It's here, knights! Winterfest is here!
Have you been naughty, or nice? Nice, right?
No? Naughty? Why would you--
Never mind. Fine. It's fine. It's Winterfest, after all, and Winterfest is for everyone! Here's the rundown:
NEW: Winterfest Danger Rooms in the Clockworks! From these random encounters, you can collect Frozen Winterfest Wishlist tokens. Impostoclaus' trusty assistant, Randolph, is stationed by the Haven fountain and will trade these tokens for Winterfest Present Boxes, in which you may find:
- Candy Striped Onesie
- Festively Striped Onesie
- Holly Striped Onesie
- Joyous Striped Onesie
- Flashy Winter Pullover
- Garish Winter Pullover
- Gaudy Winter Pullover
- Tacky Winter Pullover
- Impostoclaus Outfit
Each Winterfest Present also contains one to three Winter Confetti and Flawed Snowballs.
The Mysterious Alchemy Machine is also producing a weapon called the Peppermint Repeater. Although it sounds tasty, it is for external application only and we do not recommend licking it.
Grinchlin Assault Prestige Mission
Invade the Grinchlin base of operations on Mount Krampus and put an end to their humbug! Face a choice at each shelter - collect loot and leave the mountain, or leave the treasure and climb further toward the summit! Collect special materials from Mount Krampus to craft 5* Grinchlin reskinned weapons:
- Deadly Candy Poker
- Nog Blaster
- Jack Froster
- Scalding Hot Cocoa
- Humbug Hazer
Can you make it all the way to the summit? If so, you have a chance to win Golden or Silver Solstice Rings. These 4* trinkets protect against fire and freeze with a +1 health bonus. Leave them as-is, or combine them to craft a 5* Grand Solstice Ring trinket!
And remember, don't eat the Grinchlin Snowballs. Those are for...well, you'll figure it out.
Those Grinchlins just won't quit. As with last year, they aim to ruin Winterfest for everyone, and they're making a pretty strong showing. Impostoclaus wants YOU to assist him by doing the Save Winterfest prestige mission!
If you've been naughty this year, this is a great time to redeem yourself...or just to get red, green, and white Winter Wish tokens. Trade with Randolph in Haven:

It appears as if the Grinchlins stole Winterfest and made off early with the snow ahead of schedule which also caused your tokens to expire and be removed from your inventory. We have looked into it, but unfortunately it's not possible to recover the lost Winterfest tokens. We know some of you didn't have the chance to spend all of your tokens and we sincerely apologize. In an effort to give some of you some additional time, we've decided to give everyone another week of festive fun.
Winterfest restarts today Monday, January 4th and runs for a week. The event will expire on Monday, January 11th at 12:00 PM Pacific. Please be sure to spend all of your tokens before the end of the event.
