Happy Holidays from Cryptic Studios and Perfect World Entertainment!
In glorification of winter, from December 19th until January 9th, the citizens of Neverwinter are celebrating the Winter Festival of Simril, the observance of the winter solstice and the longest night of the year. It’s a time of festivity, with a whole new region, new gameplay modes, and a multitude of new companions and mounts for players to get into the spirit of winter. Take a break from the new additions of the Shadowmantle module and join us in the town of Twilight Tor, where players can take part in the Twilight Run, go ice fishing, defeat frigid foes, collect both the Lights of Simril and the Stars of Fortune, and gaze into the sky for a fortune that could change a player’s fate. Citizens of Neverwinter have heard rumors that early January will bring even more bountiful rewards including new items and event features. What surprises could be in store?
The Winter Festival events include:
- The Twilight Run – Take part in slalom races around the Lake Glorfindar on your favorite mounts, on your feet, or the brand new magical Winter Sled mount!
- Monsters on Ice – Fight on an icy lake against frost goblins, ice trolls, and rimefire golems in a contest to defeat the most frigid foes possible!
- Ice Fishing – Go ice fishing across Lake Glorfindar, utilizing rare baits and better rods to pull in the largest fish possible. Rare fish bring in more points in a contest, and more Lights of Simril to be used for various Winter Festival-exclusive items
- Star Gazing – Stare into the winter sky and view the various constellations of Neverwinter and receive a fortune. Lucky players may even receive a special buff!
- Simril Lightcrafting – Collect the Lights of Simril and craft them into various items in a brand new Master of Lights profession!
