Battle Performance Bonuses

As tradition has it in our game for the past few years, you will be able to collect your battle performance bonuses by reaching Base XP thresholds in battle aboard your different ships. There are some slight changes from last year to better scale rewards per ship Tier, but with the goal of keeping the overall rewards at the same level: 

Players will continue to earn  Coal from ❆Snowflakes in Tier V-VII ships: 

⚓Tier V ships will reward  700 Coal 
⚓Tier VI ships will reward  750 Coal 
⚓Tier VII ships will reward  800 Coal 

Tiers VIII and IX ships will reward  Steel.

 

⚓Tier VIII ships will reward  70 Steel. 
⚓Tier IX ships will reward  80 Steel. 

As last year, 

⚓Tier X ships will reward a  Santa Certificate each, exchangeable for Santa’s Gifts. 

⚓Superships will reward  200 Steel this year instead of  Research Points. 

Don't forget, players with many ships in Port can collect multiple combat performance bonuses when earning enough base XP in battle, as in the previous Anniversary event.

Rewards for Certificates

A  Santa Certificate is a temporary resource that can be exchanged in Update 12.11 for:

⚓1x Santa's Gift Container for 1x  Santa Certificate.

⚓1x Santa's Big Gift Container for 3x  Santa Certificates.

⚓1x Santa's Mega Gift Container for 5x  Santa Certificates.

⚓1x Flags Premium Container for 20x  Santa Certificates (limit: 3).

⚓  375,000 Credits for 1x  Santa Certificate.

Santa City is Back!

To commemorate the holiday season, the Fjords port will once again be bedecked in holiday decorations and turn into Santa City!

Santa City

Holidays in Santa City 

During the last Updates, you were able to set sail on the Voyage to the North Pole to get a head start on the holiday festivities, earning prizes such as Black Friday 2023 containers and  VIII D Pozharsky as a final reward for free. With the release of Update 12.11, your journey will lead you to our festive port, Santa City, filled with opportunities for yet more prizes.

For the occasion of our New Year Update, this event will be taking the place of the Battle Pass. Holidays in Santa City will contain 20 stages, with post-progression available. We wanted to make it easier for our players to reach the main reward in this activity - the new  VII Scharnhorst '43 at stage 10.

Compared to last year's Dockyard, it will be easier for players to reach this free premium ship. Since the missions for this event are based on scoring Base XP, this allows you to play the game in the way you want and still allows the majority of players to claim this reward. Play 2-3 battles per day and you will be able to get this ship within 5-6 days!

Aside from  VII Scharnhorst '43, you can earn rewards such as days of WoWs Premium account, a festive commander with unique voice-over, New Year permanent camouflages for Tier VIII and IX ships, Merry Christmas and Flickering Sparkles commemorative flags, Coal and Steel, and a total of 23 Santa’s Gift containers of all sizes, with 3 Santa's Mega Gift containers being the final prize. These rewards should provide you with interesting resources and the chance to get additional premium ships from our Santa's Gift containers!

Additionally, players can unlock the paid progression line for Doubloons that will earn additional Santa Certificates, two new historical commanders, the North Cape commemorative flag, more New Year permanent camouflages, Coal, and the new  VII Stord '43 as the final reward. 

For those of you who want to get the most out of this period of the year, we decided to provide you with Santa Certificates as post-progression rewards for both free & paid part of the event.

Both daily and weekly missions will be available for players to earn points and progress through stages.

Missions

All missions can be completed over any number of battles. 

There will be three levels of daily missions to complete: 

• Simple: Earn 250 base XP in any battle type to receive 10 points.
• Moderate: Earn 1,500 base XP in any battle type to receive 10 points.
• Difficult: Earn 2,000 base XP in any battle type to receive 1 point. May be completed 5 times per day. 

There will be one weekly mission: 

• Earn 2,000 base XP in any battle type to receive 2 points. May be completed 10 times per week. 

In total, you will be able to earn 175 points from daily missions and 20 points from the weekly mission each week. The event will last for 5 weeks.

25 more points can be earned in special missions & activities throughout the Update. 

In total, 1,000 points will be available to earn, and you need only 500 points to obtain all main rewards.

Changes to Santa’s Gift Containers

Don’t panic! Santa’s Gift containers will remain mostly unchanged, but with an improvement that we hope you will be excited about – an updated, shortened ship drop list. Last year's containers had a ship list featuring 174 ships in total - this time, instead of just adding the new ships released over the last year, we have also removed over 40 older ships to make it easier for you to obtain your desired ships.

A total of 43 older ships have been removed from the drop list - all of which are available for direct purchase in the Armory. In their stead, 19 newer additions to the game have been added. These include some sought-after prizes such as  X Brisbane,  IX Jäger,  VIII Colossus,  VIII Almirante, and  VII W. Virginia '44.

See the tables below for a full list of changes:
