All loot options for all adventures:

Getting into the Christmas Spirit

Only available through the Christmas calendar, new buff adventures are introduced with this year's event. The "Buff Adventures" are a series of adventures asking players to "deliver" gifts to houses on multiple islands. They are balanced for the following level groups: 16-25, 26-35, 36+. When opening one of the special doors, a player gets an adventure based on the player's level and the door itself (later doors include longer adventures). There will be 6 special adventure doors available in the calendar. Similar to the "Summer event" special adventures, camps on the map are occupied by 1 or 2 different unit types. Each can be "defeated" with 1 or 2 different buff types.

Unit Types:

Unit name	Buff alternative 1	Buff alternative 2	Adventure level	Icon
Sad child	Simple toys	Simple decorations	16-25
Worried adult	Cookies	Simple decorations	16-25
Upset child	Sophisticated toys	Delicate decorations	26-35
Grumpy adult	Gift wrapped beverage	Delicate decorations	26-35
Impatient child	Pony ride	Expensive toys	36+
Bitter adult	Art gift	Jewelry	36+

The different types of buffs ("gift" themed) can be produced in the Provision House by using resources.
They can then be used on houses (camps) on adventure islands to defeat and turn them into beautiful Christmas homes.

Buff Types:

Buff name	Required 1	Resource 2	Icon
Simple toys	30 x Pinewood	20 x Stone
Cookies	14 x Wheat	24 x Water
Simple decorations	10 x Marble	20 x Hard wood
Sophisticated toys	10 x Bronze	15 x Marble
Gift wrapped beverage	25 x Brew	20 x Simple paper
Special decorations	5 x Nib	2 x Gold ore
Pony ride	5 x Exotic wood	20 x Tools
Expensive toys	12 x Gold ore
Art gift	10 x Iron bar	4 x Intermediate paper
Jewelry	12 x Gold ore

According to BB some elements of the old Combat system had to be changed. The list below provides a brief overview of the adjustments.

Important: Basic combat mechanics, adventure unit deployments and low level units were not touched!

Changes take place during the maintenance between 24 & 30 november 2014.

• Adventure loot adjustments
  The loot will be changed completely. Instead of weapons, raw materials for producing weapons will be included and the loot will be adjusted to the losses of the particular adventure.

  Some of the units used in the Epic Raid adventures were rebalanced.
  Hitpoints and Attack damage were changed, some units can deal out Splash Damage.
  Also, the amount of XP for defeated units was adjusted in some cases.
• Unit production times
  Production times for Elite Soldier, Crossbow Man, Cannoneer and Cavalry were decreased.
• Resource adjustments
  Production times for Steel Sword, Damascene Sword, Canon, Gunpowder and Carriage were decreased. Furthermore, production costs for Damascene Sword and Canon were also decreased.
• Adventure Types and Icons
  Adventure types were adjusted and a feedback with concrete icons and colours
  for type and difficulty was added for each adventure.
• Adventure Loot Button
  "Add to Star Menu" and "Add to storage" buttons were implemented for adventure loot mails as well.
• Adventure Searches
  The Adventure searches were adjusted.
  Possibilities were changed and some adventures added / removed.
