Happy Holidays, Arks! Check out how Fleet Oracle will be spreading the holiday cheer by examining this article!
Every day Arks have something to celebrate, whether it be the eradication of an enemy or the fulfillment of a Client Order. Ultimately these tasks are about helping – or protecting – others, and that theme is featured strongly in the holiday season as well! ARKS HQ has wrapped quite a present for you this holiday season, so read on and we’ll unwrap it together!
QUNA’S HOLIDAY SPIRIT
Quna is feeling merry so she’s putting on performances of Eternal Encore with a holiday twist to them! Be sure to catch this special concert in the Shopping Plaza so you can experience the wintry magic with your fellow ARKS Operatives!
HOLIDAY DÉCOR
Begins: 12/08 (PST) (end of maintenance)
Ends: 12/31 11:59 PM (PST)
The trees have been lit, and piles of snow abound in the Shopping Plaza. You know what to do, Arks! That’s right, build a snowman! The stockings have even been hung in the Gate Area! With so much festive cheer, you’re bound to get in the holiday spirit!
CHRISTMAS ON ICE
Begins: 12/08 (PST) (end of maintenance)
Ends: 12/31 11:59 PM (PST)
In the snowy and normally silent Tundra area of Naverius, things are beginning to stir. Decorations have been placed, lights have been lit, and all await the pending festivities with glee. However, there are others that have also been attracted by the hubbub, and they are not on the guest list. Falspawn and other enemies are circling, attracted by the lights and music, and sadly they are not your average opponents. Resonant and other enhanced enemies have been spotted, and it’s up to you, ARKS Operatives, to ensure that our Holiday Venue remains safe for guests.
In groups of 12, you’ll have just 10 minutes to clear the rabble from the Venue, and Quest Points will be allotted to those who make the largest dent in the number of invaders. Naturally, as more enemies are defeated, the more intelligent and ferocious enemies will assume the defenders to have flagging spirits and will make their move; so be on your guard as your time nears its end.
Fortunately, these enemies appear to have quite the collection of rare weapons and equipment on them, so their extermination may be to your personal benefit as well.

FRANCA’S SNOWY SKI CHALET!
Begins: 12/08 (PST) (end of maintenance)
Ends: 12/31 11:59 PM (PST)
We hope you brought your skis or a snowboard, Arks! Or maybe an inner tube and an outfit that’s semi-waterproof at least. Franca’s Café is on point with a wintry theme; complete with giant snow-rappys and sledding runs! The rustic chalet theme of the café gives way to a patio that looks out upon a wintry horizon – and seating is ideal to watch operatives and civilians enjoying themselves on the slopes! For any celebrations that may be occurring, a snowy amphitheater has been set up, complete with benches and stage! So if you wish to hold a festive costume contest, surely this is the ideal place!
We hope you have as much fun with this event as we did planning it! See you at Franca’s Snowy Café, Arks!
