Avalanche Emporium + Snowapult

December 17, 2015 10:41 pm

As the snow begins to fall, the <a href=https://subeta.net/shop.php?shopid=35>Avalanche Emporium has reopened to sell you… things you could easily make by stepping foot outdoors--but who wants to do that? Get your designer snowballs ready because THE SNOWAPULT IS BACK</A>! You can even fling at random, unsuspecting users now!

It's going to be a long, frigid winter. Thankfully both the Snowapult and Avalanche Emporium will be here to suit your devious needs until the bitter end. Speaking of which, the Throw a Snowball achievement has several new tiers...

30 minutes and still not restocked... I give up.

Its not really a snowball fight when there aren't snowballs to fight with

OK so not really complaining here so much as being confused. With the shop (not) stocking and, on the rare occasion it does, selling out within 2 seconds, they seriously expect us to be able to purchase 50K snowballs?!? Really? Without the option of buying them in packs of 25 like last year, this could take a couple years. :(

< Please hit me with Icy Snowballs! >

Are they going to show up on HA's? I liked that so much last year :D

The shop restocks exactly as any other would based on the stock and rarity of the items. The highest rarity is in the 60s, most of them are 40-50. Aka, pretty common! There are just lots of people online as it's so early in the game.

December 18, 2015, 11:13 pm by

The not restocking is just going to make me do more battling instead of this shit!!

December 18, 2015, 10:02 pm by

"As the snow begins to fall" Odd you say that, today is the first day of this season that we got snow here irl. Stay cozy and safe everyone!

I think the reason the shops don't restock so many is because they don't want us to buy them from the Emporium. They want us to buy them from users and then destroy them. And based on some of the numbers of existing snowballs in the system, I don't blame them. This is probably also why they won't add a bulk buying type shop. Since last year, there are probably tens of thousands of snowballs floating around and they want us to destroy/throw them. That's also probably why the top tier is an ungodly 50k.

So in that spirit. I will be buying all of my snowballs from user shops. Because to hell with hoping in vain to catch a restock. I have a few times now and at best I end up with 5 snowballs. So not worth my time. I'd rather spend that time questing and mass buying snowballs from other users. Cause I did some maths and if you can buy your snowballs at 3k, you'd have to spend 150 million to get 50k snowballs. You also have 3 months. So you have to make about 50mil a month, aka 2.66666~mil a day. You can get that just from Saggi, Wizard and Maleria, honestly. So getting snowballs isn't the problem. The big time sink is actually throwing the snowballs...

December 18, 2015, 6:33 pm by

Are snowballs even working? I don't see them on any HAs.

December 18, 2015, 5:12 pm by

'Restocked now!' 'There are no items stocked 😦'

December 18, 2015, 5:00 pm by

Lucky I got like 200 snowballs saved up from last year to use while I get some new ones, this should be fun! I likes the battle idea like last year though.

December 18, 2015, 3:51 pm by

Oh so that's why people bought out my snowballs. Well now. Oops. Should have known better than to have them sitting around priced. xD /facepalms

December 18, 2015, 3:46 pm by

haha, 8 snowballs in shop after 10 minute wait.. I got one. woohoo! note sarcasm

December 18, 2015, 3:20 pm by

I really wish it was the bulk shop + a few weeks instead. This way we get our HAs pelted with annoying snowballs for months and 90% of people will forget to even work on the achievement and less sP will be sunk. Unamused.

December 18, 2015, 3:07 pm by

The Snowapult opening coincided with the first measurable snowfall in my city this winter. Doesn't get better than that. :) I can throw some virtual and real snowballs! Though the latter is cheaper. ;p

December 18, 2015, 2:53 pm by

Lol my connection failed and I just saw what I did... remind me to keep my mouth shut from now on XD

December 18, 2015, 2:37 pm by

This time last year I believe was our snowball fight of toys vs. candy. Anyway, the stacked snowball purchase was only available for that time period. Personally I don't know if I'd want that feature to return. Seeing as we will have a longer time to toss snowballs this season, the way its set up now is reasonable. Just wish the amount of snowballs per restock were at least half way decent with the amount released. As I've only seen one row of snowballs or less during each restock I've come across so far.

December 18, 2015, 2:25 pm by

How many snowballs are being released each restock?

December 18, 2015, 2:01 pm by

I love snowball season, but restocking on my old, slow computer? Always tough. :(

December 18, 2015, 1:37 pm by

Miss the old shop format and being able to buy in bulk. A LOT. :(

December 18, 2015, 11:26 am by

Lmao . And okay I thought maybe I was the only one seeing an empty shop. It has been warm, though..

December 18, 2015, 11:12 am by

Apparently climate change has hit the store.

December 18, 2015, 10:43 am by

well it would be cool..... IF i could get any snowballs...IF the shop restocks and IF I could actually get one when it does.

December 18, 2015, 10:00 am by

Restocked 11 minutes ago

Will I ever get a shark snowball at this point.

December 18, 2015, 9:01 am by

So this is a change. It used to be snowballs from Dec 1 to 31st. Now it's a couple months? Cool! Love that. :) Just going to take a long time to get 50K snowballs plus the new ones for my gallery.

December 18, 2015, 7:45 am by

Can you bring back the stacked snowballs please?

December 18, 2015, 6:08 am by

December 18, 2015, 5:10 am by

Please bring back the stacked snowball shop u_u;

December 18, 2015, 4:40 am by

I thought we could buy then in stacks like before when there was the big snowball fight (event?). Why don't they put them for a reasonable price into the shop like before so we can buy them in stacks - would be an excellent sP sink and less complaining. I won't buy a single snowball like this. I have a real life and not the time to reload a page for hours to snatch a handful of items if I get one at all. This is like a much more terrible Keelhauliday =(

December 18, 2015, 4:12 am by

41,759 / 1,000 lmfao...

December 18, 2015, 3:21 am by

Scratch that, I managed to snag two. Though still not many available when I refreshed a moment ago…

December 18, 2015, 3:20 am by

Well seeing as it's nearly impossible at this time to get any snowballs from the Emporium, I'm calling it a night.

On a side note, will there ever be a job available to work for Melody?

December 18, 2015, 3:19 am by

HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT :P

December 18, 2015, 2:57 am by

First time with this event, restocking seems to be annoying and not currently worth the effort. Perhaps things will settle later on. I did throw the ones I saved up from the donation corner, and I do appreciate the random option, as well as the several months. So overall, thank you.

December 18, 2015, 2:48 am by

I'm glad I only need 567 snowballs for that sticker. Lol. Then a whole lot more to get to 50k.

December 18, 2015, 2:38 am by

I also agree with comments below. Why not make them a different rarity so that they can not be used for fragging. ;x There's no way I'm going to pay 3k+ for a snowball and expect to do that almost 25k times.

December 18, 2015, 2:36 am by

I'm glad I had a few thousand saved up since the shop hasn't stocked. :S

December 18, 2015, 2:35 am by

I DO AND THAT'S THE PROBLEM.

emporium pls

December 18, 2015, 2:22 am by

Why is there NOTHING at the Avalance Emporium? I've been refreshing too much. T_T

December 18, 2015, 2:11 am by

If you are going to make me spend hours of my life refreshing the avalanche emporium again, can we at least get a shop keeper to look at? Pretty sure staring at that nuclear snowball is going to give everyone cataracts.

December 18, 2015, 1:45 am by

Avalanche Emporium Restocked 19 minutes ago

Well. This'll take a while.

December 18, 2015, 1:37 am by

was excited for this to start. however, now.. not so much.

December 18, 2015, 12:26 am by

snerk I always love it when snowballs happen to go together in an adorably goofy fashion, despite the chaos.

December 18, 2015, 12:24 am by

BEST PART OF SUBETA! WHEEEE!

I love this thingie! Can it please please please stay open all the way up to Masquerade? There's nothing better then a snowball fight in a Ballroom.

Watch out my loves, your little weasel-girl is armed and dangerous!

December 18, 2015, 12:21 am by

, you're welcome and good luck!

December 18, 2015, 12:20 am by

Thanks! I guess I'll dust off my tokens and start vending again

December 18, 2015, 12:17 am by

current price of that snowball is 3,499 sP 3,499 * 50,000 = 174,950,000 sP

say prices go down to 1k. that's still 50 mil.

I appreciate they are old items as the tier prizes. I think I am just arguing to give you a hard time right now, I don't really care about achievements personally. I get inspired by other people's comments.

December 18, 2015, 12:17 am by

, yes, they do vend at Frosty Claw according to a vending guide I just looked at.

December 18, 2015, 12:14 am by

There are hundreds of thousands of snowballs on site already that will end up in shops for reasonable prices. Here's just one example:

Spiked Icicle Snowball Item Count: 41842

December 18, 2015, 12:12 am by

I didn't put the new item on an insane tier on purpose. If you want to work for an older item that is buyable in shops (expensive though!) you can. You don't have to, and you can work on this for years to come. It's hard to find a middleground for achievements lots of times, so going on the higher end is generally the way to go when you have months to complete it every year.
