Within the Event, the game offers a total of 12 ways to gather Medals File:Thawfest medal.png, 3 of them are a one-time only way. The How to Play section from the Thawfest Event includes shortcuts to the respective ways of gathering Medals, so that players can quickly head from one point to another point without having to walk and wait longer.
One-Time Only
In tradition to the seasonal Holidays, Thawfest-themed quests are introduced and there are 3 of them, each rewarding a different amount of Medals. The infamous Chicken gets the Gold Quest gets a sequel - The Golden Hue of Chicken.
Repeatable
Major Minigames
One of the main features introduced with the Dreadfall Event is back! Daily Quests are repeteable quests with a time limit to be completed. Three quests from a pool of 8 are offered every day, and can be seen by clicking on the Thawfest Board in New Berk. After completing 2 of them, a variable amount of File:Thawfest medal.png is rewarded. This amount depends on the consecutive day the player has been doing the quests, not much different than the log-in rewards. All Dailies reward an extra 20 to 25 File:Thawfest medal.png, so completing all three gives an extra 60+ File:Thawfest medal.png.
As in previous events, on the 6th consecutive day the Daily Missions are not available. They will reset to day 1 on the next day.
As for May 1st, 2022, the Daily Quest Board has been temporarily removed.
2 new levels have been added alongside with the old ones, some renamed. They award Medals once each every 20h, with more difficult levels awarding more Medals, for a total of ? File:Thawfest medal.png. Dragon Tactics Levels also reward Exchangeable Items such as the Thawfest Screaming Death Armor.

Medals in multiplayer are also awarded once per place every 20h.
Special Stable Missions that award Medals have been introduced for the event. There are a total of 15 quests, 5 new from last year, all appear in the 4th slot, and to save players time in discarding missions, all other normal missions for the slot have been temporarily removed. They award 5-160 File:Thawfest medal.png, and can last from 1.5 to 48 hours. Longer missions award a higher number of medals.
Even Battle Events had an image update in line with the event, with 2 ships appearing once every hour instead of the usual one. Their HP has been increased with respect to their normal counterparts, and they only award File:Thawfest medal.png instead of mystery chests:
- Thawfest Scout, 15,000 HP;
- Thawfest Scout, 12,000 HP;
The amount of Medals awarded depends on the result and the type of the ship:
Known Glitches
- Being in MMO, usual issues due to server overloads and/or unstable internet connections can occur frequently (like: being logged out, MMO not working, servers call out)
- While the hourly Battles were considered as a good change, it unfortunately resulted in the previous glitches (such as Invincible Ship and Stuck Ship) happened much more frequently than usual.
Minor Minigames
