Santa's Grotto is a Treasure Hunter promotion that was first introduced on 25 December 2021.[1]

Mechanics[edit | edit source]

Players were given the option to select between two sets of presents, with both the rarity and multiplier being represented by the colour (white, yellow, orange, red, or purple) and number of presents (one, two, or three) in each set. Upon filling the Festive Bonus bar at the top of the interface by using 12 keys, players are given three bonus options from which they can choose. The promotion began with the meter filled to 11 of 12 for all players, awarding the first bonus after opening only one present.

Each key used during the promotion also rewards 100 Christmas wrapping paper.

The chance for a present of a specific rarity to appear when the guaranteed rarity modifier isn't active is the following:

Number of
sets of presents
White Yellow Orange Red Purple
One
(Multiplier modifier)
45% 30% 17% 6% 2%
Two
(No modifier)
77.29% 63.21% 39.62% 14.83% 5.03%

When no modifiers are active, the chance to receive each regular multiplier (x1 to x3; indicated by the number of presents) depends on the gem rarity of the prize and is as follows:

Multiplier White Yellow Orange Red Purple
x1 10% 20% 30% 40% 50%
x2 50% 45% 40% 35% 30%
x3 40% 35% 30% 25% 20%

The three available bonuses from filling the Festive Bonus bar are the following:

Grotto Modifier: Guaranteed rarity[edit | edit source]

Selecting this modifier guarantees a minimum rarity for a certain number of presents.

Chance Min. rarity Modifier
50% Yellow Yellow rarity for next 8 presents
34% Orange Orange rarity for next 6 presents
12% Red Red rarity for next 4 presents
4% Purple Purple rarity for next 2 presents

Grotto Modifier: Multiplier[edit | edit source]

Selecting this modifier guarantees a multiplier for a certain number of presents. It also replaces the usual two sets of presents with only one for its duration.

Chance Modifier
60% x4 multiplier for next 5 presents
40% x5 multiplier for next 5 presents

Reward Item[edit | edit source]

See the Festive Bonus section for the prizes and chances.

Prizes[edit | edit source]

The following prizes and chances apply from 23 December 2022 to 4 January 2023. The rarity of each prize is for its overall rarity during the promotion, and not for its rarity inside the corresponding category table. The rarities omit any effects from the guaranteed rarities, multipliers, and modifiers.

The probabilities listed in the in-game interface are not accurate. Unlike other promotions, it is not the category that is rolled first and then an item from that category based on its weight within that category. In this promotion, the gem rarity of the prize is rolled first (see the Mechanics section), then the category is rolled, and then an item from that category is chosen based on the item's weight and the sum of the weight of all the prizes of the same gem rarity in the category. For example, a purple prize will be rolled, making a set of purple presents appear on the interface. When opened, it will roll for a category, such as Lamps. Since the prize has already been determined to be purple, the only purple prize in the Lamps category, the giant prismatic lamp, will be chosen. The probabilities listed on this page have been calculated using this method and should be accurate.

On every key used[edit | edit source]

Using a key will reward one of the prizes in the tables below in addition to 100 Christmas wrapping paper.
