Around March 17, events related to St. Patrick’s Day take place every year. Little garden gnomes in green clothing wave from the advertising banners of the MMO developers. However, as various surveys annually show that very few know why we celebrate Ascension, we would like to report not only on what you can experience in World of Tanks this weekend – but also why!
When the Welshman Patrick Maewyn worked as a slave on Irish farms for six years, he would have never imagined that his name would still be floating around in our time. The son of a Roman-British army officer was sold to slave traders as a child, which dramatically changed his life. He found comfort in his faith in God – who visited him repeatedly and told him that he would escape on a ship. Driven by this idea, he fled across Britain to France, where he joined a monastery and was educated – and ultimately even became a bishop!
God visited him once again in his dreams and so he returned to Ireland and evangelized the pagan population. However, many more legends surround St. Patrick. For example, he is said to have freed Ireland from deadly snakes by driving them into the sea and drowning them.
Since then, St. Patrick’s Day has been celebrated internationally – in green and with lots of alcohol. However, to complete the holiday missions in World of Tanks, you should be sober!
The task “Let’s Celebrate!” can be completed once with a tier VIII tank in a random or team battle to earn 350,000 Credits. However, you must have won 25 battles and be among the top ten players in terms of base experience. The mission “Go All Out!” can be completed as often as you want in random and team battles, and you will receive 50,000 Credits each time. To do this, you must destroy at least two enemy tier VIII tanks during a battle and survive the fight.
Of course, there are also bonus XP this weekend! Grab a tank of tier IV or higher and earn the Warrior Medal. For each battle with a reward, you will receive 20% more experience points!
May the luck of the Irish be with you!
