    Frostfell is active on Test!

    Tis the season to brighten our lives and those around us with gifts, good food, and warm hearths!

    Across Norrath you’re sure to find people celebrating this festive Deepice holiday, starting in your home city. There you’ll find Gh'lad Tydingz one of several celebrating Gigglegibber goblins. He’s interested in getting some Frostfell items, and for those who can travel to Vetrovia he’s got some new requests. From your home city step into the Magic Closet and find yourself immersed in the magical Frostfell Wonderland Village! This enchanting land of ice and adventure holds wonders and adventures for everyone, including a few tasks being offered by Pilip Mumbletoes.

    From there you are welcome to visit the Frostfell Workshop, where Frostfell elves have been busy preparing for the celebration, or Frostfell Wonderland's Icy Mines, where the holiday fuels used to craft all those special Frostfell gifts are obtained.

    Don't forget to log in each day and claim your extra-special Frostfell present from Santa Glug and watch for one of his helpers to make a special appearance in Freeport and Qeynos. You might just find some of the new special holiday collectibles in your stocking!

    If the new house items are as good at the Ro ones I will be a very happy camper.

    I don't know when the recipe is from, but I have a broken recipe showing when I use 'A Festive Work Bench'. For 'Peppermint Candy Crown', has the little green gremlin guy icon and can't be crafted.

    Looks like it's from 'Frostfell Outfits you Can Make XI" from mousing over it on the list.

    Quest: The Great Candy (Cane) Chase.

    What happened to that race? It now requires you to dismount. Running it at normal speed, or even with speed increase from druid's SoW it is simply impossible to finish in given time. Not to mention doing the achievement for doing it with a full minute to spare.

    I think the blue gifts are supposed to give us a temporary speed boost? They sure show some effect but my speed remains the same.
    The brown presents throw you in random directions, so I normally just avoided them. Tried using them to steer myself towards next cube but that strategy ended with even worse results than just running it while avoiding brown gifts.

    Please bring back ability to use ground mounts in that chase.

    Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

    I need a paper bag to breathe into! Let me at'em! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

    Edited to add: Sugary Ninjabread Man Santa Glug gift is super adorable!

    And if it's permissible as a temporary measure, I'll say here that I found a YouTube link to listen to Frostfell Village music as I harvest, craft and quest in there:

    Ack! I had meant to post notice of this change. Thank you for the reminder, Chikkin.

    Some other changes have been made, as a result of feedback received during the event last year:
    • The Great Candy (Cane) Chase – Frostfell Overdrive! achievement is now only awarded if the quest stages are completed in Frostfell Wonderland Village.
    • The Great Candy (Cane) Chase – Starting the race now requires you to not be on a mount, due to a bug that could happen, stopping you from being able to properly camp after the race.

    That's very odd. I can confirm the Peppermint Candy Crown has a bugged icon on Test and live but not internal servers. Why *and how* did that change without being touched since 2019!?

    I just love the winter witch "frost lantern broom", can we get a matching witch outfit ?

    iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii :D those snowflack curtains are soooooooooo coool!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Oh Joy!!! Because there hadn't been any mention of Frostfell in any of the news updates and it was missing from the 2022 Roadmap, I was starting to think they had scrapped it ... which I was pretty glum about ... I love Frostfell!! It's just so relaxing and silly-fun, at just the right time of the year, and it's in Norrath where Frostfang and Everfrost are ever Frostfelly to look at! Discovering Frostfell in, what, 2019? ... was it during the pando? Maybe; but it was the event that made me re-up my membership and start playing again from time-to-time, and now, I look forward to it every year just for the giggles and relaxed play. Thankyou dev-team for not letting us down, and bringing Frostfell to us for another year!

    Oh, Siren, you are SUCH an enabler! :)

    That unable to camp was annoying but we lost ability to be on a mount because of that? /cry!!!

    In this case are the present obstacles working properly? and what exactly does running thru blue stacks of presents do?

    Also so the achievement is now awarded if we just finish the race in those 3 minutes 45 seconds or so?

    Slippery tile is evil by the way :D
  14. Schmetterling Well-Known Member

    put some soft mattresses around the tile, on second thought a bucket of snowballs near by so you can send your guests flying of into a pool (evil laugh).

  15. Manafizzle Well-Known Member

    Is the tile evil, or is the person who put it at the zone in evil? ;)
  16. Chikkin Well-Known Member


    teeeeheee! should we pad the walls of entry room?
  17. Hartay Keeper of the Server Hamsters

    Sorry. A hamster got loose.

    Yet another fantastic event!!

    Good thing I've never did that race; I feel for the ones that do. :-/

    Also: the Decorative Rainbow Candy Stick graphic looks odd; the colors in the spiral aren't matching up properly. The Decorative Red and White and Red and Black ones are fine. :)

    EDIT: Hmm; when wearing the Snappy Green and White Robe, or the Snappy Red and Green Robe, my shoes aren't showing? :-/ Not just the recipe Sabatons, but my regular Equipment shoes...the rest of me may be toasty warm, but now I see where all those Frostbitten Toes are coming from. :-/

    A little odd thing I noticed and thought someone might want to know.

    This cloak is a different color in Frostfell Village than it is in other zones. I checked guild hall, personal house, Freeport, and Svarni and it looks purple and teal in all of those other places. It seems to be all gray in Frostfell village.

    I was able to mount up after clicking on first starting present in the great candy cane chase. It was smooth sailing after that, albeit a but nuts on a flying mount lol.

    I'm able to camp right after finishing the chase, so that works yay!

    Finished achievement while having 1 min and 7 seconds still on the clock. Was that supposed to be adjusted somewhat?

    A guildie finished and didn't get achievement and she cannot camp, she had to zone out of FF village to camp.
