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.

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 Snowpeaks CoinBronze, Silver Snowpeaks CoinSilver, or Gold Snowpeaks CoinGold Snowpeaks Coins. Additionally, it may contain a Frozen KeyFrozen 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.

• Frozen Keys can also be found in chests throughout the game while the event is active, but at a rarer rate.
