• Event Main Quests are released throughout the event; the last Event Main Quest is released December 20, 18:00 JST/20:00 PST. After clearing certain main quests, free quests for event item collection will be unlocked.
• Collect Sands of the Underworld and use them to roll in the Event Lottery.

1. The 5th Lottery Box's Grand Prize is War God's Exchange Ticket, which can be exchanged for a permanent copy of Altera the San(ta) in the event shop after 2017-12-20 16:00 JST/2019-12-20 20:00 PST.
2. The Event Lottery also contains Crystal Wreaths, which can be exchanged in the event shop for further copies of Altera the San(ta), used to strengthen her Noble Phantasm.
3. Santa's Moustaches are used to ascend Altera the San(ta). They are the Grand Prizes in Boxes 1 to 4 of the Event Lottery.

• Copies of
  
  Merry Sheep are available in the event shop for a total of 600 Snow Babies, 300 Corpse Bells, and 300 Hollow Candles. This event CE boosts drops of Sands of the Underworld.
• Refer to the Obtaining Event Drops for information on which quests are best for items. Refer to the Drop page to submit drop information or look at what other players have obtained in event free quests. Some numbers from the Drop page may be featured on the Farming Guide table.
  • It is a good idea to aim for the
     Merry Sheep
    CE in the shop first. Do 40AP (lvl 60) until you amass 300 Hollow Candles (equip
     Snow Pirates
    to boost) to purchase your first Merry Sheep.
  • Switch to 40ap (lvl 65) until you amass 300 Corpse Bells and 600 Snow Babies, equipping
     Party Time
    and
     Starry Nights
    respectively.
  • After you have acquired the number of
    
    Merry Sheep you want/can use, equip them and run either of the 40ap quests for Sands of the Underworld. 40ap (lvl 60) gives more base Sand drops, but 40ap (lvl 65) gives more stacks of Sand.
  • If you find you cannot handle the 40ap quests, refer to Obtaining Event Drops for lower-level alternatives.

Event Lottery

2x are needed for each roll in the current lottery box. 600x are needed to empty each box. Once the Grand Prize has been drawn from the item box, you can choose to reset the box and move on to the next item box (which you may choose to do if you cannot spend much time on the event), continue drawing from the box until you have obtained the other items you want from it, or reset the box once it is empty.

For Box 11 and beyond, the whole box must be emptied before it can be reset. Because of the valuable items within each box, it is often recommended to go through as many boxes as you can.

Box Number	Grand Prize
1 ~ 4	Santa's Moustache
5	- Exchange in event shop for Permanent Altera the San(ta)
6	Crystallized Lore
7 ~ 10
11+	No grand prize, box can only be reset once completely emptied.

1/2 AP Campaign (Main Quests)

During the event period, all Main Quests from Fuyuki to Babylonia will cost 1/2 their usual AP, on top of the permanent 1/2 AP for these quests. This means they effectively cost 1/4 of the original AP needed when they were originally released.

All other Main Quests will have their usual AP cost. Free quests are also not included. Even if you withdraw from battles, AP will be consumed.
