The Spirit Of Giving is a miscellaneous item for all classes. The item tracks the number of Secret Saxton or Pile o' Gifts items that are used, and increases the rank accordingly. The Spirit Of Giving is a large grey box pinned on the player's chest, with beating heart and bubble animations.

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.

Update history

December 21, 2011 Patch

• The item was added to the game.

Bugs

• The Mann Co. Catalogue describes the item's rank as being incremented by the number of duels (from the Dueling Mini-Game), instead of the number of gifts granted.
• The green part of the screen on the model is still visible while the player is cloaked Spy.

Notes

• 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; e.g., if the server has only 10 connected players, only 10 gifts will be granted and the count will only increase by 10.

Trivia

• The item's appearance is inspired from the final scene of the Template:W story Template:W. The main character views his heart through an x-ray, and watches as it enlarges when he discovers "the true meaning of the holiday Template:W".
• The item's description references Template:W, which is the medical term for thickening and growth of the heart.
• The lowest amount of money that a player can spend on Secret Saxtons alone (not including any Secret Saxtons gained via trading) to increase the level of this item to its maximum would be $247.50 (147.5€, £185). The lowest amount of money that a player can spend on Piles O' Gifts alone (assuming that it is used on a full 24-man server every time) to increase the level of this item to its maximum would be $219.89 (164.89€, £164.89).
