Decorate the Tree[]
You can decorate the Tree by either spending Winterfest Baubles or Emeralds to increase its level:
- Spend Winterfest Baubles and receive the same amount of Winterfest Coins
- Decorate the Tree for 100 Emeralds and get 500 Winterfest Coins
- Launch the Holiday Fireworks for 10,000 Emeralds and get 50,000 Winterfest Coins for yourself, plus an additional 100 Winterfest Coins for everyone in your Guild, and a festive fireworks show in Strongford for everyone on your entire server! These fireworks shows can be launched completely anonymously or display your account's and/or guild's name/s.
Once the Tree levels up, each Guild member will receive a gift from Wendy!
