Basic information[]

Elfi's Toy Drive was the name of the Christmas event 2017 and also the name of the Christmas event 2019.

In 2017, Elfi's Toy Drive started on December 13th and ended on January 10th 2018.

Elfi's Toy Drive returned on December 3rd 2019 and is supposed to last until January 2020.

The Christmas event that started with update R58 on December 19th 2018 and lasted until January 25th 2019 was called Elfi's Wonderland and included a donation option for the Make A Wish Foundation.

Elfis with their Christmas gifts and the gift thief Frost Trog Troggington are expected to return in December 2020 once again.

Overview[]

In 2017, Elfi's Toy Drive had several aspects, that were partly re-used again in 2019 (except for Elfi's Community Toy Drive):

1. During this Christmas event, instead of the usual daily Login Chests, one Christmas-specific Trog Trap Login Chest can be claimed/unlocked every 4 hours from the main game screen (before entering a game world).

These Trog Trap Login Chests can then be claimed on any game world from the inventory ("bundles") and will always contain 2 Small Trog Traps plus additional useful stuff that is very similar to common Login Chests

2. During the event, Holiday Gifts will randomly appear during (ingame) day and night on blocks of Snow and Ice on all Creativerse game worlds and can be looted - they all contain a random amount (1-15, most often 12-14) of Rescued Toys and a few additional Christmas-themed blocks and/or objects.

In 2019, Holiday Gifts could also occasionally contain 1 Small Trog Trap instead of the stack of Rescued Toys.

3. Small Trog Traps from Trog Trap Login Chests can be placed and will then immediately start timed winter-themed events. The specific event goals differ and are described by onscreen messages. If the announced goal is successfully reached within the set timespan, a Reward Holiday Gift Box will appear afterwards at or next to the spot that the Trog Trap had originally been placed.

4. Reward Holiday Gift Boxes for Small Trog Trap (Tier 1) events randomly contain a few Rescued Toys, useful consumables like Food and/or Potions, uncommon materials, Excavators and/or Extractors of different kinds plus nearly always also 1 Medium Trog Trap.

5. Medium Trog Traps can be placed to immediately start Tier 2 Trog Trap events. Tier 2 events are very similar to Small Trog Trap events, just slightly more difficult. Additional Medium Trog Traps can also optionally be bought from the Store for Coins (the Holiday Trap Pack contains 10 of these traps, the Ultimate Holiday Trap Pack contains 40 Medium Trog Traps). However, the Store will only offer these Trap Packs during Christmas event-times.

6. The Reward Holiday Gift Boxes for Medium Trog Trap events contain even more Rescued Toys and the same random useful stuff like the tier 1 Reward Holiday Gift Boxes, just in higher numbers, as well as (randomly) often 1 Large Trog Trap.

Additionally, some of the Creatures appearing during these event (mainly Troggington's Minions) might sometimes drop Holiday Loot Bags with random winter-themed special content like Snowcubes, Rescued Toys and an assortment of useful items and/or consumables.

7. Large Trog Traps (Tier 3) can once more be placed to immediately start the most difficult winter-themed events. 10 Large Trog Traps can also be bought in the Store as parts of the Ultimate Holiday Trap Pack, but only during Christmas event-times.

8. The Reward Holiday Gift Boxes for these high(est) tier Trog Trap events contain even more Rescued Toys and the assortment of useful items in larger amounts, plus sometimes Medium Trog Traps too.

Again, some of the Creatures appearing during these event (mainly Troggington's Minions and Troggington himself) will sometimes drop Holiday Loot Bags with random winter-themed special content like Snowcubes, Rescued Toys and an assortment of useful items and/or consumables.

9. As long as the Christmas event was ongoing (like the first Elfi's Toy Drive has from December 13th 2017 to January 10th 2018), several Elfis will randomly spawn on a pile of presents during day and night on blocks of Snow and Ice, rarely also on other types of blocks that have been placed on top of Snow or Ice blocks.

Players will be able to find Elfis by following the green Leafi symbol on their compass that pops up whenever an Elfi appears within a certain distance. By travelling the land especially in cold Biomes like frozen Oceans, Taigas, snow-covered Tundras or Mountains, players can make more Elfis spawn

10. Players can "activate" Elfis just like Pets, Storage Chests, Crafting Stations, Doors etc. by pointing the cursor at them, clicking their right mouse button or typing "f" (as the default key). Players can then trade in their Rescued Toy for a number of Christmas-themed rare (tradeable) Recipes and/or Christmas-themed items.

Among the many tradeable items, the rare Jingle Juice and Blizzard Potions can be found - these two potions can not be crafted, they can only be collected during Christmas event-times, just like Bat Juice and Marigold Potions could only be traded from The Great Pumpkirus and Pumpkiru Jr.s during Halloween event-times.

In 2019 though, 5 bottles of Jingle Juice and 5 Blizzard Potions each could be claimed for free infinite times as part of the Elfi's Wonderland Bundle 2018 in the Store.

11. Elfi's Community Toy Drive 2017: whenever a Creativerse player "paid" an Elfi for Christmas-themed Recipes and/or items with Rescued Toys during the Christmas event in 2017, the game counted these Toys and displayed the rising number on a slider to be found in the bottom right corner on the game main screen and on top of the ingame screen right above the inventory window. As soon as certain milestones were reached by the Creativerse player community, certain reward bundles could then be claimed by all players as long as the Christmas event was ongoing.

Elfi's Community Toy Drive was not activated again in 2018 or 2019, instead all the items from the community event were added to Elfi's assortment in order to be traded with Rescued Toys.

12. After the slider had reached 5,000,000 (5 million toys), the Ice Box Bundle could be claimed by each Creativerse player until the end of the event Elfi's Toy Drive on January 10th 2018 by clicking on the left gift box icon on the slider either on the main game screen or ingame after opening the inventory. After unlocking the reward this way, you could then claim the according item bundle on any Creativerse game world from your inventory and you would receive a one-way storage container that looked like a stack of crates and contained the item rewards (2 crafted Frozen Containers, 100 Rescued Toys and 5 animated Holiday Giftboxes with random Christmas-themed items inside).

In 2019, Elfis offered crafted Frozen Containers and their rare seasonal Recipe for trade. This Recipe was not included in any Store bundles in 2018 or 2019.

13. Since the slider had reached 12,000,000 (12 million toys), the Merry Music Bundle could also be claimed/unlocked until January 10th 2018 by clicking on the gift box icon in the middle of the slider. It included another item bundle as well as one more non-tradeable exclusive Christmas-themed crafting recipe - for the nicely animated Holiday Music Box that plays "Jingle Bells" when activated.

In 2018 and 2019, Elfis offered crafted Holiday Music Boxes and their rare seasonal Recipe for trade. Alternatively, the Elfi's Toy Drive Bundle 2017 also included the rare seasonal Recipe for Holiday Music Boxes, but no crafted samples. This bundle was purchasable in 2018, but could be claimed for free in 2019.

14. Since the slider had reached 25,000,000 (25 million toys) on January 3rd 2018, the Snowball Turret Bundle was unlocked by clicking on the right gift box icon until January 10th 2018. It included 2 non-tradeable Halloween-themed crafting recipes this time: for the Snowball Turret (already crafted ones can be bought from Elfi for Toys) and New Years Fireworks, as well as several more items.

In 2018 and 2019, Elfis offered crafted Snowball Turrets, New Years Fireworks and both of their rare seasonal Recipe for trade. Alternatively, the Elfi's Toy Drive Bundle 2017 also included the rare seasonal Recipe for Snowball Turrets and New Years Fireworks, but no crafted samples. This bundle was purchasable in 2018, but could be claimed for free in 2019.

Trog Trap Login Chests[]

Starting with December 13th 2017 and ending on January 10th 2018, and also staring with December 3rd 2019, every Creativerse player got free daily Trog Trap Login Chests when clicking on the respective button labelled "Free Chest" at the left side on the main game screen twice before entering a Creativerse game world.

After claiming one or both of the obtainable Trog Trap Login Chests, 4 hours later another Trog Trap Login Chest became available, and a second Trog Trap Login Chest another 4 hours (8 hours in total) after that. As soon and as long as both Trog Trap Login Chests remained unclaimed in the main game menu, no additional timer for more Trog Trap Login Chests would be active/running, just like it's with the usual daily Login Chests.

When claiming a Trog Trap Login Chest for Elfi's Toy Drive in the main game menu, one of four known variations would be unlocked and then become available in the inventory ingame. They contained the same stuff as common daily Login Chests, plus Trog Traps:

First Trog Trap Login Chest variant[]

This most common Trog Trap Login Chest contains:

Second Trog Trap Login Chest variant[]

This Trog Trap Login Chest contains:

Third Trog Trap Login Chest variant[]

This rather rare Trog Trap Login Chest contains:

Fourth Trog Trap Login Chest variant[]

This very rare Trog Trap Login Chest contains:

If you should experience negative timers for Trog Trap Login Chests during the Christmas event or if you encounter other issues with these Login Chest variants, please report on the bug forums: https://steamcommunity.com/app/280790/discussions/1/

Holiday Gifts[]

Holiday Gifts randomly appear during the Christmas-holiday season (like from December 13th 2017 to January 10th 2018) on blocks of Ice and Snow at (ingame) day and night, additional to the usual randomly spawning Treasure Chests that only rarely appear on Snow and/or Ice during this time. Holiday Gifts might not spawn well (sometimes not at all) during dusk and dawn.

Three variants of Holiday Gifts are known; red, blue and green. Their content is not related to their colors nor places or time of their appearance at all. Moreover, Holiday Gifts (named exactly that ingame) are different from animated Holiday Giftboxes and the craftable storage containers Red Gift Box, Blue Gift Box and Green Gift Box.

To "hunt" Holiday Gifts it's recommended to travel the surface of Creativerse game worlds in cold Biomes like Frozen Oceans, large snowy Mountains, Taigas, snowy Tundras and/or snowy Canyons. These presents will always appear within a certain proximity of player characters, so more of these boxes are able to spawn when players reach new areas and such trigger the spawning of Holiday Gifts.

Please note that Holiday Gifts that spawn in a great distance might not always be visible if you try to look directly at them, but could still appear at the borders of the screen when looking around (happens particularly often with wide screens).

The blue "flashes" and poofing smoke animations that accompany the spawning of Holiday Gifts might sometimes be all that you can see at the spot where the Holiday Gift box itself will only become visible when moving closer to it.

When using your Glider as a "Pro" player, you might want to stay close to the ground, because Holiday Gift boxes can only spawn within a certain proximity around your player character. Holiday Gifts can take a second or a few until they will appear, so they might as well pop up behind your player character after teleporting into an area or landing with a Glider (or after using a Blizzard Potion).

It is possible (but unconfirmed by Playful) that more Holiday Gifts will spawn within an area at a time on game worlds where the "Pro" world option "More Treasure" is enabled.

Holiday Gifts are one-way containers, just like common Loot Bags, Holiday Loot Bags and Treasure Chests, so you cannot put anything inside them. After looting these gift boxes completely, Holiday Gifts will vanish without providing you with the Gift Boxes as containers themselves. When leaving the area for a longer while, any half-looted and unlooted Holiday Gifts will vanish together with their (random) contents without a trace.

Every Holiday Gift during Elfi's Toy Drive event randomly contains 1-15 Rescued Toys (most often 12-14), plus 1 stack to max. 5 stacks of Christmas-themed blocks and/or objects (however no crafting recipes), like:

Please note that any Holiday Gift that you or other players spawn on/with a Loot Spawner will not contain anything except for what you or the players who set up the Loot Spawner have placed into the Loot Spawner inventory window.

Trog Trap Events[]

As soon as a Trog Trap is placed onto the ground, an event will immediately begin. Often the sky and air around the Trog Trap will turn blue all by itself and it will start to snow as long as this particular event lasts. Once placed, Trog Traps cannot be deactivated and they cannot be wired to be activated at a later time.

One of several optional events will be randomly chosen. The main assumption is that the Trog Trap captures Troggington (who has stolen Christmas gifts from Elfis) as soon as the trap closes, and the events are enemy strategies to free Troggington from the trap.

If the player/s fail/s to reach the objective of the specific event, the onscreen messages explain that Troggington has managed to escape from the trap. If the objective is met successfully, Troggington is forced to leave a Reward Holiday Gift Box each that will contain Rescued Toys that Troggington has stolen and could not get away with, together with other useful random items.

The initiated seasonal events can be played alone or together as a team of players. The patch notes claim that the rewards for these events are "instanced" so that everyone who participates in the event should get their own Reward Holiday Gift Box. These reward containers look like typical Holiday Gift boxes but have different contents. They very often do not appear exactly at the same spot where the Trog Trap has been placed, but on a random adjacent block.

All Creatures and objects (poles, targets, piles of snowcubes, reward gift boxes, etc.) that will be summoned by a Trog Trap will be indicated on your compass as one symbol each.

Few of the Trog Trap Event Creatures that players sometimes have to kill during the events will rarely drop special Holiday Loot Bags that will contain items and Rescued Toys similar to the content of spawning Holiday Gifts. Ice Spies will drop no Loot Bags (respectively Holiday Loot Bags) for example, but will just vanish in a puff of smoke, as will spawning Toy Drive Targets that you need to hit with Snowcubes within a specific timespan to win the according events.

Target Arctic Mirus that appear for Snowball Fight events are vulnerable only to Snowcubes and can be eliminated by these throwables, but are immune to physical damage dealt by any melee Weapon. All the other of the Trog Trap Event Creatures (mainly Troggington's Minions) that can be killed with Weapons are immune to elemental damage, but they can usually be stunned with Stun Bombs and pushed away with Snowcubes and Force Bombs.

Tip: choose a place to build an arena for these events somewhere in your game world where nothing else (or at least not much else) has been built or changed underground to avoid lags. Building the arena high up or floating over an ocean is recommended, because in this case you can build a smaller platform that will make it easier to complete some of the events (mainly "Snow 2 Go" and "Present Danger"). Rumors say that building a platform of 17x17 blocks very high up (30 blocks away from everything else) might force all creatures, poles and loot boxes directly in the middle where you should also place the trap.

Snowball Turrets are immensely helpful with events types that require throwing Snowcubes ("Snowball Fight" and "Snowball Target Practice"). Do not place the turrets for too long in advance, but only at the beginning of the events and pick them up as soon as the event is over before they will vanish so you can re-use them. When using Snowball Turrets, make sure that no common Creatures will stay in the arena or within view of sight, nor let common Creatures enter the arena during the events, since the Turrets would waste their (infinite) Snowcubes on these Creatures in that case instead of shooting at Target Arctic Mirus and/or actual Toy Drive Targets.

More Tips: as usual, wear your best armor, equip your best weapon for "King of the Chill", "Get to the Capture" and "Troggington Fights Back". You can use Explosives like Armor-Piercing Bombs, Explosive Bombs and the like too (very recommendable) for these events when fighting Troggington's Minions and Troggington III.

Also do not forget to prepare health regenerating Potions or Food, for example Mushroom Sandwiches that will grant health regeneration and a bonus on your maximum health points for 15 minutes. While the Tier 1 and 2 events "Pining for you" and "Snow 2 go" are completely harmless (plus "Present Danger" as well of course), you might rarely be hit by Blizzard Chizzards during "Ice Spy" events and even by Toy Drive Targets during "Snowball Target Practice".

It is advisable to also put a stack of Advanced Health Potions into your quickbar, then select this slot and use right-click to drink a healing potion during the fight whenever your player character has been hit hard. This might happen during Tier 2 and Tier 3 combat events, especially "King of the Chill", "Get to the Capture" and "Troggington Fights Back".

While the new Jingle Juice also grants health regeneration for 10 minutes and seemingly some sort of cold resistance (not immunity though), it cannot be crafted, but only traded from Elfis.

First-level events initiated by Small Trog Traps[]

Every Creativerse player can take 2 Small Trog Traps ca. every 4 hours from another free claimable Trog Trap Login Chest as long as the event Elfi's Toy Drive is ongoing. After the end of the event, any Trog Traps that are still left or can be obtained in any way after the Christmas event will most likely keep on working like they use to now.

As soon as players manage to accomplish the given event goal, a special Tier 1 Reward Holiday Gift Box will appear that will contain ca. 6-12 Rescued Toys, nearly always 1 Medium Trog Trap plus usually 2 stacks of a few random consumables, materials and/or items like: 1-5 Basic Health Potions, 1-2 Speed Potions, 1-2 Health Regeneration Potions, 1-2 Freeze Resistance Potions, 1-2 Advanced Health Potions, 1-2 Crystal Shards, 1-2 Infused Crystals, 1-2 Fire Bombs, 1-2 Freeze Bombs, 1-2 Force Bombs, 1-2 Basic Extractors, 1-2 Advanced Extractors, 1-2 Basic Excavators, 1-2 Advanced Excavators, 1-2 Super Excavators, 1-2 Questionable Jerkys, 1-2 Blizzard Chizzard Eggs, 1-2 Gingerbread Loaves, 1-2 Frigid Pies, 1-2 Frigid Sandwiches, 1-2 Frigid Soups, 1-2 Arctek Lanterns, 1-2 Grand Arctek Lanterns and/or other items like that.

Known Small Trog Trap events[]

Ice Spy (Tier 1) with 3 spies[]

Three waves of 4-6 Creatures - only Leafies and Blizzard Chizzards wearing Pet Accessories - will spawn one after another within a certain proximity around the Small Trog Trap. The first wave often consists of 4, the second of 5 and the third wave of 6 Creatures altogether. One of these Creatures of each wave is said to be Ice Spies working for Troggington and aiming to set him free. So one Creature of each spawning group has to be identified as a "spy" and killed. Onscreen messages will tell you which type of Creature the "spy" is that you should kill, and which type of hat and/or bow tie the spy is wearing (sometimes Ice Spies will wear only one of these accessories). During the easy Tier 1 events, spies most often wear pointed red and white Holiday Pet Hats. Tier 1 events will give you ca. 1 minute to defeat all 3 Ice Spies.

Tip: first look for the type of Creature with the specific hat that you need to find (Leafi or Blizzard Chizzard), or check for Creatures that do not wear any hats if this is the description of the spy, then check for the bow ties because these are more difficult to spot.

Ice Spies require 3 hits with any weapon, no matter if a Lumite Sword, Diamond Sword, Iron Sword, Obsidian Sword, Stone Sword, Wood Sword or even an indestructible Twig (that doesn't lose durability) to be eliminated. Different from the red ghostly Creatures that spawned during the Halloween-events of Pumpkiru's Candy Campaign, the "spies" will reduce the durability of the melee weapon that you'll use to fight them though. Ice Spies do not ever seem to drop any Loot Bags (respectively Holiday Loot Bags) of their own.

In Tier 1 Ice Spy events, Leafis will attempt to flee without fighting back, but Blizzard Chizzards will defend themselves when being attacked and are occasionally able to deal cold damage over time for ca. 9 seconds. Often, Blizzard Chizzard spies are the ones that do not wander around, but stay at their spot. Red icons on the compass will show you where all the Creatures are, but will not point out the spy itself.

Snowball Fight (Tier 1 in 4 waves)[]

First, several piles of 3-4 Snowcubes each will appear at once within a certain proximity around the Small Trog Trap so you can collect them. When collecting them all, you should be provided with ca. 30-40 Snowcubes. These staples are indicated on your compass with distinctive icons looking like very small Snowcube piles. Ca. 15 seconds later, the first of four waves consisting of ca. 3-6 special Target Arctic Mirus (most often 5) wearing dark blue holiday hats will spawn. Even though 5 waves of Arctic Mirus are announced, only 4 waves will actually spawn.

You are supposed to hit all of the Target Arctic Mirus with well-aimed Snowcubes, thrown from a stack of Snowcubes in your quickbar by clicking your right mouse button. Try to defeat of them all within the time span that is displayed on screen. For Tier 1 events you will have usually a bit more than 1 minute starting with the spawning of the first wave. But be careful, since these special Arctic Mirus can throw Snowcubes at you too from a distance (different from their common non-event brethren that can only use close combat attacks). Their hits will push your player character upwards and back, as well as deal cold damage over time for 4 seconds - or even longer if several of their Snowcubes are able to hit you.

Tip: prepare any kind of health regenerating Potion or Food that you can consume when this event starts; for example Mushroom Sandwiches. Eating a Frigid Soup, Frigid Sandwich or Frigid Pie (occasionally found in Reward Holiday Gift Boxes) is the second best alternative, since this will reverse any cold damage taken into healing over time.

In general it's always recommended to prepare at least one stack of Advanced Health Potions in your quickbar and also prepare a stack of Snowcubes even before starting any Trog Trap events. To craft Snowcubes, simply put blocks of Snow into a Processor.

Another Tip: Placing Snowball Turrets on the ground during this event is very recommended, they are of great help with events like this one (and even more so for "Snowball Target Practice"s).

You can buy Snowball Turrets from Elfis that spawn in cold biomes during the Christmas event (like from December 13th 2017 to January 10th 2018), 5 Snowball Turrets will "cost" 50 Rescued Toys. Pick the Turrets up before 90 seconds are over, then you can re-use them! Snowball Turrets have become craftable after the third reward bundle of Elfi's Community Toy Drive was unlocked with 25 million Toys on January 3rd 2018, but only for players who have then claimed the Snowball Turret Bundle until January 10th 2018.

Target Arctic Mirus are vulnerable only to Snowcubes (the very opposite of common Arctic Mirus that are completely immune against cold damage, and also very different from Miru Minions (belonging to Troggington's Minions) for Trog Trap Events of higher tiers).

Try to hit the upper part of these Target Arctic Mirus (different from when you're throwing Explosives at Creatures), since you might miss these special event Mirus easily if you aim too low. It seems like Target Arctic Mirus do not always take damage, like during the second while they are spawning, and sometimes while they throw a Snowcube themselves. Unfortunately they never seem to drop any Loot Bags (respectively Holiday Loot Bags), just like the Creatures during the "Ice Spy" events.

Moreover, Target Arctic Mirus won't show their names if you point your cursor at them. If you hit them with melee weapons or common Explosives, they will not take any damage at all. However, these Target Arctic Mirus can actually hit and eliminate each other with their Snowcubes by accident when aiming straight at you, so you might be able to use this to your advantage by running around them and making them get into each other's way. Again, red compass markers will show you where each Target Arctic Miru is positioned.

Snowball Target Practice (Tier 1 with large targets)[]

First, several piles of 3-4 Snowcubes each will appear at once within a certain proximity around the Small Trog Trap so you can collect your "weapons". When collecting them all, you should be provided with ca. 25-30 Snowcubes (less than for "Snowball Fight"). Snowcube piles are indicated on your compass with their own small icons again. Ca. 15 seconds later, the first of eight waves consisting of ca. 1-4 red-and-white Toy Drive Targets (most often 2). Targets for tier 1 have large discs and are one-sized, close to the ground.

You are supposed to hit all of the Toy Drive Targets with well-aimed Snowcubes as quickly as you can, thrown from a stack of Snowcubes in your quickbar by clicking your right mouse button. Try to hit them all within the time span that is displayed on screen. For Tier 1 events you will be granted only a bit less than 1 minute starting with the spawning of the first target/s. Toy Drive Targets won't throw Snowcubes at you like Target Arctic Mirus do during "Snowball Fight" events, but if you get very close to a Toy Drive Target, it actually will hit your player character! This will almost always deal cold damage over time for 3-4 seconds and will push your player character upwards and back as well.

Tip: best prepare at least one stack of Snowcubes even before starting any Trog Trap events, so you won't run out of Snowcubes for this event. To craft Snowcubes, simply put blocks of Snow into a Processor.

Placing Snowball Turrets on the ground during this event is extremely recommended! Snowball Turrets are of immense help with events like this one (and also for "Snowball Fight"s with Target Arctic Mirus). You can buy Snowball Turrets from Elfis that spawn in cold biomes during the Christmas event (like from December 13th 2017 to January 10th 2018), 5 Snowball Turrets will "cost" 50 Rescued Toys. Pick the Turrets up before 90 seconds are over, then you can re-use them! Snowball Turrets have become craftable after the third reward bundle of Elfi's Community Toy Drive was unlocked with 25 million Toys on January 3rd 2018 for those who claimed the Snowball Turret Bundle until January 10th 2018.

Toy Drive Targets are "vulnerable" only to Snowcubes. Remember that Snowcubes fly in an arch when aiming at the targets! These targets of course never drop any Loot Bags (respectively Holiday Loot Bags), since they aren't Creatures. Even if you attempt to hit them with melee weapons, Toy Drive Targets won't take any damage at all. Red compass markers will indicate where each target is positioned.

If you do not get very close to any of the Toy Drive Targets, you won't even need any armor nor health regeneration/healing measures for this event.

Snow 2 Go (Tier 1 with 10 capture points)[]

5 seconds after the event has been announced, a candy-cane-colored pole with a sky blue sphere on it will spawn somewhere in a rather large proximity around the Small Trog Trap. You will have a bit more than 1 minute (nearly 90 seconds) to "capture" 10 of these poles that will spawn one after another.

Each pole has a red "force field" around it that you are supposed to enter, which will cause the blue sphere to rise on the pole. You will have to stay there until the blue sphere has reached the top. A small diamond-shaped gauge in the middle of your screen will turn from red to blue, displaying a number of 0% to 100% (often "jumping" from 0 to 50 and then to 100 quickly), ending with a large system message saying "Point captured!".

This will make sure that you will know when to leave the close vicinity of the pole and run to the next pole that will spawn. You should hurry and run to the next "capture pole" as soon as the message appears. Check the lilac colored flags on your compass that will lead you to the next pole quickly.

Even though the red force-field-like "capture spheres" of the 10 poles seem to be rather large, the blue sphere might only actually start to ascend if you stand next to the pole. The gauge might be reacting a bit slow or only "stuttering" sometimes, and sometimes the sphere won't budge if you step directly "into" the pole, since the poles do not have a collision texture. If you walk away from the pole too soon, the gauge will display "losing" (instead of "capturing" or "captured") in order to tell you that you should get closer to the pole.

During these events, no enemies will show up that would try to hinder you from "capturing" the points. Still you should make sure to run to the next appearing pole as fast as you can, since the available timespan for finishing the event successfully is really short. You might even want to consider using Speed Potions for this event.

Pining For You (Tier 1)[]

5 seconds after the event has been announced, ca. 10 Pine Trees (maybe randomly up to 12) will spawn within a certain proximity around the Trog Trap, looking like undecorated Holiday Decorative Trees. You now have a little less than 1 minute to "chop" these trees down that will each require 4 hits with any melee weapon, no matter if you'll use a Lumite Sword, Diamond Sword, Iron Sword, Obsidian Sword, Stone Sword, Wood Sword or an indestructible Twig (that doesn't lose durability).

Pine Trees do not fight back and will not drop any Loot Bags (respectively Holiday Loot Bags). They will merely distract you with the fresh smell of pine and attempt to hide Troggington so that he can escape from your trap. Red compass markers will indicate where each of these trees is positioned. If Pine Trees should spawn on flat objects like Wood Signs or Switches due to bad luck, they might become invulnerable though, preventing you from completing the event successfully.

King of the Chill (Tier 1 ?)[]

This event has been reported by certain players to be rarely initiated by Small Trog Traps. Unfortunately I cannot confirm this after playing through hundreds of Small Trog Trap events. These "King of the Chill" tier 1 events are supposed to consist of 3-4 rounds of a few Troggington's Minions that will spawn and attack you while you have to stay close to candy-cane-colored capture poles for a few seconds each until they have been fully activated and the next pole will spawn elsewhere within a certain proximity around the Trog Trap. Actually, this description resembles "Get to the Capture" events that are sometimes initiated when either Medium Trog Traps or Large Trog Traps are being placed, while the "King of the Chill" events tier 2 and 3 ask you stay close to the Trog Trap while defeating all spawning Troggington's Minions within the set timespan (let them stay alive within the blue capture zone around the Trog Trap for too long and you lose).

Second-level events initiated by Medium Trog Traps []

The second difficulty level of challenges can be taken on after obtaining Medium Trog Traps - either from most Reward Holiday Gift Boxes after successfully completing events that were started by Small Trog Traps, or by buying Medium Trog Traps in the Store for Coins as part of the Holiday Trap Pack (10 Traps) or the Ultimate Holiday Trap Pack (40 Traps).

As soon as players manage to accomplish the given event goal, a special Tier 2 Reward Holiday Gift Box will appear that will contain ca. 11-14 Rescued Toys, occasionally 1 Large Trog Trap plus 3-8 stacks of a few random consumables, materials and/or items like: 1-5 Basic Health Potions, 1-2 Speed Potions, 1-2 Health Regeneration Potions, 1-2 Freeze Resistance Potions, 1-2 Advanced Health Potions, 1-2 Crystal Shards, 1-2 Infused Crystals, 1-2 Fire Bombs, 1-2 Freeze Bombs, 1-2 Force Bombs, 1-2 Basic Extractors, 1-2 Advanced Extractors, 1-2 Basic Excavators, 1-2 Advanced Excavators, 1-2 Super Excavators, 1-2 Questionable Jerkys, 1-2 Blizzard Chizzard Eggs, 1-2 Gingerbread Loaves, 1-2 Frigid Pies, 1-2 Frigid Sandwiches, 1-2 Frigid Soups, 1-2 Arctek Lanterns, 1-2 Grand Arctek Lanterns and/or other items like that.

Known Medium Trog Trap events[]

Get to the Capture (Tier 1 with 5 capture points)[]

Even though the onscreen description of this event says "Secure the area around the trap! Don't let Troggington's Minions gain any ground.", the real objective of this event is to stay close to 5 "Capture Points" spawning one after another looking like candy-cane-colored poles for long enough to let the blue spheres on them ascend from the center to the top. You don't have to hit the Capture Points nor click on them.

You will simply need to stay within the red force-field-like "capture zone" around the freshly spawned Capture Point pole for ca. 12 seconds while the blue sphere is rising. Five of these poles will spawn one after another within a certain proximity around the Trog Trap. You only have ca. 2 minutes in total to make sure that all 5 capture points are "secured" by letting their blue spheres reach the top. Since each of them only takes 12 seconds to rise up, this should only take a minute and a bit of running up to each of the poles.

First problem is that the capture zones do not always react properly to a player character's presence or the blue spheres might rise extremely slowly even if you stay very close to the pole (might be related to connection issues). The other - intended - obstacle is that either one or (more often) two more aggressive Creatures will spawn ca. every 20 seconds (up to 10 in total if you don't defeat any of them during the event), mainly Blizzard Chizzards called "Chizzard Minions", but also a few Arctic Mirus called "Miru Minions". All of them are Troggington's Minions and not to be mistaken with Target Arctic Mirus.

For example, ca. at 1:58 two Chizzard Minions might spawn, then two more (or one Chizzard Minion together with a Miru Minion) at 1:38 (to 1:36), two more Chizzard Minions at 1:17 (to 1:13), two Miru Minions together with one Chizzard Minion (or two Chizzard Minions again) at 0:58 (to 0:55), and at last one or two more Chizzard Minions at 0:38. Rarely two Miru Minions or even three Minions might appear together at a time though.

Troggington's Minions will attack you. Each sphere will need ca. 12 seconds to rise to the top of its pole, but each time that you will be pushed out of the red force-field-like "capture zone" by a Creature, the ascending of the blue sphere will not only stop, but even be reversed, truthfully reflected by the percentage displayed on the red-blue diamond-shaped gauge in the middle of your screen.

Chizzard Minions have the exact same combat skills like common Blizzard Chizzards, dealing cold damage over time for up to 7 seconds occasionally when hitting your player character, but also using their "dive attack" to push you away, which will hinder you to keep on "securing" the capture pole. Even worse, sometimes these Creatures are able to stun your player character, rendering you unable to do anything for 3-5 seconds, often while your player character is also pushed out of the red capture zone of the poles at the same time. They require 9 hits dealt with a Lumite level sword to be killed.

Miru Minions will throw Snowcubes at you that can also push your player character back and out of the "capture zone" as well as sometimes deal cold damage over time for 4 seconds as well. They require 5 hits by a Lumite level sword to be killed.

All Troggington's Minions are vulnerable to any type of swords/melee weapons and also Explosives like Armor-Piercing Bombs or Explosive Bombs for example; and they can also be stunned by Stun Bombs. It is absolutely recommended to make use of Explosives as often as you can while "securing" the capture points, since Explosives have an area effect and can get rid of several Creatures at once, different to melee weapons (that you can use for fighting the closest enemies at the very same time too). You can use Snowcubes too, but unfortunately these won't deal much damage during this event.

As some sort of compensation, Troggington's Minions are able to drop Holiday Loot Bags filled with items similar to the contents of Reward Holiday Gift Boxes minus any Trog Traps.

It is recommended to wear your best armor, equip your best weapon, carry a stack of Advanced Health Potions in your quickbar and prepare health regenerating Potions or Food, for example Mushroom Sandwiches beforehand, that will grant health regeneration and a bonus on your maximum health points for 15 minutes.

Ice Spy (Tier 2 with 4 spies)[]

Four waves of 5-6 Creatures - Leafies and/or Blizzard Chizzards wearing Pet Accessories - will spawn one after another within a certain proximity around the Medium Trog Trap. One of these Creatures of each wave has to be identified and killed, since they are said to be Ice Spies working for Troggington aiming to set him free. Onscreen messages will tell you which type of Creature the "spy" is that you should kill, and which type of hat and/or bow tie the spy is wearing (sometimes Ice Spies will wear only one of these accessories).

This time, the descriptions of Ice Spies are not as detailed as for tier 1 events, but will still name the type of Creature and its accessories accurately. If a Creature is depicted as "I don't like the look of that Leafi/Chizzard in the holiday hat" or "They say that the spy is a Leafi/Chizzard in only a holiday hat", this Creature usually ONLY wears a holiday hat, but no bow tie (and vice versa - "only a bow tie" means "no hat").

Sometimes the description on the bottom of your screen will not specify the type of Creature you should be looking for while the message at the left border of your screen will be more specific, but usually only one type (either Leafis or Blizzard Chizzards) will spawn during such a wave anyways.

Tier 2 events will give you ca. 1 minute to defeat all 4 Ice Spies. During Tier 2 events, spies will only sometimes be the ones that wear pointed red and white Holiday Pet Hats. More often they will either be Leafis or Blizzard Chizzards wearing either only a Top Hat or only a Bow Tie (of any color). Sometimes, only a bunch of Leafis will spawn, at other times only Blizzard Chizzards might spawn. Tip: again it's recommended to first look for the type of Creature with the specific hat that you need to find (Leafi or Blizzard Chizzard), or check for Creatures that do not wear any hats if this is the description of the spy, and then check for the bow ties because these are more difficult to spot.

Ice Spies require 3 hits with any weapon, no matter if a Lumite Sword, Diamond Sword, Iron Sword, Obsidian Sword, Stone Sword, Wood Sword or even an indestructible Twig (that doesn't lose durability) to be eliminated. Different from the red ghostly Creatures that spawned during the Halloween-events of Pumpkiru's Candy Campaign, the "spies" will reduce the durability of the melee weapon that you'll use to fight them though. Ice Spies do not ever seem to drop any Loot Bags (respectively Holiday Loot Bags) of their own.

Leafis will again only attempt to flee without fighting back, but Blizzard Chizzards will defend themselves when being attacked and are occasionally able to deal cold damage over time for ca. 9 seconds. Red icons on the compass will show you where all the Creatures are, but will not point out the spy itself in any specific way.

Snowball Target Practice (Tier 2 with small and large targets at different heights)[]

Like for Tier 1 Snowball Target Practice, 5 seconds after the announcement of the event type, several piles of 3-4 Snowcubes each will appear at once within a certain proximity around the Medium Trog Trap so you can collect these ranged "weapons". When collecting them all, you should have been provided with ca. 25-30 Snowcubes in total (again, less than for "Snowball Fight"). Snowcube piles are indicated on your compass with their own small icons once again.

Ca. 15 seconds later, the first of eight waves consisting of ca. 2-4 red-and-white Toy Drive Targets will spawn. These targets for tier 2 often have smaller discs than for tier 1, some of them are positioned higher up with longer poles and such harder to hit properly.

Again you are supposed to hit all of the Toy Drive Targets with well-aimed Snowcubes, thrown from a stack of Snowcubes in your quickbar by clicking your right mouse button. Try to hit them all within the time span that is displayed on screen. For Tier 2 events you will also be granted only a bit less than 1 minute starting with the spawning of the first target/s. Toy Drive Targets will again hit your player character if you get very close to them. This will almost always deal cold damage over time for 3-4 seconds and will push your player character upwards and back as well.

As before, it is recommended to prepare at least one stack of Snowcubes even before starting any Trog Trap events. To craft Snowcubes, simply put blocks of Snow into a Processor. Placing Snowball Turrets on the ground during this event is extremely recommended, they are of great help with events like this one (and also for "Snowball Fight"s).

You can buy Snowball Turrets from Elfis that spawn in cold biomes during the Christmas event (like from December 13th 2017 to January 10th 2018), 5 Snowball Turrets will "cost" 50 Rescued Toys. Pick the Turrets up before 90 seconds are over, then you can re-use them! Snowball Turrets have become craftable after the third reward bundle of Elfi's Community Toy Drive was unlocked with 25 million Toys on January 3rd 2018 for those who claimed the Snowball Turret Bundle until January 10th 2018.

Toy Drive Targets are "vulnerable" only to Snowcubes. Remember that Snowcubes fly in an arch when aiming at the targets. Toy Drive Targets of course never drop any Loot Bags (respectively Holiday Loot Bags), since they aren't Creatures. Even if you attempt to hit Toy Drive Targets with melee weapons, they won't take any damage at all. Red compass markers will indicate where each target is positioned.

"Snowball Target Practice" tier 2 is sometimes only rewarded with a Medium Trog Trap.

If you do not get very close to any of the Toy Drive Targets, you won't need to use up any health regenerating or healing measures.

Snowball Fight (Tier 2)[]

This event has been reported by certain players to be rarely initiated by Medium Trog Traps just like they can be initiated by Small Trog Traps too. However, I cannot confirm this yet, even after playing through dozens of Medium Trog Trap events. They are supposed to be similar to Snowball Fight Tier 1 events, which means that 30-40 Snowcubes should be obtainable from Snowcube piles at the beginning of the event again, after which five waves consisting of ca. 3-6 Target Arctic Mirus (most often 5) wearing dark blue holiday hats should spawn that you will then have to defeat within a little more than 1 minute with well-aimed Snowcubes thrown from a stack in your quickbar by clicking your right mouse button. If this event should occur, placing Snowball Turrets on the ground during this event is very recommended once again, along with any health regenerating Potion or Food that you can consume when this event starts; for example Mushroom Sandwiches.

Snow 3 Go (Tier 2 with 15 "smaller" capture points)[]

Similar to "Snow 2 Go", 5 seconds after the event has been announced, a candy-cane-colored pole with a sky blue sphere on it will spawn somewhere in a rather large proximity around the Medium Trog Trap. You will have a bit more than 1 minute again (nearly, but not fully 90 seconds) to "capture" 15 of these poles that will spawn one after another.

Each pole has a red "force field" around it again that you are supposed to enter, which will cause the blue sphere to rise on the pole. As for "Snow 2 Go" you will have to stay there until the blue sphere has reached the top. A small diamond-shaped gauge in the middle of your screen will turn from red to blue, displaying the percentage of success from 0% to 100%, ending with a large system message saying "Point captured!" to make sure that you will know when to leave the close vicinity of the pole and run to the next pole that will spawn. You should hurry and run to the next "capture pole" as soon as the message appears. Check the lilac colored flags on your compass that will lead you to the next pole quickly.

For tier 2 events, the red force-field-like "capture spheres" of the 15 poles are significantly smaller than for tier 1 events. However, the blue sphere often only actually starts to ascend if you stand very close to the pole. Beware of stepping directly "into" the pole though, since this might prevent the event from noticing your player character, and the poles do not have a collision texture. If you walk away from the pole too soon, the gauge will display "losing" (instead of "capturing" or "captured") in order to tell you that you should get closer to the pole. If you stay away, the blue sphere might actually drop on the capture pole while the percentage number is decreasing on the gauge.

During this type of events, no enemies will show up that would try to hinder you from "capturing" the points. Still you have to run to the next spawning capture pole as fast as you can, since the available timespan for finishing the event successfully is very short. You might want to use a Speed Potion for this event. Sometimes bugs can occur that will let the blue spheres react extremely reluctantly or very swiftly and only at the borders of the red force-field-like "capture zones" though, rendering them impossible to complete successfully.

"Snow 3 Go" is sometimes only rewarded with a Medium Trog Trap.

Pining For You (Tier 2)[]

This event is nearly the same as if it were initiated with a Small Trog Trap and is also always rewarded with a Medium Trog Trap instead of a Large Trog Trap.

5 seconds after the event has been announced, ca. 15 Pine Trees will spawn within a certain proximity around the Trog Trap, looking like undecorated Holiday Decorative Trees. You now have ca. 1 minute to "chop" these trees down that will each require 4 hits with any melee weapon, no matter if you'll use a Lumite Sword, Diamond Sword, Iron Sword, Obsidian Sword, Stone Sword, Wood Sword or an indestructible Twig (that doesn't lose durability).

Pine Trees do not fight back and will not drop any Loot Bags (respectively Holiday Loot Bags). They will merely distract you with the fresh smell of pine and "attempt to hide Troggington" so that he can escape from the trap. Red compass markers will indicate where each of these trees is positioned. If Pine Trees should spawn on flat objects like Wood Signs or Switches due to bad luck, they might become invulnerable though, preventing you from completing the event successfully.

King of the Chill (Tier 2?)[]

Even though the onscreen description of this event says "Don't let Troggington's Minions capture the control point!", the real objective of this event is to defeat all of the spawning Minions around the Medium Trog Trap for ca. 1,5 minutes (or rather 100 seconds).

Aggressive Creatures will spawn ca. every 20-30 seconds, for example starting with one Blizzard Chizzard called "Chizzard Minion" at ca. 1:38, then additionally a Rambeau called "Rambeau Minion" at 1:13, a blue-green colored Warmworm called "Coolworm Minion together with a Chizzard Minion at 0:48 and another Coolworm and Rambeau Minion at ca. 0:18. Occasionally, even more Minions could randomly spawn.

All of these Creatures are wearing dark blue Holiday Pet Hats (that they will not drop when dying) and are a bit larger than their common non-event brethren. As soon as the aggressive Creatures are starting to spawn, the message on the bottom of your screen will say "Secure that control point! Troggington's Minions are invading". All of these minions will attack you and are able to deal cold damage over time for 3-4 seconds (Chizzard Minions for 7+ seconds even) occasionally when hitting your player character.

Chizzard Minions have the exact same combat skills like common Blizzard Chizzards, rarely dealing cold damage over time for up to 7 seconds occasionally when hitting your player character, especially when they use their "dive attack" to push yor player character back. Even worse, sometimes these Creatures are able to stun your player character, rendering you unable to do anything for 3-5 seconds while your player character is also pushed back at the same time. Chizzard Minions require 9 hits by a Lumite level sword to be killed.

Rambeau Minions will attempt to push your player character back and can also deal cold damage over time for 3 seconds occasionally. Just like Miru Minions, they require 5 hits of a Lumite level sword to be killed.

Coolworm Minions can spit a frost fountain similar to the lava fountain of common Warmworms, but the frost fountains of Coolworms will deal cold damage over time. They require 8 hits by a Lumite level sword to be killed.

All of these Minions are vulnerable to any type of swords/melee weapons and also Explosives like Armor-Piercing Bombs or Explosive Bombs for example; and they can be stunned by Stun Bombs too. It is absolutely recommended to make use of Explosives as often as you can, since Explosives have an area effect and can get rid of several Creatures at once, different to melee weapons (that you can use for fighting the closest enemies at the very same time too). You can use Snowcubes too in principle, but unfortunately these won't deal much damage during this event.

This time, the diamond-shaped gauge in the middle of your screen will be light blue at first and display 0%, saying "capturing", while changing to "losing" each time a Creature enters the blue force-field-like "capture zone" around the Trog Trap. The percentage will rise as long as Creatures are alive in close proximity of the Medium Trog Trap, slowly changing to a red color from bottom to top while rising, and if the percentage displayed should reach 100%, you will have lost the event.

Troggington's Minions are able to drop Holiday Loot Bags filled with items similar to the contents of Reward Holiday Gift Boxes minus any Trog Traps.

It is recommended to wear your best armor, equip your best weapon, carry a stack of Advanced Health Potions in your quickbar and prepare health regenerating Potions or Food, for example Mushroom Sandwiches beforehand, that will grant health regeneration and a bonus on your maximum health points for 15 minutes.

Present Danger (Tier 1, 13-15 seconds for 9-10 gift boxes)[]

The messages at the beginning of the event explain the objective well enough; "Collect as much loot as you can before time runs out." , and: "HAHAHA! Lucky you - Today's forecast has a 95% chance of loot. How many can you grab? Giftboxes galore!".

Shortly after this message, 9-10 colorful Holiday Gifts will spawn, some of which will also contain small stacks of crafted Christmas-themed items like Gingerbread Walls, Molasses, Holiday Lights and the like. These presents seemingly never contain any Trog Traps, but they often contain Rescued Toys.

Unfortunately the presents will only be available for ca. 13 seconds, so you will have to hurry to loot as many of them in time as you can. Of course, no additional Reward Holiday Gift Box will appear at the end of this event.

Third-level events initiated by Large Trog Traps []

Large Trog Traps will start high-tier events immediately when being placed. 10 Large Trog Traps can either be found in Tier 2 Reward Holiday Gift Boxes or can be bought with Coins in the Store as part of the Ultimate Holiday Trap Pack.

As soon as players manage to accomplish the given event goal, a special Tier 3 Reward Holiday Gift Box will appear that will contain up to 33 or more Rescued Toys, rarely 1 Medium Trog Trap plus usually 5-8 stacks of a few random consumables, materials and/or items like: 1-5 Basic Health Potions, 1-2 Speed Potions, 1-2 Health Regeneration Potions, 1-2 Freeze Resistance Potions, 1-2 Advanced Health Potions, 1-2 Crystal Shards, 1-2 Infused Crystals, 1-2 Fire Bombs, 1-2 Freeze Bombs, 1-2 Force Bombs, 1-2 Basic Extractors, 1-2 Advanced Extractors, 1-2 Basic Excavators, 1-2 Advanced Excavators, 1-2 Super Excavators, 1-2 Questionable Jerkys, 1-2 Blizzard Chizzard Eggs, 1-2 Gingerbread Loaves, 1-2 Frigid Pies, 1-2 Frigid Sandwiches, 1-2 Frigid Soups, 1-2 Arctek Lanterns, 1-2 Grand Arctek Lanterns and/or other items like that.

Known Large Trog Trap events[]

Ice Spy (Tier 3 with 5 spies)[]

Five waves of 5-6 Creatures - Leafies and/or Blizzard Chizzards wearing Pet Accessories - will spawn one after another within a certain proximity around the Large Trog Trap. One of these Creatures of each wave has to be identified and killed. Onscreen messages will tell you which type of Creature the "spy" is that you should kill, and which type of hat and/or bow tie the spy is wearing (sometimes Ice Spies will wear only one of these accessories).

These tier 3 events will again grant you ca. 1 minute of time to defeat all 5 Ice Spies. The descriptions of spies are a bit different from tier 1 and 2 events. They often describe the specific colors of hats and/or bowties that the "spy" is wearing, but the description on the bottom of your screen will not specify the type of Creature that you should be looking for. This time the message at the left border of your screen will also not be more specific, both will only say "the spy is wearing..." or "the spy is the one wearing...".

Sometimes only a bunch of Leafis will spawn, at other times only Blizzard Chizzards will spawn, but often both types will spawn, while the description of the spy still won't specify the sought-after Creature type. If only a bow tie is mentioned, then the spy does not wear any type of hat, and if only the hat is specified, the spy doesn't wear a bow tie.

Ice Spies once again require 3 hits with any weapon, no matter if a Lumite Sword, Diamond Sword, Iron Sword, Obsidian Sword, Stone Sword, Wood Sword or even an indestructible Twig (that doesn't lose durability) to be eliminated. Different from the red ghostly Creatures that spawned during the Halloween-events of Pumpkiru's Candy Campaign, the "spies" will reduce the durability of the melee weapon that you'll use to fight them though. Ice Spies do not ever seem to drop any Loot Bags (respectively Holiday Loot Bags) of their own.

Leafis will again only attempt to flee without fighting back, but Blizzard Chizzards will defend themselves when being attacked and are occasionally able to deal cold damage over time for ca. 9 seconds. Red icons on the compass will show you where all the Creatures are, but will not point out the spy itself in any specific way.

Get to the Capture (Tier 2 with 6 capture points)[]

Even though the onscreen description of this event says "Secure the area around the trap! Don't let Troggington's Minions gain any ground." again, the real objective of this event is to stay close to 6 "capture points" that will spawn one after another looking like candy-cane-colored poles for long enough to let the blue spheres on them ascend from the center to the top.

You only have ca. 2 minutes in total to make sure that all 6 capture points are "secured" by letting their blue spheres reach the top. After one point is "captured", if you could manage to stay within the red force-field-like "capture zone" around the pole for ca. 12 seconds while the blue sphere is rising, the next of six poles in total will spawn within a certain proximity around the Trog Trap.

First problem is that the capture zones do not always react properly to a player character's presence or the blue spheres might rise extremely slowly even if you stay very close to the pole (might be related to connection issues). The other - intended - obstacle is that either two or more aggressive Creatures wearing dark blue holiday hats will spawn ca. every 20 seconds (up to 12 in total if you don't defeat any of them during the event), mainly Blizzard Chizzards called "Chizzard Minions", but also Arctic Mirus called "Miru Minions" and Rambeaus called Rambeau Minions - all of them being Troggington's Minions, not to be mistaken with Target Arctic Mirus.

At first, two Chizzard Minions might spawn at 1:58, next either two more of them (or one Chizzard Minion and a Miru Minion) at 1:38, often followed by a Rambeau Minion and another Chizzard Minion (or Miru Minion) at 1:15, then two more Chizzard Minions shortly after, while at 0:58 two Miru Minions might appear, plus two more Miru Minions and another Rambeau Minion at 0:28.

Troggington's Minions will attack you. Each sphere will usually only need ca. 12 seconds to rise to the top of the pole, but each time that you will be pushed out of the red force-field-like "capture zone" by a Creature, the ascending of the blue sphere will not only stop, but even be reversed, documented by the percentage displayed on the diamond-shaped gauge in the middle of your screen that changes from red to light blue while the blue sphere is ascending.

Chizzard Minions have the exact same combat skills like common Blizzard Chizzards, rarely dealing cold damage over time for up to 7 seconds occasionally when hitting your player character, especially when they use their "dive attack" to push yor player character back. Even worse, sometimes these Creatures are able to stun your player character, rendering you unable to do anything for 3-5 seconds while your player character is also pushed back at the same time. Chizzard Minions require 9 hits by a Lumite level sword to be killed.

Miru Minions will throw Snowcubes at you that can also push your player character back, as well as sometimes are able to deal cold damage over time for 4 seconds. They require 5 hits dealt with a Lumite level sword to be killed.

Rambeau Minions will attempt to push your player character back and can also deal cold damage over time for 3 seconds occasionally. Just like Miru Minions, they require 5 hits of a Lumite level sword to be killed.

Coolworm Minions can spit a frost fountain similar to the lava fountain of common Warmworms, but the frost fountains of Coolworms will deal cold damage over time. They require 8 hits by a Lumite level sword to be killed.

All of Troggington's Minions are vulnerable to any type of swords/melee weapons and also Explosives like Armor-Piercing Bombs or Explosive Bombs for example; and they can also be stunned by Stun Bombs. It is absolutely recommended to make use of Explosives as often as you can while "securing" the capture points, since Explosives have an area effect and can get rid of several Creatures at once, different to melee weapons (that you can use for fighting the closest enemies at the very same time too). You can use Snowcubes too, but unfortunately these won't deal much damage during this event.

Troggington's Minions can drop Holiday Loot Bags filled with items similar to the contents of Reward Holiday Gift Boxes minus any Trog Traps.

It is recommended to wear your best armor, equip your best weapon, carry a stack of Advanced Health Potions in your quickbar and prepare health regenerating Potions or Food, for example Mushroom Sandwiches beforehand, that will grant health regeneration and a bonus on your maximum health points for 15 minutes.

Troggington Fights Back[]

This event does not have any time restrictions. The description at the beginning announces: "Troggington has ordered his minions to attack!".

Only seconds after that, aggressive Creatures wearing dark blue holiday hats will spawn, usually starting with three Chizzard Minions. After you have defeated them, more aggressive Creatures wearing dark blue holiday hats will spawn, usually two Rambeau Minions and one Miru Minion that will throw Snowcubes at you from a distance. After defeating these enemies, a third wave of minions will spawn, usually two Chizzard Minions, one more Rambeau Minion and also an immobile Coolworm Minion.

After you have defeated the third wave of Troggington's Minions, the system message will claim: "Wait a minute... that's not actually Troggington in the trap!", after which the Frost Trog Troggington himself will appear. Curiously enough, he is peaceful. Shortly after, many more of Troggington's Minions will spawn; at least 5 Miru Minions and 2 Chizzard Minions. Your objective is to defeat all of them, including Troggington himself.

Chizzard Minions have the exact same combat skills like common Blizzard Chizzards, rarely dealing cold damage over time for up to 7 seconds occasionally when hitting your player character, especially when they use their "dive attack" to push yor player character back. Even worse, sometimes these Creatures are able to stun your player character, rendering you unable to do anything for 3-5 seconds while your player character is also pushed back at the same time. Chizzard Minions require 9 hits by a Lumite level sword to be killed.

Miru Minions will throw Snowcubes at you that can also push your player character back, as well as sometimes are able to deal cold damage over time for 4 seconds. They require 5 hits dealt with a Lumite level sword to be killed.

Rambeau Minions will attempt to push your player character back and can also deal cold damage over time for 3 seconds occasionally. Just like Miru Minions, they require 5 hits of a Lumite level sword to be killed.

Coolworm Minions can spit a frost fountain similar to the lava fountain of common Warmworms, but the frost fountains of Coolworms will deal cold damage over time. They require 8 hits by a Lumite level sword to be killed.

Troggington is very tough and requires 80-90 hits with a Lumite level sword to be defeated, so you should use your best weapon. Troggington looks like he attempts to heal himself like common Trogs do, but it seemingly does not work the same way, since his health points do not visibly recover. He is able to hurl player characters away or up quite far when hammering with both of his fists against the ground, even if the player characters have been behind Troggington. Circling him is not always a very successful strategy, at least less successful than against common Trogs. He also seems to be able to occasionally deal cold damage over time for 3 seconds.

All of these Creatures are vulnerable to any type of swords/melee weapon and also Explosives like Armor-Piercing Bombs or Explosive Bombs for example; and they can also be stunned by Stun Bombs. It is absolutely recommended to make use of Explosives as often as you can, since Explosives have an area effect and can get rid of several Creatures at once, different to your best melee weapon, that you can use for fighting the closest enemies at the very same time too. Snowcubes won't deal much damage during this event.

Troggington's Minions and perhaps Troggington III too (never experienced it happening though) can drop Holiday Loot Bags filled with items similar to the contents of Reward Holiday Gift Boxes minus any Trog Traps.

It is recommended to wear your best armor, equip your best weapon, carry a stack of Advanced Health Potions in your quickbar and prepare health regenerating Potions or Food, for example Mushroom Sandwiches beforehand, that will grant health regeneration and a bonus on your maximum health points for 15 minutes.

King of the Chill (Tier 3 ?)[]

Again the onscreen description of this event says: "Don't let Troggington's Minions capture the control point!", which in reality means that you have to defeat all of the spawning Minions around the Large Trog Trap for ca. 1,5 minutes (usually 100 seconds, exactly the same timespan as for Medium Trog Trap events).

Aggressive Creatures will spawn ca. every 20-30 seconds, usually starting with one Blizzard Chizzard called "Chizzard Minion" at ca. 1:38, then additionally one or two Arctic Mirus called Miru Minions at ca. 1:22, together or followed by two Chizzard Minions shortly after, then one or two blue-green colored Warmworms called "Coolworm Minions" together with a Rambeau called "Rambeau Minion" at ca. 0:58, another Coolworm at 0:48 to 0:36 together with a Chizzard Minion, sometimes two more Chizzard Minions together with another Rambeau Minion at ca. 0:28. 5-6 rounds with 1-5 enemies spawning have been reported by other players.

All of these Troggington's Minions are wearing dark blue Holiday Pet Hats and some are a bit larger than their common non-event brethren. As soon as the aggressive Creatures are starting to spawn, the message on the bottom of your screen will say "[[[Troggington]]]: RWAAARG! Not again! Minions to me!" All of these minions will attack you and are able to (actually pretty rarely) deal cold damage over time for 3-7 seconds occasionally when hitting your player character, while some attacks will also push you back and out of the blue capture zone. You should stay within the large blue force-field-like "capture zone" around the Trog Trap for most of the 100 second duration of this event yourself too.

Chizzard Minions have the exact same combat skills like common Blizzard Chizzards, rarely dealing cold damage over time for up to 7 seconds occasionally when hitting your player character, especially when they use their "dive attack" to push yor player character back. Even worse, sometimes these Creatures are able to stun your player character, rendering you unable to do anything for 3-5 seconds while your player character is also pushed back at the same time. Chizzard Minions require 9 hits by a Lumite level sword to be killed.

Miru Minions will throw Snowcubes at you that can also push your player character back, as well as sometimes are able to deal cold damage over time for 4 seconds. They require 5 hits dealt with a Lumite level sword to be killed.

Rambeau Minions will attempt to push your player character back and can also deal cold damage over time for 3 seconds occasionally. Just like Miru Minions, they require 5 hits of a Lumite level sword to be killed.

Coolworm Minions can spit a frost fountain similar to the lava fountain of common Warmworms, but the frost fountains of Coolworms will deal cold damage over time. They require 8 hits by a Lumite level sword to be killed.

All of Troggington's Minions are vulnerable to any type of swords/melee weapons and also Explosives like Armor-Piercing Bombs or Explosive Bombs for example; and they can be stunned by Stun Bombs too. It is absolutely recommended to make use of Explosives as often as you can, since Explosives have an area effect and can get rid of several Creatures at once, different to your best melee weapon that you can use for fighting the closest enemies at the very same time too. Snowcubes won't deal much damage during this event - not even against Miru Minions, even though they look very similar to the Arctic Mirus that appear during "Snowball Fight" events where they are only vulnerable to Snowcubes but not to any other weapons.

The diamond-shaped gauge in the middle of your screen will be light blue at first and display 0%, saying "capturing", while changing to "losing" each time a Creature enters the blue force-field-like "capture zone" around the Trog Trap. The percentage will rise as long as Creatures are still alive in close proximity of the Large Trog Trap. The gauge will slowly change to a red color from bottom to top while the percentage of "losing" is rising, and if the percentage displayed should reach 100%, you will have lost the event. So the objective is to kill all the Creatures, or at least push them out of the blue force-field-like "capture zone" around the Trog Trap.

It is recommended to wear your best armor, equip your best weapon, carry a stack of Advanced Health Potions in your quickbar and prepare health regenerating Potions or Food, for example Mushroom Sandwiches beforehand, that will grant health regeneration and a bonus on your maximum health points for 15 minutes.

Snowball Target Practice (Tier 3 with mainly small targets in different heights)[]

Like for Tier 1 and 2 Snowball Target Practice, several piles of 3-4 Snowcubes each will appear at once within a certain proximity around the Medium Trog Trap so you can collect these ranged "weapons". When collecting them all, you should have been provided with ca. 25-30 Snowcubes in total (again, less than for "Snowball Fight"). Snowcube piles are indicated on your compass with their own small icons once again.

Ca. 15 seconds later, the first of eight waves consisting of ca. 2-4 red-and-white Toy Drive Targets will spawn. These targets for tier 3 nearly always have smaller discs than for tier 1, some of them are positioned higher up with longer poles and such harder to hit properly.

Again you are supposed to hit all of the Toy Drive Targets with well-aimed Snowcubes, thrown from a stack of Snowcubes in your quickbar by clicking your right mouse button. Try to hit them all within the time span that is displayed on screen. For Tier 3 events you will also be granted only a bit less than 1 minute starting with the spawning of the first target/s. Toy Drive Targets will again hit your player character if you get very close to them. This will almost always deal cold damage over time for 3-4 seconds and will push your player character upwards and back as well.

As before, it is recommended to prepare at least one stack of Snowcubes even before starting any Trog Trap events. To craft Snowcubes, simply put blocks of Snow into a Processor. Placing Snowball Turrets on the ground during this event is extremely recommended, they are of great help with events like this one (and also for "Snowball Fight"s).

You can buy Snowball Turrets from Elfis that spawn in cold biomes during the Christmas event (like from December 13th 2017 to January 10th 2018), 5 Snowball Turrets will "cost" 50 Rescued Toys. Pick the Turrets up before 90 seconds are over, then you can re-use them! Snowball Turrets have become craftable after the third reward bundle of Elfi's Community Toy Drive was unlocked with 25 million Toys on January 3rd 2018 for those who claimed the Snowball Turret Bundle until January 10th 2018.

Toy Drive Targets are "vulnerable" only to Snowcubes. Remember that Snowcubes fly in an arch when aiming at the targets. Toy Drive Targets of course never drop any Loot Bags (respectively Holiday Loot Bags), since they aren't even Creatures (even though Targets can make sounds when you spawn them with a Mob Spawner around Christmas and hit them). Even if you attempt to hit Toy Drive Targets with melee weapons, they won't take any damage at all. Red compass markers will indicate where each target is positioned.

If you do not get very close to any of the Toy Drive Targets, you won't need to use up any health regenerating or healing measures.

Present Danger (Tier 2?)[]

This event can rarely be initiated by a Large Trog Trap, however it does not seem to be any different than when it is initiated by a Medium Trog Trap. (If you should be able to spot any differences, please comment to this article or edit it yourself!)

Ca. 10 colorful Holiday Gifts will spawn during this event, most of which will contain small stacks of crafted Christmas-themed items like Gingerbread Walls, Molasses, Holiday Lights and the like. These presents seemingly never contain any Trog Traps, but they often contain Rescued Toys.

The presents will only be available for ca. 13 seconds and then will vanish, so you should hurry to loot as many of them within this timespan as you can. No additional Reward Holiday Gift Box will appear at the end of this event.

Snowball Fight (Tier 3)[]

This event has been reported by certain players to be rarely initiated by Large Trog Traps just like they can be initiated by Small Trog Traps. However, I cannot confirm this yet, even after playing through dozens of Large Trog Trap events. They are supposed to be similar to Snowball Fight Tier 1 events, which means that 30-40 Snowcubes should be obtainable from Snowcube piles at the beginning of the event again, after which five waves consisting of ca. 3-6 Target Arctic Mirus (most often 5) wearing dark blue holiday hats should spawn that you will then have to defeat within a little more than 1 minute with well-aimed Snowcubes thrown from a stack in your quickbar by clicking your right mouse button. If this event should occur, placing Snowball Turrets on the ground during this event is very recommended once again, along with any health regenerating Potion or Food that you can consume when this event starts; for example Mushroom Sandwiches.

Snow 3 Go (Tier 3 with 15 small capture points)[]

This event has been reported by certain players to be rarely initiated by Large Trog Traps just like they can be initiated by Medium Trog Traps. However, I cannot confirm this yet, even after playing through dozens of Large Trog Trap events. They are supposed to be similar to Snow 3 Go Tier 2 events, which means that you should have a bit more than 1 minute to "capture" 15 candy-cane-colored capture poles with red capture zones around them and rising light blue spheres on them that will spawn one after another around the Large Trog Trap. No aggressive Creatures should attack you while doing so, and a small diamond-shaped gauge in the middle of your screen is supposed to turn from red to blue again, going from 0% to 100% and ending with a large system message saying "Point captured!". You should be able to check the lilac colored flags on your compass that will lead you to the next pole very quickly.

Elfi[]

During Elfi's Toy Drive (like from December 13th 2017 until January 10th 2018), Elfis appear here and there on blocks of Snow and Ice (sometimes even on crafted blocks that have placed on Snow or Ice) within a certain proximity around player characters. They are NPCs that look like green Leafis with pointed "elvish" ears, a red and white striped horn, an "iced" leaf covered with a holiday hat and red stripes on their tail. They always appear sitting on a stack of Christmas presents that cannot be looted nor taken.

If an Elfi is near, a small Leafi symbol will show up on/below the compass on top of the main game screen while playing. If more than one Elfis are around, then more Leafi-symbols will indicate in which direction each Elfi can be found. Similar to the skull symbol for Death Statues, the Leafi-symbol is or grows larger if an Elfi is close by, or it can appear smaller on the compass if the Elfi is further away from you.

You can activate Elfis like any Pet or activatable object (for example Crafting Stations) - by clicking your right mouse-button or typing "f" (as the default key) while pointing your cursor at the Elfi. When activated, a window will pop up that allows you to trade with the Elfi.

Elfis can be pushed with Snowcubes and Force Bombs, but they are invulnerable and will not take any damage. You cannot kill them with weapons either.

After "activating" Elfis you can click on the Scroll icon for Recipes on top of the shop window, where Elfi will offer you:

Even though you can only learn each rare Recipe once (after which it will be permanently added to your crafting menu and become available on all game worlds even on those with the option "world bound recipes" enabled), you can buy duplicates and then give them to other players so that they can learn these rare Recipes too.

When clicking on the cube icon for items on top of the shop window, Elfi will offer you:

Before an Hotfix was uploaded to the Creativerse servers on December 18th or 19th, Elfi had different offers. 1 Snow Buried Container was offered for 25 Rescued Toys, but neither Snowball Turrets, Frigid Soups, Frigid Sandwiches, Freeze Resistance Potions, Freeze Bombs nor Stun Bombs had been part of Elfi's item shop.

Elfi's Community Toy Drive[]

Whenever a Creativerse player trades in some Rescued Toys at an Elfi (that only appears during Christmas event-times like from December 13th 2017 to January 10th 2018), all of these Toys are counted. The combined amount of all the yielded Toys on all game worlds is displayed on a slider that players can observe on the main screen of the game before entering a game world, as well as on top of the ingame screen when opening the inventory.

Three colorful gift box icons mark specific goals for this community campaign - the Ice Box Bundle at 5,000,000, the Merry Music Bundle at 12,000,000 and the Snowball Turret Bundle at 25,000,000 Rescued Toys given to Elfis. These goals are reached when the Creativerse player community has traded in 5,000,000, 12,000,000 and at last 25,000,000 Rescued Toys. And whenever one of these goals was or is accomplished, the according community reward was or respectively will be unlocked.

This way everyone belonging to the Creativerse player community can do their bit to unlock these special rewards whenever they trade with an Elfi for Rescued Toy.

As soon as a reward bundle has been unlocked (when the red-white striped slider has reached the according gift box icons), it can be claimed by every Creativerse player by clicking on the respective present icon on the slider either on the main game screen or ingame after opening the inventory.

Afterwards, the according bundle can be found in your inventory. The rewards, consisting of an event-exclusive rare Recipe that cannot be traded with other players, a few examples for these crafted items, Rescued Toys and Holiday Giftboxes, will most likely only be available until January 10th 2018.

Ice Box Bundle[]

Ever since the slider has reached 5,000,000 on December 15th 2017, the Ice Box Bundle has been unlocked for all Creativerse players to claim. To claim it either during the Christmas event or during special occasions when it becomes available, you can click on the left (first) gift box icon on the slider either on the main game screen or ingame after opening your inventory.

After claiming this bundle in your inventory, it will turn into a one-way storage container that looks like a stack of wooden crates. This can be placed on the ground and activated with right-click or "f" (as the default key) like any other storage container.

The Ice Box Bundle consists of the rare non-tradeable crafting Recipe for Frozen Containers, plus 2 already crafted Frozen Containers, 100x Rescued Toys and 5 animated Holiday Giftboxes with random content similar to randomly spawning Holiday Gifts.

The crafting recipe for the Frozen Container (which is not a storage container, but a display case similar to Placemats) that is included in this reward bundle is automatically added to your crafting menu on all game worlds as soon as you claim the bundle. There is no recipe book nor recipe page for the Frozen Container that could be shared with other players.

Please note that a relog (exit the game completely, wait a few minutes, then re-enter the game) might become necessary in order to make the recipe show up in your crafting menu if you have claimed the reward bundle ingame!

Merry Music Bundle[]

Ever since the slider has reached 12,000,000 on December 21th 2017, the Merry Music Bundle has been unlocked for all Creativerse players to claim. To claim it either during the Christmas event or during special occasions when it becomes available, you can click on the middle (second) gift box icon on the slider either on the main game screen or ingame after opening your inventory.

This bundle too will turn into a one-way storage container that looks like a stack of wooden crates after you've claimed it in your inventory. This too can be placed on the ground and activated with right-click or "f" (as the default key).

The Merry Music Bundle consists of the rare non-tradeable crafting Recipe for Holiday Music Boxes, plus 1 already crafted animated Holiday Music Box, 200x Rescued Toys and 10 animated Holiday Giftboxes with random content similar to randomly spawning Holiday Gifts.

The crafting recipe for the Holiday Music Boxes that is included in this reward bundle is automatically permanently added to your crafting menu on all game worlds as soon as you claim the bundle. There is no recipe book nor recipe page for the Holiday Music Box that could be shared with other players.

Again, a relog might become necessary in order to make the recipe show up in your crafting menu if you have claimed the reward bundle ingame.

Snowball Turret Bundle[]

Since the slider has reached 25,000,000 (25 million toys) on January 3rd 2018, the Snowball Turret Bundle was unlocked. This bundle too can then be claimed by all Creativerse players as long as the Elfi's Toy Drive event is ongoing or at special occasions when it'll become available, by clicking on the right (third) gift box icon.

The Snowball Turret Bundle includes 2 non-tradeable Christmas-themed rare crafting Recipes: for the Snowball Turret (already crafted ones can be bought from Elfis for Rescued Toys during Christmas event-times) and the crafting recipe for New Years Fireworks, also 10 already crafted Snowball Turrets, 10 already crafted New Years Fireworks, 300x Rescued Toys, plus 15 animated Holiday Giftboxes with random content that is similar to the content of randomly spawning Holiday Gifts.

Like before, the crafting recipe for the Snowball Turret and the New Years Fireworks that are included in this reward bundle will automatically be permanently added to your crafting menu on all game worlds as soon as you claim the bundle. There are no recipe books nor recipe pages for the Snowball Turret or New Years Fireworks that could be shared with other players.

Once again, a relog might become necessary in order to make the recipes show up in your crafting menu if you have claimed the reward bundle ingame.

The item bundle for this reward can also be claimed on one game world of your choice in your inventory and will then turn into a one-way storage container that looks like a stack of wooden crates that can be placed on the ground and activated with right-click or "f" (as the default key) in order to receive its content.

Holiday Giftboxes[]

These animated chests resemble blue Holiday Gifts and actually contain pretty much the same random content (see above). You can receive these animated Holiday Gifts (only blue variants have been seen so far) when claiming any of the three bundles from the Elfi's Community Toy Drive first on the slider either from the main game menu before entering a game world or on the slider that is shown ingame when opening the inventory.

To actually receive the content of these presents that you have obtained from the item bundles after claiming them from your inventory, you will have to place the Holiday Giftboxes from your quickbar into the game world. Different from storage containers, these presents will then automatically open after displaying a short animation.

When yellow Pigsies, red Rocksters, Pebbles, peaceful types of Leafies or blue-green common Chizzards are close by, they will be attracted to the Holiday Giftboxes while they open. You can right-click on these presents or activate them (by typing "f" as the default key) while pointing your cursor at them even without waiting for the animation to finish if you are in a hurry.

What will remain after Elfi's Toy Drive has ended?[]

Similar to Pumpkiru's Candy Campaign, all the remaining Trog Traps should still work like usual, but players won't receive any more of them until next Christmas or whenever the developers decide to provide the community with more traps for special occasions. Trog Traps also won't be available in the Store anymore and especially won't be part of the daily Login Chests.

Holiday Gifts stopped spawning after January 10th 2018, and no Elfis appeared anymore - until the next occasion, so all remaining or obtained Rescued Toys can only be stored away from than on to be traded in at a later time - probably during Christmas event-times 2018. Different from Pumpkiru Candy, Toys cannot be consumed.

The event-related Costumes (all Halloween-themed and Christmas-themed stuff like the Frost Trog Costume Set, Pumpkiru's Top Hat, Frostbourne and Grim Reaper have been available in the Store for a longer while, but might be deactivated later on and could only become available during the according "seasons" (around Halloween and around Christmas) as has been announced by Playful.
