The DDO Winter Games

 

 

Midwinter Festival


The village of Eveningstar has frozen over and the fun is just getting started! Head on over to the frozen river and use your free daily tokens to your hand at speed skating. 

While whirling through the course, catch as many snowflakes as you can! These snowflakes can be traded in for prizes such as wintery upgrades to armor and shields and a rare polar bear cub!  Be on the lookout for Midwinter Voles-hit them with an attack or spell and receive double snowflakes and Haste! Want to race more often? Extra tokens are available in the DDO Store!

 

The Risia Ice Games!


The Risia Ice Games are available to players of all levels! Test your skills on our series of slippery slopes, or just relax with friends as you glide across the ice. To get in on the action, visit the following regions:
 
The Harbor
 
An ice skating rink is available at the base of the Lighthouse!
 
The ice jump begins at the top of the Harbor cliff behind the Harbormaster’s House!
 
House Phiarlan
 
An icy half-pipe is available at the back of the Bogwater Tavern!
 
Collect the floating white, blue, and purple ice coins and trade them with the powerful wizard, Jack Frostbite, for wondrous icy gifts, crafting recipe cards, and frosty ingredients for the Risian Eldritch Device at the Lighthouse! Jack can be found at the Bogwater half-pipe or by the Lighthouse ice rink helping to keep the ice cold! If you find your winter sporting skills lacking, you can still earn ice coins by doing some good old fashion clobbering! Hunt down fire creatures in quests, adventure areas, and raids, who can also drop the ice coins!
 

Ice Skates and More!


Need more speed to reach the extra valuable ice coins? Tired of falling down and being laughed at by your friends in the rink? Ice skates are available for rent in exchange for ice tokens. The skates will prevent you from falling on the ice, and also give you some extra speed. Look for the rental NPC at the ice rink!
 
Also be sure to check the DDO Store for fun wintery items:
 

 

 

Ice Skates:
 

You'll need these skates to take full advantage of Stormreach's winter sports fun! Put these skates on to get big air off the ski jump in the Harbor and skate to your heart's content on House Phiarlan's half pipe. Also give a small bonus to the Jump skill.

Tired of walking back to the top of the ski jump? This hot cocoa will bring you there instantly from any public area! Less time running, more time ski jumping. 10 & 50-Stacks available!
