[img]https://i.imgur.com/zhcijTN.png[/img]   Dear Community,   The time is finally there! Christmas is coming and that means Christmas Events in New Z! This year we have a new Christmas 2019 box together with Double XP, GD events, a free premium weekend and A LOT more! For all details read the thread below!   Before we jump into the event(s) we'd like to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.   Something worth to mention is that the Christmas 2019 event is an event that is applied on top of the Winter 2019 event. So, from this moment two events will be active. When the Christmas 2019 event ends the Winter 2019 event will stay active. For more information about the Winter 2019 event go to: [url=http://forums.fredaikis.com/index.php?/topic/8542-winter-2019/]http://forums.fredaikis.com/index.php?/topic/8542-winter-2019/[/url]     [u]Christmas 2019![/u]     Welcome to the official Christmas 2019 event announcement!   Before we jump into any event details let's make it clear over what period of time this event is taking place:   [u][b]Start: December 20, 12:00 PM (CET) 2019.[/b][/u] [u][b]End: January 6, 12:00 PM (CET) 2020.[/b][/u]   Now, let's jump into the details of the event:   [u][b]Double XP & GD:[/b][/u] [list] [*] During this Christmas event there will be separate Double XP & GD events per game-mode.

This melee is part of the three staffs that are released during the Winter 2019 event and this "Ruby Staff of Power" is the third being released ONLY during the Christmas 2019 event. How to get the staff? That basically works the same way as for the Emerald and Sapphire staff: Find the "Ruby Crystals" and: - For Survival: Craft a 100 Ruby Crystals into 1 Ruby Staff of Power. - For Open World: Trade in a 100 Ruby Crystals for 1 Ruby Staff of Power. (In the Trading Lounge through the repeatable mission) [b]Remember! The Ruby Staff and Crystals are ONLY available during the Christmas 2019 event. [/b] [img]https://i.imgur.com/7NVT97T.png[/img] [/*][/list]   [u][b]Christmas & New Year's Sales:[/b][/u] [list] [*] Throughout the entire event there will be special sales and flash sales. Stay tuned and keep an eye open in our in-game marketplace. Sales will be announced through the official Infestation: The New Z social media channels. [/*][/list]   [u][b]Christmas Secret Spots:[/b][/u] [list] [*] In both Open World and Survival there is special dedicated Christmas themed secret spots in Colorado V2, V1, Caliwood and Oregon. Now, you might have already found one of the spots as we have to patch these in during a patch before the event starts. However you will then have noticed that Christmas loot hasn't spawned there yet. Christmas loot will simply be live on those locations as soon as the Christmas 2019 Event starts. Once again for Survival chances will vary and not be the same as in the Open World game-mode. Note: In this particular event the Christmas 2019 event overlaps with the Winter 2019 event. The secret spots are upgraded to a more Christmas themed - Winter secret spot. Check further under "Loot" to see further details about the loot.
