- After defeating 600 monsters near your level in any field, the event monster ‘Mystic Snowman’ will appear. 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.
- In personalized fields, there may be a brief cooldown if another Mapler has recently summoned a Mystic Snowman.

- Each Snowman’s Crystal allows you to attempt to [Bless] your Pudgy, which has a chance to increase its level. A Pudgy can grow to a maximum of Level 9.
|
|
| Success | Your Pudgy's level increases by 1. |
| Failure | Your Pudgy's level remains the same. |
| Frustration | The 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 Pudgy | This 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.
