{{Quote|source=[[Game updates/2020-12-11]]|icon=Great Ri-Shin Hat|
The holidays are upon us! While [[Alharth]] doesn't celebrate Christmas, it does celebrate Ri-Shin Day, and New Years' Day. Townsfolk who are your '''{{favor|Friends}}''' will offer you gifts when you speak with them. (Make sure to have your favorite combat skills active in case they give you a piece of randomly-generated gear!)
There's also a Ri-Shin festival waiting to happen in each city and township in the land, but they will need your help getting their trees assembled. Look for townsfolk in festive red Ri-Shin hats to get started.
This year, there's also a new way for the community to work together. This is an experiment -- we've never tried anything like this before. You'll receive an introductory quest for this part of the event after you've assembled a few Ri-Shin trees. (If you're a Druid, you'll be briefed immediately upon login.)}}
The [[Winter Holiday]] of [[Ri-Shin]] celebrates the victory of the god of plants and trees over [[Vol-Mu]], a former god of winter. Although the holiday was popularized by humans on [[Alharth]], most other races enthusiastically join the festive spirt of the season as well. The holiday season lasts from the start of [[Ri-Shin]] through the New Year's celebration. The 2020 event began on December 11th and ended January 22nd.
=== Winter Holiday Gift ===
For more information on [[Winter Holiday]] gifts, given out by NPCs each year between Ri-Shin and New Years' Day, visit the [[Ri-Shin Holiday Gifts]] page.
== Shrine of Ri-Shin ==
Found west of the [[Eltibule]] portal in the [[Kur Mountains]], the '''Shrine of Ri-Shin''' is an anchor of the god of plants and trees. Maintained primarily by [[Snowleaf]] and the Druids of [[Alharth]], the shrine offers rewards to those who seek the bounty of [[Ri-Shin]].
The blessing of [[Ri-Shin]] can be received by travelers standing in the shrine that speak words of praise in ''Nearby ''chat, '''Praise Ri-Shin, guardian of the shrine!'''
===== Unlocking the Shrine =====
While [[Druid]]s automatically unlock a [[Event:_Shrine_of_Ri-Shin|quest]] allowing them to donate items to the shrine through [[Snowleaf]], adventurers pledged to other gods, or none at all, must prove themselves a friend of [[Ri-Shin]]. Not-Druids must decorate Ri-Shin trees, which raises a hidden favor value with [[Ri-Shin]]. Completely decorating the trees in [[Serbule Hills]], [[Serbule]], [[Eltibule]], and [[Sun Vale]] is enough to demonstrate to [[Ri-Shin]] your dedication to the holiday spirit, however mostly completing quests at more than four trees can also work.
===== Shrine Tasks =====
Each task given by [[Snowleaf]] requires a quantity of items sacred to [[Ri-Shin]] to be gathered and turned in. [[Snowleaf]] calculates the value of donations to the shrine using a cumulative point system.
* The first time 99 points is reached, the sidebar ability {{Ability icon|Summon a Radish|1}}[[Cosmetic Pet|Summon a Radish]] will be awarded.
* Every 99 points earned after learning the ability rewards a {{Item|Ri-Shin Token}}.
* Points are cumulative. If 40 1-point items are turned in just before the end of a task, only 59 items are required during a later task to earn a {{Item|Ri-Shin Token}}.

== Tree Decorating ==
Ten undecorated Ri-Shin trees can be discovered across [[Alharth]], usually in areas populated by friendly NPCs. An NPC near each tree, usually wearing a red Ri-Shin hat, will automatically give out a quest associated with the decorating of their tree. Adventurers must continue to speak to the NPC, accepting additional quests from their '''Do Favor''' menu to actually complete the tree.
Once a tree is fully decorated, a present will appear under it. For the rest of the event, a new present will appear under each completed tree. The respawn time for a present is sixteen hours.
