About the Event

TLOPO's Winter Festival, unlike it's brother Hollowed Woods, features a single building to serve as the event location. During the extents of this event's time in-game, you will be able to collect new weapons, and trade in your plunders for even better items!

Where to Go

Once a decrepit rat's nest on the outskirts of Tortuga, this luscious manor has transformed quite magically into the winter spirit!

The Materials, err.. Currency of the Winter Festival here in TLOPO are quite marvelous, actually! Found in the Material Pouch in your personal chest (I Key), the currency for the celebrations are quite fitting for that of a celestial body, being Moonstones!

Moonstones can be looted from enemies that are apart of the following factions:
East India Co, Navy, Undead, & Davy Jones' Crew.

Moonstones CANNOT be looted from..:
Sailing or Animal Enemies

Moonstones come in three designated variations that can be found in Loot.
Small Moonstones - Found in Loot Pouches, anywhere between 1 - 20 per pouch.
Large Moonstones - Found in Loot Chests, between 1 - 15 per chest.
Enchanted Moonstones - Found in Loot Skull Chests, between 1 - 5 per skull.

Though the weather outside is frightful, Inside the doors of the Yuletide Manor lives the residents of the Frost family! Our vendor for the sweetest of celebrations is Lil' Old Grandma, Miss Holly Frost!

What the event lacks in celebratory clothing, it has more than made up for in a plethora of frosty weaponry to keep us pirates slick as ice in combat!

(For this section, I will be using the first letter of each type of Moonstone to indicate it's price. If a weapon's price is indicated by Looted, that means that it can be found in Loot from any enemy that is not The Watcher or Dry Rot.)

What's the best way to get Moonstones?
Click to expand...

If you're a lower level pirate, simply just grinding out levels as you go will sport a huge number of small stones, and an alright number of large ones

However, at Level 50, the general consensus seems to be that Drench and Drizzle, plus bringing Palifico down seems to be the most efficient way to get all sorts of stones.
 
Disappointed that the Frostedge Staff is lootable. To my knowledge it's the first and only lootable staff above the rank of common, I wish the developer's had stayed with the theme of such staves only being purchasable or winnable by quest. I'm also not super thrilled about cursed ice and dark curse being available on weapons that are not cursed.

I don't see a problem with it being lootable, as it's only around for two months a year. Personally, I like seeing change and different variants of weapons available in different ways. Granted, it would be cool to see some other types of Lootable staves that aren't event specific, but we'll see.

However, with Cursed Ice, I don't see this as a problem. It follows the theme of the weapons, and all the weapons that have it are Famed, so they aren't easy to get. Secondarily, these aren't the first non-cursed Weapons to have Cursed Ice. If you recall, the Red Candy Cane Sabre, available both last and this year, have access to it. It was the first of it's kind, but the new weapons use it very well, and I love that abilities are gaining variety from just a set number of weapons.

I disagree with this. It makes no sense to lock staves to events and the like. If anything, I'm hoping to see more lootable staves and grenades now that this update kinda broke the ice on it.

I liked the tradition of good staves being only available by purchase or by quest and am disappointed to see it broken. With nades there was no tradition, so; however the developers choose to make them available is fine with me.

With the staves it was a tradition that I'm sad to see broken. With cursed ice and dark curse the terms cursed and curse just make them seem to be obviously properties of cursed weapons; I wasn't happy about it with the weak weapons from last year and I'm even less happy about the new and more powerful weapons having cursed properties.

Which, fortunately or unfortunately is the way of game progression, friend. I know there are some things I dread to see on any weapons beside what they are presently on, although I know it's bound to be time for another weapon to gain it's ability.
