Yeah, I'm skipping groups with my ranger (I think ranger has the best skill, aoe helps with last fight) and I still finish at 7 minutes. Faster than 5 really is a lie. That makes 12 runs per hour at best, but you still have to zone and rezone to get new quest etc. If you can do 25 runs on two accounts simultaneously in 1 hour, you are doing the impossible.

50? Dream on.

Nothing in his post adds up...
Time, and cc shards gotten...
Even if you have really really bad luck, you have far more cc shards by the 50th run than 241. Also like the others said, it's impossible to do 50 runs in an hour. You, my friend, are exaggerating a bit.

I skip every Grentch on my way to the end battle, and if I feel like it, I help out there too. Runs average between 7-10 minutes.

I'm not doing it for the MPB but for the shards.
You lie! I had over a stack at 12 runs.

How do you skip the Grentches? Don't they hit you with snowballs?

I'll probably do this some. I still need booze for the drunkard title and my daughter needs sweets and party points for those title. This is as good a way to do it as any other, I suppose.

So far 30 runs. 2 stacks of CC shards. no MPB. I'm taking my sweet time killing everything along the way and pickingup every last shard. No cons and afking at the last fight. Averaging 13 minutes/ run. I didnt get a MPB last year; but i made alot of mony selling all the junk i got. Dont need it. Allready maxed all titles.

Well I got mine last year so not farming it this year.
I am doing a survivor on it for the 1000xp per run ( deaths don't count here ) and sweet points tile
so if it happens to drop well it drops.

Most of them you can just run past as they are fighting snowmen and won't bother you.

As for "as good a way ... as any other" not really
Farming pretty much anything will get you the items way faster than this {raptors are still king IMO} and it's not great for shards either.
snowball fight @ EoTn is more shards for a reward and you can do it maybe 5 or 6 times vs 1 on this.

This is mostly for people hoping to get the super rare mini drop no matter what they say about it.

Is this mission repeatable or does it go away after you accept the reward?

It is repeatable. Zone in and out of Kamadan/LA and you'll be able to accept it again.

dang lol I wish I would have known that! I heard from someone that you should cancel the reward so you can keep doing it over and over. I missed out on quite a bit of shards.. oh well thanks for clearing that up for me

I'm farming the quest with the hope of getting an MPB, but I'm being realistic and appreciating the CC shards and the consumables.
