MERRY CHRISTMAS, from Ardent!
A new feature comes with this years Christmas update that I am actually somewhat excited about.
A new collection quest based on picking up song sheets won from various activities can be assembled into collections and redeemed for wearable items. The main difference this year is that instead of assembling pieces to complete specific, matched outfits, you can earn items piece by piece to mix and match in the manner you see fit.
All items earned this way can be activated for use in the gnog station, and shared by all characters on that account that are on the same server. I have not actually had the time to earn any of these items yet, but am looking forward to having a few in hand by this weekend.
Aside from that one rather welcome addition, the remainder of the event zone features the same activities and rewards from last years event.
Below is the event zone announcement from a staff post on The Ardent Monthly Ledger.

The Christmas Patch Is Live!
Break out your swords and candy canes, maces and mistletoe, bows and bells, and staffs and stockings because the Christmas patch has arrived! Grinchta, that mean spirited green thug you all love to hate, is currently skulking atop his snowy peak waiting for brave adventurers with whom he and his nefarious elves can cross deadly swords with.
Grinchta’s Lair, with its festively lit trees and gently falling snowflakes, is a winter wonderland where all manner of delightful surprises—and an array of deadly foes—await. Like what? Rewards, gifts, and goodies for players of any level! Crafting quests, dailies, and much more!
And this year, in addition to a variety of increased battle challenges, we thought we’d explore something new with regards to attire. Think of it as the ‘Mix and Match’ plan! Instead of releasing entire outfits with specific accompanying accessories, our team of artists have done the reverse and created a series of unique holiday themed items which will enable players to accessorize themselves however they see fit. And just wait till you see what our artists have cooked up! You’ll not be disappointed!
Everyone, grab your friends, new and old, and explore the fun which waits all in Grinchta’s Lair!
The event zone was installed as part of a larger build that included bug fixes, improvements and some new content for the Ethos Island zones. You can read the full patch notes in the News Section of this board.
