HEX UPDATE – Questmas 2016

After a long winter and a bountiful harvest in spring, Entrath’s summer solstice heralds the coming of summer with its warm embrace and long cheerful days. It is the time to relax, frolic and enjoy the rewards of hard work well done.

Ancient rumor has it that that those not celebrating Questmas are doomed to pure unadulterated boredom. Quest, the Primal of fun and namesake of this holiday considers this a fate worse than even death.

Quest is one of the most beloved Primals of Entrath; he is greeted with smiles and merrymaking wherever he roams. A large glowing fox with a ringed tail and a fancy coat of brightly colored fur, he is known to travel the world of Entrath. Shapeshifting from one form to the next, he encourages people’s love of games and play. It is said that Pippits hold him in particularly high esteem and many say he could even be considered their deity.

Questmas takes place on the eve of the Summer Solstice and brings all kinds of folks together; both young and old celebrate the fun and games of the season. Throngs gather in market places, town centers and guild halls. Elaborately thought-out games and playful puzzles are being exchanged while the Entrathians make merry.

It is an honored tradition that if you are given a game, you are obliged to play with the gift giver. But beware! Spoilzport, a grumpy old troll, is not in a festive mood and – true to his name – generally tries to spoil the fun for everyone else during Questmas.

Greetings everyone,

During the time of (even more) fun and games, Quest will reward you with the Impulse AA Sleeve for making merry with your fellow Entrathians. (Simply log in and you will automatically receive the sleeve!)

Those of you following the ancient tradition of playing with or against each other in (more or less) friendly duels will receive the Impulse AA card.

Playing in dungeons across Entrath can reward players with the Entrath Settlers card and its equipment pieces, the Helm of a Good Game and the Robber’s Gloves. As Settlers do, these crafty and skilled folks set out to gather resources and build villages. Manage your settlements during the time of Questmas to bring the advantage of a happy populace to bear. To earn these rewards, champions must defeat any dungeon during the Questmas holiday:

So how do you get your Quest(mas) rewards?

Alternate Art Card: All tournaments will have a participation prize of an AA Impulse card. Basically, enter a tournament, get the card.

Players that win a constructed ranked ladder match will have a 25% chance of earning the AA Impulse card.

PvE Card and Equipment: Players can earn PvE items by playing in the Campaign dungeons. There is one card and two equipment items to earn.
