Thanksgiving: easy one... donate food to the feast, add global triple! (*cough*quad*cough)
EPICMAS!!^!11!1^11!1!1!(#GOTO:FUN)
The season of Epic Clause!
first things first, PRESENTS!
Presents can drop randomly from any mob or tradeskill attempt, maybe 1/50 for a small present. a small present has a 1/20 chance to give a large present, and a large present has a 1/5 chance of becoming a giant present. Size doesn't matter, the smaller presents can just contain vouchers for bigger ones, which are auto-redeemed. That puts giant present odds right around 1/5k, allowing most high activity players 1 per day, with some getting 2, by the odds.
Small Presents can contain:
1-2 credits
2-5 minutes personal triple
1 Snowflake
1 Stocking (only get 1, once you have 1 you can't get another)
1 Epic Clause Hat
current level x 1,000 xp
Large Present voucher
Large Presents can contain:
2-5 credits
5-15 minutes personal triple
3-5 minutes global triple
2-3 Snowflakes
1 Epic Clause Boots
1 Epic Clause Gloves
Giant Present voucher
Giant Presents can contain:
5-10 credits
15-45 minutes personal triple
10-30 minutes global triple
5-10 Snowflakes
1 Epic Clause Coat
1 Epic Clause Bag
New Items:
Snowflake - Augments/Boosts professions (can't really say how until we see professions
)
Stocking - Can only have 1. You can either open it, which is effectively a Giant Present, or donate it, which will turn into 30 minutes of global triple.
EQUIPMENT!! (All equipment is artifact rarity in color, but has no gem slots)
Epic Clause Hat - during event: current level x 4 defense + 15% ts boost // after event: current level x 2 or 2.5 defense + 5% ts boost
Epic Clause Boots - during event: current level x 4 defense + 25% ts boost // after event: current level x 2 or 2.5 defense +5% ts boost
Epic Clause Gloves - during event: current level x 4 defense + 25% ts boost // after event: current level x 2 or 2.5 defense +5% ts boost
Epic Clause Coat - during event: current level x 5.5 defense + 35% ts boost // after event: current level x 2.5 or 3 defense + 10% ts boost
Epic Clause Bag (takes both weapon slots, cannot dual wield) - during event: current level x 15 damage + 50% ts boost // after event: current level x 10 damage + 20% ts boost
You can also have a full suit bonus if you are lucky enough to get them all.
You can also have quests and what not but there's a good base system to go with, at least imo.
Notice there is no double, this would require the addition of bankable triple and an easy solution on conflicting double/triple is easy: just get rid of double and when something runs, its triple
Also personal triple timer would only count down when you are online.
Also since the equipment will allow people to move up during the event, make dropping quests free while it is running.
