December 20, 2024 EpicDuel Gifting 2024 ContinuesEpicDuel is back online after an update to manually open all currently unopened gifts. If you login and see your mailbox empty, don't panic: your items and Credits have already been awarded! This was done to alleviate stress of the server of storing millions of mail records for just as many gifts. Since Gifting gets crazier with each daily event, it is almost guaranteed we will need to perform this action again before the conclusion of Gifting.
Secret and Silver Secret Package Prizes RevealedWe're finally able to reveal a preview of the Secret and Silver Secret prizes! If you didn't know, Secret packages are awarded to the #1 Daily Gifter each day. Silver Secret packages are awarded to the top 5 places of the Daily Gifting leaderboard each day. Anyone giving more than 15,000 gifts in a day also qualifies for a Silver Secret Package. Secret Package Prizes:

Gifting Score Tier Bonus ItemsThe following is a preview of the Alpha-Omega Valkyrie Collection, including all the tiers and currently planned items for each tier. We would love to have graphics for all the items ready, but some are still in progress so we're showing off the most complete items right now. The preview graphic should provide a good overview for what the collection's style will be.
It's possible this list will change between now and the end of Gifting, so pay attention to the Design Notes for notification of any alterations.
Balance Changes
Bug FixesThe daily login prize Festive Callisto P was failing to load and preventing players from joining battle. This has been fixed as of the latest update. Tags: Nightwraith | |
December 15, 2024 EpicDuel Patch 1-8-888EpicDuel is back online after an unscheduled Sunday update, but we didn't want Gifting to progress too long without making these urgent changes!
Credit Rewards BoostedWith this update, we are increasing Credit rewards for gifts. This will not affect gifts already given, but will apply to all gifts given for the rest of Gifting. To help some Gifters catch up with their expected Credit rewards, we're introducing a new item: Epic Ingot. This item will be available with Prize Codes and can be turned in via daily missions available from Krampus Trader. These ingots will be given out throughout Gifting so be on the lookout for this extremely valuable new item.

December 10, 2024 EpicDuel Gifting 2024 PatchEpicDuel is now LIVE after a brief reboot to increase the chance of global gifting! Previously, the chance to send a global gift (gifting to everyone in the entire server rather than just the people in the current room) was capped at 20% at a Gifting streak of over 200. Now, the cap has been raised to 100%, meaning global gifts are now guaranteed as long as the gifter maintains a streak of over 200. Plus, all lower tiers have been boosted as well:
This change was made to address the issue of the impossibility of trying to cram every player on the server into one room. Even though the rooms technically have unlimited capacity, the Flash and the server simply can't handle that many players on one screen. This leaves many poor souls locked out of the Gifting rooms when the big events are occurring. With this change, as long as the highest streak is maintained, everyone on the server can share in the bounty!
Score AdjustmentIf you already participated in Gifting before this update, don't panic! We will be adjusting scores upwards by 11.4% (rounding up) to account for the lower rate of global gifts. Scores were recorded right before the update, and they will be adjusted manually as quickly as we can. If the score increase bumps your achievement into a higher tier, you will receive that new tier. We apologize for the inconvenience, but making this change earlier in the season should make Gifting more fair for everyone. Nobody should have to melt their CPU just to stand in the same room as the main Gifting event! Tags: Nightwraith | |
December 09, 2024 EpicDuel Gifting 2024 is NOW LIVE!EpicDuel's latest Gifting event is NOW LIVE! Login now to give and receive thousands and prizes and climb the leaderboards! Though it's difficult to imagine a more intense Gifting season than 2023, we hope this current season is equally full of excitement and triumph until it concludes at the end of the day on January 13th, 2025!
More Returning SeasonalsThis year, to eliminate the millions of duplicate items people receive from large Gifting sessions, we've removed the normal drops from the Gifting pool, leaving either various quantities of Credits or Arcade Tokens. Many items that were formerly in the Gifting drop pools have been added to NPCs throughout Frysteland, including Aldhagrimm, Fenris, King Alaric, and the Krampus Trader. If you are mission the items necessary to complete the various missions tied to these drops, simply buying the items will be enough. In addition to more stock added to these festive NPCs, we've also returned the Evolved Frostbane drops to the PvP drop pool and reactivated the Void Shard missions. These missions will remain in place until shortly after Gifting concludes. Tags: Nightwraith | |
December 06, 2024 Are You Yeti for Gifting 2024?Gifting 2024 launches on Monday December 9th which means you still have a few days to prepare! We plan to activate Gifting in the early afternoon on Monday (between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM EST). There are a ton of moving parts for Gifting, and we're doing everything we can to make sure this year's launch goes as smoothly as possible. If you need to refresh yourself on the current rules and rewards for this upcoming Gifting season, you can inform yourself with this thorough Design Notes post!
Gifting Concierge ReminderSmoking Shadow has been the Gifting Concierge for many years so if you're thinking about participating in Gifting in a big way, you'll have a much easier time if you contact him. He allows Gifters to schedule time so two or more major Gifting sessions don't overlap and compete against each other. Booking your time in advance gives you a better chance of maximizing your score to secure a spot on the leaderboard! If you haven't reached out already, you can still get in touch with him through a few ways: In-game: Smoking Shadow Gifting slots are limited so the sooner you secure your booking, the better.
Deltamancer Battlepass PreviewThe Deltamancer Battlepass will launch Friday December 13. This will help us minimize problems for Gifting's launch on Monday and provide everyone a few more days to finish off the Kaiju Slayer Showcase. Tags: Nightwraith | |
