Considering that nearly all snowflake prices just crashed to rockbottom, i wouldnt advice anyone to do this recipe atm.

It made the other 10 snowflake tonic forge much more palatable though.

Yeah, it looks like they keep adding recipes that make us produce something out of junk.
Until the product itself becomes junk due to rapid supply.

Keeps the market interesting, though. I wouldnt be surprised to see giant gifts to hit rock bottom next.

The everybody actually doesnt even bother to open them anymore and they will introduce another recipe.

I just opened another 500 Giant Gifts, and instead of a ton of luck, I got a TON (several full stacks of each T1-T6) of snowflakes. IDK if it’s a bug or not, but I think that is contributing to the demise of the snowflake market, not so much the new tonic recipe.

I guess youre right. Just opened 1 stack of gifts and got enough t2-5 flakes to forge another 140 gifts.

You clicked each item to put it into the forge, then clicked to start the forge, then clicked to accept Zommorros pitiful gift in return. 6 × 248.

Hands hurt much? Makes that “in response to players” statement look a little silly because they still don’t get it, but Merry Clickmas anyway!
