The Winter’s Thaw Event ​

The Winter’s Thaw Event

​

​

​

How long does the event run for?

The event will run from 7th January at 12 noon (Local Server Time) until 12 noon on 3rd February (Local Server Time)!

When will the Ice Ammo melt?

The Ice Ammo will melt on 4th February at 12 noon (CET). No other ammo will melt – only the Ice Ammo!

What ammo can I craft and how?

In the Ice Chamber (Trader Tab) you can craft Ice Ammo using Snow Ammo plus a little bit of gold. You can also simply buy the Ice Ammo in the Black Market for pearls if you do not have enough Snow Ammo left.

In addition, it is also possible to craft Burning Ice Ammo using Ice Ammo and some pearls – however Burning Ice Ammo will not cause extra % damage against the Event NPCs during the Winter’s Thaw Event since it is meant for PVP.

Please note that the crafting option is part of the Winter’s Thaw Event and is only available until 28th January (LST).

Which Event NPCs will be on the sea during the Winter’s Thaw Event?

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

Which Ammo can I use to sink the Event NPCs?

You can use any ammo (gold or pearl) to sink the Hugin! In order to sink the Jörmungander and Sleipnir NPCs you can use any pearl ammo – Ice Ammo will cause far greater damage against these two NPCs! Ice Ammo will not cause extra damage against the Hugin.

What rewards can I get from the Event NPCs?

The Hugin will give you some Ice Ammo shared depending on how much damage you cause against it. All players shooting Hugin and cause at least 15% of the damage against it will also get 1 crystal. The Sleipnir will also give crystals, shared depending on how much damage you cause.

What is so good about the Ice Ammo?

Although the Ice Ammo will all melt on the 4th February at noon, it is still an ammo worth having until then! Against the Jörmungander and Sleipnir NPCs in the Winter’s Thaw Event it will cause extra damage! Its normal damage is 80 and it also deals damage over time for up to 12 seconds (although the damage caused over time will not be extra against Event NPCs). Not only that but it also freezes your opponents for 10 seconds (although they can still shoot you).

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.

What rewards can I get from the Event ranking?

For every server, at the end of the event, the player in 1st place will win a Libra Bonus Map. In addition, players in 2nd – 5th place will win an Aquarius Bonus Map and five randomly chosen players will win a Taurus bonus map.

Remember – the Ice Ammo can only be crafted until the 28th January!

Don’t forget! Ice Ammo will melt on 4th February!
