The exchange has
4 tiers for participation:
- 50k and up
- 100k and up
- 250k and up
- 500k and up.
Players will be matched with another user in the same tier. All players are expected to provide a gift worth no less than the minimum of their tier. However, there is
NO MAXIMUM. We welcome Santas (that’s you!) to shower their match with generosity.
Your elf is your guide to the event. Your elf will deliver a welcome letter with your match’s information, will assist you with asking any anonymous questions to your match, and will ultimately hold and deliver the gift to your match. You should always feel comfortable reaching out to your elf with questions, but we, the hosts,
@Valikor and
@FloatingInSpace, are also a resource available to you. Players can PM or ping us for any reason.
As a Santa, you are not required to shop from your match’s list, but please prepare your gift with the spirit of generosity in your heart.
We ask all players to submit a wishlist, which can be a helpful resource. But ultimately, treat others the way you wish to be treated.
While we encourage generosity in giving, we would also like to encourage players to add variety to their wishlists. We do not enforce any specific wishlist rules, but please keep your participation tier in mind.
We recommend your wishlist include a few items valued at about half your tier (so items worth about 50k if you are in the 100k tier, for example).
Stocking stuffers are low value items that you may enjoy or collect. On the sign up form, we have a section where you can share the items you collect with your Santa.
Your wishlist
must be for yourself as your gifts will only be sent to you. While you are welcome to resell, regift, etc what you receive later, this is not the place to request gifts for, or to be sent to, others for any reason. This is to prevent confusing or upsetting scenarios for your Santa or elf.
Santas have a few things to consider while planning their gift. This gift exchange is primarily for site items – genes, breed changes, eggs, vistas, skins/accents, apparel, familiars, etc. Art, coliseum grinding, story writing, and similar gifts can be a lovely surprise extra for your match,
but elves are not able to put a value on these gifts and therefore they are not counted as a complete gift.
Stocking stuffers should be just that, and should not make up a large portion of the gift’s value.
Dragons may also be part of your gift if your match is open to accepting dragons. Whether or not they accept dragons will be stated in their wishlist. Dragons are also difficult to value and depend on personal taste, and therefore dragons do not count towards the value of your gift.
GIFT MINIMUMS:
Your gift must be worth the minimum value required by your tier on December 21.
One item in your gift must be worth at least half of your tier’s value.
However, there are exceptions.
- Treasure and gem MP Specialty and Genes tab items can be added together to reach the half-tier value (for example, in the 500kt tier, an Aether Boa gene (85k) + Falcon gene (170k) = 255k, or more than half of the 500k tier).
- When your gift closely matches the wishlist, the less it matters that you have one half-value item in your gift. For example, in the 500k tier, if your match wants eggs and you send in 3 Nocturne eggs valued at 190g each, your gift still meets the guidelines since you gifted items directly from the wishlist.
Your elf can help you assess your gift if you have any questions.
How we calculate value:
- Our gem:treasure ratio is 1:1000.
- Gem MP items are valued at their MP price.
- Treasure MP Specialty, Genes, and Scenes & Vistas tab items are valued at their normal MP price.
- All other items (apparel, familiars, battle stones, trinkets, materials, skins/accents, etc.) are valued at their lowest AH price.
- Apparel bundles will be evaluated on an individual basis.
- Only site items are used to calculate gift value.
Special Considerations
- NotN items' values plummet during the event. NotN starts just after gift turn in this year, but we expect that some values will be turbulent as people prepare for the event. Please take care that your gift does not depend on a high-value NotN item.
- ALL unhatched egg values plummet in expectation before and during NotN
- Gem MP items can also be combined together or with scrolls to meet the half tier value requirement.
The Golden Rule:
Please participate in this exchange with the spirit of generosity in your heart. You may put anything you'd like on your wishlist, but please keep in mind the tier you sign up for during the event.
Should any situation arise that falls outside these guidelines, volunteers will assess the situation and provide a (hopefully) satisfying conclusion. Please never hesitate to ask any questions. Thank you!
