This Christmas event ran from 18th December 2006 until the end of the year. This year, the set task was to hunt down the fiendish Gublinch who had captured the childerkins for slavery. To save them, you had to team up with Shanty Claws, a furry drunken sailor on the small pier north-east of the Karamja Volcano. Upon arrival, he would brief you on your task. You must kill 10 Gublinch and collect the shards that they drop.

To capture the Gublinch, you needed to collect snowballs. These were found on the south facing side of the Karajama volcano. Players collected around 50 snow balls and climbed down the nearby cave entrance. To capture a gublinch, players wielded their snowballs and clicked on a nearby monster. With a few snowballs, the gublinch froze and broke into shards. Players then had to collect 10 gublinch shards by pelting them with snowballs, then return to Shanty Claws.

Players had to use their ten shards with the cages to trap ten gublinch, and then speak to Shanty to collect their reward. Both free players and members received a reindeer hat with matching red nose, whilst members received an additional gift, a wintumber tree which they can plant in their player owned houses.

Keep in mind that the Wintumber Tree is for Members only. All f2p players who have completed the task will only receive their reindeer hats. Remember, if you do lose your reindeer hat or Wintumber Tree, you can always obtain it back from Diango, free of charge.
