Announce Post #3423: Solstice Activities I

With Solstice starting, here's a rundown of what is happening already!

Ironbeard

Ironbeard has started making the rounds, bearing gifts for the lucky recipients. All you have to do is be online as Ironbeard will find you regardless of where you may be - in a tree, in a submarine, or in a domoth. Once you have received a gift, he will only add you back to his list the next real day. Remember you can check how you are doing on presents with PRESENTS.

Gnomes

Keep an eye out for Jolly Bundy sending his fellow gnomes out with a few more presents into the Basin of Life every once in a while. When you find one, just influence them with Charity (AB INFLUENCE BEGGING for full details) to get a present. You won't be able to track these gnomes so don't let lack of their prints and such mislead you. Remember that you can only get a present this way once an in-game day (once an hour) - so if you find a Solstice gnome and you've already had a present, share it with your friends!

Gnomes will not be found swimming, snorkeling, or diving in the seas but could be found in sea-located or related areas (the Cay, Spectre Isle, etc.). You will also not find them on far away continents like Mount Dio or Icewynd, or hard to reach places like Lirangsha, but they have been exploring the Undervault. Keep an eye out for Gaaglin and the Academy too as they have found their way there. They will also stop by cities and communes, but don't try to find them in the villages as Ironbeard has those covered.

If you are unsure whether it is worth looking for gnomes when there has not been an announcement about them arriving recently, we got you covered too. Check with either the gnome pilgrim at pilgrim camp or the gnome at the visitor's playpen in Solstice Court (both of those will become available tomorrow). If you ask either if all the gnomes returned yet, they will let you know if there's stragglers out there still!
