Sins of the Fathers Guide (2008 - 2009)

  • This is a Seasonal Quest which can only be done once per year, normally during one week each December.
  • The rewards from this quest vary by level:
    • For level 36 or lower, running this quest results in XP sufficient for one full level for every Gift Box you use.
    • For levels 37-49, running this quest results in 1.5 million experience for every Gift Box you use.
    • For higher level characters your reward for using the Boxes is one of the random rewards (see Item Rewards below). Grand Casino Keys seem to be the rarest, and Colosseum Coins the most common.
  • For completing all 12 Boxes you are additionally rewarded with a Polar Ursuin Lair containing a Pet Polar Ursuin Cub.
  1. Travel to 12 locations scattered throughout Dereth to find 12 hidden Gift Boxes.
  2. Use each Gift Box for a special reward (experience or one of five trophy rewards listed below) and the title Gifted.
  3. Once you've used all 12 Boxes you will be rewarded with a Polar Ursuin Lair that summons the Pet Polar Ursuin Cub and the second title Seasonal Seeker.

Note: A tremendous effort was put forth by all servers to find the twelve locations. See the many, many locations searched on the Talk Page.
