Build Your Own Snowman!

Combine a magic iceball (from Jolly Snowman) with a poofy snowball to get a torso. Combine the torso with another poofy snowball to get the body, then combine a strange stick with the body, and a carrot with that to get your complete snowman. (Thanks to Justin E. for recipe and to Sakura Kinomoto of MT for pics and stats!)

Snowman

A perfect snowman. Head, Arms, Nose, legs... wait, no legs.
You can hook this item on floor and yard hooks. It's oddly colder than normal snow.

I've also heard reports that snowmen look fabulous in fezes, and if you top them off with another poofy snowball, they become two-headed! Thanks to Mike Da Cool of MT from the Death Incarnate allegiance for the discovery!

Two Headed Snowman

A monstrous snowman. It's very disturbing and the neighbors don't like it.

Hi Maggie,
After reading your update I decided to test it and see if you could indeed make a 2 headed snowman. It's true!! Use the snowman on a poofy snowball and you get a 2 headed monstrosity. One head smiles and the other frowns. It's so cute that I have one inside my house as well now :)

Hope you like the pictures as proof.

Take care
Grimshaw, WE

Newbie Love!
Hey Maggie,
I'm Blue Dragoon of SC. I managed to log in and get some pics from the new patch (only 2), but they closed the servers before I could really explore.
Some changes:
1. The Welcome Letter got a facelift
2. There are Peppermint Sticks for the holidays
3. The Training Hall was completely redone!!
4. Creatures in the training hall will actually fight back now!
5. New Creatures: Mosswarts Kin and Mosswart Thieves, Sparring Golems
and Carpenter Wasps

Blue Dragoon faces a Sparring Golem!

Training Master tells you, "As you proceed through the Practice Area, warriors should read the signs on the left. Spellcasters should read the signs on the right. There are 4 chests filled with goodies hidden in this roon--see if you can find them all!"

Nockmaar of HG sends this pic of Thing-One in an Academy Coat with an Academy Atlatl!

Vilece of MT reports the following:
Found out some info on the Candy Cane. If you stand in range of spells and Candy Cane will through level 2 life prots at you. If you stand long enough it will eventually cycle through them. It also cast a couple of critter spell but not that many.

Sakura Kinomoto of MT reports the following:
If you kill the Candy Sticks, they drop 10 Peppermint Sticks on the ground. (Must be killed by casting Harm Other on them via the Spell Research tab.)  

Thanks also to Nova Knight of MT, Vilece of MT and J-B of LC.

Peppermint sticks are also dropped by low level drudges (Thanks to Eric J. and Mrs Bloodbeard of SC).

New House Recall Animation!
There's no place like home! ;-) Plus all characters on an account may now use the command. Phew! No more running the rest of my over-burdened level 1 mules past those Gigas, Mattekars and worse! (Although it was a kind of fun adventure for the first few!) Sun Jian of DT demonstrates below!

Including one not announced in the Build Notes! See the Emotes page for a full list of emote in-game. Thanks to Caster Braermont for the new emote and to Satyricon and friends of WE for the pic!

Bunny Slippers!

William Witty tells you, "What's with all the carrots, you ask? Why, I'm luring bunnies! See my slippers? Why, I was able to run all the way from the Direlands to here, fast as you can say "Lickety-split!" And I can't tell you how nice it is at the end of the day to curl up by the fire with a good book and these slippers warming my tootsies. And ya know what? I like these so much, I have them in every color of the rainbow...Well, tell ya what. If you bring me a little rabbit carcass, I'll make one for ya--but mind you, only one." 
William Witty skins the bunny, cuts the pelt, and quickly sews a bunny slipper.

William Witty's can be found at 0.3N, 51.8E, near Lytelthorpe.
