Keep in mind, you need to trade one of each of these snowballs to the Holiday Helpers positioned outside of clubs throught the Mega City. However, the ticket is NOT re-usable IF you complete the mission (we'll get to the loophole for those who've done this before in a bit, however, this is mainly aimed at newbies to the winter event). You need to re-trade again with a Holiday Helper collector.
Holiday Helpers(aka, Sexy **CENSORED**. =P):
Collect your Holiday Mission Ticket from Holiday Helpers. You will notice that there are items(and a fair amount of them at that) which can be retrieved by trading Perfect Snowflakes and the new Ruby Snowflakes.
Chill Simulacrums(Yetis, but I'll stick with it's real name for the moment):
These are the NPC's that spawn between mission zones and drop both the new Ruby Snowflake which you can trade for the two of the new items and last years Perfect Snowflake which you can trade in for some of this years new items, along with last years. You will be looking to trade these in for items from the Holiday Helpers. Having thrown resistance will lower the damage they deal considerably. They're not particularly difficult to kill, just don't use interlock builds. So, Sniper or MKT would be the obvious choices.
Holiday Mission Ticket:
Start the holiday mission and run to the zone, you will need 4 inventory slots free. Thanks to Exsuscito for braving it and working out that the mission WON'T fail if you have a full inventory, the present will drop on the ground allowing you to sort your invent then pick up any dropped items.
Anyways, move on from zone one DON'T HYPERJUMP, just run to the next mission zone. On the way you will encounter either one Chill Simulacrum or a pack of them(2 or 3). If you find a single Chill Simulacrum that has 3 chevrons, you have a good chance of it dropping a Ruby Snowflake the snowflake still has a chance of dropping on lower chevron npcs, but they're not as likely to drop. Perfect Snowflakes have a *very* good chance of dropping at least once on your Chill Simulacrums bodies(the higher the chevrons, the better) I say this as Tseng curses on ventrilo because of his apparent lack of a snowflake after killing six chill simulacrums. However, that is a rare occurance. After killing the first round of Chill Simulacrums, head onwards to drop off the first two presents. From here, run to the next zone again without hyperjumping and you'll find another spawn of Chill Corrupters. Head on to finish the mission off and recieve two perfect snowflakes, so one way or another you will recieve two perfect snowflakes.
The Loophole:
For those of you who have plenty of info, and don't really need masses of Snowflakes you might just want to call the mission get to the first spawn of NPCs, kill them, then restart the mission.
