Roodolph's Snow Sprinkler is a side trip that starts in Happyville. Roodolph the reindeer will take you from there to the Extra Frosty Snow Zone, "where the Snow Sprinkler is", where Bill waits to open Christmas Present boxes won from the Snowman. The air there is so cold that only a warm, magical mitten keeps you standing: without the Magical Mitten equipped, you lose 35,000 HP every 5 seconds. For the town's other quests and how to reach Happyville, see Happyville Quest Guide.

Getting there

Reach Happyville first. Talk to Rooney for a free ride (see Happyville Quest Guide).
Put the Magical Mitten on before you talk to Roodolph. The sections below explain how to get it.
Talk to Roodolph, who stands on the main street of Happyville. He asks
Do you wish to head to where the Snow Sprinkler is?— Roodolph
Say yes and he takes you to the Extra Frosty Snow Zone.
To go back, talk to Roodolph again in the Snow Zone. He stands at the left end, right where you arrive. He asks
Do you wish to return to Happyville?— Roodolph
and takes you back.

The cold

!

Warning The cold in the Extra Frosty Snow Zone takes 35,000 HP every 5 seconds. The first hit comes 5 seconds after you arrive. For almost every character that is instant death.

Wearing the Magical Mitten stops it completely. It must be equipped in your weapon slot. Carrying it in your bag does nothing.
Nothing else protects you here. Warming foods and a cape with the Cold Protection scroll only work against El Nath's cold, not in this field.
Super Beginners with the QoL Mastery skill are not affected by the cold.
If you die there, you are sent back to Happyville. See Death and Revival.
Other rules in the field: no Teleport or other movement skills, no summons or summoning sacks, and no Mystic Door.
The snow underfoot is slippery, like El Nath's icy maps.

Getting the Magical Mitten

In Happyville, go to the left end of town. The gift box sits on a raised ledge above Maple Claws, a little to her right and higher up.
Hit the box with ordinary attacks until it opens. It takes a few hits.
When it opens, it drops the Magical Mitten about one time in three. If you get nothing, wait. The box comes back about 30 seconds after it was opened, and you can open it again.
Pick up the Mitten, open your Equip window and put it on. It goes in the weapon slot and replaces your weapon while you wear it. Then talk to Roodolph.
Back in Happyville, you can swap your usual weapon back on.

The Magical Mitten

Magical Mitten is a claw-type weapon. Required level 8, weapon attack 10, no upgrade slots. Any job can wear it.
Item description: "A finely-woven mitten that emits warmth all over those fortunate enough to wear it. Enables one to withstand even the harshest of conditions."
It is an ordinary item, not a Cash Shop item, so it does not expire. It sells to shops for 1,500 Vesos.

★

Different from the original game In the original game the gift box came back only once an hour. In MapleVerse it comes back about 30 seconds after it is opened.

Bill's Christmas Present boxes

Bill stands near the right end of the Extra Frosty Snow Zone. She opens Christmas Present boxes "from the Snowman" for 50 Vesos each and gives you one random prize from the box. Each box colour is its own quest.

How to get the boxes: the Snowman, a level 90 boss in Valley of Snowman in El Nath, drops them. Each box drops a quarter of the time per Snowman kill, and only while you are not already carrying that box. You need the box in your bag before Bill will offer its quest, because the box is what starts the quest.

Steps for each box:

Defeat the Snowman in the Valley of Snowman and pick up a Christmas Present box.
Wear the Magical Mitten, ride Roodolph to the Snow Zone and talk to Bill. Her line names the box you are holding. For the Purple box she says
Hey, that's the Purple box!! You must have defeated the Snowman! Do you want to give me the gift box?— Bill
Accept her offer to remove the item from the box for 50 Vesos.
Bill asks you to talk to her again. Do so, and she takes the box and 50 Vesos and hands you the prize.

The four boxes and what they can give:

Quest	Box	Prizes
Giant Swowman's Purple box	Christmas Present box	One random prize: 100 Red, Orange, White or Blue Potions (the most common), ores (15 Bronze, Steel, Mithril, Adamantium, Orihalcon and the jewel ores; 10 Gold, Diamond or Black Crystal Ore; 4 crystal ores), 100 Pure Water, 30 Elixirs, 50 Melting Cheese, Reindeer Milk, Sunrise Dew or Sunset Dew, or 5 Screws
Giant Snowman's Blue Box	Christmas Present box	The same kinds of prizes (100 Red, White or Blue Potions most common), plus a small chance at one piece of equipment (for example Bronze Crusader Helm, Dark Golden Circlet, Black Maro or Blue Moon Gloves)
Giant Snowman's Red Box	Christmas Present box	100 Watermelon, Red Bean Sundae or Ice Cream Pop (the most common), ores, Elixirs, Pure Water, Screws, a small chance at one weapon or piece of equipment (for example Neocora, Hawkhead, Sparta, Holy Spear, Golden Crow or Steely Throwing-Knives), and a very small chance at an equipment scroll
Giant Snowman's White Box	Christmas Present box	The widest list: everything the Blue and Red boxes can give, including the weapons, equipment and scrolls

★

Different from the original game This was a limited-time Christmas event in the original game, and the box quests could be repeated. In MapleVerse it is open all year and each box quest can be completed once.

Others in the Snow Zone

Happy, the Snow Fairy, stands at the right end. She only chats:
Give me the snow powder if you have any.— Happy
A single Snow Blower stands at the right end. It has 1 HP, does not move or fight back, and gives 20 EXP.

Common problems

You die a few seconds after Roodolph sends you there. You are not wearing the Magical Mitten. Get it from the gift box at the left end of Happyville and equip it as your weapon before you go.
You have the Mitten but still freeze. It must be equipped in the weapon slot, not just carried.
The gift box is gone. Someone opened it. It comes back about 30 seconds later.
You opened the box and got nothing. It drops the Mitten about one time in three. Wait for it to come back and try again.
Is the Mitten from the camera tripod? No. The camera tripod on the Happyville rooftop is for Cliff's Request: it gives the Picture of Rudolph while that quest is open. Every class can hit it, and it answers every swing. The Mitten only comes from the gift box.
Your Cold Protection cape or warm food does not help. They protect you in El Nath only. Here only the Mitten works.
Bill does not offer you a quest. You need to be carrying a Christmas Present box first. The boxes drop from the Snowman in Valley of Snowman.
