? or do they still kill ppl in 1 shot?

 

That depends on your stats and gear ... but yes the shooting heads are still the same.

 

I'm disappointed we're no longer scrambling for snow essences. Nothing said happy holidays and good tidings to our fellow players than a little game of you snooze, you lose.

 

BTW ... the challenge maps are full with them
In this picture you can see the tiny dots ... those are the shooting heads.

 

First of all, Thank you wiki admins for giving info as usual
few questions,
All 3 challenges is to save children locked up? or different questlines?
We need snow ess for the mini event boss too?
How many runs on average for each challenge completion?

 

they can still fit more shooting heads on that map lol

 

1. They are all the same.
2. You need snow essences only for killing Big Paws both in normal and hard. (Unless you are able to kill it with silver essence. )
3. That depends on how fast you are.
Every cage is giving x12 challenge progress ... in the first challenge there are only 4 cages and the challenge progress is 2000.
In the last challenge there are 11 cages and 3300 progress. The moment you kill Kranparus timer starts counting. You have 120 seconds to click on all cages.

 

How are you supposed to collect 1500 winter coins for the present? I saw that you could collect 50 from the challanges, but that means there are 1450 left

 

You can collect them killing Kranparus and doing this RE quest http://drakensangonline.wikia.com/wiki/The_Biggest_Present

 

Did not see the time needed for each mini. Says race against the clock... Guess that makes it harder...

 

The first time I didn't saw it too ... then I was wondering why I can't click on all cages ... after trying few times I saw a system message showing briefly and it was saying 120 seconds. There is no timer that you can see ... but it starts counting the moment you kill Kranparus.

 

Also, in the main map, they increased the gap so that you can't bypass any of the turrets using jump. The dwarf may be able to do it with the talent to increase their jet pack range, but the rest of us need to run through. The one good thing is that you can always adjust your knowledge skills and increase your HP before running the gauntlet and then switch it back when you are done.

 

Trakilaki and Wiki people as helpful as ever!
Got a few questions.

1. Is Kranpaus dropping uniques in both normal and hard or just normal?
2. How is the unique droprate?
3. What is this thing about defeating cave guardian for the day? what is the entry fee? how many times can we do it?
4. What are we even getting by defeating them?

 

1. Kranpaus if only available in Hard.
2. Sucky, but not as sucky as normal uniques. I'd put it on par with the moon event unique drops.
3/4. There is a daily boss that you can kill. There is a small map that you enter and wait for the mini boss to spawn. Once dead, you get to open a box. The reward varies but often some sort of small consumable.

 

Thx Baragain
Can I get a map of the piggies?

Also, we can farm in low level areas for the snow ess right?

And the Sugar beet farming, is the lower level -4 or -5 of character?

Also, I couldn't find a place to ask, but how much was Life Keeper nerfed? I mea a comparison. I forgot the original stats.

 

They are in the same location as always ... except for those in the deleted part of the map. I have no info if they are just gone or replaced somewhere to other locations.

Yes.

As usual until the monsters are displayed with green color ... if they are grayed out they are not worthy monsters.

 

any info for the release date?

 

suppose to be 12/7/2015,but wee will see

 

yea I know that but there is a super weird silence....
