Winter Event Special Login Rewards
=================================

​

This year, we are once again bringing you guys a complete set of 35 login gifts for the entire duration of the Winter Event. These rewards will be taking over the regular daily login rewards, and will last until the very last day of the event.

Similar to normal login rewards, the reward track will reset every Monday so don't miss your chance at logging in at least once every day to get every reward. If you log on days 1, 2, 4 and 5 of the week, you will get the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th rewards. Refer to the graphic above to see what reward is available on which day of the week.

(PF2K's Personal Note: The Axe of the Piercing Frost is back in another form this year! See below for more details.)

7. What new Gear is available for the Event?

​

==
9. What happened to the Axe of the Piercing Frost?

​

Dev Comment: This item was initially designed specifically for the Norse Throwing Axeman. This made it quite unsuitable for every other unit that used a Great Axe. With this rework, we are aiming to make the item more appealing for more than one unit. However, it's important to note that the stats of this Axe made it so that Throwing Axemen were used a lot more often due to the increased Attack Range. To compensate for this, and to make Throwing Axemen more viable in Quests, particularly Legendary Quests, we are making adjustments to the Throwing Axeman Champion upgrade as well:
