The Spirit Of Giving is a miscellaneous item for all classes. It appears as a grey box-like machine attached to each class's chest. The machine has a green colored screen featuring a beating heart and bubbles.

This item tracks the number of Secret Saxton or Pile o' Gifts items that are used by the player. Each of these used will increase the rank displayed.


Ranks

The current rank title forms the prefix of the item name; e.g. a Spirit Of Giving with three gifts given will appear as "The Competent Contributor's Spirit Of Giving". As the rank increases, the 'heart' inside the box also increases in size. Consequently, the heart is not visible if no gifts have been made.

Although the Pile o' Gifts is capable of granting 23 gifts to players in the server in a single use, the counter will only increase to the amount of gifts distributed. As such, if the server has only 10 connected players, only 10 gifts will be granted and the count will only increase by 10.
