We can’t believe December has already arrived! The Melodia Festival has only barely ended and we’re heading straight into winter! The annual Advent Calendar is once again up and running as well as a bunch of other updates. Put on your beanies and let’s go~

Melodia Competitions

House Competition

As previously announced, House Guile was the winner of this year’s House Competition! House Sorin was the runner-up. Monny can now be found in Prontera to claim your prizes!

Unfortunately, a mistake was made with the promised rewards this year, and the Book Fairy Egg was accidentally added as a reward during the event itself. As a solution, we have added a different pet with the same effects as a reward, namely the Adventurer Pope Egg. We do hope you all enjoy this one as well!
