Merry Christmas 2024

[Winter]

Merry Christmas, fellow Swadians!

This year, we are bumping up the 1.5x XP to 2x XP! Unfortunately, the Christmas servers will not be making a return this year.

In addition to the usual Christmas Hats and Snowballs, there will also be one secret gift per game mode (Cavalry, Normal, Hard, Ragnarok) as well as one extra-special gift hidden on one of the game modes (PM me for the second piece of this gift). Be careful not to explode them away! Can you collect them all?

Hints for Gift Locations

Cavalry - Galloping in, they bring lute from afar!
Normal - They have traded in their old fiendish drop for something nice to bundle up in.
Hard - Under the tutelage of the King himself, these warriors need all the practice they can get!
Ragnarok - They bring gifts from Valhalla! If you die well, they may bring you back with them.
Super Secret - Sometimes dating is hard, but you never know where you may find the love of your life.

These changes will last until January 6th, at which point XP will return to 1x from the original game (e.g. Einherjar Ranger = 92 XP) and the Christmas gifts will no longer drop.

Rest assured, Santa's elves are busy working on new toys for you to play with next year.

Edit: Snowballs can now be sold for 7k gold on the Marketplace.

This man is Santa Claus in flesh.

Now I understand why we got so much XP, that's good

[Ufe]

Nice! thank you.

Does this mean we'll go back to the baseline XP from the original game (e.g. 92 XP from an Einherjar Ranger)? Or did you mean the 1.5 multiplier that we've had since something like 2019?

P.S. Thanks a lot and merry Christmas everyone!

This will be back to the baseline XP from the original game. Thank you for giving me an opportunity to clarify. I will edit the original post to specify this.
