The development team at ArenaNet announces that it will launch the annual Wintersday event for its MMO Guild Wars 2 on December 10, with a number of special events and festivities set to entertain all players for the following six-week period.

Tyria will celebrate the occasion with Tixx, the toymaker and inventor, and the developers are expecting players to return to the game to witness the season appropriate quests.

Players will also be able to use a number of new healing skills and there’s an entire new balance update arriving on December 10 in order to make the entire Guild Wars 2 experience better.

But the most attractive moment of Wintersday is the chance to create a powerful new item.

ArenaNet states in the official announcement that gamers will be able to “refine, stitch, and hammer your way to 500 to become a Grandmaster Crafter and unlock the ability to craft Ascended armor!”
