Advent Calendar

Beginning from the 1st of December, doors on the advent calendar will open, one a day at noon UTC. The Calendar will remain available through New Year's Day, with a small bonus reward for opening each door on its first day of availability.

The rewards behind each door can range from useful equipment to rare items, but consistently include a level of Putting the Pieces Together: the Taste of Lacre and an Unusual Pail of So-Called Snow - these will come in useful later.

Historical Calendars

Prior to 2023, the Advent Calendar was hosted on a dedicated out-of-game page (now redirect to the game). Beginning from the 1st of December, doors would open, one a day at around noon UTC. Each door usually remains open for a day or two after being unlocked. Each open door linked to an Access Code to claim that day's gift.
