Big Time announces Christmas in July return with cosmetic crafting challenges

In Brief:

• Event Launch: Big Time (official site) kicks off its Christmas in July event next week, reviving seasonal rewards.
• Dynamic Structure: Weekly challenges and new crafting options keep player engagement high throughout the event.
• Previous Success: Last year featured a 1.2 million BIGTIME token prize pool and notable cosmetic rewards.

Christmas in July returns to Big Time

Big Time announces the return of its Christmas in July event, starting next week. Players can recover long-lost cosmetics this year, structured in waves to maintain interest and active participation.

The event emphasizes crafting. Players earn festive rewards by completing weekly challenges and climbing the leaderboard, which has historically incentivized consistent play. The studio hinted at upcoming cosmetics through color indicators, enhancing the excitement for collectors.

Last year’s event featured a prize pool of 1.2 million BIGTIME tokens, with players crafting items alongside weekly missions to rank competitively. This year’s prize pool has yet to be unveiled, with details expected as the event launches.

Crafting and cosmetics

Crafting remains central to the Christmas in July event. Players craft eligible items to earn points and vie for rewards. This year, familiar seasonal content returns, allowing both new and veteran players to access cosmetics previously unavailable.

Big Time’s gameplay includes running dungeons and generating BIGTIME tokens. The Hourglass artifact plays a crucial role, facilitating token generation while cosmetics act as both status symbols and functional tools for accessing exclusive areas.

The BIGTIME token in action

BIGTIME token operations are seamless, without prior allocations to stakeholders. Players primarily earn it through in-game drops. It serves multiple functions—from refining items to entering exclusive zones—and can be traded on the Open Loot marketplace.

Prestige Portals enhance the token’s utility, requiring specific collectible conditions for access. Once activated, players can face bosses, increasing drop rates on coveted items, making events like Christmas in July significant.

Ongoing seasonal events

Christmas in July fits into Big Time’s broader schedule of crafting competitions. Previous events like The Lucky 7 foster community interaction through competitive crafting, while the VIP Program rewards dedicated players based on their token ownership.

The event’s return solidifies Big Time’s seasonal engagement strategy. Players can look forward to the unfolding of this year’s festivities next week, where crafting will be the path to coveted holiday rewards.
