Holiday Sleigh

**Holiday Sleigh Gathering Event! - Dec 2018**

*Spread cheer all over the islands!*

*Pike wants to build the Holiday Sleigh and asks Finn and the islanders to help build it to spread the Holiday Cheer. You will need to use specific items at specific tiers to level up the Sleigh (similar principle to the Grand Balloon event).*

## How to get

The Holiday Sleigh is available from December 13th 17h UTC and the event runs until December 27th 04h UTC.

You can place the base of the Sleigh in the waters around your island by dragging it in from the game's build menu (free).

## Levelling Up and Rewards

Upgrade your Sleigh by "feeding" it with specific items, **at specific tiers**, from your mills or harvesters, or collected from TradePost orders :

Board (Woodshop), Nails (Blacksmith), Velvet (Weaver and Bazaar), Holiday Paint (Trade Post and Bazaar), Seat Cushions (Island Outfitters), Sack Patches (Island Outfitters), Pike's Presents (Glassworks), Sleigh Sundries (Bazaar)

**The Sleigh requires different items at different levels :**

* Level 1 : Board, Nails
* Levels 2-3 : Velvet
* Levels 4-5 : Holiday Paint
* Levels 6-7 : Holiday Paint, Seat Cushions
* Levels 8-9 : Holiday Paint, Sack Patches
* Levels 10-11 : Pike's Presents
* Levels 12-15 : Holiday Paint, Pike's Presents
* Sleigh Sundries can be fed throughout!

*Note: There is no feed all option during Level 1, so you only need to make 8 nails or 8 boards.*

The make times and heart rewards for these items are shown below :

*Note: Time and gain with Mill Mastery 25% speed bonus are shown in brackets.*

*Note: Heart values for items may be reduced while the "Short Build Time" booster is active.*

The special booster item is available at the Bazaar :

**Important :** Share your Letter to Pike with other TradeMasters (see the Letter to Pike page to see how to do this).

Each time you supply items to your Sleigh you will receive  and  rewards.

Each time you level up your Sleigh you will receive various rewards and decorations (see below).
