Walkthrough

Christmas
Start date	December 1st
End date	January 6th
Reoccuring	Yes
Location	They are both in Legacy:Nivalis: * Eljas at 030-2(87-41) * Balthasar at 030-3(100-50)
Prerequisites	- no level required - Lv. 30 to do the daily quest of this quest - Lv. 70 to start the hard mode

(Though it is not a prerequisite, for best results complete Snowman's Quest and Santa's Stolen Presents quest before or during this one.)

This quest is long and consists of many stages which differ depending on the path you take.

However, each path (Nice and Naughty) will have a fight in the chamber room.
There are two level of difficulties for the chamber room batle: easy and hard.
easy must be completed at least once in order to complete the quest.
hard Is optional, but very recommendable as it will affect positively the rewards of the quest.

To start, head southwest from the Soul Menhir in Nivalis. There is a house where the door is flanked by candy canes. This is the Christmas Inn. Enter.

Level up mechanics

This quest also has a special level up mechanic, where you may get a free level-up according to how you performed. High level players always look forward to this event due to that. The mechanics for this are a bit complex.

You have a general score based on quest completions (karma, Xmas battle hard mode is , delivering all Xmas lists is 10 points, helping all helpers is 10 points). This score will be substracted a number between 0 and 5. Then a random number will be picked between [score, score + luck/5], if this number is bigger or equal to 80, you will get a guaranteed level up.

How to guarantee the level up(even substracting 5 points, you will have a higher number than 80):

• Get you karma up to 30 (0 to 30 points, depending on your karma). Choosing the Nice or Naughty path will affect how it is increased.
• Successfully complete the Xmas battle on hard mode (30 points)
• Deliver ALL the Xmas lists from ALL children (20 points)
• Help ALL the Xmas helpers (20 points)

How to help ALL the Xmas helpers(20 points):

• Help Osmo (or mislead him in the evil path)
• Help Veneri (or mislead him in the evil path)
• Roast Some acorns with Verneri
• Help the Santa Helper in Santa's Stolen Presents
• Agree to help Ismo with Candy(do not have to give him anything)

How to increase karma:

• Help the Santa Helper in Santa's Stolen Presents(-2 on Naughty/+2 on Nice)
• Roasting acorns with Verneri(-2 on Naughty/+2 on Nice)
• Returning Present boxes: Green,Blue or Purple (-2 on Naughty/+2 on Nice)
• Returning Present boxes: White or Yellow (-4 on Naughty/+4 on Nice)
• Giving Candies to Ismo(-2 on Naughty/+2 on Nice)
• Giving Red Apples to Ismo(+2 on Naughty/-2 on Nice)
• Help Osmo with Fur (-2 on Naughty/+2 on Nice)
• Mislead Osmo with Cloth (+2 on Naughty/-2 on Nice)

• Mislead Veneri with 5 Red Powders and 5 Yellow Powders (+2 on Naughty/-2 on Nice)
• Help Eljas delivering the children's lists (-2 on Naughty/+2 on Nice)
• Mislead Eljas delivering the fake children's lists (+2 on Naughty/-2 on Nice)
• Winning the Xmas battle on hard mode(+2 regardless of your side)

Helping the Christmas Spirit

• Christmas Helpers are busy trying to make sure every child will have an enjoyable Christmas. Take note of Avalia; she is the "leader" and will play an important part in the Nice Path.
  

• If you help them you are on the Nice Path and won't be able to change.
  

• Be sure to click through all of the dialog at each NPC.
  

Nice Path walkthrough

1.

• Start the quest by talking with Eljas at the Christmas Inn. Ask him if he needs any help and he'll tell you that they have lost the wishlists of the children. It is your task to locate the children, collect their wishlists and return the lists to Eljas. (The wishlists will not appear in your inventory.)
  
• All the children apart from two are located in Candor and take part in Ayasha's Hide-and-Seek.
  
• You'll find the last two in Hurnscald and Tulimshar (Rossy and Kadiya).
  
• Children are as follows:
  

- Kadiya (Tulimshar; head south when you leave the ferry, first house after the warp)

- Charda (Candor)

- Latif (Candor)

- Faris (Candor)

- Ghada (Candor)

- Rasin (Candor)

- Ayasha (Candor)

- Rossy (Hurnscald; head south from Soul Menhir - take a left at the end of the path. Follow the path until you get to Dimond's Cove, from the head south and left past Gwendolyn. Cross the bridge and follow the path south - you should see Rossy surrounded by some trees.)

• After talking to all the children, return to Eljas. This is the crucial part: To choose the Nice Path, give original lists; to choose the Naughty Path, give fake lists.

2.

• Talk again to Eljas who will direct you to Chief Warrick. Talk to him and he will in turn direct you to Avalia. Talk to her then return to Chief Warrick once again.
  

3.

• Now, you must give a hand to all the helpers:
  

- Urmas - Give him 2 Raw Logs to make an Open Present Box.

- Livo - Just talk to him.

- Reino - Give him 2 Reed Bundles, 1 Bottle of Water, and either 2 Piles of Ash or 2 Dyes of Yellow, Green, Light Blue, or Purple to make Wrapping Paper.

- Rikhard - Just talk to him.

- Osmo - Give him 10 White Furs.

- Oswal - Just talk to him.

- Veneri - Give him 5 Ruby Powders and 5 Topaz Powders.

- Taito - Just talk to him.

- Askeli - Just talk to him.

- Mo, Lorrie and Curlee - Give one of them an Open Present Box and Wrapping Paper to wrap a colored Present Box. You only need to give the items to one of them, but talk to all of them.

- Jonathan - He takes Present Boxes in multiples of five. Give him at least 15 Purple Present Boxes or 5 Yellow Present Boxes. It's easiest to collect Purple Present Boxes from Rudolph Slime. For best results, give 20 or more of them.

- Verneri - Give him 10 Acorns and 1 Iron Potion to make Roasted Acorns.

- Aaron - Just talk to him.

- Vellamo - Just talk to him, then go to Ismo.

- Ismo - He takes Candies, and this is like a Daily Quest. For best results, give him as many Candies as you can, and do so until you complete the event.

Notes: You need to be level 30 to do Ismo's Daily Quest. If you are lower than level 30 you can skip this part, however you will not get the best reward.
Hint: Be sure to talk to all helpers in the Christmas Inn and the Snow Field, even if they don't need items from you. To be extra sure, talk to them again.

4.

• Talk to Warrick again.
  

• Go to Avalia, give her the required items for the Mana Battery.
  

• Follow her instructions - go the chamber room and start the fight - you will need help.
  

Notes: Ask for help from other players who have either completed the quest or are at the same stage as you. If they haven't completed or reached this stage they will not be allowed to enter the room.

5.

• The fight will start in easy mode.

• The end of the fight will be indicated when the message, "Wow, what happened here?" is displayed (either in General or debug tab).

6. (optional)

• The hard mode is a subquest which means it is not required but is recommended to do for the best rewards. To start the hard mode you must be level 70 and have 15 Iron Potions. The hard mode is obviously harder; in addition to monsters from the easy mode, Ice Skulls will also spawn. They are hard to hit and can do a lot of damage so it is recommended to have a mage and tank present.
  

• Hard mode is repeatable, and it is recommended that you participate in as many as you can to increase your likelihood of getting the best reward. But if you have done all the prior steps correctly and completely, it is possible to get a level up with just one hard mode win.
  

• Do not return to Avalia after a lost fight, regardless of how many wins you may have already gotten. Wait until after you win again.
  

• You don't have to be level 70 to participate in the fight; just level 70 to start.
  

• Paths don't really matter in the chamber; i.e. you can fight in the Evil Path fight while you're on the Nice Path but there is a "hidden" mechanic that you might want to be aware of present though not active (more info in notes).
  

Notes: Referring to the mechanic mentioned before - it is called "Karma" and it is affected depending on what fights you complete: i.e. completing the Nice Path fight you gain Karma while completing the Evil Path fight you lose Karma. Now this has no KNOWN effect at the present moment but it maybe worth knowing.

Total Items for the Nice Path:

• Helpers:

5 Ruby Powders, 5 Topaz Powders, 10 White Furs, 2 Reed Bundles, 2x (Piles of Ash or Yellow, Green, Light Blue, or Purple Dyes), 2 Raw Logs, 10 Acorns, 1 Iron Potion, 1 Bottle of Water, Candies, and 20 or more Purple Present Boxes.

• Mana Battery:

1 Shock Sweet, 4 Empty Bottles and 10 Emerald Powders (plus 15 extra Iron Potions for each Hard Mode fight).

Helping Evil

It's time for revenge, not for happiness!

Directions

Head south from the Christmas Inn until you enter the Snow Field. Head south east and just before the warp to the Snow Path there will be a little mountain, enter from the north side. When in the Snow Cave take the right then left fork and you should enter the Frozen Lake. Head towards the North East to find Balthasar. He will give you the fake list and also show you the secret entrance into the Christmas Inn, which is on the west side of the Frozen Lake. By hitting the Small Crack with an empty fist (wear gloves to avoid damage) you will open up the secret entrance.

Now it is time to "help" the helpers.

The poor Helpers are:

- Vellamo will open the daily quest part if you talk to him.

- Ismo: Daily quest - minimum 3 red apples (naughty path).

- Verneri: don't help him

- Urmas: don't help him

- Reino: don't help him

- Jonathan: dont help him

- Mo, Lorrie and Curlee: don't help them

- Osmo: 10 Cotton Cloths (naughty path)

- Veneri: 5 Red Powders and 5 Yellow Powders (naughty path)

Naughty Path walkthrough

1.

• Talk to Balthasar first. (consult directions) He will send you to collect the good wishlists for him. (The wishlists will not appear in your inventory.)
  

OR

• Talk to Eljas first (both ways you must collect the good wishlists first, and then hand in the fake lists).
  

• The good wishlists are from all the children from Ayasha's Hide-and-Seek + the sick girl in Tulimshar + Rossy from Legacy:Rossy Quest.
  

• Their names: Kadiya, Charda, Latif, Faris, Ghada, Rasin, Ayasha, Rossy.
  

• For locations read Nice Path.
  

Notes: If you have given the fake lists to Eljas without talking to Balthasar - you must go to Balthasar as you won't be able to enter the Inn any longer.

2.

• Be sure to talk to every child, then go back to the cave and talk to Balthasar with the good wishlists.
  

• Go to Eljas and give him the fake lists, and go back to inform Balthasar that you have succeeded.
  

3.

• Now you have to make things worse for the Santa's helpers:
  

• To get in the Santa Inn, head to northwest corner where you will find a small crack. Unequip your weapon and shield (equip gloves to avoid damage) and then choose "Hit it with my strong fist."
  

• Vellamo is required to be spoken to before Ismo.
  

- Give Ismo Red Apples (recommended to exhaust yourself).

- Give Osmo Cotton Cloths.

- Give Veneri the fake Powders.

- Don't talk to the other helpers.

Important: Ismo functions as a daily quest - so you need to be level 30. Also, to get the best reward make sure this is your first time doing your daily quest today, as it is recommended to exhaust yourself.

- You can skip this part of the quest if your level is less than 30, but you will not get the best reward.

4.

• Go back to Balthasar, tell him that "it's a mess".
  

• He will then ask for the items for the Manabattery
  

• Go to the Chamber room to fight.
  

Hints: Ask for help from other players who have already completed the quest.

- If they haven't reached this stage in the quest they will not be able to enter the chamber.

5.

• You will start the fight in easy mode.
  

At the end of the fight you will receive the message:

'"Wow, what happened here?"' (see in general or debug tab)

Notes:

- Level 70 is required to start the hard mode or to reload the fight, but if you are less than level 70 you can still participate.

- Hard mode is when Ice Skulls spawn - don't panic.

- When you finish the fight in hard mode after the easy mode you will not receive a message. However, if someone else has started the hard mode (regardless of whether it is your path or not) and you are in the room, and if you have not done the easy mode and you survive, you will receive the message you get when completing the easy mode.

6.

The quest is now finished, go back to Balthasar to receive your first reward.

Costs for the Naughty Path:

- Helpers: 10 Cotton Cloths, 3 Red Apples (minimum), 5 Red Dyes, 5 Yellow Dyes, 10 Pile of Ash.

- Mana Battery: 1 Dark Crystal, 4 Iron Potions and 10 Emerald Powders.

Chamber Room

Some explanation about this part of the quest are needed.
Even if you don't want to do the quest but only give a hand to the fighters, you will need to do the quest in a path or another to enter in the chamber room.

After creating Mana Battery go to warehouse and talk to AniManOMat to try to install it, but before that you may want to gather a group first.
This is the place where you must defeat Nutcrackers, Copper Slimes and other monsters depending on path and difficulty choosen by quest starter. For details about monsters spawned see table bellow.

Name	Path	Difficulty
Ice Skull	All	Hard
Nutcracker	All	All
Candied Slime	Nice	All
Angry Sea Slime	Nice	Easy
Wicked Mushroom	Naughty	All
Bluepar	Naughty	Easy
Copper Slime	All	All

Easy mode

There are ten rounds, each lasting for no more then 2 minutes so hurry up. If you don't clear area in 6 min on the last round large amount of Nutcrackers will spawn that are meant to clear players from that area.
You cannot reload the fight in easy mode.
Try to do the hard mode if you have a team, the level and the items.

When you finish chamber room in easy mode you can talk to Avalia/Balthasar to get experience, but not a level up. You are now ready to take presents under one of the Christmas tree located in every city.

Hard mode

The hard mode is a subquest. So to get the rewards no need to do it.
To get more rewards, its better to do it.

After you finish on easy mode you will find out that AniManOMat is empty again, so you can now restart the quest in hard mode with "Wait let me check if I can fix this...". For that you will need, the level 70 and 15 Iron Potions on Nice path or 10 Dark Crystals on Naughty path (this part is repeatable).

There are ten rounds, each lasting for no more then 2 minutes so hurry up. If you don't clear area in 6 min on the last round large amount of Nutcrackers will spawn that are meant to clear players from that area.

Note : Get three rewards is what hard mode afford. It is not based on the path you have chosen. But hard mode allows you to fight on your own path.

When you finish chamber room in hard mode, and if you don't still talked to Avalia/Balthasar, go to get experience or lucky level up. You are now ready to take presents under one of the Christmas tree located in every city.

Rewards

There are two pack of rewards, find below more explanations about.

First Rewards Pack

• Avalia : if you have done the nice path, go to see her after you succeed in your fight, she will say : "Thank you for your help, receive this as token of my gratitude".
• Balthasar : if you have done the naughty path, go to see him after you succeed in your fight, he will say : "Revenge is a dish best served cold".

To receive experience points talk to Avalia/Balthasar after you win the easy mode, or after you win the hard mode. Of course if you have done the maximum of nice or evil actions during the quest, depending on the path that you have chosen, you will receive experience based about what you have done or not in your path : Nice or Naughty.
