Chilly's Frostval Gifting Event
Donate AdventureCoins and give the gift of holiday /cheer
Chilly wants to help you and ALL the heroes of Lore have the merriest Frostval EVER! That's why he's on his way back to Battleon this December 15th. Once he arrives, talk to him to donate AdventureCoins to a random hero to make their holiday bright. Donating ACs will unlock in-game items as our way of rewarding your generosity. The names of generous heroes will be displayed on our Donation Showcase webpage.
One of the best parts of our videogame community is seeing heroes helping each other. Some help new players in-game, and many others will host activities, scavenger hunts, or do Artix Point giveaways on social media. We want to help bring that spirit of giving in-game.
How to donate AdventureCoins to other heroes
Log in and talk to Chilly in Battleon. Choose to donate AdventureCoins, check out the Donation Leaderboard, or see the items in the Generosity Coin Merge Shop.
To donate:
- Choose from a list of donation amounts
- Confirm your choice*
- Click the confirmation button and the game will choose a random hero to receive your gift!
Donation Details
- You'll get one Generosity Coin the first time you donate each day.
- You can donate any amount to get a Generosity Coin each day.
- Spend the coins or save them up to get gear from the seasonal merge shop.
- Every donation you make counts toward your Donation Leaderboard total
* Important note: we cannot refund your donation. The game will ask if you're sure you want to donate the amount you choose. Make sure you check and double-check before hitting the "confirm" button.
Frostval Gifting Rewards
Like in both EpicDuel and AdventureQuest, Chilly will have exclusive rewards and a leaderboard for heroes who donate. In AQWorlds, we're also introducing a new element: the Generosity Coin Merge Shop.
- The first time you donate each day, you'll automatically get a Generosity Coin.
- Spend them (or save them up) to get exclusive gear from the merge shop.
- In addition to their exclusive prize packs, top donators on the leaderboard will automatically unlock all of the merge shop items in their Book of Lore badge shop at the end of the gifting event.
You can unlock each armor in the shop and the Frosty Vamparagon Pet for 2 GC each. The helms, capes, and all the weapons are 1 GC each. The shop gear is seasonal, so if you can't get everything you want this year, you'll have another chance next year!
Frostval Gifting Leaderboard
Every time you donate ACs to a random Hero, it will contribute to your Donation Leaderboard total. At the end of the event, the top spots will unlock exclusive prize packs!
Our Frostval Gifting event will run from December 15th - January 3rd. Prize packs will be awarded January 4th.
