Gnomekindle now has it's own permanent area on New Korelia. Gnomekindle Town has begun being rebuilt there and many of the familiar NPC's from previous years have moved there.
Added a new teleport pad that will take players close to Gnomekindle Town on New Korelia.
Many of the quests from previous year's Gnomekindle celebrations have been updated. Some of them are repeatable now but were not before. Repeatable quests are as follows:
Gnomekindle Tree Sparklies
Gnomekindle Tree Unbreakable Stone Ornaments
Hermey The Misfit Gnome
How Gnomekindle Came To Be (Lore Quest)
It's a Frightening World (for anyone with adventurer level 20 and up)
The Abominable Snow Beast (for anyone with adventurer level 20 and up)
Jolly Old Nicholas's destination quests
Metal Decorations on Every Gnomekindle Tree
More Sweet Treats for Gnomekindle (for bipeds only)
Natural Ornaments for a Gnomekindle Tree
Return for More Dragon Treats (for dragons only)
Traditions of Gnomekindle (Lore Quest)
Many of the repeatable quests will give players a special token at the end of it. This token (called "Vote For...) will be counted after the Gnomekindle event is removed on each shard and a special surprise will appear at the next Gnomekindle event. Players should hold onto the stack of items that they want to have counted in the voting, and all others can be deleted.
Lair Murals for Gnomekindle now properly require a pattern to complete.
New structures for players to build have been added. Two new house designs were added, one with a snow covered roof and another with twinkling lights added. A skating pond has also been added as well as a series of ice walls for players to make their plots all "wintry".

Stone Flooring Fancy Squares in 20x40 and 30x30 should no longer be the Fishbone pattern - it now has the correct texture.

Cotton Tapestries/Bolts were reversed (for skill and XP) on the Basic Guild Hall and have been corrected.
Quest[]
Quest "Learn to Make Dire Wolf Hide Grips" now properly gives you the Expert Animal Hide Processing formula instead of Journeyman and also makes no further mention of Maple Hide Tannin.
Quest "Learn to Make Dire Wolf Hide Grips" now allows you to have completed either of the "Hunting the Direst Wolves" quests (as a Ranger or Non-Ranger).
Quest "The Forest Skulk Threat II", the hidden step to loot the Odd Artifact will now become visible when you slay the Elder.
Made some steps in the quest Gaileach: The Myloc Queen (Part 2) into visible steps so players will have a better idea of what is needed in each step while doing the quest.
Tradeskill[]
Antidote formulas are now priced correctly.

Added a Cloth Factory near Reed Lake.

Special Notes[]
Many of the Gnomekindle related quests have been updated for this patch. Existing instances for all quests with the keyword Quest_Event_Winter should be deleted so that players will have to start them over again.
Many instances of items have also been updated. Coin values changed, descriptions changed, bulkiness changed, etc. As I'm unsure at this time what updates and what doesn't when a delta is applied, I'm mentioning it here in case players experience problems.
Anarie has had her items removed from her for now to prevent another issue like we had today. Now even if players are accidentally given tokens, they won't have any way of spending them. Also note that Anarie has been moved into the FZ on the live shards (or should have been). Hopefully this won't prevent her from being updated in the future.
