Winterfest
Presentation
The event focuses on sending gifts between guildmates
The best boon of this event comes from the generators at the winterfest island. Invest in the one for baubles as soon as you log in on the first day: it is more than worth it
The random totem in the power gifts seems to be extremely rare, be warned!
Sending gifts is a very good source of soul stones, check out the Heroes of the Day in case you need a particular hero
This event rewards a whole lot of things. This is nice, but not game-changing, aside from winter skins or great luck. So keep your head cool, enjoy sharing gifts with your guildmates, appreciate the christmas mood, and maybe keep your emeralds
Resources
Baubles to decorate the tree: this rewards candies. The island generator will give you 200k baubles
Candies to purchase the basic gifts and the first levels of generators. Gifts in turn sometimes reward gingerbread cookies, with pet gifts apparently being the best ones for this purpose
Gingerbread cookies are the most valuable resource: they are used to get the best gift, upgrade the later levels of generators, and buy totems, catalysts or other great rewards. You will never get enough for a totem without paying though
Winter Skins
Do not miss this once-in-a-year opportunity to get the winter skins for your heroes
You get one random skin per skin gift. They cost 20k candies, so quests and generators will give you enough to send one gift a day. This means two gifts a day for you if you arrange an exchange. It is important to communicate with your guildmates to find someone interested
You will also get about two free skin gifts as your guild decorates the tree
Finally you can exchange 50k candies for 10k emeralds spent, so 4k emeralds per additional skin gift. There are 30 skins in the gifts at the moment
Some skins can only be bought in the shop: the new winter skins and some of those from last year
End conversion
1000 baubles → 1 hero upgrade gift box
1000 candies → 1 hero upgrade gift box
2 gingerbread cookies → 1 hero upgrade gift box

Letter to Winter Claus (before Christmas)

You can choose three gifts among those proposed. You will receive one of them, randomly, on December 31.
Notable rewards include a lesser elemental spirit summoning sphere and a golden raid ticket, that grants free players the capacity to conduct single or multiple raids, as with vip5.










Here were the results reported by players who answered my poll:
Players below vip5: 60% got a totem, 40% got a raid ticket (105 accounts). None got something else!
Players at least vip5: 51% got a totem :) (53 accounts)
Note that many players with several maxed totems got a free fragment. Even some long-time players who had maxed all totems already. I have also seen in my own guild, among players with three winterfests under their belt and a few maxed totems, that several of them got a fragment. This disproves some urban legends that Nexters was scheming against spenders. Not only that but the odds are actually generous: thank you Nexters!
Gifts
You get one free gift of every type from quests, every day, if you send a similar one to a guildmate
If your guildmate reciprocates, this means you essentially got two gifts for the cost of one, once per type and day
