How to Get Rudolphin (Step-by-Step)

Requirements

✅ 9,000 Candy Canes (event currency) ✅ Access to Christmas Event Shop (available at spawn) ✅ Account Level: No level requirement

Step 1: Access the Christmas Event Shop

1. Teleport to Spawn Island (Home button)
2. Find the Christmas Event Shop NPC

- Located near the main plaza

- Look for the red and white shop tent - NPC wears a Santa hat

1. Open the Event Shop Menu

Step 2: Farm 9,000 Candy Canes

There are 3 methods to farm Candy Canes:

Method 1: Gift Pop (Most Efficient)

How It Works:

• Volcanic-themed minigame where gifts spawn randomly
• Break gifts by clicking on them
• Collect rewards before time runs out
• Risk: Gifts can explode and give you 0 rewards

Rewards:

• Safe Gifts: 10-20 Candy Canes per run (5min game)
• Risky Gifts: 50+ Candy Canes OR 0 (if explode)

Strategy:

1. Queue for Gift Pop at the event NPC
2. Focus on small gifts first (safer, less explosion risk)
3. Only break large gifts if you have 30+ seconds remaining
4. Aim for 120-200 Candy Canes per hour

Warning: Gift Pop has major issues with "vulture players" who don't participate but steal rewards. Use private servers if available.

Method 2: ShadeKnight Boss Farming (Recommended)

How It Works:

• ShadeKnight (Neverland boss) drops Candy Canes
• 5-15 Candy Canes per kill
• Also drops Stardust Shards (evolution materials)

Efficiency:

• 10-12 kills per hour (server hopping)
• 80-150 Candy Canes per hour
• Bonus: Stardust Shards + ShadeKnight Egg drops

Strategy:

1. Travel to Neverland (deepest area)
2. Defeat ShadeKnight (2-3min fight)
3. Collect Candy Canes + other loot
4. Server hop for instant respawn
5. Repeat until you have 9,000 Candy Canes

Why This is Best: ✅ No competition for loot ✅ Multi-purpose farming (evolution materials + Candy Canes) ✅ More consistent than Gift Pop

Method 3: Santa Rush (Not Recommended)

How It Works:

• PvP minigame where you grab a gift and hold it
• Longer you hold = more points = more rewards
• 30-50 Candy Canes per win

Why It Doesn't Work: ❌ Nobody plays it (matchmaking fails) ❌ Requires 6+ players to start ❌ Not worth the wait time (20+ min queues)

Verdict: Skip Santa Rush unless you have a coordinated group.

Step 3: Purchase Rudolphin

1. Return to Christmas Event Shop
2. Scroll to "Rudolphin Flying Mount" (bottom of shop)
3. Cost: 9,000 Candy Canes
4. Click "Purchase"
5. Rudolphin is added to your Mount Inventory

Step 4: Equip & Use Rudolphin

1. Open Inventory
2. Navigate to "Mounts" tab
3. Select Rudolphin
4. Click "Equip"
5. Press "M" key (or mount button) to summon and fly

Should You Get Rudolphin? (Worth Analysis)

Pros of Rudolphin

✅ Only flying mount in game (unique ability) ✅ Fastest travel speed (+181% vs walking) ✅ Time-saver for boss farming routes ✅ Limited-time exclusive (FOMO factor) ✅ No daily maintenance cost (permanent unlock) ✅ Looks amazing (cosmetic flex)

Cons of Rudolphin

❌ Extremely grindy (30-75 hours of farming) ❌ Opportunity cost (could buy evolution materials instead) ❌ Not essential (you can complete all content without it) ❌ Event-locked (must grind during Christmas event)

Alternative Uses for 9,000 Candy Canes

Instead of Rudolphin, you could buy:

• 90x Red Gems (100 Candy Canes each) - Rare evolution material
• 30x Event Eggs (300 Candy Canes each) - Pinecarol monster
• 180x Blue Gems (50 Candy Canes each) - Common evolution material

Our Recommendation:

• Hardcore Players: Get Rudolphin first (QoL > everything)
• Casual Players: Buy Red Gems → Evolution materials are rarer
• Collectors: Get 1 Rudolphin + 1 Event Egg (balanced approach)

Rudolphin vs Other Mounts (Comparison)

Why Rudolphin is Best:

1. Flying completely changes movement (skip terrain)
2. 40% faster than any ground mount
3. Exclusive to Christmas event (rarity value)

When Ground Mounts are Better:

• Never. Rudolphin is objectively the best mount in every scenario.
