Snap Shot: Holiday Ops - tips for handling decorations

 Few random tips for handling the decorations in the holiday ops.


First off...why care?

You don't have to, of course, but there are a LOT of benefits to participating - most notably if you max out your festive level, plus the large boxes, you have a 24x7 50% credit booster running. Every battle until the event ends +50% credits.

Additionally you get female crew members that you can recruit into your tanks, and you get special Holiday Ops bonus slots that you can put any Tech Tree tank you want into (one of each tier) and they can get persistent bonuses too.

Finishing off a collection gets you a special camo and a bunch of other rewards. Holiday ops really are the most rewarding time of the year in WoT.

There's a lot more, but you can read about it at the official page: Holiday Ops 2021: Event Guide (worldoftanks.com)

Large Boxes

No big surprise, the most efficient way to get all the decorations. Each large box will give you at least 1 level 5 ornament, and 1 other ornament of any tier - including, occasionally, a 2nd level 5 ornament.

If you're going to buy large boxes open those before you start crafting because you may find that you get most or all of the level 5 ornaments you need.

Snow Maidens

Don't be shy about increasing your Snow Maiden present level (using shards). When you do that their daily present gets better and you'll get higher tier ornaments.

Remember to go collect your Snow Maiden gift every day!

Crafting

As in past years you can use the Decorider to craft new ornaments from shards. If you're going to do that, and you need a LOT of ornaments you can just set it to random for the cheapest way to generage. Eventually you'll find that you're getting mostly duplicates, then you need to start getting more specific.

If you're buying large boxes, prioritize tier 4 ornaments in the decorider. Those are the ones you'll get the fewest of from boxes and rewards. If you're NOT going to buy large boxes then prioritize the tier 5 ornaments.

After you've gotten to Festive Atmosphere X you can break all the additional ornaments you get. Breaking ornaments into shards does NOT remove them from your collections book - so feel free to break them aggressively for crafting. 

Save the antiduplicator charges until the end - you may need them to get the last few ornaments if you didn't buy a lot of boxes.

GLHF!
