• If you die go back and talk to the Ticket Master again and he will teleport you to A Cold Place for up time (6) Hours while the quest is active

• Buff Agent is a big fan of Frosty and his friends. Take care or you might get a backshot!
• Take some rare frost crystals, you will need them
• Stay out of the cold "wind", find shelter it's safer there
