I have been on the Test Server only once to check things out. I have tried several times ever since to access it but there have been problems after the maintenance (test server only) on the 19th of november. Lots of people cannot access it. As such this is likely to delay the testing and fine tuning of the Christmas Event. So, I would not be surprised if it started one or two weeks after the planned start date, which is the 12th of December. There are still a bunch of quests and tidbits I would like to check to give you a clear picture of what the event might bring for us. I will update as soon as get access to this info.
There is a lot to cover: special items at the Merchant Shop, X-mas quests, a new building called the Rarity Provision House, 5 new buffs (to be built in the Rarity Prov House), more Collectibles to be picked up and converted to Presents (the event coin) and the Advent Calendar.
Because there is a lot to cover I will break these tips for the coming Christmas Event into separate posts. I think this way it will be easier for people to search for stuff - and perhaps easier to read also.

CHRISTMAS COLLECTIBLES
So what we will discuss here are the new collectibles showing up around our islands.
There are 3 new types of collectibles to be found:
Candy Cane Christmas Bell Gingerbread
At least on the test server there were plenty of these around to be found each time a new lot of collectibles came about. Then in our Provision Houses we will be able to turn these collectibles into Presents (the Christmas Event coin).
Here's how it works:
25 Candy Cane + 25 Christmas Bell + 25 Gingerbread = 10 Presents
Simple huh? So expect a lot of trading of these new collectibles! Also, bear in mind that these values (taken from the test server) may differ from the actual ones we will be having during the event - just like the Golem damages changed when they became live in Halloween event.
The good thing about these new collectibles is that they are bigger and thus easier to spot than the usual ones. Looking through the map at some distance was enough to spot most of them quite quickly. Also, not sure if there will be a separate collect x-mas collectible quest associated with the showing up of these on our home islands - perhaps they will be bundled with the usual collectibles. We will have to wait and see!
Anyway, this is it for now! Enjoy!
