24.28 Stockings

Stocking are unique items you can purchase from our website and HANG for you or your friends. 

Once hung, Ironbeard will show up around midnight each day. Stockings come in 4 varieties: Festive, Fancy, Grand, and Extravagant. Each stocking tier containing higher and higher values of gifts inside! That's not to say that you'll luck out if you stick with the Festive stockings, as they have a chance to contain the higher tiered gifts.

For every 5 stockings of each type you purchase, you'll receive either a gold or platinum stocking of that tier. If you purchase 5 fancy stockings, you'll get a gold (or platinum) fancy stocking. These special versions contain double the reward value as the regular versions.

Gold stockings will be filled on December 25th. Platinum stockings will be  filled January 1st. Unhung gold stockings will be converted to platinum versions after December 25. These tallies count over multiple purchases, so if you purchase 5 single stockings over the month, you'll get a special version with your 5th purchase.

Finally every hundred or so stocking that are opened, one lucky player will get a stocking loaded with a TON of extra goodies.
