Additionally, with the reintroduction of Player Shops, we'll be holding a tax-free event until **February 16th** AND double Defender Pass XP over the weekend; **February 15th and 16th**. ##### Violet Marygold's Valentine Shop Etheria is like a box of chocolates—you never know what you're gonna get. One moment it could be raining loot, and the next, exploding Kobolds! Thankfully, with the aid of **Violet Marygold's** concussive cupcakes and speed-boosting chocolate strawberries, Defenders will be well-equipped to conquer any opposition that besets them this Valentine's season. ##### Event Consumables Violet Marygold can be found in the Tavern and Town Hub selling **Festival of Hearts Crates**.
