🌨️ Cinthia will have the chance to spread joy with old melody items as potential quest prizes!
The Seasonal Quest Shop and Millionaire Center are currently set for winter. Enjoy!

Bumbles Cryptid Encounter has been read to Alba Aurora!

Girl, be more grateful.

And by the way in case not everyone knows, if you don't want to bother other people you can just throw snowballs at yourself. It still counts. :D
PSA: If you ever intend to complete the snowball achievement, take advantage of 5 for 1 now. Before this news release, I had 450 snowballs thrown. I just completed 30,000 thrown! StarShadow gave good advice in the previous news comments. Have a 1/2 size window open for buying and a 1/2 size window open for throwing. Keep them both open next to each other. I bought the same type of snowball, then I typed my username to 'throw at'. I refreshed the thrown page after buying a snowball and didn't even have to select the snowball or the person to toss it at. The same snowball was tossed at me every time. There is a five second restriction between throwing, but it went pretty fast. Good luck!
Disappointed the Unstable Fairy Scroll isn't a drop. Rare scrolls should get re-releases too!
I think I need 6,000 snowballs to complete the "Throw a Snowball" achievement. My math might be off.
My birthday is 7/25 so its always funny to see Christmas in July or like...snowmen in july sort of things
Idk about the rest of ya'll, but I am RACKING UP the Quest Points during this event. Lovin' it! :)
Doing an effort to NOT spend token shops in hopes some book Alba Aurora still needs releases

As much as I enjoy the fun snowball overlays (Spiky Snowball is one of my top favorites with the screaming anime-style facial expression), the Snowtapult's long track record of broken overlays really takes away its purpose. I'm trying to get the snowball achievement, but it feels like I'm just throwing avatar-breakers at people and it's sad.
I also remember the good ole days when you could layer 2 or 3 snowball overlays at once, I loved getting my favorites reflected back onto myself and making a goofy setup (imagine if you will, a top hat and mustache at once).

My avatar is also broken and Kumos isn't letting me log-in properly so I can't get into the wardrobe! ;<
@Amber
Is there any way someone can look at the mouse snowball? It seems to break the HA's when you throw it at someone.

i need roughly 5,775 snowballs to reach the highest tier of the achievement. (this is taking the '1 counts as 5' thing into consideration.) i don't suppose there will ever be an option to buy multiple at once? even a 10 pack would be helpful. haha
also, it's a little odd that maleria is the one passing out retired food and not pete.
but those are just nitpicks. thanks for the event!

I wanted to 2nd what @Lorelai posted and also ping @Amber.
Any way we could get the following Choice items into the CS stock?
They were from the Tres Chic competition in 2013, and haven't been brought back to the Cash Shop in years.
I posted about them last BF sale here.

Thank you for fixing the HAs. Though I'm okay with people throwing snowballs at me, I concur there should be a way to opt out.
I love this event, thank you! I went a little crazy in the cash shop. 😇
If anyone needs to throw snowballs, feel free to send some my way!

Looks like the HAs are back. And I love the Icy Snowballs, they make a pretty ice crown. In case someone missed it, here's a tip for snowballs - make two 1/2 size windows side by side, buy in 1 & toss in the other. Goes faster that way. Good luck to all. :D
dare to ask Any chance that the 5 second wait time on buying and throwing snowballs would be removed? That's the thing that really puts a damper on it for me.
oh not all the collections r being brought back? i wanted to buy some recent December collections.
I love this mini event. Thank you for this Amber!
Stocking up on snowballswhile patiently waiting for the avatars to turn back on
Also, if you're hesitant about attacking random people, feel free to launch some snowballs my way :snowman:

in the past, the chance vending machines have been half off on pulls. will that happen again? :D thanks for the mid-july sale; excited to pick up some stuff.
still dont know why we cant have an opt on snowballs like we did for organ harvesting, and with wardrobe being borked atm, cant even put the shield on
sorry in advance if i hit anyone w/ a snowball who didn't want to be hit :s i have been using the random option
I'm guessing the snowballs aren't working because as soon as someone threw one at me my HA disappeared and hasn't come back. :(
Thank you! Was able to purchase half my CSC wishlist. I hope the remaining backgrounds come back in November!
@Beldam
As far as I know, there is not a way to completely turn it off and not get hit by snowballs at all. However, wearing the Snowball Reflecting Shield will greatly reduce your chances of getting hit randomly. You can wear it behind your HA/under a backdrop if you don't want the shield itself to be visible.

@StarShadow thanks so much! I saw your comment earlier in the week about your favorite snowball and so I've been throwing those because you said they were pretty :)
These are really lovely, thank you for the link!

Is there anyway we can opt out of people throwing snowballs at us? As someone who is autistic I find it extremely distressing/upsetting :(
thank you so much for this event, this is so fun! and a nice break from it being 85 degrees outside :D
If anyone needs to throw snowballs my way please use the Icy Snowball. It makes a beautiful ice crown. Thanks. :D
This is so much fun!! Thanks for this lovely little event :)
Sorry if you get hit by strange snowballs from me, I literally just discovered today that the different snowballs "do" different things to the HA! I had no idea, so I'm trying them all out!
And feel free to fling snowballs my way, I love the cold relief of the heated day!

Thank you! I did prepare with tokens and crystals, but seems like most times haven't done quests when they reset. Oh well. Obviously a lot going on, had to read through twice. I got Candy Cane Lane Sign from Token Shop and Sleeping Plushie Lumineve Present from Crystal Shop =D
I need to throw exactly 6,000 snowballs to finish all the achievements lmao welp.....let's get this bread I guess

You can always direct them at me too, @brokensafety, if you feel weird about hitting random people.
I apologize, in advance, for the barrage of snowballs coming your way. It's faster to hit random. =X
