The Frostfell Wonderland looks the same as last year... the icy archipelago (utilizing part of the Everfrost landscape) remains, but there are new things to do and see!
To reach the Wonderland, enter a wardrobe under a great tree in Qeynos Harbor (by the bank) or West Freeport (also near the bank). In Gorowyn, it is on the lowest level, by the large pool.
Find Queen Bunny by the largest tree, near where Gardy Giftgiver lurks with your daily presents!
hint: You can skip ahead to the bold print if you don't want to read the dialog.
She says, "Golly Brasse, Frostfell sure has changed."
"How so?", say you.
"Frostfell has always been a simple holiday celebrated with family and friends. There was never any profit in it, but that is different this year."
I briefly wondered if I had stepped into Second Life, but I pressed on.
"What happened?"
"Well, Mr McScroogle sure didn't learn his lesson last year. So, now we are all suffering for it and so is our favorite holday. I'm starting to really dislike the Frostfell season. I can't stand all of the flyers and advertisements."
I thought to myself that she should try real life holiday season and see how good she has it, but instead I said, "Is there anything I can do to help?"
This is when it got good, "Well, I'm not one to endorse violence, but I really think we should blow up his advertisement factory, this so-called "McScroogle Corp. Public Relations and Advanced Marketing Consortium."
Blowing things up always catches my attention, "Do you know where the headquarters is?"
"No, but we have heard rumors that it is in the Steamfont Mountains somewhere. My scouts found and detained a Gigglegibber named Gimlet. They have questioned him, but his answers are nonsensical."
"I could go question him."
"Oh would you? Oh, that's wonderful, just head over to the Steamfont Mountains. My people have the captive Gimlet at Gnomeland Security, your contact is Felonious Frostfae."
"I'll take care of this Queen Bunny, don't you worry."
At this point the Quest acceptance box pops up, and you're underway! The quest level is based on your level.
Queen Bunny has requested my help to stop the McScroogle Corp.'s exploitation of Frostfell.
1. I need to meet up with Felonious Frostfae at Gnomeland Security in the Steamfont Mountains.
Now, if you're lucky, a druid will be nearby and willing to open a portal to Steamfont. If not, time to head there the slow way! Get to it! Keep in mind that Steamfont is full of level 30-40 mobs, so if you are younger than that, find an armed escort!
Once in Steamfont, find the climby wall to Gnomeland Security, at -644, +132, +952. Up you go!
You'll find Felonious Frostfae and his prisoner inside a building at -608, +175, +991. Speak with him to advance your quest; he gives you permission to speak to the witness (Gimlet Gigglejibber).
2. I should question Gimlet.
He definitely has a gear loose. He sounds an awful lot like a Gigglegibber Lotto machine!
3. I should speak to Felonious, again.
The Fae confirms that something did, in fact, go very wrong when Gimlet was playing the lottery.
You avatar says, "I think I have an idea". I sure didn't, so I'll have to assume it's true.
4. I need to try to question Gimlet, once more.
Oho! You now have the option to give Gimlet 10 silver. I see where this is going. The payment gives you the choice to push his nose, poke him in the eye or pull down on his arm like a lever. The third seems most like a gambling machine.
You win! When you ask where the McScroogle Headquarters are now, he tells you, "Through sewer grate near, tick, tick, Klakalaka Anon. Tick... Pass code Up - Up - Down - Down - Left - Right - Left - Right."
5. I need to find the McScroogle Headquarters.
Klakanon lies well to the southwest of Gnomeland Security.
Just outside of its gates, at -263, +91, +1,397, you will find a small, round grate on the ground, labelled "A Man Hole Cover". This is the entrance!
Right click on the grate to zone into McScroogle Corp. HQ
6. I need to find a way to evacuate the innocent Gigglegibber workers.
Go down the narrow passageway you will find, and locate a switch on the wall. Hover over it carefully to highlight the handle (the rest will not work).
It prompts you to enter the pass code, and helpfully reminds you what that is. Not much in the way of security, is it? You can now use the switch a second time to raise the bars blocking you from the main room.
As soon as you enter, you'll see a crate of explosive materials that you can use to blow up the scribing desks. Each time you examine the crate, you will receive an "Explosive Material" in your inventory. Collect up 12 (which is a full stack).
Head straight south through the room, hugging the right wall, till you see another lever on the wall like the one you used to raise the bars on the entrance (not the large levers on the ground nearby).
This is the FIRE ALARM - it sends all the Goblins scurrying out to safety. Incidentally, a bunch of clockwork Security Bots spawn at the same time. Yay!
7. I must destroy the scribing desks inside the McScroogle Corp. Headquarters. I might be able to find something in the area to destroy the desks. (12 total)
Yep, you already have all the explosives you need in your pockets. If you stick to the walls, you can avoid some aggro, for the bots are all even con or blue (one down-arrow), no matter what your level is. They are not hard to kill (even for me as a Mystic) one on one, but annoying, and can be dangerous in numbers.
There are three on the bottom floor (near the fire alarm). Dispatch those by right clicking on them, then head to the east to reach the ramps leading to the upper level. The remaining 9 are all up top.
8. I must defeat McScroogle!
Oh yes, the bad boy himself arrives to defend his property. He appears on the raised platform on the lower floor, and he looks really annoyed. He will be even con to whatever level you are.
You can drop down from above to his platform, or pull him from below with a ranged attack. He has a fun stun effect in which he drops loads of coins on your head to keep you from moving.
Fight him to within an inch of his life... or maybe a tenth of an inch, for he was at 1% when he fled from me, yelling, "You've killed me!". In spite of his claim, he will now be at full health and is waiting to hear your demands, which of course involves stopping his commercial exploitation of Frostfell.
He agrees, sort of... enough to advance your quest at least.
9. I must return to Queen Bunny and let her know McScroogle Headquarters is no longer operational.
(that is, unless McScroogle had his fingers crossed all along!)
Queen Bunny is very happy with this news... and you get a very funky-looking new hat.
