Okay I know I'm completely overthinking this but Eternal Snow as a currency has always confused me. Like...from a visual standpoint, if you have a bunch in a pile, how do you know how many you have? How does Joxar count them? Why do they have to be piles? Snowballs would make a bit more sense. Or icicles. Eternal Icicles.
Am I alone in this? I probably am.
From here on out, I'm going to assume the snow is packed neatly in individual jars, or else I'm going to lose my mind [emoji=nocturne laughing size=2]

You just make a bunch of tiny snowballs so you can claim you have all this currency when you actually only have like five regular snowballs worth-
Then Joxar would have to have a literal snowball measurer, which is a hilarious image to think about

Dragons all carry a measuring cup during the Crystalline Gala. They have to scoop the snow and pack it in to count it out when they want to make purchases. It takes an awfully long time, really.

The value is based on weight. Joxar weighs it all out on a scale to determine what you're able to purchase.
Or at least that's my theory.

I always assumed there's just a standart volume of snow that counts as "one pile". And they measure it with a cup or something. Since it's eternal it's probably the kind that stays pourable (like when its really-really cold) and not the "melting into a droopy blob in your hands as you squish it" kind.

Same. I also imagine Joxar has a flame thrower to test for false eternal piles of snow.

How do you tell the difference between eternal snow and regular snow? Is it shiner?

yeah that's what i thought too. it would be funny if Joxar rolled them into snowballs though. for funsies.
