    You're welcome Frood42, just trying to throw out some helpful looks to what's to come for our peeps

    I have many more still that I have not posted in forums, but to our Guild. However, I would really enjoy taking more SS's and gathering more info in the next day or so, and posting in Forums if you are interested

    Information is key, and I think many of us long term players can all agree we can all benefit from sharing all we can with one another; even if just the basics.
    Let's face it, BB gives us the informations, sure, but it up to us to interpret, and to explain it in a clear concise manner for peeps to play with ease

    Thank you to those who provide accurate information and take the chance to look to the best in Settlers, vs complaining about what is wrong

    Anyway, have a great one all, long day, long month lol grateful as always to talk to so many great people here! *\o/*

    More information about upcoming event: Christmas 2013!


    CHRISTMAS EVENT 2013

    Dear Settlers,

    The cold season of the year is coming closer and close; did you manage to spot the first signs of the upcoming winter?
    All settlers have began preparing for the special Christmas event! The summary of the event is available below.


    The Christmas 2013 event will start after the maintenance on December 12th, 2013.
    The whole event will be turned off on January 9th, 2014.

    Several graphics will be modified to fit the Christmas mood, for example: The logo and the loading screen.


    During the Christmas event, all players will have the possibility to gather a special event resource: Presents.


    Presents (Event resource)
    Presents are displayed in the "Event" tab in warehouses.
    The event resource can be traded. If you have Presents from last year's Christmas event, you can use them during the event this year.
    The game will offer a great variety of possibilities to collect many gifts, including Presents!
    • Christmas Surprise: A new feature that will be added to the game with the start of the event.
    • Adventures: Special adventures that can provide useful rewards.
    • Collections: Special collectible items will start to spawn on home islands - you will be able to transform them into Presents.
    • Daily Quests: Special Christmas Daily Quests will be running during the whole event.
    • Event Quest Chain: Special Christmas Quest Chain will guide you through the event.
    • Explorers: Each standard treasure search will have a chance to bring you some Presents (in addition to a standard search reward).
    • Shop: There will be 2 packages with Presents available in the Shop.



    With the start of the Christmas 2013 event, a special Christmas Surprise interface will be added to the game. It will allow all players to receive many useful gifts, including buildings!

    After the Christmas 2013 event activation (maintenance), each day you will be able to open one of 24 windows in the Christmas Surprise interface.

    The Christmas Surprise interface will feature 3 different types of windows:



    Type: Regular window
    Description: A regular window that can be opened on most event days.
    Rewards: Opening a regular window provides rewards that are chosen randomly.




    Type: Special window
    Description: A special window that can be opened only if all previous regular windows have been opened.
    Rewards: Player can choose the reward from the list on the right - the choice cannot be changed afterwards!




    Type: 24th window
    Description: The 24th window can be opened on 24th day of the event only if all previous windows have been opened.
    Rewards: Player can choose the reward from the list on the right - the choice cannot be changed afterwards!



    There is also a very special reward waiting for players who open all surprise windows: a Gold Tower!


    Opening the Christmas Surprise interface is simple! Just click on the star icon floating next to your avatar:




    With the Christmas 2013 event, you will receive a chance to play special adventures. Details can be found below.


    Name: Save the Christmas feast.
    Required level: 26
    Description: The Croaker has stolen all presents. Defeat The Croaker and retrieve the stolen presents.

    The whole time the event lasts, you will be able to find special collectible items on your home island. As usual, after you spot a collectible item you need to click on it to collect and transfer it to your storehouse. After you have collected a certain amount of these event collectibles, they can be converted into Presents (event resource) in your Mayor's house!





    While the event lasts, it will be possible to acquire the buffs shown below.
