    Snowmen(New year event related)

    I'm not sure if this topic should go here but I just wanted to inform you that the snowmen were added back as of 1st Jan. 2008 JP midnight. This time round, the NPCs are named "Lucky Rats" and look like qirqins. Like before, you have to trade the NPCs items to receive snowmen from them. So far I got a snowman mage, knight and miner(I'm not sure if there're more). I found the NPCs in Tahrongi Canyon so the location of the NPCs should be the same as 2007 event. I apologize again if this topic shouldn't be posted here >_<

    Year of the dog used Fenrir, not a wolf.

    6 trades after the third snowman I got a New Years Gift. Another 6 or so and I got a second, another 6 or so and it said I couldn't obtain a third. One says Feliz Ano Nuevo! and one Happy New Year! Used one and it gave me ice spikes.. second one gave me fishing imagery......

    You need to trade to the Lucky Mouse to get stuff. There is only 1 Lucky Mouse per zone and it's bigger than the Lucky Rats.

    If its anything like last year event, they also show in Xarcabard, they should be easy to spot there.

    New Years Gift is used to get the Hoary Spire(wall scroll painting thing, furnishings).

    1.There is 1 NPC in each town which you can trade the New Years Gift to:
    N. Sandy - Jeanparmand D-8
    Basty Markets - Bunta D-11
    Port Windy - Pyru-Copyru B-4

    2. When you trade the gift, the NPC will say he can fulfill a wish for you, and give you 3 choices...
    -Ask Grandpa something = Fortune Telling
    -Something from my pocket = Battledore DMG 2 Delay 264 lv1 all job [club]
    -Ask about Grandpa

    3. If you chose the 2nd option and got a Battledore, go ride the Jeuno <-> Windy Airship, and on the deck, there is a NPC called Dilauriome, talk to him while having Battledore equipped.

    4. Trade Bast Parchment x 1 Black Ink x 2 to Dilauriome to get the Hoary Spire.

    It's the same furnishings from last year event, so if you have it, just toss or use those new years gifts, I guess.

    You can trade anything to the mouse to get the snowmen, I bought Wooden arrows from Windy, and got all my snowmen(3 for main, 3 each for mules).

    Your friend should be able to get New Years Gift again without waiting for day change or anything.

    It may just be noobie belief, but some say that trading the lowest cost item(such as ammo) won't get you the New Year Gifts, I got mine when I trade a Bind scroll(got it from killing a random Orc off my friend's mule), others have also said something similiar, such as Silent Oil, Shihei(not the toolbag), Echo Drops, etc.
