===Tournament Hall Grand Opening===

''{{date|12|January|2012}}''
 
 
<blockquote>
 
<blockquote>
−
After a lengthy construction process, the King's [[Tournament Hall]] has opened its doors to hunters!
 
  
−
The Tournament Hall is located in Valour and has a variety of shoppes where you can exchange your Tournament Tokens for hunting loot and equipment.
+
==== The Frost King's Latest Attack ====
 +
The return of wintry weather has once again allowed the Frost King to construct his massive Ice Fortress. Hunters will need to smash their way through the Frost King's protective ice shield in order to end his plan to plunge Gnawnia into perpetual winter.
  
−
====Tournament Bases====
+
Visit the Great Winter Taiga to find magical snow golems that are perfect for collecting all sorts of resources! Along with useful hunting supplies, your golems can collect powerful Hailstones to smash through the Ice Fortress' shield.
  
−
The King has commissioned the creation of three new bases as rewards for the most dedicated of tournament competitors!
+
{| style="width: 100%; margin: auto; border-spacing: 1em; text-align: center"
 +
|-
 +
| style="width: 50%; padding: 0.416em" | Collect Pecan Pecorino to loot Golem Parts
 +
| style="width: 50%; padding: 0.416em" | Forge more Golem Parts at the Workshop
 +
|-
 +
| style="width: 50%; padding: 0.416em" | Send Golems out to collect loot and Hailstones
 +
| style="width: 50%; padding: 0.416em" | Fire Hailstones at the fortress to stop the Frost King
 +
|}
  
−
Although these bases have impressive stats on their own, they really shine when armed with a [[Champion Charm]]. Along with the extra luck a charm provides, each tournament base gains a lucky glow when armed with a Champion Charm.
+
{| style="width: 100%; margin: auto; border-spacing: 1em"
 +
|- style="text-align: center"
 +
| style="width: 50%; padding: 0.416em" | '''25 Festive Jingle Bells'''<br>Instantly return a golem!
 +
| style="width: 50%; padding: 0.416em" | '''Magical Holiday Hat'''<br>+3 loot to ANY level golem!
 +
|}
  
−
'''Bronze Tournament Base'''
+
<div style="text-align: center;">Collect the Frost King's Magical Holiday Scarf to construct an especially rewarding golem!</div>
  
−
The Bronze Tournament Base is a reward for hunters who have shown they are capable of competing in hunting tournaments. When armed alongside a Champion Charm, in addition to the charm's luck, this base glows with an additional +2 luck, for a '''total of 10 luck'''!
+
==== Uncork Festive Spirit ====
 +
When all the warm and fuzzy feelings from the holiday season are condensed and coalesced by a crisp north wind it produces this truly miraculous vapour that is believed to be the physical manifestation of joy itself.
  
−
'''Silver Tournament Base'''
+
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em">Double Compressed Cinnamon anytime a mouse drops it!
  
−
The Silver Tournament Base is a reward for hunters who have shown not only their ability to compete in hunting tournaments, but their dedication to winning tournaments. When armed alongside a Champion Charm, in addition to the charm's luck, this base glows with an additional +3 luck, for a '''total of 13 luck'''!
+
+1 progress to all active forges in the Golem Workshop!
  
−
'''Golden Tournament Base'''
+
+1 shield damage when '''any''' cannon is fired (for a possible max of four)
  
−
The Golden Tournament Base is a reward that is renowned as a symbol of a seasoned tournament competitor. Only the most dedicated of hunters dare set the goal of obtaining this opulent base. When armed alongside a Champion Charm, in addition to the charm's luck, this base glows with an additional +4 luck, for a '''total of 15 luck'''!
+
Conjures 1 Throwable Snowball each and every hunt!
  
−
Champion Charms can be purchased from the Tournament Hall [[General Store#Tournament Hall General Store|General Store]], where they sell a pack of 12 for 1 Tournament Token. Using Champion Charms with a Tournament Base allow a hunter to reach the highest level of luck possible, so stock up!<br />(Note that this is incorrect, the highest possible luck can only be reached by arming [[Ultimate Luck Charm]]s.)
+
Double loot drops of a wide variety of festive-themed items at the Taiga!</div>
  
−
====Champion Trap Skins====
+
You can obtain Festive Spirit by hunting with standard cheese, completing Naughty Maps, opening doors on your Advent Calendar, and by purchasing it from the Premium Shop.
  
−
Along with bases, you'll also find new trap skins at the Tournament Hall [[Trapsmith#Tournament Hall Trapsmith|Trapsmith]]. These champion skins are unique to tournaments and are the perfect way to show off your tournament skill!
+
{| style="width: 100%; margin: auto; border-spacing: 1em"

|- style="text-align: center"
 +
| style="width: 50%; padding: 0.416em" | '''25 Festive Spirit'''<br>More loot!
 +
| style="width: 50%; padding: 0.416em" | '''100 Festive Spirit'''<br>Storm the Ice Fortress!

+
<div style="text-align: center; border: 0.083em solid; border-radius: 0.416em; padding: 0.416em; font-size: 110%"><div style="font-size: 125%">Festive Spirit '''will not double''' the following items dropped by mice:</div>

The Great Winter Hunt Returns!

9 December 2025

Start sending golems to collect loot

Visit the Great Winter Taiga and Confront the Frost King once again

The Frost King's Latest Attack

The return of wintry weather has once again allowed the Frost King to construct his massive Ice Fortress. Hunters will need to smash their way through the Frost King's protective ice shield in order to end his plan to plunge Gnawnia into perpetual winter.

Visit the Great Winter Taiga to find magical snow golems that are perfect for collecting all sorts of resources! Along with useful hunting supplies, your golems can collect powerful Hailstones to smash through the Ice Fortress' shield.
