The Great Winter Hunt is one of the biggest events of the year and there's so much more than golems. Hunt with friends to complete Nice and Naughty List Treasure Maps, reveal loot and prizes in the Snowball Showdown, leave something special under a friend's profile tree, and so much more! To help keep tabs on when things are happening, a calendar can be viewed via the heads-up display at the Great Winter Taiga.
  
<p>To celebrate the Year of the Dragon, Ronza sought out a Trapsmith capable of carving jade to create a base capable of providing +10 luck while also providing an impressive power bonus!</p>
+
<div style="text-align: center; font-size: 125%; font-weight: bold">Reminder: Each Gnawnian Day begins at midnight UTC</div>
  
<p>Purchasing this unique base follows a slightly different process. You hand over in a Jade Base, and a hunter must also possess a [[Dragon Seal]], proving they can handle the enchantment powering this base.</p>

<p>This odd-looking trap has been specifically designed for battling hordes of the Marching Flame. During the beginning of each wave, this trap receives a massive bonus to both its power and luck that diminish as mice are removed from the wave.</p>

<p>At the beginning of each Warpath Wave, the Warpath Thrasher has 9,000 power and 30 luck! However, as you catch mice, the Warpath Thrasher becomes less effective and its power and luck will reduce. When using this weapon, keep an eye on your trap's stats to know when it's time to switch to a more conventional weapon.</p>
+
On Tuesday, January 6, 2026, the Great Winter Hunt event will enter its shutdown phase. At this time, Pecan Pecorino and Golem Parts will no longer be found as loot drops. Forges will still work at the Golem Workshop and Cannons can still be fired at the Ice Fortress but Compressed Cinnamon will no longer drop in Cinnamon Hill.</div>

<p>At long last, the third installment in Ronza's ChromeBot series has arrived!</p>
+
Hunters can continue to send out Snow Golems until the event ends completely.
  
<p>The Chrome RhinoBot's luxurious look and intricate gold detailing is a great way to hunt with style. The shine of its extraordinarily bright chrome is only surpassed by the shiner it leaves on any mice caught in its path!</p>
+
After the event ends, the following items will melt away and be removed from your inventory:
 +
*Golem Parts
 +
*Animated Snow
 +
*Reinforced Ice Shards
 +
*Compressed Cinnamon
 +
*Hailstones
 +
*Firework Sugar Cookies

<p>Rockstar Mice love a good party! It did not take long for several Rockstars to jump off Ronza's ship and join the celebration at the Year of the Dragon Festival. Attracting one to your trap, however, requires an especially rockin' bait! Hunt aboard Ronza's ship where you can find Rockforth Cheese as loot. With Rockforth armed, you can then attract Rockstar Mice at the Dragon Festival!</p>

<p>'''REMEMBER''': Due to the extreme volume of this cheese, a hunter may not have more than 99 pieces at a time.</p>

The Great Winter Hunt Returns!

9 December 2025

Start sending golems to collect loot

Visit the Great Winter Taiga and Confront the Frost King once again

The Frost King's Latest Attack

The return of wintry weather has once again allowed the Frost King to construct his massive Ice Fortress. Hunters will need to smash their way through the Frost King's protective ice shield in order to end his plan to plunge Gnawnia into perpetual winter.

Stuck Snowball mice will drop a quantity of Throwable Snowballs or Super Snowball Charms equal to the number of Stuck Snowball mice you've captured during this year's event.

Players can leave gifts under profile trees up until the ceremony on December 18. Once the ceremony is held, gifts can be opened but no longer sent.
