A dragon stirs when the cold winds blow. Syrillax is back for another year, but her brood continues to grow, and with it, the threat to Frozen Hope. The residents of Frozen Hope have opened their gates to all Arlorian heroes willing to take up arms against the dragons.
The Winter Event runs for 3 weeks from 12/12 to 1/2, with a 3 day cooldown.
This is an Energy Event. Energy Essence drops everywhere in the realm but the chances to loot are higher when fighting monsters at (or above) your level, and lower when fighting monsters below your level.
What's New?
- Brood Dragon will be available at all times!
- New Jewels!
- New Winterforged Item Set!
- Jewel and Awakening boss loot!
Notable differences week-by-week include:
+A new and different Level 86 Arcane Blood Star accessory is available each week in event crates. Open crates during all 3 weeks to collect all 3.
+Brood Dragon drops different loot per week.
+Different weekly Leaderboard rewards to collect.
+Different weekly Tier Rewards.
Blood Star Set Details:
Collecting the 3 Blood Star accessories throughout the Winter Event will contribute to the 3 and 6-piece Blood Star set bonuses.

Winterforged Set Details:
There are 8 pieces to the Winterforged set, available to craft during the Winter Event. Crafting each piece will require a piece of the Snowstorm Set. The Winterforged Set is an upgraded version of the Snowstorm Set with improved stats! Each piece of the Winterforged Set (minus the weapons) has a 5% chance to add the Hailstone Gem Freeze to an enemy on damage! Having all 8 pieces will grant the following bonuses...
Winter's Embrace: 8 items equipped: The Winter's Embrace provides +35% Primary Stat, +35% Speed (Stacking), +30% Health, +30% Mana, +30% Armor, +30% Damage (stacking), +20% Haste, +20% Critical Hit Damage. Winter's Embrace has an additional 10% chance of damage to add the Hailstone Gem Freeze to the target!
An 8/8 set will also unlock the "Fatal Frostbite" proc on Winterstorm weapons when the full 8/8 set is active! Charged attacks will afflict an enemy with Frostbite (if the proc is not on cooldown). Afflicted enemies take significant bonus damage from subsequent attacks. Increased bonus damage from charge attacks!
Note: Take advantage of the Hailstone Gem Freeze to a target by stacking the NEW Frostfire Gem with the Winterforged Set!

Event Zone: The Brooding Grounds
