The Ephinea Christmas event is a major annual event that occurs during or around the month of December and lasts four weeks.

The Christmas event features the Christmas Fiasco series of quests, and the event-exclusive server-wide drop of Presents. Completing Christmas event quests also award the event-exclusive currency Tool icon.pngCoal, which may be exchanged for more Presents.

Additionally, St Rappies will spawn in the VR Temple instead of Love Rappies, and the Visual Lobby will feature the Christmas theme.

Dates

Boosts

Rotating weekly boosts

During the Christmas event, each of the four rotating weekly boosts are doubled during their respective active week.

Present rate increase

On Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day, the drop rate for Presents is doubled, going from the base rate of 1/2250 up to 1/1125.

During the Christmas event, Tool icon.pngPresents will drop from all enemies at a rate of 1/2250, regardless of quest, difficulty, or episode (with the exception of scared Rappies).

When found, a Present can be "used" from the player's inventory to acquire a random item. The list of items available from these Presents is pre-determined and varies each year, but this list is not revealed to the community. Instead, the community must compile the list of possible items by reporting them in the annual Christmas event thread posted on the forums at the start of the event.

Presents are not affected by any drop rate boosts. Presents will not drop from item boxes.

Note: The Christmas event-exclusive "Present" item should not be confused with other kinds of Presents.

Present types

From the 2017 Christmas event and onward, there are two types of Present (though they appear identical in the player's inventory):

During the Christmas event, Tool icon.pngCoal is an event-exclusive currency that is primarily obtainable from clearing the Christmas-exclusive quests (see below). It can also be obtained (in varying quantities) from Presents (see above). Coal may be exchanged for two different types of Presents in the Quest icon.pngChristmas Event Shop at the following rates:

Present Required Coal
Common 8
Ultimate 40

Associated quests

The main quests featured in the Christmas event are the Christmas Fiasco series. These quests are long, high-enemy-density quests that span the majority of their respective episodes' areas. Upon completion, they award players with Tool icon.pngCoal in varying amounts (detailed below).
