NOTE: This page is about the retired version of the quest. See New Hidden Presents for the current version.


  • 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.

Walk Through

  1. Travel to 12 locations scattered throughout Dereth to find 12 hidden Gift Boxes.
  2. Use each 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.

Lore & Dialog

Town Crier tells you, "The holiday season is a time for presents and giant well wrapped boxes containing presents."

Town Crier tells you, "Is winter here yet? I mean, people are giving each other presents, but there's no snow yet... Is it because of the ley lines?"

Town Crier tells you, "A close family friend of mine discovered some giant gift on his way to visit me for the holiday season. I wonder if there are more gifts around Dereth?"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "The only giant gift box I want would be full of ale!"

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I found a nicely packaged little gift box the other day. I was tempted to open it, but I resisted the temptation. The last time I opened up a strange gift that some stranger had left for me, I ended up on this godforsaken world."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "No, wait, that's how I ended up naked and penniless in Canfield with a big bruise on my forehead. I ended up here because I drunkenly stumbled into a portal, thinking it was a clever new kind of outhouse."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "It's a time for giving and I hear someone has left giant gift boxes around Dereth. Mine was full of ale."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Of course it only lasted me a day."
