— In-game description
A Birthday Present is a type of present that is awarded to each character every 12 months (from 12 to 84 months), counting from the day of creation. It appears in inventory the first time that character enters the game after reaching the milestone. A Birthday Present acquired from a Xunlai Gift-Giver is called a Birthday Surprise Box. The main difference between Presents and Surprise Boxes is Surprise Boxes cannot be traded or sold, they will not go into a trade window.
Acquisition
- Birthday Present: automatically every 12 months from 12 to 84 months.
- Birthday Surprise Box: from a Xunlai Gift-Giver in exchange for a Birthday Present Voucher.
Contents
When opened, the character will get a miniature or tonic randomly chosen from the table below, depending on the age of the present.
First birthday
Second birthday
Third birthday
Fourth birthday
Fifth birthday
Sixth birthday
Seventh birthday
The seventh year present has a chance to drop Purple, Gold or Green miniatures from any of the first five years of presents (first row) and several previously exclusive minis from other sources (second row).
Notes
- If the character's inventory is full then the Birthday Present will appear the next time the character zones into a new outpost or district with at least one empty slot.
- Excluding their acquisition methods and descriptions, the only difference is that Birthday Surprise Boxes cannot be traded.

Anomaly.Unlike other Birthday Presents, seventh year Birthday Presents are stackable. This is also true for Seventh Birthday Surprise Boxes. Anomaly.If you try to open a 7th Birthday Present while in a competitive outpost, you will get the error message: "This item cannot be used in competitive missions".
Bug.A stack of two or more Birthday Presents or Surprise Boxes appears singular in its description, e.g. 2 Seventh Birthday Surprise Box. Bug.Surprise Boxes do not have the usual "This item can not be traded or sold" text in their description even though they can not be traded.Trivia
- Except for the color, these five prizes use the same inventory icon: Factions Collector's Edition Present, Nightfall Collector's Edition Present, Winter Gift, and Festival Prize.
- Originally, John Stumme stated only that "there are some [seventh year] minis that are not repeats from the presents of previous years - they're just rare."[1] Stephane Lo Presti later confirmed the exact contents of the seventh year Birthday Presents.[2]
