https://hero.fandom.com/wiki/Karen_(Frosty_the_Snowman)


  • When Karen is killed, she will drop (9) Train Tickets and there will be a Server Global that you have slain Karen

  • When Hocus Pocus is killed, he will spawn the TicketMaster


  • TicketMaster

Talk to the Ticket Master to start the GRUE quest and enter A Cold Place

The Ticket Master if the player is already flagged will teleport the player to A Cold Place

If you are not already flagged and have (1) Train Ticket the NPC TicketMaster to flag the player for 6 hours and teleport the player to A Cold Place


  • Jack Frost

Jack Frost drops (12) keys for Jack's Chest on a 300-day timer. The GRUE event resets and Frosty is born again.


  • Jack's Chest


Jacks Chest will contain the following:





QUEST NOTES:

The necklace is bound and attuned.

The Chest key is 300 day pickup

Train Ticket 1 hour pickup timer

No death items drop once inside


Kill Frosty until Karen Spawns

Quest Starts for 6 hours

Kill Karen to spawn Hocus Pocus

Kill Hocus Pocus to spawn the Ticketmaster and a Cold Place turns ON

Talk to the Ticketmaster and he will check for a Train Ticket

A Train Ticket will get you flagged for 6 hours entry to A Cold Place.

If you die go back and talk to the Ticketmaster again and he will port you to A Cold Place

Once each level of the quest is reached, the portal stays open until the quest ends in 6 hours or Jack Frost has been killed to rese the quest.

This means at any point, if you are paying attention to server global messages, it's easy to join the quest or crash the party either way.



  • MISC DRUNKEN NOTES

GRUE quest hints, clues, and suggestions for 2023:

Take a friend, who has a few friends too.

It's a Christmas/Winter related quest.

Get togethering with your friends, fuck around and find out.

This was an intentional very hard to design around a marco/meta army and still make it useable.

Only (16) Players completed the quest it's first run in 2022.

I anticipate a much higher number for 2023.

The rewards have been increased.

Last year's Jack's Amulet was confirmed by ACE developers to not be working as intended for fellowship spells. :frowning: It's an ACE oversight IMO

Train Tickets are good for (7) days until punched

After Train Tickets are used for flagging, you are flagged for (6) Hours.

The Ticket Master goes home after his (6) hour shift, the quest resets and Frosty returns again
