Frostval Returns for 2021

Battle through our returning seasonal events!

Frostval is a time of joy, hope, and... defending Lore from all the insane ice monsters that cannot stop attacking it?!?! Log in this weekend to battle through all our winter holiday events and unlock seasonal rewards!

/join Frostvale to begin battling through all the previous years of Frostval releases, then head to /helsgrove to take on the first of a series of holiday boss monsters designed by members of the AQWorlds player community! The concept for Helsdottir the Ancient was created by Despera, one of the winners of our Frostval Boss Monster Design contest!

Defeat Helsdottir in /helsgrove for a chance to get the following items:

• Helsgrove Guardian Armor
• Chibi Krampus Queen hairs
• Antler and Scarf helms
• Guardian Baton weapons
• and more!

Test your mettle (and metal!) against the biggest gifts of them all: Giefury* and his darker, deadlier self, GieFURIOUS! 

Both Giefury and GIE-FURIOUS have seasonal gifts for you:

• Frostval Nutcracker armor (red variant)**
• Giefurious armor set + pet
• Giefurious House Guard
• Festive Frostval Elf + Merry Frostvale Outfit armor set
• Festive Battle Elf armor (member-only)
• Blue Frosty-val Doge helm

FrostScythe also drops an version of his armor set, crafted by the incomparable Aranx just to help you celebrate Frostval!

* Giefury's name comes from the Old English noun "giefu" for "a giving, gift", which is related to the Old Norse word "gift, gipt" meaning "gift; good luck." 

** Created just for you by AQW Community artist, Dominik! 

Gifts, Gift, and MORE GIFTS!

It is time to let the SLAY bells ring! Head to the /Gifthulu map to battle an all-new boss monster stocked with gifts galore. Plus, find our fourth Frostval Gift, the 0 AC Frostval DragonSlayer, in Tinsel's Gift Boxes shop. Merry Frostval!
