As part of the festive events and celebrations, the daily login rewards have been updated with some extras such as an additional Superсontainer and multiple Santa’s Gift containers.
On top of this, you'll be able to find many more presents in the game and on our official platforms during this time!
Battle Performance Bonuses
Battle performance bonuses during the festive season have become a well-loved tradition, so we're happy to bring them back. Please note: We have slightly changed the rewards from last year, and they now scale better with the ship tier.
Festive Certificates are a temporary resource that can be exchanged for in-game items in Update 12.11.
Changes to Santa's Containers
Santa’s containers have mostly stayed the same but with an improvement that we hope you'll enjoy. This year, we've updated and shortened the drop list of ships: 43 older ships have been removed and 19 new ones have been added to make it easier for you to obtain more desirable ships. With these changes, there are now exactly 150 available ships in Santa's containers. All removed ships are available in the Armory for direct purchase.
The visual appearance of the containers has been updated for the occasion.
Holidays in Santa City
We're happy to unveil our new event that will shower you with loads of festive rewards!
Holidays in Santa City includes 20 levels, with additional rewards available after finishing them. You can advance through the levels by completing daily and weekly missions, and since they are based on scoring Base XP in any battle type, you can play the game in the way you want and still claim the rewards!
The main reward of the base progression line is new Scharnhorst '43 at level 10. We wanted to make this ship easily obtainable for all types of players, be they hardcore or casual: just fight 1–3 battles per day and you'll be able to get this ship within 5 days.
You can also unlock an additional progression line using Doubloons to earn more rewards and new Stord ’43 as the final reward.
One Festive Certificate is the reward for completing each additional level for both the first and second progress lines. For this occasion, the Fjords Port has been transformed into Santa City.
Salvage for Victory
Salvage for Victory is back! The event comprises 100 stages, and you'll be able to unlock several new cruisers and legendary Kitakami consecutively by combining various resources. You can mix and match Research Points, Steel, and Coal without any limitations, as well as use Warships Premium Account to complete up to 16 stages of this event at any point!
Truly avid collectors can complete an extra 20 stages, and at Stage 100, you'll receive the exclusive Bitter Wind permanent camouflage for Kitakami and commemorative flags for all four ships.
Kitakami won't be distributed in any other way for the next 2 years in-game after the end of this event. The permanent camouflage for Kitakami will remain exclusive and only be available through this event. The other ships won't be distributed in any other way for at least a year.
Sestri Ponente Dockyard
Update 12.11 delivers a new Dockyard! Progress through the stages to earn various rewards and obtain the main reward—cruiser Michelangelo.
The construction process comprises 32 Phases, and you can advance through 27 of them by completing Dockyard combat mission groups.
You can also complete shipbuilding phases by spending 1,750 Doubloons per phase and purchasing Starter Packs: 10 shipbuilding phases in exchange for 10,000 Doubloons and five shipbuilding phases in exchange for 6,000 Doubloons.
Additionally, this iteration of the Dockyard delivers a new feature that allows you to preview Dockyard ships much like how you can preview them in the Armory.
