Some extra information...
Some mobs may not drop the snowball even if listed. Because when writing CSV it is easy to make mistakes. Please report them.
Drop rate is 12%18% but some mobs have a bit more and others a bit less.
Rewards
Rewards are randomized.
Everyone who participates with a non-zero score will receive a small memento to remember the event, this memento is NOT a hat.
All top 15 participants will also obtain a hat.
Top 10, Top 5 and Top 2 will receive additional rewards, including some rare or fancy hats.
In special, Top 1 and Top 2 will obtain ONE of the following rares:
Santa Bearded Hat
Christmas Tree Hat
Eye Patch
Antler Hat
+ The other 4 prize items for being in top 5, in top 10, in top 15 and having participated.
(So yes, the prizes are cumulative; Aim for the top!)
Strategy Hint
-
Monitor the scoreboard daily so you don't fall too much behind.
-
Don't overdo it on initial days so you don't wear out early.
-
Try to participate on all three special event times.
-
Remember you can nurture your score at any time, so don't feel too pressed to be at the event times.
-
Scoreboard is updated in real time, there will be no hidden scores for this event.
-
Farm the snowballs. Buy snowballs if available and needed. Snowballs are not rare, but you can only obtain points if you are using them!
-
There are four event maps. Find them and be ready to switch if you believe this will increase your farming efficiency.
-
Again, like in any race, what matters is not who gets ahead when the race begins; Keeping the same pace as others should suffice for the first twenty days.
-
Rewards will be handed at the 25th!
