Zones for the game will be in 1 ARR zone and 1 HW Zone. Hiding abilities like Sneak will be prohibited from the game, and 30% of your character must be visible at some angle! A special prize will be awarded to our Hide & Seek winners!
4:30p ET / 3:30p CT / 1:30p PT - Santa-Hunt
- In the vein of Azure's beloved "Manhunt" Azure Day event, this once a year special event will see Azure attendees chasing down Santa's great sack of prizes! The game will include parties that will all seek one person who will be chosen via a /random roll, who will take the Santa's big sack off to an unknown location in an announced ARR zone! Whoever finds the sack might be tempted to do the same...but scoring 3 points on either the seekers' side or those hiding with Santa's illustrious sack of amazement, may tip the balance of rewards this year in their favor? Will our seekers win a big team prize? Or will someone make off with a mega bounty, known only as the one and only jackpot- Santa's Sack itself!
5:30p ET / 4:30p CT / 2:30p PT - Azure Giving Circle
- The Azure Giving Circle is an old tradition where attendees gather around the Grand Azure Starlight Sentinel tree at our Infinitum Hall and receive gifts and share warm messages of gratitude and/or Azure/FFXIV journeys. All you have to do to attend is join the circle, and use /random for a random number that will correspond to a mystery prize delivered by Infinitum Master Reika Fujishima as she makes her way around the circle, giving out random gifts straight from Santa's wonderful sack or merriment and joy! What might you get this year? Have you been a good warrior of light and/or darkness? Santa's sack of joy and wonder has enough to go several times around the infamous Azure Giving Circle!
