Snowpeaks Festival

Snowpeaks Festival is a winter event introduced in January 2021 (Update 48 Patch 3). Defeat new champion, collect coins, and turn them in for icy rewards.

The 2022 festival started with Update 52 Patch 1 on Jan 27 and ran until Feb 20. It introduced a second challenge, Too Cold to Continue (note this is currently unavailable - see below.)

New champion
While the event is active, a new type of Monster Champion, Scourge of the Snowpeaks, can appear in quests (subject to the same rules as regular champions (?), i.e., hard, elite, reaper difficulty). Kill the champion to spawn a white chest. Unlike with other types of monster champions, even regular (not orange) champions spawn a chest. The chest contains 1-X Bronze, Silver, or Gold Snowpeaks Coins. Additionally, it may contain a Frozen Key. White chests from orange champs always (?) contain a key.

All ingredients (coins, keys) are unbound. Frozen Key from the DDO Store is bound to account.

New loot in chests

 * Snowpeaks Coins can also sometimes be discovered in chests throughout the game.
 * Frozen Keys can also be found in chests throughout the game while the event is active, but at a rarer rate.





Event NPC
While the event is active, there's an NPC in the Halls of Heroes, named Flurry. Talk to Flurry to enter the challenge and turn in coins for rewards.

The Snowpeaks challenge

 * Consumes a Frozen Key to enter.
 * Slide down a ramp and collect coins.
 * There's a chest at the end with more coins.

Too Cold to Continue challenge
Introduced in 2022. TBD.
