Snowflakes drift through the skies, the smell of baked goods fill the air, and the spirit of joy and friendship spreads throughout Terrafrost as Aurestal inches closer. To help prepare for the upcoming festivities, we've decided to kick off the season with some new-and-improved Aurestal Pet artwork!



The Aurestal Dabu, Aurestal Wulfer, Aurestal Ridix, Aurestal Ori, Aurestal Traptur and Aurestal Zabeu all have a brand new look this holiday season. If their new designs appeal to you, you'll want to get your hands on an Aurestal Snow Jar! Just like every year, you can purchase one at the Snow Jar Igloo. Or if you're not in the mood to wait, you can also pick one up at the I.C.E Shop for just 1,000 IC (900 for Gold Users). Aurestal Snow Jars are only available in these locations until the end of the month -- go on, why are you still here?

If you are having trouble seeing the new artwork, try doing a hard refresh using Ctrl+F5 on Windows or Cmd+Shift+R on Mac..

Good morning everyone! As some of you might have noticed, the Goblin Gift Exchange is live. For more information on how that works, please check out this Reference Guide . We do want to note, we tweaked some things from last year to hopefully better your exchange experience. We are still looking into things that can improve it of course, and if this year still isn't providing the experience we want for the feature, we will continue to tweak until it does. Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor!

Back to work on everything else!!

~Till next time!

From the veiled brambles and branches of the Tangled Wood, the elusive Nocturnes are beginning to spread across the realm. These oft-hidden dragons are again leaving the comfort of their dreary habitats and traversing Sornieth under the cover of darkness. On this, the shortest day of the year, Nocturne dragons rule the skies.

Night of the Nocturne is the annual celebration of one of Flight Rising's Limited breeds. Once a year, Nocturne breed change scrolls become available exclusively during this event! Nocturnes have a 30-day breeding cooldown and eat Meat and Insects.

Event Details

From now until January 2, 06:00 server time, it will be possible to obtain Nocturne Dragons in the following ways:

• Finding rare Unhatched Nocturne Eggs.
• Finding very rare Breed Change: Nocturne scroll items.

The items above will be found in Strange Chests--baffling containers left by the breed during their only two weeks of activity. Nocturnes aren't keen to just shower the realm in gifts, however. Several of these chests have a vicious mind of their own, and some are now known to be under the protection of some new clever and camouflaged foes...

In order to find these chests, participate in daily site activites such as gathering, brewing, hatching, bonding, exalting and more! ...or test your skill and battle Mimic monsters in the Coliseum. Mimics can be encountered in all Coliseum areas, with higher level mimics having a greater chance to drop a chest. New this year, all coliseum enemies will have a low chance of dropping event items, but mimics will have a much better chance than a normal opponent. If you can't battle, don't worry! Baldwin is always seeking new alchemists to help him craft the perfect brew to unlock the secrets of these chests. Swipp is also interested in trading them for materials.

It will also be rarely possible to find Unhatched Nocturne Eggs while scavenging in any elemental region.

After two weeks have passed, Nocturnes, their eggs, and their Strange Chests will become scarce until next year, when they again return.

To help kick off the event, we have granted all players an additional 15 Gathering Turns for today only! We recommend using them right away, because if they aren't, they'll disappear after the next rollover.

Nocturne Lore

Engineered by the Shadowbinder herself to be covert, hidden, and adaptable, Nocturne dragons have the incredible ability mimic the sounds, motions, and behaviors of other dragons and creatures. This interesting adaptation can have its drawbacks, though. Find out more about the Shadowbinder's sneaky sentinels in the lore article below:

What's New This Year?

Another year brings new chances at unique Night of the Nocturne exclusive items! Here are some of the new items you can expect to see as part of the event. As the event has grown over so many years, we slowing new additions; you can still expect to see a modest selection of new content each year, and the return of the hoard of content from previous years!


Strange Chests

In addition to previous years' prizes, the following items now also have a chance to appear within Strange Chests:

Treasure Marketplace

The following items have a chance to stock in the Treasure Marketplace:

Gem Marketplace

The following items have stocked in the Gem Marketplace:

Baldwin's Bubbling Brew

The following new items can now be crafted within Baldwin's cauldron:

Level 3:

Returning Items

While everyone will no doubt be hunting for the new items, you'll also have a chance to get your hands on items from past incarnations of Night of the Nocturne!

Strange Chests

The following items will be making an reappearance within Strange Chests. Most of these items will show up at a lower rate than that of newer items above.

Treasure Marketplace

The following items have a chance to make a reappearance in the Treasure Marketplace:

Dragon Cave: 2021-12-19 - Holiday Event Begins

Holiday Dragon Breeding

Past holiday dragons are breedable from now until December 25 at 23:59 EST. During this time, past holiday dragons will be able to produce eggs of their breed, and have the potential for breeding multiple eggs (though you will only be able to keep one per pairing). This is unchanged from previous years.

The special Holiday biome will again be available during the same time period (ending December 25 at 23:59 EST). In this biome, past holiday eggs will be available. Past limits on cave-based Holiday eggs still apply (the breed limits help page is updated with Holiday dragons during this time to help clarify).

 

New Holiday Dragon

A new holiday dragon will be available starting at 00:00 EST on December 25. It will drop for exactly three days (ending on December 27 at 23:59 EST); after this time it will no longer be available from the cave. There will be a limit of two of these eggs from the cave.

 

Holiday Event

This year's holiday event will begin at 12/25 at 00:00 EST (the same time as the new dragon). The Advent Calendar from last year will make a return, with a new event launching alongside from the same page. The event will run for two weeks. The Advent Calendar will have a daily candy limit like last year, and may feature some new unlockables for decorating events, but you shouldn't miss out if you have to skip a few days.

Wajas: Winter Bash is coming, don't be bashful!

Winter Bash Coming Thursday, December 23rd to a SM Platform near you! These three games are all pre-scheduled for release on Facebook , Instagram , and Twitter . They will last until December 27th at 11:59 PM Eastern / Wajas time. There may be other flash games, depending on if my schedule allows for it, but these games are guaranteed and have awesome prizes including - Doodlecorns, Hoots in sweaters, and some have CWP prizes as well. I will also be trying to get another game or two slid out for on site, but as there've been a few minigames already on site for the holiday season, my biggest worry was getting some out on Social Media. As always, have a safe holiday (or day for those who don't celebrate), and we are so grateful for you all being here! ¢¥ Sadi
