Honestly, I prefer the Wintersday Moa over the Jingle Bear. I wish they would have made it tameable instead.

In any case, bear will stay with characters who tamed it, but the location to tame the bear will go away with Wintersday. That is my guess.

I want to know too if it will be possible to tame the bear after wintersday is over.

i'm guessing that in 2 pages since no one has actually answered the question that we will have to wait until wintersday is over to find out.

I'm going to put myself out on a limb, but I think that the Jingle Bear is probably considered part of the Wintersday Festival and it will disappear with the closing of the event. It's supposed to be a reward for finishing all four Wintersday Eye of the North quests so I suspect that it will go away and you'll have to redo the quests again next year.

Since all the other Wintersday quests in this game are pretty much reset every year, regardless if you did them the previous year, then I can't see how this Jingle Bear bonus is any different. Keeping the Jingle Bear around forever will just make it another boring animal that anybody can capture, and it'll lose any kind of interesting flavor that it had.

In the end, it's up to ArenaNet to decide, but if they keep that bear around forever, then it's no different than just passing out festival hats to anybody at any time. It effectively negates the whole purpose of tying it to a specific festival.

Anyone got any answers from the anet people regarding this question? Hate to see the bear go after wintersday. :P

Codin The Great · Dec 26, 2008, 06:50 AM // 06:50

i dont think u can get jingle bear after efvent becuase u got to do the quests in order to get it.

Quaker · Dec 26, 2008, 04:43 PM // 16:43

I don't think you'll be able to get (tame) a Jingle Bear after the event, but the question is, will the ones you've already tamed, remain?

recon54 · Dec 26, 2008, 09:12 PM // 21:12

perhaps they will move the Jingle Bear after wintersday. Maybe they will put it in the Secret Lair of Snowmen when Wday ends. Or maybe they wont, only Anet knows the final outcome of it.

Kayelyyb · Dec 26, 2008, 10:02 PM // 22:02

actually the question that was asked is if he finishes the quest on all chars he has but doesn't take the time to collect the pet once wintersday is over will it still be waiting for him or not? i suspect it will be gone.

If the bear remained, it would be available to anyone who could find someone who had completed the quests and was willing to guide them to Gwen's Garden. That would mean that the bear--for all intents and purposes--would be available year round.

(Picture the trade channel: "Guide to Jingle Bear! 2k!")

Since that would destroy its uniqueness as a holiday gift, I doubt that ArenaNet would allow it. My guess is that the bears that haven't already been charmed will disappear after the holiday.

'Course we won't know for sure until the celebrations are over.

Quaboag · Jan 11, 2009, 03:28 AM // 03:28

Well, the decorations are down, the snow has melted, but Jingle is still there. Looks like I was wrong.

[DE] · Jan 11, 2009, 03:49 AM // 03:49

I am in desperate need of a Jingle Bear. Someone show me the way to the Garden of Gwen where mystical bears play and jingle plox.

SerenitySilverstar · Jan 11, 2009, 08:54 PM // 20:54

Walk out into Ice Cliffs from EOTN. Turn sharp right. Stay on the ice until you hit the cliff, all of 30 seconds. See 2 humps of ground with a well and sparkly lights. Charm. Enjoy.

KIDGOOCH · Jan 13, 2009, 07:37 PM // 19:37

This maybe a silly question, but I'll ask anyway. Can you run someone else out there to cap the bear or is he only tameable if you completed the tasks?

The garden appears only if you have someone in your party who has the quest in their log; anyone in that party can tame the bear.

stretchs · Jan 13, 2009, 08:49 PM // 20:49

Actually the garden is always there, and has been always there, its just the bear's appearance that has changed. Prior the garden was there, but no bear, now with the quests being completed there is jingleness in the garden

Just to be clear - the Jingle bear will be there if someone in your party completed all the EoTN wintersday quests. They won't actually show in their log since they were completed.
