Christmas ’99 Gifts
- Between 221299 and 05012k, each character received a ticket for a holiday gift upon logging in.
- This ticket can be matched with any other player’s ticket.
- Once matched, both players can select from a choice of holiday gifts.
- The tickets are “blessed” and may only be used by the original character.
- All of the gifts are “blessed” and cannot be stolen or looted.
- As with all “blessed” items it is important to leave the item in your main backpack.
- Placing a “blessed” gift in a container inside your backpack will make the item susceptible to thieves as they can steal the container with the “blessed” item inside.

| Image | Item | Description |
 | Snowballs! | To throw a snowball at another player, double-click the snow pile and target that player. Only players who have a snow pile in their backpack may be targeted and you will receive a message if the targeted player is not a valid target. There is a delay as to how often you can throw a snowball from the snow pile. The snow piles have unlimited uses. |
 | Clothing Bless Deed | One use only. After double-clicking the deed, target an article of clothing (such as tunics, boots, hats, etc.). Once targeted, the clothing will become “blessed”. “Blessed” clothing can still take damage (from maces for example) and will have [blessed] after the name. |
 | Potted Plant Deed |
Double-clicking the deed will create one of five random potted plants at your feet. The plant can be picked up and carried. Although the potted plant deed is “blessed”, the plant itself is not. Like normal items, potted plants need to be locked down once Phase III is in effect. |
 | Holiday Tree Deed | House Add-On. Places a Holiday/Christmas Tree. |
 | Watch | Double-clicking it will give you the time. Labeled as a holiday timepiece, different from a wristwatch given out previously. Also, since they are “blessed” and not “newbiefied”, Reds can keep them on death. |
 | Fireworks Wand | a fireworks wand (if it has the full 100 charges) or a fireworks wand with # charges 100 charges. Double-click the wand to shoot fireworks. |
- Find another player with a valid ticket.
- Open a trade window.
- Once one ticket is in the window, you do not have to agree to the trade.
- Double-click your ticket and target the other player’s ticket in the trade window.
- You will be given the menu to select your gift.
- You do not need to actually give your ticket to another player to use it.
- Note that if you cancel the menu and the other player does not, you will need to find another ticket to match.
Alternatively, if you have a safe way to transfer tickets between characters;
- Character A passes ticket to Character B on the same account.
- B double-clicks her ticket and targets A’s ticket. A’s ticket remains, since A is not in the world at the time.
- Repeat with Characters C – E.
- Return original ticket to Character A.
- Character A finds an another player to match with, as above.
Clothes that deserve to be blessed;
- Coloured Sandals.
- True Black, Unused, item [exceptional] sewned by Lord GM Tailor.
- Actually the rarest item of clothing in the game right now, but coloured sandals are worth a lot more.
- The [exceptional] tag only lasted between 23rd November and 9th December.
- GM Tailors are rare, Lord GM Tailors are rarer.
- As clothes cannot be repaired, of course you want it to be unused before you bless it. Use Armslore to check its durability.
Clothes that you might want to bless;
- Magic masks.
- “recovered from a shipwreck” – Skullcap, Tricorne Hat, Thigh Boots, Boots, Shoes, Sandals.
Clothes that you should never bless;
- “newbie” – Floppy Hat (Fishing), Boots (Tracking), Cloak (Hiding, Detect Hidden, Spirit Speak), Half Apron (Craft Skills), Long and Short Pants (Males), Skirt and Kilt (Females), Fancy Shirt, Shirt and Doublet (All).
