Preview - Winter 2022! New Level 81 Arcanes! 3x LB Weeks w Trade-Friendly vans!
When the cold winds blow, dragons stir. 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 12/15 to 1/5, 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?
- Leaderboard vanities are tradable this year.
- Similar to the Halloween Event, the Winter Event will take place over 3 weeks, with new rewards and a leaderboard reset each week! Read on to learn what to expect for each one.
Notable differences week-by-week include:
- A new/different Level 81 Arcane accessory contained in event crates. Open crates during all 3 weeks to collect all 3.
- Different vanity items available in locked crates.
- Different Leaderboard vanities to collect.
- Different Tier Rewards.
- Visit the Winter Gift Tree in the center of Frozen Hope to collect free gifts every day (more below)!
Bane Item: Orb of Ursume
Attachment 251211
The Orb of Ursume is a special item purchasable only for Platinum that will help you along your way through mobs of frozen enemies and increasingly challenging bosses. Having the Orb in your inventory will reduce the critical rate of bosses by 6% and deal up to 50% more damage to monsters and bosses in the Mount Spyr Pass zone!
If you purchased an Orb in past years--you're set! Same orb, same perks.
Bane Item Upgrade
The Orb of Ursume can be upgraded with a recipe that drops from Syrillax. The upgraded version of the orb works in the Brooding Grounds in addition to the original zone.
Elixir: Ice Dragon Tears
Once you reach the Silver event tier, visit King Frost for a special quest. This quest will lead you to unlock the new Ice Dragon Tears elixir at the vendor which will give you a 15% score boost in all event zones!
Attachment 251233
There is also a cracked (crafted) version, which has the same effect but is not tradable.
Attachment 251234
Elixir: Warming Waters
Attachment 251235
Visit King Frost in Frozen Hope for the Rescue the Brewmaster quest, where you'll have to save Esai the Brewmaster from the Frozen Village! Once you do this quest you'll gain access to the "Warming Waters" Elixir from Rodrick the token vendor. This elixir reduces the freezing effects from Mount Spyr monsters.
NEW: Winter Gift Tree
Attachment 251237
Don't forget to visit the Winter Gift Tree in Frozen Hope every day during the event to collect free gifts!
Each daily gift pack will grant you:
+ 50 Pet Experience Kit (bound - open it to give 50 XP to your Summoned pet; doesn't open if the summoned pet is already at your level).
+ 500 Spirit XP (also bound - open to apply 500 Spirit XP to your equipped Spirit weapons).
+ 30 Minute Crafting Timer Speed-up.
But you don't want to miss Christmas Day, where you'll get a special collection of great gifts!

Mount Spyr
Kick off the Winter Event by entering the Mount Spyr Pass portal. Fight bosses and baddies, earn tokens, and loot items and chests.
Most importantly, snag the Weak Flamestones and open chests that drop in the zone to earn Icy Dragon Scales. These will be instrumental in defeating Syrillax's brood later on.
Event Zone: The Brooding Grounds
Attachment 251212
Throughout the Winter Event, Syrillax's brood egg begins to stir and all Arlorian heroes must gather to defeat it before it gets out of control!
The egg resides in the Brooding Grounds, which opens for 1 hour every 3 hours for a chance to crack the egg and make sure what's inside doesn't leave those grounds. While you wait, craft Dragon Flamestones as your ticket to the fight. When you enter the zone, one Dragon Flamestone will be removed from your inventory, the egg will hatch and the fight will commence!
Attachment 251226
Meet... Holleythrax!
