you must have worked really hard on this one, nonetheless i'm glad something was done.

extremely disappointing stats on all the gift shop items; when you create all these new items for Christmas you don't have to make them worse than everything because they're free, you can make them low tier and still original or used for a possible build. remember the first hp belt? easter belt. first low-tier dex boots? rabbit feet, they'll hold their value at a low level because new players will need them.

The gift shop is now open. It is located on Events Island.

The stats are fine this way and totally OK. People are spoiled since the last few holiday events.

I am going to host a XMas Raffle at 00:00 Server Time.

Real Gift Shop item stats: (bolded are focused on in later posts)

Archknight Sword - 8dam (physical)
Shined Wing (Sword) - 7dam (physical)
Messiah Sandals (ac+2) (resist fear +15) (resist death +10) (resist holy word +20)
White Tree Shield int+1 ac+2 magic resist +10
Claw of the Demonic str1 dam3 resist fire +15 magic-5
Rescuer Boots (hp-15)(speed+1)(ac+1)(resist slow+15)(resist par +15)
Spike Armour (Str+1) (Speed-1) (dam+2) (resist fire-10 resist magic-5)
Obsidian Bracers (HP+15) (SP+10) (Resist Fire+20)
Snow Beanie (hp+10) (ac+1) (resist cold+20)
Elf Blue & Brown(red) Christmas Scarfs - statless

these are all the new items released in the gift shop, and nico had an 10 item raffle for christmas day consisting of all of the gift shop items and a warhammer of crushing.

simple, innovative, and wearable updates to the bolded items:

Edit: Messiah Sandals (ac+2) (resist electricity +15) (resist fire +15) (resist cold +15) (resist magic+10)

this would make these sandals wearable to anyone seeking to stack resistances. simple enough, still not overpowered, and they are WEARABLE. unlike how they were before.

Edit: White Tree Shield (sp+25) (magic+2) (speed+1) (resist fire -15) (resist cold +25)

this would make this an absolutely wearable mage shield- yet, as I said before, it would still not be overpowered to put into a gift shop. We're wasting images of shields by giving them int+1 and assuming someone is going to waste their items. What gives you the idea we can afford this?

~

Edit: Claw of the Demonic dex+1 speed+1 str+1 hp-10 resist fire +25

Last but not least, I was extremely disappointed by this necklace. Necklaces are so scarce that they could be made into anything and become an entirely new archetype of gear-sets. I'm really starting to believe whoever is creating the stats for these items has no concept of builds or economical value of items. The stats I created for this item are a simple mockup blending a speed ammy and a demon stone into one, a low value common

Why do you guys use server time instead of human time?
"00:00 UTC" or whatever the hell server time is would be a lot easier to understand.

Your wrong, server time is 1 time that can be seen by everyone on gk, and what you are suggesting is only on 1 timezone and would make people confused, and they would have to check what time diffrence there is reguarding to were they live.

That isn't the case at all. On Era, the server time is just EST (since it's the most common timezone for Era's players). GK could easily do the same thing with whatever timezone it wants. Easy for everyone, even those who apparently have trouble telling time, to use .
