Fellowship kicks off its seasonal festivities with the Stronghold Hearthwarming Event, running from December 11, 2025, through January 15, 2026. This limited-time update introduces a dedicated event currency, new cosmetic rewards, and specific gameplay mechanics that affect how you tackle dungeon runs over the next month.
Farming Warm Wishes in Adept Dungeons
The core of this event revolves around a new currency called "Warm Wishes." Unlike standard loot drops, you won't find these just by clearing trash mobs. You need to target specific festive mini-bosses that have begun spawning in dungeons.
There is a catch for players still leveling up: these bosses only appear in Adept tier dungeons and above. If you want to farm the event currency efficiently, you need to be running content that meets that difficulty threshold. These encounters are optional, but ignoring them means missing out on the currency needed for the event vendor, Old Thistlefrost.
New Cosmetics and Snowball Fights
Old Thistlefrost has set up shop in the Stronghold to exchange your Warm Wishes for exclusive seasonal gear. The rewards include new armor skins and mounts, specifically targeting a wide roster of heroes. If you main Helena, Meiko, Rime, Tariq, Mara, Elarion, Ardeos, Sylvie, or Vigour, there are specific cosmetic items available for you to unlock.
Outside of the dungeon grind, the Stronghold itself has received a mechanical update. You can now pick up and throw snowballs, adding a bit of social interaction between runs. While this doesn't impact your DPS or build, it's a solid way to kill time while waiting for your party to ready up.
How long is the Stronghold Hearthwarming Event available?
The event is live for roughly five weeks, ending on January 15, 2026. Since the rewards are tied to the seasonal currency, you'll want to prioritize those festive mini-boss kills before the vendor departs mid-January.
