★ The giftbulls hoard...

 

Smaller rifts are becoming more frequent, and weirder. Definitely weirder. A perfectly wrapped gift popped out of one today... You have a strange feeling that this one was meant for you.

• Once per day until December 31st you can grab a random gift from the giftbull's hoard! Resets at midnight.
• This gift can open into one of three presents, each with different drops!
• The contents and rates of each gift are a mystery!
• You may find an odd item in addition to the normal gift loot, it seems like you can't use it yet...
• NOTE: If you don't see an item drop, that means you got currency so be sure to check your bank!
