==Overview==
It's [[Frostfell Time]] in [[Norrath]]! Song fills the air, Norrathians bustle to purchase that special gift, to fix their feasts. Those [[:Category:Frostfell Elf|Frostfell Elves]] are out in force to bring cheer and gifts of the season to one and all. 

Frostfell is the [[:Category:Live Events|Live Event]] that begins in December. While in-game, click on the EQ2 radial button and chose the Calendar to check the exact dates. It was fist introduced to EQ2 in 2005.

No matter what you do, make sure you visit [[Santa Glug]] every 24 (real-world) hours. He has gifts [[:Category:Frostfell Gifts|Frostfell gift]]s for you!

Some Frostfell quests take place in your home city but many occur in a special holiday zone: Frostfell Wonderland Village. 

To learn more about the zone's history, to see a map, read a bit of history, and get some general tips and tricks, see the [[Frostfell Wonderland Village]] page.

The event has numerous quests, a purple "shiny" collection, races, achievements, special crafting materials, and more, all described below.

New and returning players should consult the Annual quests section below first, as many of the quests inside the Frostfell Wonderland Village are unlocked ''only'' after the first quest listed there is complete. 
===Frozen Tokens===
Like most other events in EQ2, Frostfell quests often reward a special, event-only currency. 

The Frostfell currency is [[Frozen Token of E'ci]]. To see how many tokens you have, press '''C''' (while logged in) to open the Character window and click on your Currency tab. 

The tokens can be exchanged within the [[Frostfell Wonderland Village]] for valuable items like attractive armor and weapons (with stats), a variety of ice and holiday-themed [[Decorating Houses|house items]], and more. 

'''You must to complete at least one quest in [[The Icy Keep]] that awards the tokens to speak to the main Frostfell merchant, [[Gerbi Frostfoot]].''' Once you do, you can see all of the goodies he has to offer. He carries more items to buy with tokens than other goblin merchants in the Wonderland Village. 

There are many way to earn tokens, but there are also ''so many'' things you may want to buy! 

*'''Token-Earning Tips:'''
Over the years, veterans players have developed two common strategies:
#[[The Icy Keep]] - solo or group quests are offered for the instance, but the number of lootable tokens in the group version is ''far'' superior during the group version of the [[Mission Improbable...|Mission Improbable]] series quests.
#[[Raiding the Gifty Storehouse]]  - before you turn in the solo quest you can trade extra gifts in your inventory to [[Gixen]] on the dock in the [[Enchanted Lands]] (Hint-hint: you can re-enter the instance for the quest and greedily gather extra gifts over and over).

===Travel to Frostfell Wonderland Village===
[[File:Magic-closet-entrance-frostfell.jpg|thumb|One example of the Magic Closet used to enter the Frostfell zone. It is identical in all cities. ]]

==What's New?==
While "regulars" who lurk and edit this wiki do their best to keep this page up-to-date, sometimes the game development moves faster than we do. Please add any new quests you discover to this section. New quests are ''not'' added to the game every year, so if this section seems behind, check the Official Forums for announcements. If we reach another year with new quests, the quests and info once found in this section will be moved in favor of what's ''actually'' new.  

:'''New in 2015:'''
In 2015, only players who purchased [[Terrors of Thalumbra patch notes|the Terrors of Thalumbra expansion]] can complete a new series of quests. The quests are centered around a narrative about [[Maldura]].

*[[Deepice Dreams]]

*[['Tis the Season]]
*[[Gift Giving]]

More recipes were added in 2015 too, including icy-themed triangle [[Housing Item Limit and Building Blocks|building blocks]], some [[Appearance|appearance gear]], and a variety of house items (including a new style of window). New gifts are given by [[Santa Glug]] too. 
:See the [https://www.everquest2.com/news/frostfell-winter-holiday-event-2015 official announcement for more details].

Players on the [[Server Types|Time Locked Expansion (TLE) servers]] do '''not''' have the full event unclocked yet in 2015, but some Frostfell-themed items can be purchased in cities near the same locations entrance to [[Frostfell Wonderland Village]] on regular servers.

In [[Qeynos Harbor]], [[West Freeport]], [[Haven]], and [[Kelethin]], players would visit the giant Frostfell Tree and find a magic wardrobe. As in [[Wikipedia:Narnia|Narnia]], they would step through (click) the wardrobe to be transported to the [[Frostfell Wonderland Village]]! 

Players seek out [[Mr. McScroogle]] on an island at the back of the village, talk to him, and are transported to his home AS HIM (in an illusion form).
