Rave for the Cannibal and the Thief Lord. Or as I have come to realize, the 'scare the s@#t out of newbies Instructors'. 
Four hours later, but:
Edit: I found a wiccan before the Snowflake decayed!
Days of e-torment, four hours of questing and another hour of waiting for a wiccan, but I GOT MY NEW AB.
This is a very promising new year for me. Very promising.

From the crystal's bottom-most point, the frost collects into a glittering, impossibly beautiful
snowflake that detaches with a flare of ice-blue light, coming to rest in your hands.
Your karma rises in response to your deeds.
You gain a new honour!
The Hyperborean Crystal suddenly begins to splinter, spiderweb cracks forming along its surface
before it shatters into countless crystalline shards with a mighty crack, tumbling away into the pit
below.
Mister Frostono exclaims, "The Snowflake of Snoefaasia! Goodness, gracious me!"

He has crafted the Snowflake of Snoefaasia upon Frosticia.

Ssaliss kneels down and plants the Snowflake of Snoefaasia in the rich, loamy soil. As he presses
the dirt over it the ground immediately begins to freeze, tendrils of ice and frost spreading out in
a wide radius. A small flurry of snow whips up before settling over the frozen ground in a large
clump, from which an icy blue stalk shoots up before forming a snow-white bud and then immediately
blossoms into an icy snoefaasia orchid.

A single, glistening snowflake drifts in on an ethereal breeze, spinning delicately in the air.
Several of the flake's branches begin to grow, expanding rapidly before melting, swirling and
freezing into the form of a wintry snoefaasia.

There's not. Part of the storyline of the quest explains why. 
...at least, I'm pretty sure there's not.

Esano resists your summons!
Sparkling water splashes up over your body, healing your wounds.

Frothy water swirls at your feet and glowing foam travels up your body.

That was unexpected.
Then I got 3 other kills, but they were pushed out of the buffer. I only died at the end.
I'm getting much better at combat. I used to just panic and start floundering.QUOTE (AquaNeos @ Jan 1 2011, 06:09 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I'm getting much better at combat. I used to just panic and start floundering.Still a lot of improvement though.
First step is definitely getting over the nerves.
I'm looking forward to this year's Year in Review. 
Shouts rise up from the Village of Estelbar, as its denizens loudly pledge themselves to the Free Territories of Gaudiguch.
You should schedule a secret rendezvous with your dear brother, and bring Saaga, please.
As for me: Huuuuuge rave for the awesomeness of Shevats (and future Shevats).
