Defeating it gives you a chance to obtain a Snowman’s Crystal. * **In personalized fields, there may be a brief cooldown if another Mapler has recently summoned a Mystic Snowman**. If one doesn't appear immediately after you've defeated 600 monsters, please wait a short while for it to spawn. * Each character can summon the Mystic Snowman up to 120 times per day. * **Snowman's Crystals will only drop for characters who are actively raising a Pudgy**. The crystal drops will stop if you have claimed a reward for your Pudgy's current level, if it has reached Level 9, or if it has experienced a Frustration. To resume earning crystals, you must begin raising a new Pudgy. | ![만화 영화이(가) 표시된 사진 AI 생성 콘텐츠는 정확하지 않을 수 있습니다.](/files/b0390c3377906e9c97464e6dd089d28fcf1275d5) | ![일렉트릭 블루, 마조렐 블루, 블루, 다채로움이(가) 표시된 사진 AI 생성 콘텐츠는 정확하지 않을 수 있습니다.](/files/ee1c38067295fba6b550efa6c990eb0690654deb) | | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: | :-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: | | Mystic Snowman | Snowman’s Crystal | * Each Snowman’s Crystal allows you to attempt to \[Bless] your Pudgy, which has a chance to increase its level.

SuccessYour Pudgy's level increases by 1.
FailureYour Pudgy's level remains the same.
FrustrationThe blessing is unsuccessful, and the Pudgy's potential is sealed. You can no longer level up this Pudgy and will only receive 10% of the rewards for its current level.
Hero PudgyThis status signifies that your Pudgy has reached the maximum level (Level 9). After you claim the Level 9 reward, you can start the process over with a new Pudgy.
**\[Blessing Probabilities]** The outcome of a Bless attempt depends on your Pudgy's current level. | **Level** | **Success** | **Failure** | **Frustration** | | :-------: | :---------: | :---------: | :-------------: | | 1 | 100% | 0% | 0% | | 2 | 95% | 5% | 0% | | 3 | 90% | 10% | 0% | | 4 | 80% | 20% | 0% | | 5 | 70% | 0% | 30% | | 6 | 50% | 0% | 50% | | 7 | 30% | 0% | 70% | | 8 | 20% | 0% | 80% | | 9 | - | - | - | * At Level 2 or higher, you can claim your reward at any time. Claiming the reward will conclude the raising process for that Pudgy, and you cannot begin raising a new one until the next daily reset. **■ Event Rewards** The higher your Pudgy's level, the more rewards you'll earn.
