Limited Time Cosmetics Direct Link

Looking to channel your inner Santa and need the perfect hat to complete the look? We've got just the thing! Prefer to go for more of a reindeer vibe? We’ve got you covered there too — minus any judgment you may or may not deserve. Visit the store to get yourself some festive cosmetics.

The Wonderland Direct Link

The Wonderland serves as the heart of this event, full of the festive spirit. Take part in activities in and around the area to collect snowflakes, which can be traded with vendors for exclusive heads and cosmetics!

Frosty Activitiy List Direct Link

• Christmas Tree Builder: The new activity added this year is the Christmas Tree Buidling game! Once entering the grand room of the tree, you will find different coloured ornaments that you can snowball onto the tree and decorate it just as you like. If you plan on bringing friends, be carefull, only one can hold an ornament. They are quite fragile!
• Ice Skating: Spot the Ice Champion on the pier and challenge her to a race... an ice skating race! Dash on the tracks and avoid the obstacles to reach the end and become the new champion. This year, a new third track has been added for you to conquer!
• A List in the Breeze: A frantic elf named Honeybrittle seems to have misplaced something important, and they’re in a panic. Can you help them figure out what’s gone missing? Seek them out in the village and lend a hand — it might just save their holiday spirit!
• A Very Helpful Hunt: Gao’s party plans have hit a snag — his friends are nowhere to be found! Venture near the Christmas Tree Parkour to find Gao and help him track down his missing guests. Your efforts will bring some much-needed joy to his holiday gathering!
• How Evil Iroh Stole Christmas: Evil Iroh is scheming to ruin the holidays by stealing presents from under everyone’s noses! Head to the castle, track him down, and stop his plan before it’s too late. The fate of Christmas depends on you!
• Castle Dropper: High atop the hill lies a majestic castle with an exciting challenge inside. Take the plunge in this daring dropper and see if you can land safely. You might just live to see the icy glitter of your next fall...
• Icy Cave Dropper: Hop aboard the cable car that winds its way up the snowy mountain. There, in a glistening ice cave, another thrilling dropper challenge awaits. Can you brave the chill and conquer the fall?
• Mr. Grouch: Mr. Grouch has taken over Santa’s workshop, and chaos is unfolding as he destroys the presents meant for all the good children. Journey to the workshop at the mountain’s peak, south of the village, and show him the true meaning of holiday kindness (or maybe just stop him outright).
• Snow Maze: Step into a snowy labyrinth in the heart of the Christmas Village. Twists, turns and dead ends await as you try to navigate your way through this frosty puzzle. Can you find the exit and claim your reward?
• Snowman Ascending: On the lake shore northeast of the village stands a towering snowman, its layers of frosty joy practically begging to be climbed. Scale this icy giant and see what surprises await at the top!
• The Tree Parkour: The largest tree in the Christmas Village isn’t just for admiring — it’s for climbing! Leap from branch to branch as you ascend this festive giant. Reach for the star at the top and show off your parkour skills.
• Snowball Showdown: Gear up for an all-out snowball fight in the cave near the pier, northwest of the village. It’s a free-for-all flurry of frosty fun — dodge, aim, and let the snowballs fly!
• Capture the Flag: Take to the skies in a hot air balloon and head to the Capture the Flag arena. This team-based battle of wits and skill will test your strategy and teamwork as you fight to claim victory!

Multiplayer Activities Direct Link

The popular activities Capture the Flag and the Snowball Free for All are yet again coming to AvatarMC! Is it truly the season of joy without the fun of inflicting traumatic brain injuries with snowballs?

The Capture The Flag minigame is accessible from the hot air balloon near the Christmas Tree. In this activity, players are split into two teams and are tasked with taking the opposing teams flag and taking it back to their own, with only snowballs to defend themselves with. However, watch out as you cannot score a point unless your own flag is yet to be picked up. This activity requires a minimum of 2 players, but more is recommended for maximum enjoyment! You will have 10 minutes to see who can score the most points.

In the free for all, tied to the "Snowball Shutdown" quest, you fight against friends (minimum of 2 players) using only snowballs. You have 10 minutes to climb the leaderboard and show who has the strongest throw. Enter the cave northeast of the village, near the pier, to partake in this activity!

Vendors Direct Link

Some friendly elves are here to sell some Christmas goodies. Or just give you puppy dog eyes until you buy something, your choice. Just remember these poor folks don't have an elf union.

Lastly, the team at AvatarMC would like to wish everyone a happy holiday season. We greatly appreciate our community and can't wait to show you what we have in store for 2024. See you next year!

AvatarMC Soon™ - Issue 126: Halloween at AvatarMC

2024-11-01 00:21:59 +0000 UTC by QuietDove

Autumn is here, the nights are drawing in, and there is a sinister feeling in the air...

Once again we invite you all to join in with the spooks and frights of our Halloween event, if you dare...

To experience our little brand of trick and terror, visit the warp areas in your capital — and remember — don't worry about those shapes in the darkness.

The Corn Maze Direct Link

"They say that if you close your eyes and listen closely, you can hear the chilling sound of children laughing in the corn fields..."

A mother has lost her son. She says that he has run into the corn. Perhaps you could be of help finding him? We wish you the best of luck, because you wouldn't be the first to lose their way inside this maze.

Midnight in Gaipan Direct Link

"Something is afoot in the usually sleepy village of Gaipan. The Festival of Sun Li is normally a time for celebration, for it marks a time when the spirits meet the living.

This time, something has gone horribly wrong. The benevolent spirits are no where to be seen. In fact, no one is to be seen, the town is nearly deserted. Let us pray that you don't meet the same fate..."

The dead have risen from the earth. Put them back where they belong, before you join them. They say that familiar faces have been spotted amongst the walking dead. Just who could they mean by that?

Candy, meant to be enjoyed by those at the festival, has been dropped all over the village. Gather as much of it as you can — you never know what rewards await you.

Sweet Tooth Dungeon Direct Link

"Candy, dropping from the ceiling!"

Take the fast way down the pit. Just be sure to survive the landing, and enter the maze.

"Candy, in a dungeon?.."

This maze has been created just to torture you, full of treasures, tricks and traps.

Don't give up when investigating the catacombs. Find the extra lotus tiles and be rewarded if you make it to the exit of the maze.

Ghost Island Direct Link

A seasonal quest returns this year.

When Watt's nephew goes missing on a deserted island, he enlists the player's help to find him. Tread carefully; unspeakable horrors happened here, and the spirits are restless. One more thing: try not to stare into the dark too long. The dark might stare back, and you'll find out what kind of thing goes bump in the night.

The Village Ghosts Direct Link

This haunting quest is back for your enjoyment.

A simple delivery job looks easy enough, but not everything is as it seems...

Across The Bridge Direct Link

An unseasonably large pumpkin has grown across the bridge of Gaipan. No doubt that dark and evil forces are at work. Investigate this massive gourd and discover its secrets.

Inside you will find Bwake's Maze of Horrors. Watch your sanity as you try to reach the end — ten candies await you if you do!

There's more to see in this area. The Great Pumpkin Hunt is exactly what it says on the tin. Seek out the hidden pumpkins, and gain a reward.

There are two achievements for completing the tasks in this area: Bwake's Maze of Horrors and The Great Pumpkin Hunt. Both offer 5 candy upon completion.

Cosmetics Direct Link

After gathering enough candy in the event — and stopping the mayor dead in their tracks — you will be able to spend your precious candy on some suitably spooky cosmetics.
