Trove Livestream Notes 23/12/16

Welcome to the latest live stream notes thread!

Second part of the Snowfest event, "Save the Season" which starts Jan 3rd to 16th. Has 7 steps of golden thread quest chain.

There will be a new boss added called Flamotron Mk II for the event which can be found in permafrost in special lairs.
It has a fire shield which requires Enchanted Snowflakes to deactivate which can be crafted via the Snowfest table in the hub.
It has 3 attacks, a melee, an AOE flamethrower and a lava mortar shot.
It also has 2 griffon minions that fight with it.

By defeating it you will get Darknik Gears which can be used to craft the G.R.Y.P.H 3000.

New mount that comes from present lairs will come with the update. Colourful gift carousel whereas the Plethora of presents mount comes from christmas tree lairs as a random drop

Crate 'O 300 gears is the next "pack" available for 3000 credits should you wish to purchase for making G.R.Y.P.H 3000 quicker

To summarise the answer, no guide, the team has decided that it should be left to a team member not from players. VFX mods can be accepted but they do get recreated from scratch. No longer accepting straight VFX files from the community.
