Snow Sculpting is the new Seasonal Hobby for the winter season. It is currently live during the Winter Frost Event, and players can unlock this new seasonal hobby to acquire snow sculptures. As it is not a main hobby and only a seasonal hobby, unlocking and upgrading this hobby is a bit different and expensive. In this guide, we will walk you through the Snow Sculpting Hobby in Heartopia.
Unlocking the Snow Sculpting hobby will require you to meet with Azure near the Winter Utopia Station in the Onsen Mountain region. You can take a bus ride to the station and go down the road to find Azure.
Once there, speak with Azure and select the “Fashionwave Hobby” option. It will open a menu from which you have to purchase the Snow Sculpting Hobby for 100 Wishing Stars. As you purchase the hobby, you will get the “Hobby Obtained” screen like other regular hobbies.
Azure also offers a 10x Snow Sculpting Hobby Upgrade Ticket for 50 Wishing Stars each and a Snowball Sculpting Bench for 5000 Gold in her Fashionwave Hobby store. The Snow Sculpting Hobby Upgrade Ticket is essential for upgrading the level of your Snow Sculpting Seasonal Hobby. Moreover, the Snowball Sculpting Bench is essential for building Snowmen and Sculptures using Snowballs.
NOTE: Do not purchase the Snowball Sculpting Bench, as Azure will give you one for free.
You cannot use the regular Hobby Upgrade Tickets to upgrade the level of Snow Sculpting Hobby. Purchase the special Snow Sculpting Hobby Upgrade Tickets and use them to upgrade the hobby once you have enough points. You earn points by making successful snow sculptures on the Snowball Sculpting Bench.
There are 5 upgrade levels for Snow Sculpting Hobby. Even though Azure has a stock of 10 upgrade tickets, you only need 4 of them to reach the max level. As you start from Level 1, you only have to upgrade 4 times to reach Level 5. It will cost you a total of 200 Wishing Stars for 4 hobby tickets.
After your initial encounter with Azure and purchasing the Snow Sculpting Hobby, speak with Azure again. She will give you a brief introduction on Snowballs and making Snow Sculptures. Go through the introduction, and you will receive the following items.
As Azure said in her introduction, you cannot gather regular snow and turn it into snowballs. Instead, you must place the Snowball Machine anywhere, and it will make a snowball. It takes 1 hour (real-life time) to make 1 snowball. If you switch off or pick up the Snowball Machine, the time will reset. It is best to place the Snowball Machine somewhere around or inside the house, so you don’t have to move it.
Once the Snowball has formed, collect it from the machine and take it to the Snowball Sculpting Bench. Select the icon on the bench to initiate the sculpting process. You have to click on the snow icons until the time runs out. Keep on clicking for snow icons on the screen for 20 seconds, and you will make a random Snow Sculpture. For every successful snow sculpture, you will earn 20 hobby points. You can use the Snow Sculptures to decorate your home freely.
TIP: Making your first successful snow sculpture is a part of the quest for Azure. Return to Azure to gain a reward of 10x Snowballs.
After completing the initial quest for the Snow Sculpting quest, you will have 10+ Snowballs. Use these snowballs to make the snow sculptures and earn hobby points.
If you have unlocked the Achievements by reaching D.G. Member’s Guild Level 15, you can earn the Snow King achievement from Snow Sculpting Hobby. To do so, you must reach Snow Sculpting Level 5.
