Frostfell 2014 is Now Open!

Each year, Frostfell gets even bigger with more quests, more collections, and more recipes with more items you can make for your home. It’s hard not to miss something without a writeup or two and fortunately EQ2 ZAM and EQ2Traders continue to deliver. Meanwhile Lera has fully updated EQ2Furniture to include multiple screenshots of every single house item available in EQ2, including all the new goodies for Frostfell! As of Noon pacific, Frostfell is open for business, and the remaining few EQ2 fan sites are all over this much-anticipated event.

From EQ2 ZAM:

This year Frostfell introduces one new quest, The Great Candy (Cane) Chase, in which players are challenged to collect E’ci cubes around Frostfell Wonderland Village. Pick them up in order while being helped or hindered by presents! This new game can be repeated every 18 hours.

Players with extra “gifties” from the Gigglegibber Gifty Storehouse can exchange them for Frozen Tokens of E’ci on the Enchanted Lands dock. Santa Glug can be found with his bag of goodies inside the Frostfell Wonderland Village for players to receive their daily presents. There are of course new recipe books, and if you didn’t get them last year you can still obtainPermanent Frostfell Crafting Stations!

ZAM is pleased to offer alt-a-holics an updated Frostfell Quest Tracker. Print it out and chart up to 15 of your characters’ progress! Be sure to check out all the great info in our Frostfell Guide.

From EQ2 Traders:

Welcome to Frostfell 2014, the annual mid-winter holiday event in EverQuestII! This event will run from 8 a.m. Pacific on December 11, 2014 through 7 a.m. Pacific on January 8, 2015. Whether you are a Frostfell Fanatic or a Humbug, you’re likely to find something to enjoy this holiday season!

Magic closets to the Frostfell Wonderland Village will appear in every home city, transporting you to a rather icy and snowy wonderland. In addition to the Frostfell crafting instance, there are plenty of other returning quests for the avid Frostfeller, as well as one new quest – the race that’s mentioned in the story above. (While Mum and Mum’s human aren’t keen on this type of race, many will find it a fun challenge.)

As with past years, harvestable presents are scattered around the zone, with 55 different types of Frostfell-specific resource to be gathered. Several Gigglegibber vendors in the zone will sell you recipe books (3 new ones, plus all the ones from past years), shopping bags for the Frostfell harvestables if you need them, and special Frostfell fuels. The recipes can only be crafted upon the special Frostfell equipment that can not only be found in the Frostfell Wonderland Village, but home versions of the station can also be quested.

If you’re harvesting for your Frostfell crafting supplies, don’t forget to use harvesting kits and the like to speed up your harvesting. The upgraded pack pony will also be a boon, as you can send him off after holiday harvests for the duration of the event.

Lera has updated his infinitely helpful EQ2Furniture site. The exhaustive information presented about each item, and the limitless number of screenshot thumbnails presented per page can test even the strongest internet connection and browser, but there is no better resource for finding house items of every category, live event, color, shape, size, and all the information needed to acquire those items.

As for EQ2U, we have all 29,406 recipes from EQ2 including everything you can craft for Frostfell. If you haven’t checked out our Recipes feature, it shows the exact components required to craft every single item in EQ2, and lets you see all the recipes and recipe books your characters have learned, completely  taking the guesswork out of crafting!
