'Tis the Season for Giving!
Get into the giving mood of the holiday season by tackling the Bushwhackia Christmas event.You'll want to get started by heading to the event area in the Commons to meet up with the stranded elf and help him fix his teleporter. (It's delicate, OK?) Once you've got it operational, you'll be able to make the journey far to the North Pole where you'll find a bevy of characters who need your special skills to make the holiday celebrations work!
Your primary task will be helping the elves make presents by bringing them Candy Canes (that you find in bushes), but there is a veritable smorgasbord of holiday related quests to complete as well. All of these quests will unlock over the course of the event, with the last ones unlocking on Christmas Day.
Once you've found reindeer chow for the poor reindeer, then you can help out Santa by delivering a present to a random house daily.
New for 2017:
This year's update includes: a new Christmas tree for your ranch received from completing the Decorate Tree quest; a new Snowman ranch item from the Build a Snowman quest; custom items for ice fishing; 3 new daily quests; and more!
Presents all Around!!
Once a day, if you have excess tokens, you can send a Present to a friend! These presents will contain a random amount of gold, energy, mana, power and come with some other treats as well. If you want to send more presents in a day, it will cost you a few Bush Bucks. Talk to Sasha in the North Pole to learn more!Sasha has the power to gift your friends!
