The Arctifier is a structure located at the top of
Blizzard Peak in
Icy Peak. To repair the
Arctifier, the player must complete a series of quests that begins with the "Mountain Hopes" quest and ends with the "Peak Weather" quest.
When repaired, the Arctifier introduces a new weather event,
Snowfall. A snowfall occurs when the
Arctifier activates. The player does not have to be nearby. The activation occurs randomly and cannot be influenced by the player. The weather forecast in the player’s menu tablet will show when it is an upcoming weather event.
After completing the "Peak Weather" quest, the player will be able to manually activate the Arctifier once a week by crafting a
Snow Island Stone and placing it into the
Arctifier. Activating a weather machine causes the weather event to happen in a random region. A currently active machine cannot be manually activated until the weather event ends. Manually activating a machine during another weather event will end the other weather event even if they occur in different regions.
Snowfall
Snowfall lasts approximately 15 minutes and what appears during the snowfall depends on where it is falling.
Snow Nul
Snow Nuls will appear during a
snowfall only in
Icy Peak,
Gemstone Mountain,
Seaside Resort, or
Spooky Swamp. When destroyed, each
Snow Nul will drop 1x
Snowdrop. There are 10x
Snow Nul per
snowfall period. They do not regenerate with the use of
Island Bouquets. Even if the player was somewhere else during the snowfall event,
Snow Nuls will stay spawned until the
Snowdrop is collected or replaced by another
snowfall event in the same region!
Snowdrops
Snowdrops are a type of currency obtained by destroying
Snow Nuls during the snowfall. A total of 10x can be collected during a
snowfall.
Critters
When a snowfall occurs in the
Spooky Swamp,
Snow Nul will appear. The player will also be able to catch the
Frost Friend around the region.
Fish
When a snowfall occurs in the
Merry Meadow,
Snow Nul will not appear. The player will be able to catch
Flurry Flyer, which can be found by fishing near the
Merry Meadows Plaza and the southern side of
Merry Meadow.
