Project Gorgon doesn't celebrate Christmas, but it does observe the Human celebration of "Ri-Shin." No idea where the name comes from. Perhaps it's a head nod to the anime character in Kingdom? But according to the P:G wiki, it's the name of a druid that ended up being called the God of Plants and Trees. TREES!
The Kur Mountain tree, where the weather outside is frightful.
And "Trees" or rather "Decorating Trees" is what this celebration is all about in Project Gorgon!
In each town across the map, you'll find a tree and a quest giver. Each quest giver has 4 quests that will net items that eventually decorate that town's tree.
The Serbule Tree looks great next to Echur, a kooky monk who likes mind-altering drugs.
Once you fully decorate a tree, you can then head back and collect a present from underneath it every day.
The players like to pitch in too. There's a legendary player in the game known as "McNasty." He's taken it upon himself to top each tree every year with his tombstone as his own kind of tradition.
Good on ya, McNasty!
I've only completed 4 or 5 of the trees so far, but my very favorite tree can be found in Rahu. I love it solely because the person in charge of decorating it is a rather naïve Raksasha named Zhao who doesn't know much about the human celebration of Ri-Shin.
He's turned to a human, edgelord necromancer named Daniel MurderDark in his town for help and advice on what should adorn the tree. Mr. MurderDark told Zhao that it'd be "awesome" to have a skull for a star and to wrap it in severed ears and lemons. I love Daniel for that . . .
Daniel and McNasty share similar goals.
It's definitely been a fun distraction from the daily grind. Also, any NPC "friend" you've made in game through gifting and favor quests will also give you a prize when you talk to them. My bags have been overflowing with junk they've been handing me. I've gotten everything from Dirt to epic quality rings. Friendship during Ri-Shin is a beautiful thing!
One cool thing I discovered during the celebration of Ri-Shin is a skill called "Gadgeteering." Say you're a player and you want to give random gifts to other players . . . you could sit somewhere and hand them out, but through Gadgeteering you can create your own gift box of sorts and place it under the tree for others to discover!
Candy Canes for everyone! Um, or at least the first 10 to click the box . . .
I'm not very high up in the skill yet, but I took the opportunity to clear out my bags of 10 Mint Candy Canes. :)
Ri-Shin should only be around another week or so and then the decorations will be packed away. Hope you all have had the holiday spirit this year and had a lot of fun in whatever you're doing.
Happy Dueling!
