## Trivia

* This is the first event that is based on a season.
* Originally, the gift boxes contained fragments for Spectral Barricade Shield, Shockwave Barricade Shield and Deflector Barricade Shield III, but that was changed shortly into the event. Many players were frustrated as they considered these fragments more useful than the trigger items.
* Solstice is also held in Summer. In this season, the event is called (Summer) Solstice.
