The Winter Thaw Event 2016

The Winter Thaw Event 2016​

The Winter Thaw Event - from 14th January, noon, until 26th January, noon, 2016.

​

The Black Market/Trade Market will remain open until the end of the day on 28th January! All times are local server time.

The Ice Ammo will melt on 29th January at 12 noon (LST).

No other ammo will melt – only the Ice Ammo!


In the Trade Market you can craft Ice Ammo using Snow Ammo plus a little bit of gold.

You can’t buy Ice Ammo in the black market, only crafting is possible.

In addition, it is also possible to craft Burning Ice Ammo using Ice Ammo and some pearls – however Burning Ice Ammo will only cause extra damage against Sleipnir.

The Hugin, Jörmungander and Sleipnir NPCs will sail around on ALL PvP maps during the event.

The Sleipnir NPCs are minions from the Jörmungander.

You can use any ammo (gold or pearl) to sink the Hugin! Explosive Ammo will cause more damage against Hugin. In order to sink the Jörmungander and Sleipnir NPCs you can use any pearl ammo – Ice Ammo will cause far greater damage against Jörmungandar whereas Burning Ice Ammo will grant you bonus damage against Sleipnir!

The Hugin will give you some Snowball Ammo. The amount you get will depend on how much damage you cause against it. The player who causes the most damage will also get 1 crystal.

The Jörmungander will give you Pearls depending on how much damage you cause.

The Sleipnir will give you Crystals and Ice Ammo, shared depending on how much damage you cause. The player who causes the most damage has also a small chance to get 1 dragonfire.

Although all of the Ice Ammo will melt on the 29th January at noon, it is still an ammo worth having until then! Against Jörmungandar it will cause extra damage (although the damage caused over time will not be increased). Not only that, but it also freezes your opponents for 10 seconds.

After you have been frozen and start moving again, there is a cooldown of 20 seconds until you can be frozen by any other player again.

Ice Floes will be available during the event on the PvP maps. If you make the last shot against them, you will be rewarded! Rewards include Ice Ammo, Windstorm, Mojos and Skyfires.

Points can be obtained by making the most damage against any of the 3 Event NPCs mentioned above. At the end of the event the rewards will be as follows:

· 1st place: 15x Firestorm Cannons and 1x Libra Bonus Map
· 2nd place: 10x Firestorm Cannons and 1x Aquarius Bonus Map

Don’t forget! Ice Ammo will melt on 29th January!
