The Snowpeaks Festival has arrived!

[Edwinge]

Try the one in the marketplace (Ebberon)

Yeah, I found it. However, neither the guide nor the in game prompt specify the Eberron Hall of Heroes. They just say the Hall of Heroes. They should either have the npc in both or specify which one.

Where exactly does the "Scourge Of The Snpow peaks" Champions appear ? In every quest ? In wildernesses ? Only at elite difficulty ?

Haven't seen them in wilderness (yet), but definitely in quests in elite or higher. I've not run norm/hard.

They are champions, and thus only appear where you'd expect champions to do so - ie, quests on hard or above. They will drop chests even if you're too high a level for usual remnant drops, however.

Remember to chat with the NPC at the end of the slide for a chest with mats

Available through February 2nd! You can find the guide to the Snowpeaks Festival on DDO.com.

when i go to flurry, I cannot access anything but level 1. Is that right? No XP, no monsters (im lev 25). Maybe im not doing it right? Dropdown has only lev 1 selectable.

I think this is how it works. There's only one level.

[Darstav]

So far i have only got 1 in every dungeon, i have run dungeons with respawning monster and also got 1.

I'm unlucky or it's capped to one chest per dungeon?

[cru121]

I have seen ~8 chests in a single dungeon.

I've had better success in reaper 1 than in HE quests. Initially, Elite didn't even have any- I switched toons, had the same issue, logged back over and my luck improved. (No conjecture on logging back and forth being a fix, just what I did while trying to elude my RNG curse)

Of the 12 Snow Peakers I encountered; I found...
- 2 keys
-no gold
-5 silver
-15 bronze. (I'm keeping a tally for every SP Champ- when I have more data I'll display it better)

I'm trying to get more keys before I try the slide.

The rubies still lack a descriptor in the trade menu as of this morning. (I know, the info is available in the update notes- just an observation.)

Not sure if this will help anyone, but you can run heroics being epic and still get chests with keys.... Im currently farming ToEE heroic elite and get around 4-5 chests minimim per run.... Also, running it in a party, speeds this process up a lot.

I just tried the slide - it is very boring.

No real speed, no challenge, no thrill - unless I overlooked something. Getting every single coin on the way was very, very easy even for a non-Mario player like me.

I'm totally fine with that! Haven't fallen off the ramp yet, so don't know how that effects things, but give me time and I'm sure I'll find out the hard way. :-D

You get teleported back to the top of the ramp. So you can get coins you missed.

[Yaneznayu]

You should really add a trade up for the coins, even if it at a rate of 10 to 1. I just got my first 50 gold coin item and have over a thousand bronze coins.

Frozen Keys have had to be temporarily removed from the DDO Store. We will extend the Snowpeaks Festival, and we will announce the new end date later.

huh?

Is it one of those 'don't ask' things?

Probably related to them being unbound. Hopefully they don't overfix it by making the farmed keys BTA...

[Jacque159]

The fact that you can only get cookies with bronze and no trading up is ridiculous. Very poor design.

[Marten]

I saw it asked if purchased skates would have any use and I didn't see a reply. If they don't, any chance we could exchange them for a Cookie Jar? Please?!

As long as you get the buff from the woman in the quest, you don't need skates. The buff lasts 10 minutes and the run is far shorter than that.

[Fauxknight]

So I've gotten a lot of keys, way too many in the past few days and here my 2c on how they drop:


Regular dungeons chests: Very small chance, but I've seen a few.
Regular Festival Champ chest: Small chance for key, maybe like 5-10%.
Orange Festival Champ chest: 100% chance for key.


So grinding anything on Hard+ will new you some keys, but quests with lots of orange type mobs are going to yield more. Honestly the number of keys I've picked up I wouldn't be surprised if you couldn't find a few people giving them away, I know I am.
