I’ve successfully done this daily twice in the past, but today I have no luck making any progress with it. To save time for both of us, I’ll just bullet-point my observation:

-I’ll ground-target a skritt and throw a snowball at them, targeted, but it will fly right through them. As this happens, I can see the snowball icon flicker under their health bar, but it doesn’t count towards completion
- Tried in multiple locations, hostile and friendly targets, including those out of a gift box
- Sticky ground targeting thing disabled
- Tried re-logging after many hours. Nope

Thanks for your attention. Saw an year-old thread on the same issue, but I thought I shouldn’t necro.

If you aim right behind the skritt like right behind them at their feet it should register. If you aim right at them sometimes it won’t hit, oddly for the aim mine just hit when I am directly behind them.

Gift box ones never seem to work. The ‘Grumpy Skritt’ in Ember Bay usually give good results.

And yes, targeting right behind them seems to work best.

Good luck.

It hasn’t worked for many – the thread from over a year ago is active again…

This thing needs to be revamped or removed as a daily.

This definitely needs fixing. I just used around 150 snowballs to get the 10 hit. It didn’t matter if the AOE circle was directly on them, slightly behind them or far behind them. It was just very random when it actually hit them. It almost always went straight thru them or even if it hit right at them sometimes it still wouldn’t register. Very frustrating. Why the snowballs work great on people and not Skritt I can’t understand.

Ok, glad I found this because I could not figure out what was going on. Definitely happening here too.
