Eager Santa Trainees are stationed in every town across Aden and Elmore to spread the Yuletide cheer with gifts and blessings! Happy holidays!

During this holiday event, monsters will drop an assortment of special holiday items, including ten unique Echo Crystals that play holiday carols, and a variety of Christmas Tree pieces.

Christmas Trees

The Santa Trainees can fashion bright and festive Christmas Trees with the right materials. The monsters roaming Aden and Elmore are rumored to have just what they need, including fir tree branches and ornaments. Gather these pieces from the monsters, and give them to one of the Santa Trainees to create your very own small Christmas Tree!

To make a small Christmas Tree, you will need the following materials:

• 4 Bead Ornaments
• 4 Star Ornaments
• 10 Fir Tree Branches
• 1 Flower Pot

If you give a Santa Trainee 10 small Christmas Trees, he can work his magic to turn them into a spectacular Special Christmas Tree! Those who rest under the branches of a Special Christmas Tree will gain increased health and magic regeneration. Special Christmas Trees can be summoned anywhere, but you will not receive the tree's magical benefits if it is summoned within a peace zone.

Santa’s Hats

The Santa Trainees are members of a small guild in the Dwarven Village led by a mysterious, yet jolly, Dwarf known only as Santa Claus. The apprentices procured a small collection from the guild's special stock of Santa's Hats, and are giving them out in the villages. They won't give out these special hats to just anyone though; you'll have to prove you've got the holiday spirit! Collect 10 small Christmas Trees and any of the Santa Trainees will exchange them for a bright red Santa’s Hat! This hat can be worn until January 29, 2008. Also, players who had a Santa's Hat from last year's winter holiday event received a special head accessory, Santa's Antlers, in their Warehouse.

Holiday Blessings

The Santa Trainees in each of the starting villages also give out holiday blessings. These buffs will help you in your hunt for both monsters and presents!
