Axie Infinity has announced the launch of The Frosty Fiesta, bringing increased AXS rewards for eligible players to earn for a limited time.

What Is The Frosty Fiesta in Axie Infinity?

The Frosty Fiesta is a holiday campaign that brings a snowy makeover to App.axie while doubling weekly rewards for the Premier Bounty Board (PBB) from December 16th to December 29th. This means that for 2 weeks, there is a total of 60k+ $AXS tokens up for grabs. The amount of Fortune Slips needed to access the Premier Bounty Board has even been reduced from 200 to 100, making it easier for more players to dive right in and attempt to make the most of this special Christmas event.

During this limited time period, all 3 PBB weekly reward pools have been doubled. This means that instead of there being 11,500 $AXS for the main PBB Pool, there is now 23,000 $AXS up for grabs, or a total of 46,000 $AXS tokens over the course of 2 weeks. As of writing, that’s a total of about $340k worth of tokens, or around $170k per week.

The weekly rewards for the PBB Master Quest are now 2000 $AXS (~$14.8k), or 4000 $AXS (~$29.5k) for the whole event. As a result, you now get to earn 2 $AXS for each master quest that you complete. That’s almost $15 per master quest!

Weekly PBB Leaderboard Rewards are actually more than doubled, as they now offer 3100 instead of 1500 $AXS tokens, for a total of 6200 $AXS over the 2-week period. You need to rank in the top 400 to qualify for leaderboard rewards. Previously, you needed to be in the top 300. Now, if you rank between 301st and 400th place, you will receive 1 $AXS token. All of the other positions now receive double the usual amount, meaning the winner is now rewarded with 200 $AXS tokens (~$1480) instead of 100. Here is how much each spot on the leaderboard rewards you now during this special event:

  • 1st place: 200 $AXS
  • 2nd place: 160 $AXS
  • 3rd place: 120 $AXS
  • 4th – 5th place: 80 $AXS per spot
  • 6th – 10th place: 48 $AXS per spot 
  • 11th – 20th place: 30 $AXS per spot
  • 21st – 40th place: 16 $AXS per spot 
  • 41st – 70th place: 10 $AXS per spot
  • 71st – 130th place: 8 $AXS per position 
  • 131st – 200th place: 6 $AXS per position 
  • 201st – 250th place: 4 $AXS per position 
  • 251st – 300th place: 2 $AXS per position
  • 301st – 400th place: 1 $AXS per position

Alongside doubled reward pools, Sky Mavis has also introduced a variety of changes to the Premier Bounty Board to deliver a better blockchain gaming experience while adding a new quest to the Standard Bounty Board that makes it easier to unlock PBB. A lot of quests have been adjusted to offer a higher number of points, while some feeding tasks have been removed. Check out the full changelog in the official announcement for more details.

How to Join The Frosty Fiesta Axie Event

To participate in this holiday event, you need to unlock the Premier Bounty Board. This can be done by claiming a Premier Ticket or by redeeming Fortune Slips, of which you now need 100 instead of 200.

The Premier Ticket can be earned by collecting 1000 Standard Bounty Points. While this requirement hasn’t changed, what is now different is that the team has added in a new bounty for Axie Infinity players to complete in order to make it easier to reach the required number of points. This new quest rewards you with 25 points for feeding any of your axies with coco.

If you want to go for 100 Fortune Slips instead, then you need to be a holder of collectible axies praying to Atia in the Atia Shrine. The image below shows you how much each type rewards you with daily Fortune Slips depending on the number of collectible parts. Check out this official page to find out everything you need to know about earning Fortune Slips.

The event includes an anti-juggling/shuffling rule for App.axie only, that prohibits players from using transferred axies to earn points until the PBB is reset. Sold axies however are eligible, but offers are said to not count.

Earlier this month, Sky Mavis launched the Axie Adoption Center, making it possible for new players to earn axies through gameplay for free.
