Side effect of arenas: your expertise is set to 0. And no, you don't need the christmas weapons.
Lasareth
OP updated with arena info and skill list 
.defekt
Hmmm. I found the arenas boring after the first 2 minutes of fighting :\
AncientPC
My divine's set to 0 too, apparently your primary prof's attribute is always reduced to 0.

What's wrong with you people? Snowball arena is hella fun! My team's on a 10 game streak right now.

Snowball arena's the best thing in the update yet.
chosenbygod

I played for about an hour and a half... had three good teams. There's a reason to PvP (for me) again!

Snowball Arena has lots more skills than just those posted originally. Anyone know the full list?
AncientPC
From what I understand skills 1-4, 7, 8 are always the same.
Skill 5 either depends on which side you're on or completely random. It's either Yellow Snow (disease) or Avalanche (cripple foe + foes in area).
Skill 6 is always primary profession dependent.
Warrior = 5 sec charge + adren per ally charged
Monk = 10 sec soj
Necro = suicide well of profane
Elem = mind freeze

deathmf, thanks for the info. I went in again to see if I'd get any new spells, and I did see two new spells, one health regen and one necromancer-well-type. (the one above, probably)
If anyone has the specifics of these spells please share them and I'll add them to the list

Nothing new so far...
They added randomly spawning "presents" in all the major cities and you can pick thme up and give them to new npcs called "young cihld" and they give u a presnet back. also there is 3 grentches who run aruond the city trying to destroy the presents.
cant find anything new, ill post when i do

Its dyed... I though I could make the lava turn blue but all it did was turn the graphic blue and the lava well it stayed the same.

It would make sense to me that this Wintersday event would last the whole of... winter.
Then again it could end on Wintersday itself (New Years Eve) since the event has you helping either Grenth or Dwayna, and by Wintersday there will be only 1 victor.
Snowball fights wouldn't be an all year round thing, and with Chapter 2 in the makings and possibly an easter event, theres seems to be enough fun there

If you want christmas stuff go to "Ruins of Surmia" and and walk out into the eastern frontier and farm the grawl there, their necklaces are tradeable for goodies. Also...they drop dye alot...oh and shards too.
My dye spoils have been.
-Black
-Green x2
-Silver
-Red
-Blue
