I am not seeing this under the Free category of the Zen store on any of my characters.
I can understand the Winter Wolf mount not showing up because I think I might have that on all my characters.
but what is the deployment method for the Snowflake vanity pet? Is it supposed to be claimed through the Zen store, or is it through some other method? The announcement page mentioned Tymora:
In addition, Tymora has left two free Simril gifts for adventurers, new and old, to enjoy! The Winter Wolf mount is back for those who missed it previously along with a new Vanity pet, Snowflake the Sprite!
1. Is the vanity pet only available to claim once per account? or can we claim Snowflake on every character?
2. Is it only going to become available on a specific day sometime between December 19 and January 2nd?
in the past, Neverwinter had different items available for claiming on different days of the week. Are both the Winter Wolf and Snowflake supposed to be available to claim throughout that entire period up until January 2nd?

Snowflake is under ITEMS
Winter Wolf is under MOUNTS
(both are FREE but are not showing up under the Store Front FREE category)
Snowflake is supposedly claimable once per account. but why put that item in the Winter Festival events collections page then? I do not actually try to complete all my collections items for all characters (it is too much grind), but it would help if these vanity pets were account-wide rather than character-specific.
1. I was reading that if you claimed it last year that you are unable to claim it again? just wanted to confirm that is correct. so if I wanted to claim it on a different character this year, it is unavailable as a free claim from the zen store, right?
(I guess last year, the snowflake cosmetic vanity pet was available under a category in the zen store called ITEMS, but that category seems to have been removed)
2. does the snowflake vanity pet have a rare chance to drop from a starlight parcel/bag opening? or was it only the other winter festival yeti vanity pet (crystal the yeti) that drops from them??
someone in a different (more recent thread) had said that he had farmed out snowflake vanity pets for all his characters.
2. not sure, haven't seen a Snowflake drop from anything during the event last year, may be it was available from the Light of Simril Trader? I mean the player wrote he "farmed" the Snowflake, that would suggest that it might have been buyable for event currency? Slugs, another vanity pet, is also in there now.
Anyway, just make sure to push your characters above level 30 before joining the gifting madness, otherwise you'll only get Refinement Points HAMSTER as loot... not sure if that has been changed this year, but it happened to me last year.
Snowflake the vanity pet seems to be one-per-account, forever. I claimed it last year on one character. It's not available to any other character this year.
Cryptic seems to be in the doldrums for the Winter event...
wolf and vanity... for those that didn't had it last here, I did had so nothing there for me.
If u refer to simiril gifts, light/star shop they are rng based, and free if I spend the time gathering the currencies.
But forget my comment, makes no difference and take it nowhere... I'm sorry if I offended some1.
I did collect vanity pet last year.
It should be directly stated, if players can collect only once per lifetime.
"The same procedure as last year, Miss Sophie?"
"The same procedure as every year, James!"
... comes to mind.
And funny how they can make time for "improving" the fishing again, but can't change the drop mechanic from those bloody Gift of Simril so that the loot goes directly into the players inventory instead of just spawning all over the place and creating lag every damn year.
Or if that's not possible, just add an exchange option for those Gift of Simril to one of the Winter Festival NPCs, that will give you just a loot bag with the same rewards in it, less stress for the players and probably less stress for the servers too...
Btw. what character level do you need this year for getting the full range of rewards from the Gifts?
