# Every Way to Earn Snowflakes in the Server Economy
> From passive chat earnings to high-risk crime, here's every way to grow your Snowflake balance — with cooldowns, payout ranges, and what can go wrong.
There are many ways to earn Snowflakes in Xtreme Weather. Some are passive and automatic, others require a command, and a few come with real risk. The sections below cover every earning method, including how long you have to wait between uses.
Crime and rob can go badly. A failed crime gets you fined and jailed for 15–30 minutes. A failed robbery costs you 10–18% of your total wealth. If you're jailed, most economy commands are blocked until your sentence ends — or you pay bail.
Every message you send in the main Xtreme Weather server automatically earns you **2 Snowflakes**. There is no cooldown and no command to run — it happens in the background just for participating in the server.
**No cooldown.** Earnings are small per message but add up steadily over time.
Claim a daily Snowflake reward once every 24 hours. The amount you receive scales with your streak — the more consecutive days you claim, the higher your payout tier.
| Streak | Payout range per day |
| --------- | ------------------------ |
| 1+ days | ❄️ 1,000 – 2,000 |
| 7+ days | ❄️ 3,000 – 5,000 |
| 14+ days | ❄️ 8,000 – 12,000 |
| 30+ days | ❄️ 25,000 – 40,000 |
| 60+ days | ❄️ 75,000 – 120,000 |
| 90+ days | ❄️ 250,000 – 400,000 |
| 180+ days | ❄️ 750,000 – 1,200,000 |
| 365+ days | ❄️ 2,500,000 – 4,000,000 |
If you miss a day, your streak resets to 1. You can use a **Streak Restore** item to recover a broken streak.
**Cooldown: 24 hours.**
Work a randomly assigned weather-themed job and earn Snowflakes. Jobs range from forecasting blizzards for the NWS to chasing tornadoes across the plains to hauling stone at Animal Farm. Pay varies by job — some gigs pay as little as ❄️ 180 and others pay up to ❄️ 1,000 before scaling.
Your payout also scales with your current balance and your prestige level (if you've prestiged at least once, you earn a permanent percentage bonus on all work payouts).
**Cooldown: 1 minute.**
Cast your line and pull up a catch from the pond. Catches span eight rarity tiers: Junk (❄️ 0), Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Mythic, and the ultra-rare Ultrafish tier (❄️ 1,000,000,000 flat). The payout for each catch is randomized within the tier's range.
Examples of what you might catch:
* **Common** — Largemouth Bass (❄️ 2,500 – 8,500), Cold Front Carp (❄️ 2,500 – 9,000)
* **Rare** — Mammatus Cloud Cod (❄️ 120,000 – 240,000), PDS Torcon Trout (❄️ 75,000 – 185,000)
* **Legendary** — Snowball's Return (❄️ 1,000,000 – 2,000,000), Squall Line Champion (❄️ 1,500,000 – 3,000,000)
* **Mythic** — The Xtreme Weather Event (❄️ 20,000,000 – 50,000,000)
Using a **Storm Caller** item before casting guarantees a Legendary or Mythic catch on your next cast.
**Cooldown: 5 minutes.**
Run a propaganda operation across Animal Farm. On success (roughly 40% base chance), you earn a substantial payout — narratives range from rewriting the Seven Commandments to issuing fake tornado warnings. On failure, you're caught and fined.
Success payouts range from approximately ❄️ 2,000 to ❄️ 6,300. Failure fines range from approximately ❄️ 200 to ❄️ 600. Your prestige level increases your success payouts.
**Cooldown: 5 minutes.** Locked during the Dogs Patrol server event.
Attempt a crime for a large payout. Crime succeeds roughly 40% of the time. If it succeeds, you pocket ❄️ 50,000–125,000 base (before balance scaling and prestige bonuses). If it fails, you are fined a percentage of your total wealth and **jailed for 15–30 minutes**.
While jailed, most economy commands are blocked. You can pay 20% of your wealth as bail to get out early, or use a **Bail Bond** item to skip jail automatically.
**Cooldown: 15 minutes.** Locked during the Dogs Patrol server event.
Start a multi-step narrative mission based on your current economy path (Farm, Weather, or EAS). You pick from up to three available missions, and then Snowball DMs you a series of two-choice questions. Your payout depends on how many you answer correctly.
Mission payouts are based on your highest-tier owned role's payout multiplied by 8, then scaled by your score and prestige level. Missions must be completed in your DMs — make sure Snowball can DM you before starting.
You need to own at least one shop role before missions unlock. Higher-tier roles unlock higher-tier missions with larger payouts.
**Cooldown: 3 hours.**
Attempt to steal Snowflakes from another member's **wallet**. The target must have at least ❄️ 100 in their wallet, and you need at least ❄️ 50 in your wallet to attempt it. The base success rate is 40%.
If you succeed, you steal 10–40% of the target's wallet balance. If you fail, you are fined 10–18% of your total wealth (wallet + bank combined).
Rob is blocked if the target has a **Rob Shield** (consumed on block) or **Napoleon's Favor** active (24-hour immunity, not consumed). Certain server events change the success rate — Open Season removes the cooldown entirely, Fox in the Henhouse raises success to 80%, and Dogs Patrol disables rob completely.
**Cooldown: 10 minutes** (bypassed during Open Season).
If you own any roles from the shop, each one pays out on a timer. Use `/economy collect` to claim everything that's ready. Roles that aren't ready yet show when they next become available.
Role payouts vary by path and tier. See the Shop section of the [Minigames, shop, and stocks](/economy/games-shop) page for details on role costs and payout amounts.
**Cooldown: per-role**, set at purchase time.
Your daily streak is the best passive income multiplier in the game. A 30-day streak pays up to ❄️ 40,000 per day — more than most single work or fish runs. Claim it every day and use a **Streak Restore** item if you accidentally miss one.
