Gifting was first introduced during the Halloween Trick AND Treat event in 2010 and allows Hunters to send free gifts to friends. This should not be confused with the gifts from the Festive Gift Shoppe, where hunters buy gifts to send, nor the transfer of supplies via the Give To Friends option.

The number of gifts to select from can vary from 4 to 9; one is a "Gift of the Day" which changes daily, the others are standard and can be cheese, collectibles or crafting items. It can be accessed by clicking the GIFT icon at the top of the page, or by going to this link. A Hunter must be of a minimum rank of Recruit to send gifts. Unclaimed gifts expire after 7 days.

Limits

There is a limit on the number of gifts hunters are able to receive (claim) each day. The limit is dependent on rank.

The numbers are as follows:

Hunter's Title Claim Limit
Recruit - Apprentice 3

There is no limit on the total number of gifts hunters can send out, but only one gift per friend per day is allowed.
