ArcheAge Winter Maiden Festival is Running

The celebration of the Winter Maiden has come around again, and the hosts of the festival will be Marianople and Solis Headlands. These areas will be placed under Festival Law, which means that you will be unable to engage in PvP in those zones during the festival.

During the event, visit the Winter Maiden's Messenger in your capital city to begin your path on the festival quests! The events involve hunting a winter ghost, praying for the maiden under Kyprosa's Blessed Tree, and building snowmen in an unlikely place - Mistmerrow.

This year's prizes include special snowman statues that may drop from the Winter's Ghost, the new Grumpytree Ent non-combat pet, and these special prizes available from the Festival Exchanger. Remember: If you can't get the rewards during the event, they will be available later at the permanent Festival Exchange Machine in Mirage Isle!
