Frostfell 2020

There is a growing chill in the Norrathian air, and faint sounds of sleighbells -- Frostfell is almost upon us once again!

This event is currently being tested on the Test server. It will be on the live servers from 8 a.m. Pacific on December 8, 2020 and end on the morning of January 5, 2020. As with every past Frostfell event, this event starts with a 7 a.m. patch time, instead of the midnight-to-midnight you are used to with other events. (Those huge Frostfell trees in Qeynos and Freeport take some special tending to in that respect!) The TLE server, Kaladim, will have most of the event EXCEPT for: Little Lost Goblin, Deepice Dreams, Special Delivery, O Frostfell Tree, Tis the Season, Gift Giving. Kaladim players who obtain the Frostfell Merry Kitten familiar will find that on the Kaladim server it is turned into a fluff pet spell.

Before We Start the Eye Candy

The quest "A Deepice Mystery", which used to require that players complete the unthawing process on various Frostfell NPCs before they could do the other Frostfell quests in the Frostfell Wonderland Village is being changed to a one-time quest. You will need to complete it this one more time, then in future years, you will not need to do it again. Since folks really like the Frost Fae Drake Plushie, it and a petamorph wand version of him will be available for purchase on Gerbi Frostfoot once you complete this quest again (10 tokens for the plushie, 4 tokens for the wand).

What's New?

Nine of Santa Glug's sixteen gifts this year are new. Gerbi Frostfoot will sell eight new items for Frozen Token of E'ci. Giggawat and Garsleblat will sell four items that had not been available since 2007. There are three new Frostfell crafting books this year: Frostfell Outfits You Can Make XIII, Frostfell Feasts and Decorative Crafts XIII and Scholarly Pursuits for a Festive Frostfell XIII. Last, but not least, there is one new quest this year.

How to Access the Event

If you are new to Frostfell, or simply feeling a bit brain-fogged, the main Frostfell hub, the Frostfell Wonderland Village, is available from every home city via a magic cabinet. There is quite a bit to see and do in there as well as quests in all starting cities. I recommend that you visit the wiki for details on the quests. If you have a lot of alts that you want to run through the event, you might also want to download Casdoe's Frostfell tracker in XLS version and a PDF version, both of which have been updated for 2020.

You may wish to clear out a bunch of bag space - or make room for one Frostfell shopping bag from the vendor, and some extra room in another bag or two not only for the overflow from that bag but also for the items that you craft, gifts from Santa, quest rewards, etc. If you forget to unload before you head in, there is a banker at the top of the zone near the entrance.

New Quest - Icy Something Worth Mining

Returning Collections

All four Frostfell collections are returning this year. This includes the frozen toes collection from the Frostfell Wonderland Village and the Icy Keep dungeon, plus the three new ones from last year. (Since folks don't always have those three new ones memorized: Three pieces from each collection are found (Qeynos/Freeport/Neriak), three pieces from each collection are found in the Frostfell Wonderland Village, and three pieces from each collection are found in the secondary cities of Gorowyn, Kelethin, New Halas.)

Videos

Poor Ocarinah has been swamped with housing videos and real life, but she managed to still be pretty speedy with these preview videos. She rocks! <3 First is the Full Version and then she also did a silent version. As always, thanks!

What Else?

Obtaining Frostfell crafting stations for your home is once again an option this year. The Frostfell crafting instance also returns (look for the gobbie with the green quest feather in the Frostfell Wonderland Village for the quest), harvestable gifts return, etc.

In addition, we are seeing the return of the Twelve Days of Frostfell again this year. Santa Glug's Curious Clerk will be located in Qeynos Harbor and West Freeport, near those cities' Magic Closet that leads to the Frostfell Wonderland Village.

He will sell 3 Frostfell-themed mercenary contracts, 4 gumdrop familiars (one of which is ethereal), and one house deed. The house, Santa Glug's Cheerful Holiday Home, consists of 3 snowglobe "rooms" (right-click the housing portal to port from globe to globe) that are placed inside of a massively oversized replica of the entry area to the old Baubbleshire Inn.

The Glug's Chocolate Coin currency for these items will be obtained as a bonus from purchasing specific Frostfell-themed items from the "Holiday Bundles" section of the Marketplace. The currency is heirloom.
