The Holiday Festivities Begin!

Update 12.11 comes with a boost for your daily login rewards—it will deliver additional awesome prizes! To celebrate the upcoming holidays, we’ve added more Supercontainers and Santa’s Gift containers to the login rewards!

No Captains, we haven’t forgotten about the Battle Performance Bonuses. We’ve made some slight changes compared to last year, aimed at creating a better scale for rewards per ship tier. You can earn Coal from Tiers V–VII; Steel from Tiers VIII and IX; and Festive Certificates for Tier X, which can be exchanged for Santa’s containers. Battle Performance Bonuses for superships will reward you with 200 Steel this year.

Festive Certificates are a temporary resource returning in Update 12.11, and you’ll be able to exchange these for festive rewards! For more info, please refer to this Page.

Additionally, we’re bringing the holiday season back to the Fjords Port—Santa City is taking over!

Holidays in Santa City

{getButton} $text={More Details Here} $icon={link} $color={blue}

During Update 12.11, we’re replacing the traditional Battle Pass with a new event geared toward celebrating the holidays! The Holidays in Santa City event comprises 20 stages with easy progression as you collect Points by completing daily and weekly combat missions. The main free reward is  VII Scharnhorst '43 Ship Page Image. We’ll also be introducing a new festive Commander for this event!

You can also unlock the paid progression line version to earn additional Festive Certificates, two new historical Commanders, Coal, and  VII Stord '43 Ship Page Image as the final reward.

Progress through the event

The prize draw pool will be shared between both Public Test rounds. 

We're running a prize draw of Festive Certificates for players who earn at least 1,000 Base XP in a single Random or Asymmetric Battle and reach certain stages of the Holiday in Santa City event.

Reaching the 10th and 20th stages will grant players the 1st and the 2nd tickets for the draw, respectively.

Item	Distribution method	Number of Distributed Items
5x Santa Certificate	Prize draw	10/realm
3x Santa Certificate	Prize draw	10/realm
1x Santa Certificate	Prize draw	30/realm

Rewards will be distributed after the release of Update 12.11.

Changes to Santa’s Gifts

{getButton} $text={More Details Here} $icon={link} $color={blue}

Don’t panic! Santa’s Gifts will mostly stay the same but with an improvement that we’re excited to share. We have an updated and shortened drop list! Last year’s containers had a ship list featuring a total of 174 ships. This year, we’ve removed 43 older ships and added 19 new ones to make it easier for you to obtain more of the ships you desire! All the removed ships are available in the Armory for direct purchase.

You can find the full list of added/removed ships on this Page. All other aspects of Santa’s Gift containers, such as drop rates for each category, will remain the same as last year.

Sestri Ponente Dockyard

Italian  IX Michelangelo is the main reward for completing all stages!

A new Dockyard is coming to World of Warships in Update 12.11. The construction process comprises 32 phases, 27 of which can be completed through missions. At least five phases will need to be purchased with Doubloons to finish building  IX Michelangelo and add her to your Port. Starter Packs of five and 10 phases will be available to buy for  6,000 and  10,000 Doubloons, or you can purchase individual phases for  1,750 Doubloons each.

The main reward for completing all stages is  IX Michelangelo Ship Page Image

Dockyard missions can be completed throughout Updates 12.11 and 13.0, as well as during the first 2 weeks of Update 13.1. The Dockyard itself will remain in the Port until the release of Update 13.2. 

Dockyard Combat Mission

Combat Missions - Round 2
Complete 32 shipbuilding phases at the Dockyard. (At least five of them must be progressed through by completing Dockyard combat missions.) Reward on the Live Server: 1,000 Community Tokens.
The combat mission may be completed during Public Test 12.11.

Japanese Battleships Leave Early Access

Yumihari, Adatara, and Bungo will become researchable for all players.

Update 12.11 marks the end of Early Access to the new Japanese battleships —   VIII Yumihari Ship Page,   IX Adatara Ship Page and   X Bungo Ship Page. With the release of the update, they will become researchable ships for all players in the respective Tech Tree branch.

The new battleships have large-calibre main battery guns with a long firing range and good accuracy. One of their main features is High-Precision Spotter-Spotting Aircraft with high-precision optics—a new consumable that increases not only your main battery guns' range but also their accuracy.

The ships also have good concealment and average speed. Among the disadvantages of these battleships are their small HP pools, mediocre armor, and weak AA defences.

All players will be able to try these ships during the upcoming Public Test.

Asymmetric Battles

Participate playing Tier VI–X ships and superships of all types!

In Update 12.11, you can continue participating in Asymmetric Battles. For this iteration, battles are held in a 5 vs. 12 format and feature Tier VI–X ships, including superships. Players can select any ship type, while the bot team won’t have access to submarines. In player teams, the maximum tier difference between ships is limited to one, while ships on the bot team will always be at least one or two tiers lower than players’ ships.

Earn Base XP in a Single Battle

Throughout the duration of the Update 12.11 Public Test, aim to earn as much Base XP as possible in a single Random or Asymmetric Battle. The 20 best players will receive a container with a Premium Tier V, VI, or VII ship.

The prize pool will be shared between both Public Test rounds. Prizes will be distributed after the release of Update 12.11.

Item	Awarded To	Number of Distributed Items
Premium Ship VII container	1st–5th Place	5/realm
Premium Ship VI container	6th–10th Place	5/realm
Premium Ship V container	11th–20th Place	10/realm
