Frostfell (EQ2 Live Event)  

Frostfell is the annual winter holiday live event. It usually runs from mid-December through early-January.

Frostfell 2012 is planned to run from 12/13/2012 through 01/10/2013. Note that this event must start and end with a server patch, so expect it to start after the downtime on December 13 and end with the downtime on January 10.

Frostfell is a Deepice celebration whose origins are shrouded in mystery. It is widely thought that the festival was started by a demigod who hid gifts of food and other goodies for the citizens of Norrath. No one knows when the tradition first began; it could have been during the Lost Ages when all of Norrath was shrouded in a curse laid by the gods.

During this time, no gods bestowed their grace upon Norrathians save one, who in visited Norrath in secret and hid special prizes from the planes about Norrath to aid what was left of the populace. Some historians theorize that it may even have been Quellious in disguise. Either way, over the years it has developed into a tradition celebrated by all Norrathians.

The Dark Elves and other evil races also participate in this festival. No one really knows why, it could just be that everyone loves to get presents. Naturally, to preserve their image, they maintain that they aren't really receiving gifts, but rewards earned through their own superior skills.

Frostfell has four significant days: Kinship Day - A time for families and friends to spend together, celebrating and renewing bonds; Feasting Day - A shared day of feasting on all the bounty Norrathians have collected throughout the year (a favorite day of Halflings!); Gifting Day - Everyone gives and receives presents; Frostfell Day - The final day of celebration, spent in song (or for those races who can't be seen singing, quiet contemplation), parades, dancing, and other fun winter activities.

Frostfell is the live event for December, introduced in 2005, in celebration of winter holidays.

Presents and Fun

Players can receive a present every 18 hours from Santa Glug during Frostfell in the Frostfell Wonderland Village. His predecessor, Gardy Giftgiver retired in 2008 after some meanie beat him up and broke his snowglobes. Find a list of all known past and present presents at Frostfell Gifts.

Around the city zones you will find baskets of snowballs that can be interacted with. Click them to receive 20 snowballs at a time, which are stackable up to 200. There is a short cool-down timer between each gather of the snowballs. You can then use the snowballs to throw at mobs or other players, causing them to go through a special animation sequence.

You can also find a fruitcake in the Frostfell Wonderland Village which you can harvest for 20 Sturdy Fruitcakes. The baskets of snowballs inside the Frostfell zone will give you icy snowballs. These special snowballs will disappear if you zone but also have a slight knockback effect when thrown at other players.

Services

Merchants around the Frostfell Wonderland Village sell recipe scrolls as well as Frostfell-oriented appearance and house items, some of which were gifts in previous years. Players can speak to Giddlenerf Gigglegibber (near the Sewing Tables), Garsleblat Gigglegibber (near the Icy Keep), Giggawat Gigglegibber (near the top of rainbow slide) and Guhtosle Gigglegibber (by the Stoves).

Gerbi Frostfoot, who trades equipment and house items for Frozen Tokens of E'ci, can be found at the bottom of the rainbow slide. Equipment can only been seen by players level 20 and higher, and the next tier of equipment is available at the 0s (ie: 40 can see level 42, 70 can see level 72, etc). For a table of items that Gerbi offers see our Frostfell Token Rewards guide.
