Patch Notes December 19th - Christmas Patch! | Darkfall Unholy Wars
Patch Notes December 19th - Christmas Patch! On the shortest day of the year do the free people’s of Agon celebrate the Birthday of the Unconquered Sun. The clouds may gather, the skies darken ever-quicker, and the frost may chill the bones to the marrow.. yet the sun shall not be conquered and shall shine upon the land again. In honor of the rising sun overcoming the winter darkness the peoples of Agon, for many centuries, have celebrated till the first rays of dawn bring relief to the cold, dark land! Traditionally these festivities take place around the largest tree of the forest to represent the Feast Lord who stalks the darkness with his brownie minions! Under cover of the shortest day of the year they will raid and steal from the wealthiest of the people, and leave gifts for the lowliest of hungry peasants.
Christmas Event!: The Frost FestBringing the new Dynamic Event System to Unholy Wars, we kick it off with our exciting Christmas event! This new system will allow for greater flexibility in generating event hotspots and seasonal adventures!
An Event icon has been added to the UI sidebar and more events will be dynamically added in the future. Players will be able to stay up to date about upcoming events beforehand and ensure to participate on time!
Thieving Brownies will appear in various locations around Agon. Players can hunt them down in order to progress the Event as well as completing the new seasonal Feats. Skinning Thieving Brownies has a small chance to produce a Spark of Generosity which is necessary to thaw open Frozen Gift Boxes!
As Brownies around Agon are slain (don’t worry, they reincarnate) a global progress bar in the Event GUI will fill up. Once full, the Feast Lord appears to avenge the treatment of his minions! Check your map to locate him.
When the Feast Lord falls, frozen gift boxes will appear near his grave, with goodies for those that can thaw them out using Sparks of Generosity (a rare drop off of the special Frost Fest Brownies).
