All of the users above will get a PM from me tomorrow (June 4th) with information about prizes.

Note: The springshrews will be soft retired after this week. With "soft" retirement, items will be functionally retired after their corresponding event. However, in future years' events of the same kind, it will still be technically possible to obtain them, but they will be extraordinarily rare. (Think, they're still there but it's something like a 1 in 1000 chance of getting one). With odds this low, items are essentially retired and you'll pretty much have to buy them from other users if you want one. However, there's that tiny chance you "win the lottery" doing your event dailies and acquire something from a previous event.

Snowmelt-Themed Dailies

For this week only, many activities will have special flavortext and events.

- All cats have a 50% chance of bringing a Snowmelt item home during their day job.

- There are 20 new Snowmelt-exclusive social scenarios which drop Snowmelt items. In addition, the odds of a cat forming a new relationship are increased this week.

- There are new Snowmelt-themed letters at the post office and users are guaranteed to get at least one Snowmelt-themed letter a day.

Note: The poem in one of the Snowmelt letters is courtesy of my dad :3

- A new crate event has been added to adventuring where Snowmelt items are dropping.

Event Hub Activities

There are two new activities over at the new Event Hub. Make sure to check them out!

Hehe first!

EDIT: Wait, do all Gathering jobs have a 50% chance of a Snowmelt item, or it just the Gatherer profession? And what about kittens?
