This page relates to a quest, mob, event, or item involved in the annual Snowflake Festival (December to January) |
Archives: 2015 • 2016 • 2017 • 2018 • 2020 • 2021 • 2022 • 2023
In 2023 the Snowflake Festival started December 7th with patch 7.4.0.2992 and ended on January 14th with patch 7.4.0.2993. It was followed by the Festival of Fire.
2020: introduced Snowflake Festival Clock
Zachariel was a Great Mage of the Eye of Wisdom from the time 400 years ago when the Eye of Wisdom was still residing on the Kolydian continent. He was well known because of his benevolent deeds. In the midst of a harsh winter he would provide the needy with supplies.
Once the people of the Eye of Wisdom had come to Candara, they decided to keep this habit in order to foster a peaceful relationship with the local people. When the season of heavy snow had come they would, just as Zachariel had done, wear a red robe and provide the local people with supplies. This gesture helped many endure the long winters and also built trust between the people and the Eye of Wisdom. Soon we were doing this every winter and it became a custom and was named the Snowflake Festival.
After the Phirius Workshops had been set up, they meant to take advantage of this custom and decided to make some modifications to the red robe and thereafter let their people wear these robes while delivering presents to little children. Their actions won many praises from the people and also allowed them to make more money.
The Phirius Workshops taking a fancy to this custom would make the Snowflake Festival an even bigger event in the years to come. Each year more and more people took part in these activities creating this wonderful and exciting atmosphere that we can experience during the winter season nowadays.
During this time of year every mob in the game (so long as it is green or better to you) has a chance to drop Unknown Gifts. Take these to Kolu Max or Koli Max to exchange them for Snowflake Tree ornaments! See Snowflake Tree Decoration.
Lost Gifts are dropped by Bad Jingle Brothers in Howling Mountains, Ystra Highlands, Silverspring and Aslan Valley. Beware! While Bad Jingle Brothers are only level 5 in Howling Mountains, they are level 30 in Ystra Highlands!
The Bad Jingle Brothers will always be in the same spot, so once you find them you can build them into a route and just keep moving from spawn to spawn. For instance, in Howling Mountains there are six. Three are north of Logar: Barrow around 31.8, 14.3, just off the road in the Boar area at 45.5, 29.1, and in Sevaida Woods at . Three are South of Logar: Just north of Pioneers Colony, and two more to the south of the path from there to Logar.
World Search will only see three, one in each of Howling Mountains, Aslan Valley, and Dust Devil Canyon.

Winter Events[ | ]
The Advent season is upon us and the first snow is falling over Taborea. People across the land are preparing and getting into the festive spirit…
But new adventures lurk around every corner in this land of magic. This year is no different, as wild monsters walk abroad once more, and we plan a host of exciting events.
So get your weapons polished up ready and come by regularly to find full details on all our winter events.
For more details, see Winter Events
Fun in the Snow[ | ]
The snow has fallen through the night, covering Taborea in a soft blanket that sparkles in the rays of the rising sun. Children waking to this piping cold rush out into the deep, cold fleece with peals of laughter to join the great snowball fight. But their good-natured missiles occasionally go astray, hitting monsters who lash out furiously and prime themselves to attack.
Can you protect the children? Earn yourself a boost event in reward!
- Between December 11th (12:00 AM) time and December 13th (11:59 PM server local time) you will gain +150% Experience from quests and mobs and +150% talent points from mobs.
- Between December 18th (12:00 AM) time and December 20th (11:59 PM server local time) you will gain +100% boost in drop rates.
- Between December 25th (12:00 AM) and January 3rd, 2021 (11:59 PM server local time) you will gain +300% Experience from quests and mobs, +300% talent points from mobs, and a +200% boost in drop rates.
Daily Presents from Santa Claus[ | ]
Do you still remember the days when you wrote letters to Santa? In Taborea, it’s the other way around – over the Christmas season, Santa and his helpers will send you letters containing little gifts!
Don’t miss out on any of these cool deliveries. There’s a surprise in store for you every day between December 14th and January 1st, 2021, and you can look forward to various useful items to help you on your adventures. If you have multiple characters on your account, the presents will land in the mailbox of the first character you log in with. Even if you miss a day during this period, it won’t have any effect on the remaining presents.
Secret Santa[ | ]
Each day, from December 14th to January 1st, the first character to login will receive a gift, attached to an email, from your Secret Santa. The "day" resets at 6am, CST (we think). If you stay logged-in overnight, the first character you change to after midnight will get the gift.

They are mostly the same items as last year, and mostly on the same day, but a few are rearranged.
Festive Action Feeling[ | ]
While Taborea glitters under the cold mantle of winter, the people are busy preparing delicious feasts and sharpening their weapons. Meanwhile, what with the Snowflake Festival and New Year’s celebrations, even the most ferocious monsters are getting into the festive spirit. In fact, they’re carrying presents with them that any valiant adventurer can "liberate"… assuming they have the guts to take them by force. If you’re not afraid of diving into the thick of battle, don’t let this opportunity slip away.
During the event from December 15th (12:00 PM) to January 3rd, 2021 (11:59 PM server local time), rally your friends and guild mates together and defeat the monsters all over Taborea and get awesome prizes:
- In Pantheon (easy mode) all bosses will drop Coin of Wind (1 Day). Just remember that each boss only carries a certain number of items, irrespective of how many fighters defeat them.
- Hidden Box in Sardo Castle (normal mode), and Force Golem Sentry in Aeternal Circle (normal mode), will drop Proofs of Myth.
- In the whole world, all monsters will carry special Coin of Petals (30 Days).
In addition, don't forget to visit Owenstein, Hilary, Frank and Eve from December 15th (12:00 PM server local time) to January 7th, 2021 (until maintenance) at Reifort Camp in Sascillia Steppes for additional Christmas presents!
They are searching for rare Rhinoceros Blood, Coin of Petals (30 Days) and Coin of Wind (1 Day) which they’ll exchange for an incredible selection of wares including the Proofs of Myth and the Peak Experience Orb.
Tip: you can purchase Rhinoceros Blood from Black Codex merchants with Ancient Mementos.

Great Snowball Fight[ | ]
Ban | Hits | Transformed |
---|
- Location: Varanas Central Plaza
- NPC: Paige Gingerbread [Great Snowball Fight Announcer]
- Entry times: 00:00-01:00, 04:00-05:00; 08:00-09:00; 12:00-13:00; 16:00-17:00; 20:00-21:00 (PST, add 2 hours for CST, 3 hours for EST)
- Worldwide Announcement 30 minutes before start time
- Registration opens 10 minutes before start time
- Ban: You are banned from using any class skills inside the Snowflake Arena
- Maximum Reward: Festival Fireworks ×5 plus Goody-Goody Certificates ×20 (Min: 1)
You may enter the Snowflake Arena up to 10 minutes before the fight starts!
Talk to Paige Gingerbread to be teleported to Snowflake Arena where you will have to defeat new enemies! Your end score is determined by combining amounts of how many times you hit the enemies (Hits) and how many times you were hit by the enemy monsters (Transformation Counter).
In each wave you will face:
- Wave One: 2 Gingerbread Houses
- Despite the fact that the two Houses are almost on top of each other, you do NOT get 2 Hits per Snowball
- Wave Two: a Giant Gingerbread Man
- Wave Three: many small Gingerbread Men
Weaponry and Defenses:
- Pile of Snow - Harvest this to get the skill Snowball Throw - 1 hit
- Snowball Cannon - Snowball Cannon - 10 hits
- Snow Crystal Defense Shield - 15 second immunity to Snowflake Tree Transformation. Moves with you.
Speak to Paige Gingerbread after the fight to get Festival Fireworks ×5 and a number of Goody-Goody Certificates based on your score ( Goody-Goody Certificates+1/10 points, rounded up, to a max of 20).
BIG HINT: Because the rewards are based on number of hits rounded up, you get more Goody-Goody Certificates by hitting an enemy once, then exiting and collecting rewards, then re-entering (even if you got Transformed)! Using this method, in a single 1-hour session, on an older computer without an SSD, I made Goody-Goody Certificates ×62
Snowland[ | ]
- Location: Varanas Central Plaza
- NPC: Snowland Explorer Transporter [Phirius Snowland Pioneer]
Talk to the Snowland Explorer Transporter to be transported to Khazor's Watchtower in Snowland (an exact copy of Ystra Highlands but with different mobs and quests). All quests in this zone are repeatable ONCE PER DAY.
Note: You cannot ride a mount in this zone, nor can you use any of your class skills.
Lighting a Fire: In order to light a fire you must use Firewood for Making a Fire, and then Mr. Magga's Common Tool Set. It does not last very long (30 seconds?), goes out the moment you step away and cannot be re-lit, but it will give you a moments breathing space to thaw out.
While in this zone you will see an effect on your Effects Bar called "Warmth". This has a 3 second duration and, while you are near a fire, refreshes every two seconds and reduces 4 stacks of "Bitterly Cold" per second. If you are away from a source of fire, every second without "Warmth" adds a stack of "Bitterly Cold", which slows your Movement Speed. Eventually, if the stack gets to 30, you are "Frozen Stiff" and, after 30 seconds, you become numb and pass out. Don't worry, some kind pioneer or adventurer finds you and takes you back to the bonfire at Khazor's Watchtower where you recover. This does not affect XP or TP Debt.
Any source of "Warmth" will keep you alive, including a bonfire, a torch along the road, a hand-built campfire (see Lighting a Fire, above), or Venison Soup
The three greatest hazards of the Fire Swamp are the Flame Spurts, the Lightning Sands , and the R.O.U.S.'s! Wait, wrong epic...
The three greatest hazards of everywhere away from a fire, outside of freezing to death, are the Winter Ice Crystals, the Snow Bears, and the Snowland Mad Rabbits.
- Winter Ice Crystal - If you see a message that says you feel the temperature drop suddenly, you are near a Winter Ice Crystal! Smack it before it touches you, or you will be Frozen Stiff!
- Snow Bear - These bears have never forgotten great-grandbear Smokey's warnings about forest fires, and so they will put out any fire they see (especially the one you just barely got lit). If you can talk to the bear before he reaches you, he realizes your fire is not unattended and he leaves you alone.
- Snowland Mad Rabbit - He may be very, very late, but that is no excuse for rude behavior! If one of these gets close he will run you over, stunning you for 2 seconds (Little Rabbit's Hammerhead). In the cold those 2 seconds can be a real buzz-kill! Here's the good part, though. If you can click on it before it reaches you, you will smote it and it may drop a Firewood for Making a Fire!
As you explore Snowland, be on the lookout for a Treasure Chest Covered in Snow!
Khazor's Watchtower[ | ]

About Travel: There is no Event or Snoop Portal to transport directly to Dalanis Gates from Varanas. Your three options are: Snoop to Ancient Kingdom of Rorazan then to Thunderhoof Hills from there, Go to Obsidian Stronghold Mercenary Square and talk to Hajikar Mashes [Envoy from Dalanis] to transport to Dalanis, or use your Transport Book to Portal to Dalanis Gates (you did remember to drop ink there, right?). One costs 4,400 and the other costs a Transport Rune, the cheapest is 10 gold (transport from Reifort Camp or Varanas to Obsidian Stronghold). Use Recall to get back to Varanas (or wherever you are registered) and use Hajikar Mashes [Envoy from Dalanis].
