❄️☃️ Winter Event 12/02 - 01/02 ☃️❄️
Links
Summary
For those that have been around, the play is the same as last year’s Event including the Advent Calendar which will require Calendar Keys for the exact day of the Event ---- except this year’s Event has the ability to switch the Daily Special to an alternate if desired.
In this Event, you will be unwrapping Presents to find what glorious rewards await inside! This is done by collecting Stars, the Event currency, that will reveal a small reward as well give the Event premium currency – Matchbooks and Calendar Keys. Using the Matchbooks, you will light up candles in the Village and you will fetch a Grand Prize for every 20 Houses illuminated. Extra Prizes are provided by the Calendar Keys and Reindeer; however, the Reindeer prizes will cost you some hefty Diamonds.
The Grand Prize is the Winter Canal which at Level 10 can be converted to a Festive or Jolie Canal providing additional FP along with Att-Att/Att-Def or Def-Att/Def-Def boosts.
Event Play
You will acquire winter Stars (#1) by completing the Event Questline, logging into your world, discover them in city Incidents, or when opening Presents in the Event mini-game.
In addition to keeping count of your Winter Stars (#1), the Winter Village main playing area consists of Presents (#2) that you will unwrap for a chance at a Daily Special (#3). Unwrapping Presents will also provide a Matchbook (#4) that is used to light Candles that will illuminate Houses (#5). A Grand Prize (#6) will be awarded when 20 Houses have been illumed. If you discover a Calendar Key among the Presents, you want use it on the Calendar (#7) for even more prizes.
Prize Systems
Opening Presents will always provide a Prize whether it’s a regular prize, Daily Special or a Special award (with Stars). Depending on the type of Prize, additional Prizes may be obtained.
- Daily Special will be random for each day of the Event.
- A Reindeer will be awarded for every Daily Special found. To look at your collected Reindeer, select the reindeer and sled located next to your Friends Tavern. More items may be purchased from the Reindeer for a small fee of 2,995 diamonds.
- Opening a present will provide a Matchbook. When a Matchbook is opened, it will have 1 to 3 Matchsticks used to light Candles in the Houses. When 20 Houses are lit, you will receive a Grand Prize.
- A Special award from a Present could be:
“Show” - which will reveal two (2) random Presents.
“Double Payout” that will double the reward for next opened Present.
“Shuffle All” will reset all the Presents after you select “Start” again.
“Calendar Kit” will provide an Advent Key for the first one found each day and then will award a Lock Pick thereafter.
- Each day, you have the chance to discover a Calendar Kit that will reveal Calendar Key for that days’ Advent Box. Once you have that days’ Calendar Key, the Calendar Kit will provide 2 Lock Picks. Gather 10 Lock Picks and you will be able to open a previous days’ Advent Box. You can also gather 2 Lock Picks each day by completing the Daily Challenge. Successfully opening all 32 Advent Boxes will be awarded with 2 Winter Canal Selection Kits, a Parlor Car, 200 FP, Winter Express Waiter portrait and 100 current-Age Goods.
Prizes
If a Present is not the Daily Special or a Special award, it will be filled with the usual regular prizes consisting of Blueprints, Military Units, Decorations, Potions, Buildings, SoK/WW fragments and a small amount of FP, Goods and Medals.
*** Event Main Building (Grand Prize) ***
- Winter Canal: A 6 x 4 building that provides for a various amount of Population, Happiness, Coin, Goods, Supplies, Medals, FP and Combat Boosts tiered to the buildings Level and Age. It is upgradeable to Level 10 and a Canal type (Festive or Jolie) will need to be selected when applying the last upgrade that will add unique features to the building (including Att-Att/Att-Def or Def-Att/Def-Def boosts).
*** Other Notable Buildings (from Daily Special) ***
- Parlor Car: Introduced with this Event, a 2 x 3 building that can be chained to a Winter Train and provides a 5% Att-Def boost.
- Winter Bakery: A 3 x 5 building that provides for a various amount of Population, Happiness, Coin, Goods and FP. It is unique in two ways: (1) The last and final upgrade (Level 6) one of four options (Lussebullar, Marzipan, Gingerbread, Macaron) will need to be selected that will add additional features and (2) it also has a set bonus that goes up to two connected Winter Bakeries. Caution though; (1) they all must fully upgraded for set bonus to apply, (2) they all must be a different type, and, (3) the only the middle building will get the second boost if placed in a row (like chain), so you must cluster (e.g., offset them in an overlapping triangular fashion) for all buildings to get the second boost.
- Winter Train: Last year’s Grand Prize, a 7x3 building that has a variety of features with a type-selection option at Level 9. It also has a chain bonus depending on the type of Cars that are connected to it (Goods, FP, Att-Att). The Dailies from Beta look to provide separate Winter Train and Winter Train Cars Selection Kits.
- Winter Spire: A 4x4 residential building that provides increasing Population, Happiness, Coin, Supplies, Goods, FP and a Def-Def boost depending on Level (max Level 12).
- Sleigh Builder: A 2x3 building that has 6 different production options and notably used as a previous-Age Goods building given its production output and small footprint as well as used for Daily Challenges and Event Quests as it has different production options.
Grand Prize Upgrading
The Winter Canal is upgradable to Level 10. You will receive a Level 1 WC upon completing the first 5 Quests and upgrades upon completion of Quests #20 and #70. More upgrades are available from the Grand Prize Rotation List where you will receive an upgrade for every two (2) Grand Prizes (i.e., 40 Houses illuminated). As always, you should have a WC upgrade in the Event Surprise Box if received from the previous Event.

Notes and Tips
- If possible, try to combo any Special awards (Show + Double Payout) together to maximize your rewards.
- If you will be purchasing the Reindeer prizes, it is best to collect all 8 reindeer before committing over 2k Diamonds.
- Although the Advent Calendar boxes appear to be lackluster, you may consider collecting the Lock Picks from the Daily Challenge for the bonus reward of opening all of them. Caution though, it will still probably require Diamonds to complete this area of the Event. Check back often, as the list above will be updated as the Event progresses for correct assignment.
