Giving and Receiving Snowflakes from Snowballs

  • If you are the target of a Snowball, you will receive between 4 and 7 Snowflakes.

Catching Snowballs

  • Once you have obtained 1000 Snowflakes, you unlock the ability to catch Snowballs. This is a rare occurrence and will result in the addition of a Snowball to your inventory.
  • For every 500 Snowflakes obtained after 1000, your chance to catch a Snowball that is thrown at you is increased.
  • If someone catches a Snowball you threw at them, it will not count toward your leaderboard score. You will still earn Snowflakes.

    I've noticed that the shop has been updated and now includes some (rather snazzy) pins. I bought one but can't work out what to with it. Does anyone know how to 'equip' them?

    Edit: I think I've managed to do it now.

      There appears to be an issue with equipping Pins via account manager. It will be fixed soonTM.

    Can´t figure this one:

    This icy fellow is howling with joy as he charges to unwrap his gifts.

    Any hints? I´ve tried cards with ice, howling cards, even charge cards, I think I´m missing something here :D

        Thanks! I knew it was him, but couldn´t remember the exact name. Had to search in game collection, OOC search didn´t work with neither of the words.

          First thing that pops up when i write "ice" in. Maybe you had additional filters on? For example, if you select a class, you can no longer de-select it, you can change it, but you can no longer remove the class filter, you have to reload the card search from scratch. That will be fixed sometimes in the future. Maybe that was the case and you didnt notice.
