How It Works

[Dan]

The Artisan Festival Event is active from December 1st and runs until each town is completed.

• Town Criers announced which city is currently active.
• The Artisan Festival lasts for 3 days in each city during the event
• While the Artisan Festival is active within a city, players can turn in Bulk Order Deeds to elves at a specially decorated location within each City,
  • Britain – East Britain Park
  • Jhelom – East of The Pearl of Jhelom
  • Minoc – West of The Matewan
  • Moonglow – East of the Scholar’s Goods
  • New Magincia – The Gazebo
  • Skara Brae – South of the Healer of Skara Brae
  • Trinsic – The Park
  • Vesper – East of the Fisherman’s Guild
  • Yew – East of the Yew Healer
• As players turn in Bulk Order Deeds to the Elf, the holiday tree begins to grow and players are entered into the gift raffle held after the 3 days. Players receive several entries based on the worth of the Bulk Order Deed they turn in.
• When giving the elf a completed BOD, the elf will indicate a general level of progress toward the next tree level.
• The greater the value of Bulk Order Deeds that are turned in, the bigger and better the Holiday Tree grows;
  stage 1 stage 2 stage 3 stage 4
  
  stage 5
  until it reaches its maximum size at which time all raffle entrants receive a reward when the festival concludes in each city. Rewards are scaled to a percentage of total participants for each tree size below the maximum tree size.
• Points needed for each stage are currently:
  • 1 to 2 = 250 points
  • 2 to 3 = 625 points
  • 3 to 4 = 1875 points
  • 4 to 5 = 3750 points
• Values were calculated on the ‘banked’ value of the BoD, not the full value. ie 2% of the full value for small orders, and 20% for large orders. Therefore several low-level large BoDs gave more value than higher-level small BoDs
• Players claim their rewards by double-clicking on the large gift bag near the elf.
  
• Players receive a gift box that can be used to unwrap a random reward inside.
• Rewards are vice and virtue themed holiday items including,
  • Paper lanterns.
