Each day, you can choose to raise either a Strong Pudgy or a Smart Pudgy. Once selected, the Pudgy will be registered in your raising UI.


Strong Pudgy	Smart Pudgy
Earns an increasing amount of Medal of Honor Box as it levels up.	Earns an increasing amount of Winter Coin Selection Coupons as it levels up.

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.

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. 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.
