EVENT: WINTER FESTIVITIES & SEASONS GREETINGS
Holiday Spirit Buffs
Pick up Holiday Spirit power-ups and you'll enjoy a glowing slowflake above your head and an icon on your buff bar that offers you a chance to defeat a specific boss to receive special gifts! When you defeat that boss, you'll receive a special Holiday loot bonus that includes a Holiday Tree credit item, and Festive Giftboxes that can contain small loot drops or very rare items. The power-up goes away once you receive the Holiday Spirit loot. You can receive guaranteed Holiday Spirit power-ups from the first completed Shared Quests of the Day.
Additionally, the same Festive Giftboxes can drop in all areas of the game, regardless of whether or not you have a Holiday Spirit buff!
Winter Midtown!
Midtown Manhattan Patrol has been transformed by the snowy weather! Check out the new scenery in Midtown and beware the new Ice Golems!
The former mob affix 'Crippling' (which replaced Slow Aura in the last major patch), has been renamed to 'Chilling' to go along with the Winter scenery, and now debuffs the player with an icy visual.
Snowy Midtown debuts a new boss affix, Winter's Grasp, which will be featured on the Winter's Horde golems found there, in addition to being added to the standard boss affix pool.
