Talk:Snow Globe

Do snow globes have a chance of appearing in presents dropped in hardmode, or presents opened in hardmode? (Read strictly, the page currently seems to say opened, but I don't think it was written with that distinction in mind.) --Manxome 22:32, 15 December 2011 (UTC)


 * It seems the content of a box is randomly determined the moment it's opened, not dropped; however, a snow globe can be used in easymode worlds.Devieus 23:16, 15 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Snowglobes do drop on non hardmode worlds. It may be that the drop chance is higher on hardmode worlds however.86.155.16.76 02:07, 16 December 2011 (UTC)


 * I, too, can confirm that the Snow Globe can be acquired in a pre-hardmode world, as that's where I got my first one from. So, why are people constantly changing the page to say it only drops in hardmode after someone else edits the page to say it DOESN'T?--Pikaguy900 22:13, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, I just had a look at the code, and it's clear that Snow Globes can't be unpacked at all unless the world is in hardmode. It's literally "if (random chance && hardmode) then Snow Globe". No other relevant reference to item #602 anywhere. --Lunboks 22:20, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Snowglobe disappearing after quick stacking
i thought it was a coincidence but after trying it again i think i can confirm that snowglobes disappear if you quick stack while holding one and if there is another in the chest

Self Summonable?
The wiki says the Frost Legion can be summoned on their own in a Snow Biome... is this true?
 * No, that's not true at all. The Frost Legion is only summonable through use of a Snow Globe. I'm surprised something like that slipped through the cracks. --Gearzein (talk) 21:49, 22 November 2014 (UTC)
 * It managed to stay up there for two entire months. Crikey.  Equazcion ( talk ) 22:21, 22 Nov 2014 (UTC)

there are more ways of getting them
You don't need it to be christmas If you finish the snow christmas invasion with the naughty present, you get them dropping for a whole day (you actually get a whole christmas themed day in the game where everything works like it does in christmas time)

so you can get presents outside of christmas time, should be noted.
