The Gifting Elf is a permanent support class costing 900 Candy Canes, introduced in the Christmas Week 2 update on December 20, 2025. It generates present blueprints every 3 minutes at Level 1, which players place near campfires for teammates to open (single-use per player). Presents provide random survival items, emphasizing team support over solo play.
Ranked in C-tier by player consensus and tier lists, it is considered average for co-op but underwhelming solo due to reliance on teammates and RNG loot.
Acquisition
Purchased permanently from the Elf Shop in the lobby (near the Daily Quest slot machine) for 900 Candy Canes during the Christmas event.
Candy Canes are farmed via Santa’s Helper class drops, opening map presents, rescuing Elves, completing Ice Skating Rinks (3 laps), North Pole tree decorations, and Golden Present loot.
Level skips: 250 Robux for Level 2, 400 Robux for Level 3 (Level 2 prerequisite).
Progression
| Level | Requirements | Perk |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | None (Spawn) | Small (Red) Present blueprint every 3 minutes; place near campfire for teammates (single-use). Starter: Gift tool. |
| 2 | Gift 40 players/presents | Spawn with small present instantly. |
| 3 | Gift 90-100 players/presents | After Day 20, spawn Gold Present (every ~20 minutes). |
Progression via gifting presents to players; optimal in teams for quick unlocks.
Presents
- Red/Small: RNG loot (~20% each): 6x Revolver Ammo, 6x Rifle Ammo (reloads turrets), Cake (food/stew), Fuel Canister, Bandage (50 HP/revive).
- Gold: High-value RNG: Axe/Armor Trim Kits, Infernal Sack (20 slots, auto-cooks meat), Ice Axe (slows), Trident/Poison Spear/Obsidiron Hammer (melee), Raygun/Laser Cannon/Blowpipe/Peppermint Pelter/Snowball Cannon (infinite ammo weapons), Cultist Gem/Gem of Forest Fragment (recipes), 5x Candy Canes.
Strategies
- Team: Place blueprints near campfire for shared loot; prioritize gifting for fast levels; gold presents enable OP weapons (e.g., Laser Cannon for raids).
- Farming Levels: Co-op runs; use Santa’s Helper first for Candy Canes/Elf Scanner (20 scrap).
- Tips: Late-game (Day 20+) shines with golds; RNG-dependent; avoid solo; synergizes with Chef (cake) or Engineer (ammo).
Strengths and Weaknesses
| Strengths | Weaknesses |
|---|---|
| Infinite team supplies (ammo/food/heals/fuel) | Useless solo (team-dependent) |
| Late-game gold presents (OP weapons like Raygun/Laser) | Expensive 900 Candy Cane grind |
| Permanent post-event; co-op support | RNG loot; early-game weak |
| Fast levels in teams | Low tier (C); average/not “broken” |
Consensus: Fun gimmick for groups, not meta; “infinite potential” late but overhyped.
History
