Snowshoes can be worn in addition to one's boots or shoes. They are specially scripted for Icemule and Pinefar areas, but also work more generically everywhere else. They were sold at Facing the Elements during Briarmoon Cove 2020.

~ Snowshoes ~

The ash-framed snowshoes can be altered, but the noun must remain 'snowshoes'.  You'll find that messaging changes when you're inside vs. outside (and if you're outside around Icemule/Pinefar vs. everywhere else).

While worn and standing, you can TOUCH, PUSH, PULL, RUB, TURN, NUDGE, PROD, COVER, STOMP, LEAN, CURTSY, AND DANCE the snowshoes.

The ash-framed snowshoes have been unlocked twice.  They cannot be improved further.


You get no sense of whether or not the snowshoes may be further lightened.
