Which quest is the "best" to "farm"? Aka: fastest runs? I'm guessing strength of snow?

snoozer80 · Dec 20, 2009, 09:04 AM // 09:04

Maybe MPB will start to drop after some time. I mean they wont drop until i.e. 27 december or so..?

You would have to check last years thread I can't remeber now.

Strength of Snow gets my vote.

I also note no one has posted that they got one this year i'm sure last year there were a couple of drops on the first day the quest was avaliable.
Hmmm

This guy claims that 3 people in his alliance got them but of course no screenshots so not much to depend on.

Divine Ashes · Dec 20, 2009, 09:34 AM // 09:34

I've still yet to see a screenshot of it dropping yet, so we don't even know for sure it's out there >_>

chadS · Dec 20, 2009, 10:07 AM // 10:07

Considering people are selling them for 500e in town, I think they are.

Aussie Boy · Dec 20, 2009, 10:11 AM // 10:11

500e ? hmmm I haven't seen them anywhere for that but then i'm playing on Euro servers
Thats a big drop in price last year they were around 1700E

Also watch out for this scam again about ICE they do it every year.

Reflect · Dec 20, 2009, 11:09 AM // 11:09

just got 1 for 600e

Benderama · Dec 20, 2009, 11:33 AM // 11:33

so is there any way of easily avoiding the pop up grentches? i tried running past them but eventually i died ^^; (do sweets make a difference :3?)
i can't believe i didn't farm the MPB last year :O, will farm today i need the beer and sweets

.
oh yeah guys if you use the free trial of EN can you access the srength of snow quest without doing the first EN quests?

enmyria · Dec 20, 2009, 11:45 AM // 11:45

If you strafe while running, you should be able to dodge snowballs enough to survive. Alternatively, drop an avalanche on the grentches chasing you to slow them down. No clue about the free trial thing though.

Axeman002 · Dec 20, 2009, 11:46 AM // 11:46

if i do get one...dont expect a screenie as my PC is so dump it will probably lock up for 16 seconds and i would lose my MPB...and trust me you would not want to be in the near vicinity if that happens.

Aussie Boy · Dec 20, 2009, 11:49 AM // 11:49

Any sweets /consumables that give a speed boost do help in running.
Dodging is your best option Q E keys

I have been using all the Rock candies that Nic has given me and also Birthday cupcakes.
especially as I'm going for Sweet title at the same time as Survivor.
Dunno about the free trial so can't answer that.

Benderama · Dec 20, 2009, 12:12 PM // 12:12

I did the run well over 400 times last year. Heh, reading through some of your posts put a smile on my face. 20 runs and still no bear, huh? You poor soul.

Here, let me give some tips to the beginners out there. Don't waste your time fighting. Just run to the end and wait at the big, giant door. The snowmen just respawn at the last battle so you can go afk or do what I do; run two instances of GW.

Good luck to you all, but mostly good luck to me. Seriously, I need this bear.

Minami · Dec 20, 2009, 01:07 PM // 13:07

400 times? xD

1100 times here last year -.-

I don't think I'll go that nuts again this year, but I do need the sweets/party points, and of course the mini polar bear.

Wanted one last year so bad, and nothing. This year, I hope I get lucky and one drops for me.

Good luck everyone ^_^

Gli · Dec 20, 2009, 01:18 PM // 13:18

I did about 200 runs last year. Using 2 accounts this year, I'm already up to 90.

Still bearless of course.

Ewon · Dec 20, 2009, 02:00 PM // 14:00

WHat would people say is the best class for running this?

Warrior: for minimal speed increase?
Ranger: more damagge at the end?
Monk: Healing?
Para: Faster snowballs?

I'm doing it so I can watch movies and junk while still collecting sweets/alcohol/party points, not really for the MPB. If it comes, it comes. If it doesn't, who cares.

Same here, I just run to end bit then switch back to TV etc. for 10 mins then come back and collect my goodies & canes
