????The most festive time of the year has arrived! Have you already started decorating the tree and buying gifts for friends and family? We invite you to go on a winter's adventure in Sphere 3.

Only at this special time of the year will you have access to completely unique opportunities: snow battles, holiday missions and, of course, pleasant gifts from the local Frosty.

First, get to know Frosty. Depending on the faction you play for, you can find him in Cinderkreg (humans) or the Hellsong Tavern (demons).
It is with him that the festive chain of quests that you will have to complete begins.

By completing daily quests and killing monsters of your level, you can get ❄snowflakes. Snowflakes can be combined into snowballs, and snowballs into snowmen. When combining snowmen, the character will receive the "Gift of the Whirlwind" buff, which increases health regeneration, experience gained, as well as the chance of obtaining and gold received from killing monsters by 1% for each stack, up to 40%. The buff exists for all 3 weeks of the event and for another week after.

Also, during the unification of snowmen, there is a chance to receive a chest "Cache of the Whirlwind", which contains special amulets, a box with eternal carnival masks and pets "Frost Star" and "Ice Ifrit". The box of masks and pets are bound to the account, so they can be transferred to your other characters. If you have not received the Cache of the Whirlwind in 24 attempts, you are guaranteed to receive it on the 25th attempt!

All amulets are suitable for the level and class of the character who received the cache, and also contain 6 slots for inlay. From the Cache of the Whirlwind, you randomly receive one of the following amulets.

Rare Amulets:
????Whirling Amulet - When receiving a crowd control effect, reduces damage taken by 20% for 8 sec. Cannot occur more than once every 60 sec.
????Fireworks Amulet - When dealing a critical hit, strikes the target and surrounding enemies within 8 meters with a burst of flame, causing disorientation for 2 sec. NPCs are stunned for 3 sec instead. Cannot occur more than once every 80 sec.

Epic Amulets:
????Lucky Talisman - an amulet for good luck in the new year. Increases the chance of items dropping by 10%.
Wealth Talisman - an amulet for good luck in the new year. Increases the amount of gold received for killing monsters by 15%.
????Whirling Amulet - When receiving a crowd control effect, reduces damage taken by 30% for 12 sec. Triggers no more than once every 40s.
????Fireworks Amulet - when dealing a critical hit, it strikes the target and nearby enemies within 8 meters with a burst of flame, causing disorientation for 3.5s. NPCs are stunned for 5s instead. Triggers no more than once every 50s.

Legendary Amulet
????Amulet of Happiness - increases stamina by 5%, the amount of resources and gold collected, and the chance of items dropping by 15%.
Premium account doubles the chance of getting snowflakes from monsters, and additional snowballs can be obtained in the in-game store.

Each time you combine snowflakes, your faction gets 1 victory point. Once a day, the points are reset and both factions receive a boost, the power of which depends on their place in the competition.

And how can the winter halidays pass without snow games and fun? All this is now available to you! Find snowdrifts and ice floes from which you can get snowballs or icicles that give a slowing effect. You can throw them at each other or at monsters. However, remember that these funny ammunition melt easily, and in the warm hands of your characters they will not last longer than 5 minutes.

And now let's celebrate the holidays in Sphere 3! Winter adventures await their heroes! ????

Happy upcoming holidays!
