Good afternoon to all the five villages! Please excuse my tardiness, these old bones ache a lot in the morning so it's hard to get moving. But despite that, dears, let me introduce myself to the rest of you. My name is Polaria, and I'm the mayor of Tigereye Peak. On behalf of my village and all its residents, we're excited to share the Snow Festival with you!
Around this time of year, the snow fairies come out of hiding play with the residents of Tigereye Peak. We've encouraged them to travel far and wide across Furvilla, so you'll be able to encounter them too! Each fairy has a special ability that'll bring a boon to your villagers. The abilities vary from giving you a cute holiday item to improving your village someway. If you're curious, they're easily viewable here.
If you didn't know, it was a Frozen Leaf Fairy that led the founder of Tigereye Peak to the mountain where we all reside. In the cold of the night, Samuel and his exploration party were ready to give up. But then there was a beautiful golden light, and Samuel followed it to the caves and mountain crags where we live now. Because of this, you often see Snow Festival trees topped with a golden tiger -- a tiger, because Samuel was a tiger, and golden, because of the Frozen Leaf Fairy's beautiful glow.
Fairies will befriend you while you explore or battle monsters. You'll encounter them easily at first, but as you collect a lot of fairies, they will slowly become more rare to encounter. But never fear, dears, this resets at the top of each day, so you can start finding fairies easier again at the beginning of the next day.
We have a lot of simply wonderful holiday furniture that you can obtain from one of the fairies. One tradition we have here in Tigereye Peak is to fill our homes with Snow Festival decorations, and we've made it into a bit of a contest. If you'd like to participate in the contest, decorate your home with Snow Festival items, and then post your home here in this thread. There are some cute little prizes for the participants! (Speaking of furniture, did you know a darling named Darkmoon Dancer is the one crafting all this furniture? She's so talented! What a dear!)
Even our villagers are getting into the spirit of the holiday. Why don't you try putting on the Fluffy Costume if you're a Gembound, Wickerbeast, Dutch Angel Dragon, Deer, Big Cat, or Snuffle? I'd love if you could bundle in something warm, because you know I worry about all of you, right? Now that the snow's drifting from Tigereye Peak, it must be so cold in those other villages... I know Olde Foxbury and Quetzal Palace are used to the cold weather, but I worry so much for you folks in Oceandome and Dragonsmaw Manor! The weather's usually so temperate down there...
There are a lot of cute outfits that our village is producing too, which you can dress yourself in when you're blessed by a Magic Plush. One of the fairies will give you one of those Magic Plushes if you ask it nicely enough! Darlings, please bear in mind these Snow Festival colors will be available only during this year's event, then will retire.
Since the snow is drifting down into the other villages, perhaps you'd like to make a new friend? Our Snowbunny and Snowfox population has simply exploded now that the Festival has come! We'd like to invite you to take one of each with you. Simply click on them to do so! During the festival, these snow critters breed quite fast, with cool-downs of one day. However, when the Festival is over, they will no longer be breedable. Please keep that in mind! If you're searching for the rarer colors of these pets, please be sure to breed them out during the fourteen days of the festival.
Last, we'd love to see how you decide to dress up for the festival! Therefore, we're having another contest, where you can show us your beautiful look, dears. Submit a Paintie to the contest that's themed with the Snow Festival to participate, and I might be congratulating you as one of the best dressed in the Snow Festival! Come participate here!
All of us here at Tigereye Peak hope you enjoy the Snow Festival!
Information Recap:
All items retire on December 29th. Plushes and Furniture items will not be re-released.
Mini-Pets have a 1 Day Cooldown until 12:00 PM on December 29th, in which they become unbreedable and retired.
Fairies are obtained from the Explore and Warrior features, and begin with a 20% drop rate, decreasing by 1% with every fairy found to a 1% drop rate. This resets at the beginning of the next day. Fairies will drop until December 29th.
Contests (house and Paintie) end December 29th.
The current site theme will become an option for use after the Snow Festival as the game goes back to default layout.
For the paintie contest--If I submit a design, does the villager have to be the species of the paintie I'm submitting? Whether shifty or not
Ooh! Cool!!
but how do you get the costumes?
Woop! Tigereye pride!
Omg I neeeeed to see the new fluffies, can anyone point me in the right direction to preview?
What is the limit for the paintie contest?
how do we even breed those SUPER LIMITED EDITION pets if we only get one of each?
Well, it's a nice first try at an event (and perhaps a good load test to find and fix the causes of lag).
That said, perhaps it would have been better to give a breeding pair of the pets and, to be extra nice, making them breedable from day 1 would have been great. As it is, we have to wait until day 2 to even breed them (because of the cooldown). Since we don't have a pair, we have to find a breeding partner, so we'll only be able to breed 1 set on day 2. Then, we'll need to work something out for other pair on Day 3 (either pairing the baby with a parent or trading the baby from Day 2 for a pet to breed with the other event species), so 1 breeding certainly on Day 3, maybe 2, if we arrange a swap over both Days 3 and 4. So, best case, we get a breeding pair of each by Day 4, leaving 10 days to breed them. That's awefully convoluted. Please, next time, just give a breeding pair so everyone starts off able to breed them without having to go through risky swaps that introduce so much risk for scamming (especially with so many newer users around).
I'd also love to see what the new colors from the plushies look like, especially the Big Cat and the Otter. :)

Do a hard refresh or clear your cache, it should set the new images~

No no, they're available for everyone! The festival is themed after TEP, but the items pop up for everyone, no worries ;)
I don't know what they mean by site theme, mine looks exactly the same as it always does :( I want to know what I'm mising out on here with the site theme.
