I created a playlist for both parts of this year's christmas event:

As a follow up, for completing part 2 we didn't get boss cards... we got the item the boss drops!!

 

Battle Choker (+7 Atk) if you picked Atlas

Sorcery Ring (3-5 MP regen after battles) if you picked Pazuzu

Gold Rosary (10% chance to survive with 1 HP if hit with fatal damage) if you picked Belial

 

 

Check your mail then check the Concierge (same place you do the lottery/trade for genkidamas) for your reward!

Just finished part 1 of this year's event, it's pretty simple!
 
1.) Meet Sterling/Santa in front of Glenn's, Gatara's, Juretto's, Azlan's or Orufea's inn.
2.) Use public chat to say メリークリスマス
 
メ: me
リ: ri
ー: - (American keyboard)
ク: ku
リ: ri
ス: su
マ: ma
ス: su
 
3.) Answer "yes" and get warped to the event area.
4.) Talk to Sterling again and accept the quest.
5.) Use the teleporter at E7
6.) Enter the huge door and defeat the bosses. They'll try to put you to sleep, let you dance, make you blind and use charme, so they can be a little annoying. Just kill the weak ones first to avoid some of that trouble.
7.) You will receive 3 kinds of items: ribbons, bells, and socks - you need 3 each, so repeat the boss fight until you have enough.
8.) Examine the christmas tree and answer "yes".
9.) Enjoy the cutscene and get your rewards:
- 1 random accessory (I received a Sorcery Ring)
- 1 "スノーマジック" gesture
 
The accessory is stored in a giftbox. Select it in your inventory to open it and receive the actual reward. I believe you can receive one of the rewards from last year's part 2.

For replaying you'll get a gift containing 3 lottery tickets.

Very good guide indeed! Please also post the second part of the Christmas quest if you have some free time.

 

Thanks a lot!!

what is the recommended level for this quest? i'm still lv37

As you can see here from the boss information http://ドラクエ10.jp/dq10_boss_qs016.html the number of monsters is scaled to you're parties average level.So you should do OK.

The second part of the event this year features Christmas themed versions of Atlas, Bazuzu and Belial. You'll be auto-matched with other players if not in a party.

 

You get to pick from:

Holly Atlas: Even weaker than Puchi Atlas (1 star)

Bazuzu Noel: A bit stronger than than Puchi Bazuzu and has strong magic like Kaboomle and Kaswooshle (2 stars)

Carol Belial: Approximately equal in strength to regular Belial (3 stars)

Evil Spirits: All of the above but at their regular strength levels (4 stars).

Note: This is actually different than the normal Spirits fight. Carol Belial is free to move first, then Holy Atlas, then Bazuzu Noel.

 

The stars are traded for new Christmas themed equipment and house decorations.

 

If you're looking for an insanely quick way to farm the items just take a full party of Battle Masters and mow Atlas down. Don't buff just attack.

 

 

After defeating 1 boss you've cleared the quest. Which gives you the same reward as the first one excluding the gesture... Oh well, 2 free random accessories this year is better than 1 we picked last year... I guess.
