    The Elves will be immune to weapons of that nature.

    Looks great. So I'm assuming that the IP restriction means that the wife and I will have to take turns on who gets to go to the event?

    No items will drop on death, however items will be consumed on use, and can wear down.

    They are supposed to be blue. I agree they look very purple though. Maybe we are both color blind.........

    The goal is for them to be blue, the final hues could possibly change by the time the patch is applied.

    You will not be allowed to bring mounts into the event. For this event it is recommended that you stable all your pets.

    If anyone is interested in the blue/white hues on the sandals/bear mask lemme know. I'm going for the pure white and would be willing to trade should I pull the one I don't desire.

    Pretty sure everyone and their grandma are going for the white mask and sandies :p (Now if there was a unique reddish hue for the mask..)

    Just came to me: a bloody polar bear mask!!! :D

    In the spirit of Christmas, since there are red, white and blue sandies, I think the good boys and girls would appreciate red, white, and blue hue masks as well!
