==== Ronza is on her way! ====
+
==== The Frost King's Latest Attack ====
−
Ronza's airship has been spotted en route to the Kingdom of Gnawnia! Unfortunately, a brief skirmish with some Sky Pirates caused a gigantic crate of her precious Chrome Bits to fall overboard! Mice all across the Kingdom have been snatching them up so Ronza needs your help to retrieve them.
+
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.
  
−
Collect as many Chrome Bits as you can by hunting mice anywhere in the Kingdom and when Ronza lands on July 27, she'll show her gratitude by offering a wide selection of valuable rewards!
+
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.

==== Recover Chrome Bits to Earn Vouchers ====

<div style="text-align: center;">Collect the Frost King's Magical Holiday Scarf to construct an especially rewarding golem!</div>
−
Help Ronza recover her Chrome Bits by hunting throughout Gnawnia. Recover enough and you will be rewarded with Chrome Kit Vouchers! Ronza will award you one voucher for every 100 Chrome Bits you recover, up to a maximum of two vouchers. These vouchers can be used to purchase some of Ronza's famous Chrome Upgrade Kits and apparently, she has added a new one to her collection this year!

Rumour has it that Ronza has been hard at work on developing a groundbreaking new form of dirigible technology for use in the Floating Islands. Little is known for sure as to the specifics of this enigmatic project of hers but some have speculated that it may involve exploring even higher altitudes and possibly uncovering the truth behind the ancient legend of a mysterious palace above the clouds.
 
  
−
One thing that is known is that Ronza is offering a new and very unique reward this year for hunters who are able to collect 200 Chrome Bits. The reward is a strange and rather dangerous looking crate that is plastered with warning symbols. The crates are all currently locked so the contents are still a mystery but Ronza has claimed that she will share the secrets contained within as soon as her project is completed. For now, the hunters of Gnawnia will have to just wait and wonder.

To help keep tabs on when things are happening, a calendar can be viewed via the heads-up display at the Great Winter Taiga.

Stuck Snowball Sundays

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.
