Current release: “Wintersday”
As the year winds down and a crisp chill fills the air, Divinity's Reach transforms into a snowy wonderland for our favorite holiday tradition: Wintersday! From now until January 2, Tyria welcomes everyone—whether you’re a seasoned hero or just taking your first steps into adventure—for a celebration brimming with joy, laughter, and just the right amount of snowball mischief.
This year’s Wintersday introduces a host of delightful rewards! Wrap your hands in cozy Winter Mittens once you complete the (Annual) Wintersday Traditions meta-achievement. You’ll also be able to add whimsy to your arsenal with the Ginger Shortbread Shortbow, the Wintersday Bash hammer, or the Gingerbread Speargun. For collectors, the new Mini Plush Fox is an irresistible and adorable companion. You and your guildmates can enhance your halls—or even personal homesteads—with new Wintersday-themed decorations.
The highlight of this year’s rewards is the amazingly cute (but deadly) Plush weapon set, earned through the (Annual) Wintersday Traditions and (Weekly) Wintersday Festivities. These weapons bring a cuddly-yet-fierce charm to your battles, making them a must-have for any adventurer!
