==== The Frost King's Latest Attack ====
−
''{{date|15|August|2017}}''
+
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.
 +
 
 +
Visit the Great Winter Taiga to find magical snow golems that are perfect for collecting all sorts of resources! Along with useful hunting supplies, your golems can collect powerful Hailstones to smash through the Ice Fortress' shield.

Relic Hunter Season 5 has brought with it a new limited edition base that can be found inside Season 5 Treasure Chests. The Ancient Booster Base is a +10 Luck Base that has a special effect when capturing the Relic Hunter Mouse.
+
'''Golem Parts'''
  
−
Upon capturing a Relic Hunter Mouse with the Ancient Booster Base, it will release the magic of an Ancient Relic from your inventory, crumbling into a pile of one of the four varieties of Ancient Charms. This process will consume an Ancient Relic from your inventory, meaning if you do not have any the base will have no effect.

*Each "Season 5" Relic Hunter Treasure Chest has a chance of containing the Ancient Booster Base.
+
'''Festive Spirit itself'''</div>
−
*The more season 5 chests you open, the greater your chance of finding the limited edition base will be!
 
−
*After opening 29 chests, you're guaranteed to find the base in your 30th if you have not already found it.

====Back for a Limited Time: Gilded Treasure Maps====
+
==== New Festive Rewards ====
 +
Each time you claim a golem reward, you'll progress a reward track to earn bonus rewards including two new pieces of Limited Edition hunting equipment.
  
−

Gilded Scroll Cases are back in the premium shoppe for a limited time only. The treasure chest these maps lead to are full of goodies and also grant 1 month of the Lucky Golden Shield when opened. They're great for sharing the Golden Shield with map mates!

Gilded Treasure Chests also have a chance of containing the challenging Slayer Scroll Case which will take hunters on an epic treasure hunt to track down the most challenging mice throughout the Kingdom. The Slayer Treasure Chest contains Baitkeep Charms, SUPER|brie+, and grants the impressive Slayer Aura when opened, giving +5 Luck! Dusting a Gilded Map will lead to a Rare Gilded Treasure Chest that has double the chance of a Slayer Scroll Case being inside!

'''''(NEW)''  Cozy Chalet Journal Theme'''
  
−
The Warpath Portal Projector can be activated in wave four of the Fiery Warpath to teleport a hunter into the Warmonger's top secret Command Tent where the Artillery Commander Mouse is stationed. This mouse holds launch codes for the Marching Flame's tactical artillery strikes against Muridae Market.

+
'''Adventure Reward'''
  
−
Portal Projector components are rare and valuable commodities, and as such, not all Warpath Treasure Chests contain them. Warpath Treasure Chests have an 18% chance of containing a component, and Rare Warpath Treasure Chests have a 40% chance of containing a component (along with twice the Points, Gold, Ancient Charms, and more items!).

Pay special attention to which of Ronza's wares are Limited Edition. Anything marked as Limited Edition is in short supply and will not ever return to the Kingdom!</p>

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.

−
'''Chrome Scroll Case (New Scroll Case)''' <br/>
+
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>
  
−
This bright and shiny scroll case contains a special treasure hunt that spans the entire Kingdom. The difficulty of map you'll find inside scales with your hunters title and more challenge maps lead to more rewarding chests!
 
  
−
Opening the Chrome Treasure Chest that this map leads to will grant a special Chrome Aura which provides a +5 Luck Bonus for several days! The more challenging the map, the longer the aura lasts. Just like the Slayer Aura, the Chrome Aura duration stacks. If you open a Chrome Chest while having the Chrome Aura, the aura's duration will be extended. Using Rare Map Dust will result in a rare version of the chest that increases the duration of the aura!

−
These scroll cases are a difficult commodity for Ronza to secure, and as a result, hunters are limited to three each. However, if you manage to complete a Chrome Treasure Map while Ronza is still here, she will sell you another.
+
Hunters can continue to send out Snow Golems until the event ends completely.
−
Provides the Rift set bonus!
 
  
−
'''Golden Jade Scroll Case''' <br/>
+
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
 +
*Magical Holiday Scarf
 +
*Golem Gift Box
  
−
This treasure hunt will take you throughout the Kingdom in search of 20 clues. The chest you'll find is full of Points, Ancient Charms, Ancient Relics, and a wide variety of other goodies!
+
<div style="text-align: center;">'''Make sure to use up all of these resources before January 13!'''</div></div>
  
−
These scroll cases are not as difficult for Ronza to secure and so have a much lighter carry restriction. Hunters are limited to 100 each.

−
Ronza has brought with her "Supply Ships" stocked with tons of useful items! You'll also find Airship Charms, which provide an impressive Power and Luck bonus and are available directly from the Premium Shoppe, as free daily gifts for friends, and as free rewards within Daily Loyalty Chests!

====Rockforth Cheese, Rockstar Mice, and Moussile Mice====
+
----
  
−
While hunting at Ronza's Traveling Shoppe, you may come across a bait with an especially loud flavour -- Rockforth Cheese! The extreme volume means you can only hold 99 pieces in your inventory, however, arming it will bring around two special mice! The Rockstar and Moussile Mouse have both come to visit her shoppe and are carrying special loot.

'''Note''': Ronza will leave on '''1 August 2017'''. Be sure to visit her Shoppe before it's too late!

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.

Visit the Great Winter Taiga to find magical snow golems that are perfect for collecting all sorts of resources! Along with useful hunting supplies, your golems can collect powerful Hailstones to smash through the Ice Fortress' shield.
