The first half of this pretty much functions as a preview for what we're getting today - while the second half is probably something we'll get later on.

A brilliant transformation for a holy night! A huge party's underway in Onigashima!


By speaking to the event NPC "Sanda Kuroko", you can begin a special christmas quest!


By doing the quest, you can get access to a special dungeon, "Christmas Land", which is a bit unique and different from what you usually do! It'll offer you a special experience for you to enjoy.

By clearing the quest, you can get a one of seven types of perfect christmas presents! We urge everyone to stay tuned~

Be careful though, as this dungeon only allows members with four slots to enter... Furthermore, there's a limit to the amount of time you can be allowed inside!

(Insert list of admission times that may not be relevant to EN server)


--- BUT WAIT THATS NOT ALL

There's another boss monster! Last time, they introduced the lightning demon gargoyle, but now we get the ice one!


Just like last time, you talk to the same guy as the lightning gargoyle to challenge the dungeon. Like the lightning gargoyle, the ice gargyole's dungeon consumes energy and disallows equipment change while inside the dungeon.

It also drops materials to create weapons with. These weapons are shiny as fuck, and like their counterparts, have a frosty basic combo animation.



Companions now have a first anniversary thank you quest. You can do these by talking to them. (Probably not relevant to the EN server yet, so I'm going to leave the details out.)

As you can probably see, I kinda went with my interpretation of the Onigiri service team's style for the first half, then did whatever I want later cause I got bored... sorry. If you prefer one of the two styles, let me know, though I'll probably ignore you.


Edit* So turns out it was santa kurosu :C I'm bad at this.

JP onigiri also have a Ice Skill for their swords, right?

'Ice Pillar Break' or something along those lines.

Edit: Xmas event allows you to play as a Daruma!

I didnt see it in the patch notes for our version, but i have gained 6 lvls just by logging in. Seems like they changed the xp needed for each lvl since the total xp i got seems to be the same as yesterday.

A few patches ago in JP, they changed the requirements to reach level 100, so it was easier.

Everything after level 100 is the same though.

Speaking of things not mentioned in patch notes - we just got just guard as well

Where is the NPC located to get the quest? Are there 2 quests (1 lightning, 1 ice)? Or are those not applicable to the EN version yet?
And it seems a little bit of a stretch, but I suppose there's no basic information on these such as level requirement?

It's not out for EN yet.
But whenever it does come out, you just talk to Chifuri to get into the dungeon, I haven't found any quest yet. There's three gargoyles in all: fire, lightning, and ice. Dungeon levels are 70/100/140. Each dungeon mirrors each other as far as mobs and the layout, differences being the boss and cosmetic effects throughout the dungeon.

Oh thanks. I took a break, so I thought I missed out on the first Gargoyle thingy.

So... is this event actually worth me patching Onigiri and playing?

Depends.

I personally find it fun - just to do once.

The christmas dungeon turns you into a daruma, and you have to beat up other monsters. There are two parts about it that do frustrate me though. They let you use potions - but monsters do a percentage of your max health, so people who have a higher health pool relative to their potion amount can't do it as easily as those with lower max heatlh.. (Note that magatama bonuses do NOT apply in this dungeon, so basically its based on your stats)

The other annoying thing is that you move slowly.

But its kinda fun, so whatever.

If anything, I think bigger motivation to play should come from the fact that they're implementing new skills and systems.

Hi,

How do I enter Christmas land?
It always says Dungeon is currently closed.
