If you die at the end, just don't fight and let the snowmen do all the work. It's what I do

Just stand at the gate, waiting for the snowmen to kill them off.

Quest is very easy run past the first two groups of grentchies while they kill your allies, Kill the lone grentchie, run past another group kill another lone grenchie, run past the two on the side, run past the next grentchies while they kill your allies. Kill the lone grentchie and your at freezie in about 3 mins, Then just let your allies tank while you mop up the waves and if you get in trouble just kite or use fortress and wait for your allies to auto res.

I'm praying for one. About to open the chest...wish me luck :O

I wish it was a mini frosty not a bear

EDIT: No bear.

Guys,

We're very sorry about this mixup! Bottom line: Yes, that little critter is genuine, and we're sorry that the OP has been a little griefed about this!

What happened was, the code has been in place for over a year, but we didn't enable it until this Wintersday event. I had been asked about the in the DAT file a long time ago, but I knew it was not enabled in the game at that time. Well, it was added to the game in a clever stealth update by some of the designers, and not even we (Community Team members) knew it was there! (I figure they did that because they already knew of my obsession with the Wintersday Event, and with the quests, and they knew I'd be in there 24/7, pushing people out of the way, scrambling to get up close and personal with the Rift Warden, etc., etc.

)

As for warning: The team designed not to announce the presence of this new miniature, but let it be discovered, just as we did for the Ghostly Hero and Mini Mallyx. That's why we didn't give warning.

Sorry for the delay in responding and congratulations to Witchblade. If you ever need a babysitter for the little guy, let me know.

I actually think i'll hold off on farming for it lol.
I just remembered the charr salvage kit when it first came out in pre.....23 runs before i got one....*twitch*

Oh Gaile, do you know if it is as rare as mallyx and ghostly then? :O

I bet it was added when they fixed the ferry exploit....

Mordakai · Jan 02, 2008, 08:45 PM // 20:45

Gaile, is it permanent or just for Wintersday 2007?

Arduin · Jan 02, 2008, 08:46 PM // 20:46

Let us just hope we will still be able to get the mini in the days to come...

littlejay · Jan 02, 2008, 08:47 PM // 20:47

How about a confrimation of where it comes from? It is said to be from the wintersday chest, is the title Polar Bear Attendant false? Do you have to complete certains quests or is it just a luck drop? How much longer till wintersday is official over?

Along with the others, i would also like to know if its a permenent addition, and if there will be a way to get one post Wintersday. I want one of those cute things

Selket · Jan 02, 2008, 08:51 PM // 20:51

Hopefully its forever, because otherwise that would kinda blow except for the people who get one.

Gaile Please Anwser us this:

Is it Wintersday 2007 event only, or is it a random drop like the update for the icy dragon swords?

onerabbit · Jan 02, 2008, 08:54 PM // 20:54

Grrr, this whole even ive had no lagg, asoon as i find this out, bang, LAG?!?

Gaile Gray · Jan 02, 2008, 08:54 PM // 20:54

There are two kinds of chests:

The Wintersday Chest -- This is the chest that is available only through two special Wintersday quests.

The Chest of Wintersday Past -- This is the chest that stands at all times at the end of the Secret Lair of the Snowmen quest.

The only chest that will provide the Miniature Polar Bear is the Wintersday Chest, and that will be gone very soon, likely sometime tonight. Will it return during Wintersday 2008? That's pretty likely.
