'Tis that time of the year, when friends and family gather, gifts are exchanged, and evil snowmen invade the major cities. That's right, the Perfect World Christmas & New Year's event is upon us! Read on for details on the different parts of this epic event, which begins on December 24th...
- Invasion of the Naughty Snowmen -
The Snowman Tamer needs your help! An army of Naughty Snowmen have invaded the major cities of Perfect World. It's up to you to return these cold-hearted monstrosities to whatever depths they hobbled out from. You can find the Snowman Tamer in the following locations: Etherblade - next to the Messenger of the Sages; City of the Lost - next to the Adventure Assistant; City of the Plume - next to the Priest.
Speak with the Snowman Tamer and he'll give you a quest to defeat 40 Snowmen. Every time you complete this quest, you'll receive 2,000 EXP and 400 Spirit. You'll also receive a special Christmas Stocking, which contains a secret present! Remember, you can complete this quest as many times as you want!
Note that you'll need to be level 30 or higher to initiate this quest (there's no level requisite for slaying snowmen, however).
- Christmas Chocolate -
Santa Claus is ready to prepare delicious chocolate treats for you if you bring him the proper ingredients! All of these ingredients can be found by gathering crafting materials:
 |
Edible Pigment can sometimes be found while gathering coal |
 |
Chocolate Syrup can sometimes be found while gathering lumber |
 |

- X'mas Card Hunt -
> X'mas for All (Tier 1)
Beginning at level 20, you can speak to the X'mas Tree in each city and it will bless you with a pack of X'mas cards. Open the pack and you'll receive a random assortment of cards. You can either come back to the X'mas Tree the next day to get a new batch of cards, or you can trade with your friends to collect them all! When you collect cards 1-7, return them to the X'mas Tree to combine the cards. Take the combined X'mas Card Set (1-7) to Santa and he'll reward you with a Small X'mas Box that contains all sorts of goodies! Remember, this quest can be repeated once per day.
> X'mas Wish Cards (Tier 2)
If you're level 55 or higher, the X'mas Tree will give you a quest to visit different NPCs around the world who are holding the X'mas Wish Cards (8-14).
If you take an X'mas Card Set (1-7) plus any one of the X'mas Wish Cards (8-14) from the NPCs around the world to Santa, he'll reward you with a Big X'mas Box that contains all sorts of goodies!
You can also collect all X'mas Wish Cards (8-14) and have the X'mas Tree combine them into an X'mas Wish Card Set. This can be used for the X'mas Blessing quest (Tier 3).
> X'mas Blessing (Tier 3)
If you're level 75 or higher, you can obtain the final set of cards, the X'mas World Cards (15-21). These cards are hidden in various monsters throughout the world. If you take an X'mas Card Set (1-7), an X'mas Wish Card Set (8-14), and any one of the following X'mas World Cards (15-21) to Santa, you can turn them in for special items. Note that all items come with a pack of 8 Monkey King pills OR Fat Bro pills.

Now, if you are diligent enough to gather all 3 sets of cards (1-7), (8-14), and (15-21), you can turn in all 3 completed sets to Santa to receive the ultimate prize: Blessing of Christmas, which grants you permanent +1% Crit rate!
- Santa's Helper -
Last but not least, monsters will randomly drop a special item called the Christmas Card. Take the Christmas Card to Tu Heng in Archosaur (533, 645) or Santa to begin a quest to help deliver presents around the world. In return, you'll receive a Christmas Stocking, which contains a secret present for helping Santa!
Happy Holidays from the Perfect World International team!
