Krampus Encounter
- A special edition of the Town Cryer has chronicled the vile Krampus threatening Britannia’s trade routes!
- This edition is available for testing at the Britain Commons
- Trade crates have been replaced with gift boxes to prepare for the coming festival season.
- Icy Creatures have been spotted ambushing trade routes.
- As more trade orders are completed, larger creatures will spawn until Krampus’ minions ambush!
- These creatures are still subject to player power matching that applies to ambushers.
- Once Krampus minions begin ambushing trade routes, there is a chance Krampus will spawn.
- Krampus is subject to standard trade route ambusher spawn validations.
- Krampus cannot spawn at sea.
- Krampus cannot spawn in the Lost Lands.
- Krampus can only spawn in Trammel, except on Siege Perilous where Krampus can only spawn in Felucca .
- Krampus’ guardians must be defeated before he can be attacked.
- Only a single Krampus can be spawned at any given time.
- Krampus will despawn after an extended period of inactivity.
- Trade Orders cannot be acquired or turned in while Krampus is terrorizing a trade route, and City Trade Ministers will share Krampus’ location so those brave enough to challenge him can vanquish him and secure further trade routes.
- A previously unknown creature called the Frost Drake is known to be attracted to Krampus, and will spawn in proximity.
- Defeating Krampus will give a chance to all top attackers to acquire one of several rewards,

Trade Route Spawn Updates
- Additional spawn validations have been added to attempts made to spawn ambushers during a trade order.
- Ambushers will no longer spawn within 25% of the total distance of the trade order from the origin or destination. This will prevent issues where ambushers could spawn just outside city guard limits.
- Ambushers will no longer spawn while a player is in close proximity to the last location a spawn was checked, regardless of whether that spawn was successful.

Focus on what you can do, not what you can't.

This is a very unique and interesting concept, can't wait to test it tomorrow along with all the other amazing things in this publish. Good work team, looks like you've been busy!
A special thank you for the BOD book change....now some people can stop asking about it
Hey. We needed that! But never fear, I shall endeavor to persevere and find another windmill to joust at!

And this one actually made me laugh - the name Krampus is hilarious.
Sounds very cool, hats off.
And the BOD book change - another change players have wanted for so long.
I’m quite pleased!
Event sounds exciting. Still farming Khakdun too. Great end of year season stuff.
Good job!
