Merry Christmas, heROes! Santa needs help sharing joy and love and peace and all with everyone - people and monsters - and he needs your help! Don't kill any (normally) passive monsters - this includes the mobs of aggro monsters such as Angeling - or you'll need to do some extra help to make up for it, though.

Quest

Go to Lutie and north into Santa's house. Agree to help him and agree with his terms. Then check the board to get various missions. Harder missions count for more, but might not be worth your effort. There's also a penalty if you choose a mission and then later decide to get rid of it. Keep in mind that the "don't kill passive monster" rule applies to *all* characters on your account once you've started the quest, as well. You need to accomplish 6 easy, 4 moderate or 2 hard missions without triggering penalty.

Each penalty adds a requirement to accomplish additional missions: 2 easy or 2 moderate or 1 hard.

Naturally, some missions are easier than others, particularly depending on what you already have available and are willing to use or hunt up. For example, for the heRO on a budget, Little elves - Big problems is definitely worth a look, while Bad to the Bone should be avoided.

Once you've completed enough missions, check the board and you won't be able to get any more. Assuming this isn't because you've incurred Santa's wrath for killing passive monsters, talk to Santa again and claim your rewards! (or your scolding should you have killed passive monsters. Seriously, try to avoid doing that, despite how easy it may be to misclick)
