This is a group task that begins with Kuutas Gigglegibber in the Plane of Knowledge (located next to the Plane of Tranquility portal).
Pre-Requisites for Requesting:
- Completion of "Gathering Holiday Cheer" (his solo task)
- Someone must also have "Frostfell Cheer Potion" in order to complete the mission
This mission scales in level up to 95+ (it isn't known what its lower limit is, but is believed to scale all the way down the same as "Gathering Holiday Cheer"). At its highest level, you can expect non-named mobs in this mission to hit for a max ~6,500 while names hit for up to ~7,500. Most mobs have ~500,000 to 700,000 hitpoints each. They have high assist ranges for an indoor zone. The Icewell sentries in the zone do not assist your kill targets.
As part of the lead-in for "Gathering Holiday Cheer", you see:
Kuutas Gigglegibber says 'I knew you'd come through for Frostfell. I thank you, and my legion of underpaid Gigglegibber goblins thanks you. If you can get this done for us, bring back the Frostfell Cheer potion and I'll send you on a mission to inject Santug with it. If you've already brought back the syringe, you're ready to [start] the mission.'
You say, 'We're ready to start the mission'
Kuutas Gigglegibber says 'Very well. Santug is planning to spend Frostfell up at Icewell Keep; apparently the coldain king is away on a trip and letting Santug stay there along with his entourage. Say the [word] and I'll tell you more.'
You say, 'Consider this your word...'
Kuutas Gigglegibber says 'Talk to Graat over there and he will send you on your way. Good luck getting to Santug!'
You have been assigned the task 'Operation: Jolliness (By Any Means Necessary)'.
Kuutas Gigglegibber has made the Frostfell Cheer Potion, now it will be up to you to actually administer it to Santug Claugg to help improve his mood enough to want to celebrate Frostfell again. Graat Gigglegibber has teleported you to Icewell Keep, where King Dain Frostreaver IV and his court have gone on an expedition, and agreed to let Santug's entourage stay at the Keep through the holiday season.
Graat Gigglegibber stands nearby. Say "leave" to him to zone into the instanced version of Icewell Keep.
You say, 'Hail, Graat Gigglegibber'
Graat Gigglegibber says 'So you're off to save Frostfell are ya? I hope so. I have 10 hungry kids at home and there will be heck to pay if this gig falls through. Just let me know when you are ready to [leave] and I will send you to Santug's retreat.'
You say, 'Ready to leave!'
LOADING, PLEASE WAIT...
You have entered Santug's Retreat (Level 90).
- Speak to Santaug's manager, Jaxon Bardison, and see if there is an easy way to see Santug and give him the potion. 0/1 (Icewell Keep)
You say, 'Hail, Jaxon Bardison'
Jaxon Bardison says 'Bah! No way, friend. Santug isn't seeing anyone. Not today, not for the rest of the winter at least! He's not seeing anyone, Frostfell is not happening this year or any year, he's made up his mind, he's put his foot down, he's had it up to here, he's not putting up with it any longer. You'll have to come back some other time. The orders he left with his bodyguard were to defend his privacy to the death, so unless you want to end up a meal for the ice dragon down in the Keep's community hall, you best make tracks back to wherever you came from. Look, I'm sad about losing Frostfell too, my kids love it, but Santug's really been through enough. He even had the dragon use his magic to put a magical protection aura around him.'
