Snow Minion

 is a type of Minion that produce and collect. They are a reward from opening Gifts. Like s, s do not have a Collection and thus cannot be crafted.

Obtaining
s are obtained from opening Gifts. The chance of obtaining a  for each type of Gift is listed below.

Usage

 * Although s are the fastest non tier-11 minion in Hypixel SkyBlock, they are just used as a method of gaining skill xp.
 * It is not recommended to use s for Coins like s, but they have the capability to generate a little more coins.
 * If the player uses an, a , and a or  then it will generate  every hour when sold to NPC and quite a bit more (unless a  is used) to the Bazaar.
 * s pair extremely well with the, providing a still subpar money method as s can be sold to the bazaar or NPC.
 * Use a or  as this minion fills up much faster than s, even with a.
 * Players who don't check the minion often enough should consider using s or s since they automatically sell extra minion outputs for a portion of the NPC sell price (50% for budget, 90% for enchanted).

Super Compactor vs Compactor

 * When sold to the Bazaar, normal s will sell for more than s when comparing their price per, meaning if each sells for  and each  sells for  (these values can very well change), each  will cost  if selling s but costs <1 coin if selling.
 * However, using s will allow the minion to fill up much slower, as using s overnight will often result in a full minion by morning. Also, if a is used, remember to take out only the s and NOT the s; otherwise, the player's inventory will fill up very fast.
 * s are incredibly cheap to upgrade, costing only 2 stacks of s for the final upgrade, and one costs a mere to upgrade from tier 1 to tier 11.
 * s can also be a good source of XP to level up the Mining Skill. s provide around 7,000  XP and therefore are considered one of the best ways to gather large quantities of it.
 * When selling s and s, make sure to sell the s to a Merchant as diamonds often goes for very little in the Bazaar. As for s, if sells for more than 600 coins (currently: ) and if normal  sells for more than 4 coins (currently: ) in the Bazaar, sell it there. Otherwise, sell the s in NPC too.

Tips

 * The is the minion that gives the second most  XP behind, which was really useful since manually grinding mining without a good Mining gear or have  as mayor with 1.5x Mining XP on public islands used to be extremely inefficient. With the introduction of ,  XP is much easier to grind, making  not as important.
 * The trade price for a is usually around  for a t11, but it's often quite popular due to the very inexpensive cost of upgrading from t1 to t11 and the high market value for t11 s.
 * Before the Bazaar Update, this was the best minion for money, as everyone just sold the minion's products to NPCs. However, since the Bazaar Update, a lot of minions, especially Slayer Minions and minions which produce items in high demand, are consistently over twice as good as in terms of profitability.
 * Due to how fast the 's action time is, a with a  produces more s than a.
 * Since it is not crafted with a, this minion does not get affected by the 25% mining minion speed buff from mayor.
 * s and s are needed to upgrade this minion from Tier 1 to Tier 11.
 * Using a Tier 11 with a, , and , the  generates around  per day.
 * Since it is a very good source of XP, it is recommended to have a partial  setup if the player does not want to mine manually.
