Lesser chest: energy kit, gold 500g-3k, epic gear, crate token, legendary pet.
Greater chest: energy kit, gold 800g-5k, epic-legend gear, crate token, mythic pet.--
Tier Boss drops:
Event bosses must have some appealing drops so we don't end up bored after the first few runs and push players to farm for actual profit.
Standard.
Zodias lock, Winter lock,winter gear Chest, vanity backpack, lesser chest.
Gold tier.
All the aforementioned + winter related myth/arc pets, empowered orb recipe, greater chest.
Platinum tier.
All the aforementioned + extra winter related arc/heroic pets, vanity aura.
Pets: A.Iceball, Glacian, Whim, KnK, InC, Melathrax, Seirian, Re-Gifter, Baby Blizzerax, Chester, the heroics previously mentioned and maybe add 1 of the new pets to be released on the event.
-Syrillax only: Snow Dragon's wing Badge. (Silver-framed Badge with Syrillax's wing).
-Elite Guards only: Karnos's Badge, Teros' Badge, Veldos' Badge (Silver-Frame Badges each one has it's correspondent Guard Face).
Brood:
Make brood open by cracking flamestones and running the event, the higher tier the boss the more points it grants towards opening brood, this way brood will open more frequently (probably will take 1-2 hours since the brood egg is found) as I recall the reason for the coin removal was brood not being available enough time on different time zones.
Remove Blitzer and Iceball recipes from the loot table, absolutely nobody uses these recipes.
Add further heroics to the loot table there are plenty of ice/cold related heroics to choose from.
Add vanity set chest (pls no winterfest recolor there are plenty already) (can be a gingerbread cookie set, elf set, etc).
Add a piece of gear that makes brood farm desirable (ring/amulet/artifact) it can have a mild effect when wore such as archon/winter star rings or myth amulets lvl31. Maybe can make an item that gives a passive effect by simply carrying it in the inventory just like bane items or undead orb work.
Add new furnishing (ice table, chairs, icicles, frozen puddles, ice cubes, etc).
Add Badge: Brood's Wing (Frame same color of Brood dragon with Brood's Wing).
Tier Rewards:
Tier rewards (bronze-gold) should be helpful for early stage players just giving a vanity banner or a title won't help at all, adding jwl chests (that give primary Stat), ankh, respec scrolls, etc. Can help them progress.
Don't forget to make platinum tier worth the grind, it's a 3 week event and winter usually requires a lot of points.
Bronze: Banner, 1 Unlocked Chest, Primary stat jwl chest (Standard-Noble). Banner, 1 Enhanced Unlocked Chest (Mythic+ items have increased rate), 1 Brood lix.
Silver: 2 Unlocked Chests, Primary stat jwl chest (Fortified-Exquisite), 50 ankh, Brood lix. 2 Enhanced Unlocked Chest, Primary stat jwl chest (Excellent-Exquisite), 2 Brood lix.
Gold: 3 Unlocked Chests, Primary stat jwl chest (Excellent-Precise), New pet (not egg) (Legendary-Heroic), 2 Brood lix. 3 Enhanced Unlocked Chest, Primary stat jwl chest (Superb-Precise), New Pet (not egg), 2 Brood lix. (If already have the pet ,receive egg)
Platinum: 5 Unlocked chests, Primary stat jwl chest (Superb-Flawless), Vanity Set/Backpack/Banner/Aura/Weapon (any of the mentioned or a mix of them), 50 Platinum, Title. 3 Enhanced Unlocked Chest, Primary stat jwl chest (Noble-Flawless), Vanity Set/Backpack/Banner/Aura/Weapon (any of the mentioned or a mix of them), 25-50 Platinum, Title. (Can alternate the platinum tier vanity reward each week of the event).
LB Rewards:
Don't make the difference between tops too big, every lb reward should be worth the grind, nobody running for lb will use fortified jwls. Give decent amounts of platinum 100+ per top. Don't give ankhs, once again nobody running for lb will need any more ankhs.
Top 50: banner (give it some snowy effect)/backpack, 100platinum, noble class specific jwl.
Top 25: banner, backpack, badge/title, 150platinum, exquisite class specific jwl.
Top 5: banner, backpack, badge, title, set (helm/armor) that gives aura, 250platinum, precise class specific jwl.

W.2: Reach Platinum Tier, Gather up to 10k tokens total, Kill Brood 100 times, Kill 500 enemies from Event.
