December 17th Update

FESTIVE EGGNOG! - There's a brand new special meal you can cook the rest of the month called Festive Eggnog - Look for the special help request from Mariya to unlock the recipe - Festive Eggnog has very good cooking XP for the amount of time it takes to cook - Also, you can use Festive Eggnog to make your chat colors festive!

BAH HUMBUG - If you don't like seeing the chat explode with festive colors from eggnog use, go to Settings > Game Options and look for the new option 'Allow special chat text colors?' and set it to OFF - You can also now cancel meals you have active, including Festive Eggnog - If the meal is active, go to the item details and look for the cancel button, but you do not get the meal back, so keep this in mind

FROZEN FISHING DEC 20 - 31 HOW THIS WORKS - December 20th through December 31st is the Frozen Fishing Event! - During this event, the community will need to work together to 'freeze' each fishing location - To do this, you'll need Frozen Fishing Nets Frozen Fishing Net and Frozen Large Nets Frozen Large Net - Take your snowballs Snowball and head into town and look for the ICE Machine (Available during the event) - Toss your snowballs Snowball and nets into the ICE Machine to convert them into Frozen nets - Then get to fishing and as you use the frozen nets you'll occasionally see that you helped freeze the location - To assist with the freezing progress in each location you'll see a thermometer bar on the top-left - There are 20 'frozen' items to acquire during the event, each with mastery progress! - Once a location is frozen, you can use regular nets to catch the 'frozen' items and the silver bonus will kick on (+2% per frozen zone). Until the zone is frozen, using frozen nets will get you some of the 'frozen' items

OTHER BONUSES - For each frozen fishing location, there will be a +2% bonus to silver for items sold at Market - During the entire event, enjoy +10% Skill XP, +10% Friendship XP and +10% Mastery Bonus

OTHER NOTES - On Jan 1, frozen zones will start to thaw out, but could be kept frozen if enough people keep using frozen nets - All bonuses to silver, XP, mastery, etc will end on 12/31

... BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! - During the event, also look for the new Snowball Fight section on Home - This works very similar to Bottle Rocket Brawl, except with Snowballs! - Pick your shield and make an attack and if you hit another player with a snowball you'll earn an Event Token - You can make a certain number of attacks per hour, so keep checking back - The Event Shop will be open during the entire event to let you spend your tokens on nice rewards

WHAT ABOUT SANTA'S REINDEER? - Keep an eye out for them to show up anytime anywhere...
