☃️ Winter Solstice Festival

General

• Do NOT use the Andermant item stack you'll pick up from the Golden Present, save it up for the next Smugglers' Greed event to to gain event progress there for free. (not working anymore)

Mini Events

• Go into Normal difficulty to save Sugar Beet and switch to higher difficulty at the mini-dungeon entry.
• Use a placeholder character for mini-events to run through them faster.

1. ❄️ Winter Solstice Festival - Kranparus' Terror 1/3
   
2. ❄️ Winter Solstice Festival - Kranparus' Terror 2/3
   
3. ❄️ Winter Solstice Festival - Kranparus' Terror 3/3
   
4. 🧊 Winter Solstice Festival - Frozen Field

Amphora Keys Usage
If you're strong enough, you'll need around 300-400x Amphora Keys with the free 3-hour attire to complete the progress of the main event if you are running on Bloodshed. Amphoras are recommend to be opened cuz they can drop high amount of progress from ~200-700.

🚀 Riot of the Rocketmen

Double Progress & Ingredients :

• For this, do NOT finish the 3rd quest for the attire called "Hostile Acquisition (3/3)". This allows you to double-open the "Pile of Royal Fireworks" in the middle of the event map.
  
• If you are in a group of five, destroy the machines in one of these patterns:
  • 4 → 2 → 3 → 1 → Loot → 3
    
  • 2 → 4 → 2 → 1 → Loot → 2
• If want to run in a different order or in a group of fewer than five players, you can use this trick:
  
  1. Destroy all machines and loot the pile in the middle.
     
  2. Disconnect your internet connection.
     
  3. Wait for the loading screen and reconnect to the internet immediately.
     
  4. Once you load back into the game, you’ll be able to open the pile again.
     

Farming Oil:

• Do not bother farming on a high difficulty unless you are strong enough and want additional loot or materials, as the stack size of drops remains 1 regardless of the mode.
  
• Only the event attire increases the stack size of drops by +1, resulting in a total stack size of 2 per drop.
  
• Use the 3-hour attire from the quest to farm entries efficiently. Farming for an hour with the attire will yield 500+ mixtures (20+ entries).
  
• Important: Finishing the third quest to claim the 3-hour attire will make the double-opening of the "Pile of Royal Fireworks" for double progress & ingredients no longer possible.
