Gameplay

This event did not have specific gameplay. Its main feature was event exploration, where outfit pieces, companions, and illustration pieces could be found. Illustration fragments could also be bought for 20 each. The locations for illustration fragments were random. The second chance bar enabled players to obtain a random piece of equipment if their companion came back from an exploration without having found anything fifteen times.

The following is a more detailed summary of how the event was structured:

On December 16th, 2016 the main administrator of Eldarya opened a thread announcing the start of the Christmas event From December 16th, 2016 to January 3rd, 2017, players had access to a new exploration map. The map had twenty different locations for Companions to explore.

Companions could find either food, bait, an egg, equipment items, or an illustration piece. If a Companion came back without bringing any clothing items, a bar underneath the map— referred to as the "second chance bar"— would progress one step. The bar would continue to fill each time a Companion came back empty-handed. Once the bar reached fifteen, the player would receive a random equipment item, after which the gauge would revert back to zero. If a companion returned with an outfit piece before the bar filled up, the bar would reset to zero. All players automatically got an equipment item upon their first exploration.

Players could also buy event items from the Clothes Shop. Some outfits could be bought with Maana or Gold Coins, while some could only be bought with GCs. There was one outfit that could only be found by exploring the map and two outfits that could only be obtained through the Clothes Shop. All outfits had different amounts of color variations.

Companions and their baits could be bought from the Companion Shop. The eggs could only be purchased with Gold Coins while the baits could be bought with either Maana or GCs.

Anything bought from either store could not be sold on the market while items found through exploration could be, not including the first equipment piece or any illustration pieces.

On the event page, players could see a blurred out version of the event illustration and any pieces of it that they had found. Pieces could be bought for 20 GCs. When all the illustration pieces were found or paid for, players had to click a button to reconstruct the illustration. Once reformed, the picture was added to that player's illustration collection. There were eight pieces in total that needed to be collected.
