Overview
Winter has arrived in Millennium City! The temperature has dropped and snow has started to fall. Even though the weatherman predicts that there won't be any accumulation, it's time to bundle up with a hat and scarf. Don't forget to stop by the giant ornamented tree in the middle of Renaissance Center to obtain a daily present and see Santa!

For more information you can speak to the the Toy Master's Apprentice located by the jet in Renaissance Center.
Donating to Charity
Primary article: March of the Misfit Toys
And since this is the season for giving, why not head over to one of the five Charity Workers found in the neighborhoods of Millennium City and think about donating some hard earned global. Look for the large piles of gifts on the street corners.
However, Black Harlequin has been showing up and threatening the Charity Workers. When this happens, you can participate in the open mission, March of the Misfit Toys.
The Open Mission has a 1 hour global cooldown timer and once it is complete, the Open Mission will then start again at one of the 5 locations. Prior to the start of each open mission, Black Harlequin will make an announcement which will indicate which of the 5 spots he is going to be at.

Presents
| Search high and low for the Toy Master's gifts. Throughout the neighborhoods of Millennium City, Desert, the Canadian Wilderness and Monster Island, he has scattered presents as a gift to the Heroes of the world. Presents may be located on the ground, on rooftops, stairways, building ledges, and any other relatively flat surface. Hidden inside the presents are goodies and fun treats. (Note: Every present has something inside of it.) However, what would be the holiday spirit without a little grin...misfit toys? Well, the heinous villain known as Black Harlequin has decided that his latest escapade is to to ruin the holiday spirit by switching some of the presents the Toy Master has placed in the city with ones filled with dangerous and deadly attack toys. You will not be able tell that a present has Misfit Toys in it until after opening it. The defeat of the Misfit Toy (should you open a present with them) will still award a drop. Switched presents can have 1 to 3 Misfit Toys in them. Each Misfit Toy has a chance to award a drop, so a switched present that has 3 Misfit Toys inside can result in 0 to 3 drops. |
Missions
Primary Article: Winter Event Missions
The Toy Master also has special missions for players that would like to collect the winter action figures he has commissioned. Along with the goodies and fun treats, he has placed the three pieces required for each of the 15 action figures. After accepting the mission from the Toy Master, turn in those parts to him for assembly and you will get a shiny new Action Figure as a gift! There is a special prize for collecting the five original action figures the Toy Master offered from last season. (Note: You can collect the pieces for the action figures before accepting the missions.)
