I’d assume it is, there’s nothing mentioned in the blog that it’d be season exclusive.

No informations about that on the French blog.

Wow. Here I was thinking “no one can complain about this.”

I’ve had more than my share of complaints over the years but for this I thank you Blizzard.

No wonder, we were expecting patch notes whit this announcement. I’ll take a step further and say we expected the patch notes MORE than this event.

Early happy holidays everyone! Will be tuning in to listen in on feedback on this thread to share back with the dev team.

Don’t forget to share any bugs/issues you encounter - we will keep an eye out on the Bug Report section of the forums. Wishing you all the BEST RNG to get all the festive loot during this event!

I like it! Looks like Non season can get them (yay!) and it is a great way to fill in transmogs, pets, wings, while getting mats without bounties!

Welp. Guess I know what I’m doing with my next few hundred hours of free time.

EDIT:

Now the question is, how to maximize gifts/hr, RGs or goblins? 60 sec super speed GR90s vs. dash monk goblin farm? The blog post makes it sound like RGs have a higher chance of a gift vs. goblins.

And I guess does the drop chance of wings vary with source of gift, or is it independent? Does every gift regardless of source have the same drop chance for wings?

I can farm 45-60 goblins an hour on my route. Rifts are probably more like 30ish/hr (~60-90s clear, 30s gem + town time), maybe a tad higher. So I should be able to bag more goblins/hr than RGs/hr. But if the RGs have a higher chance of dropping a gift, that might win out in the end.

Will probably end up doing stretches of each just to stay fresh.

EDIT2:

Actually now that I think about it, goblins are probably still better. Because if you do goblin farm, you’ll still have a chance to get the wings the normal way too, a sort of double dip if you will.

Several new items have been mentioned there:

  • Sword of Mediocrity
  • Coal (Glowing Ore)

What is this? Just surprises? :slight_smile:

They are listed under MISC, so I would assume the Sword thingy is either a crafting plan or some special grey/white/blue item. The ore, maybe an ingredient for the craft recipe or it’s a consumable that can only be used on the sword. Who knows.

Something along that… we shall see.
