During the event, Albedo's story quest “Princeps Cretaceus Chapter” can be unlocked at Adventure Rank 20. It must be completed to access the The Chalk Prince and the Dragon event; Once the event ends on January 5, 2021, the quest will require Adventure Rank 40 and a Story Key to unlock. The event itself will feature four acts, each of which becomes accessible on a set date. Act I opens with the event on December 22, Act II on December 25, Act 3 on December 28 and Act IV on December 31.
The main reward attached to The Chalk Prince and the Dragon is Festive Desire, a powerful sword that is enhanced with items earned during the event. Some items are locked behind explicit acts, though Frostworn Shards and Frostworn Crystals are available as soon as you unlock the event. All activities take place in the new Dragonspine area, and area-specific powers for Festive Desire will only work there. Once the event is over, these powers will be removed. Upgrading Festive Desire will give you weapon ascension materials, so even if you don't care about area bonuses, the extra weapon upgrade materials are worth it.
