Smile Tutorial: Farming Strength of Snow

I'm not sure this goes anywhere else, but I made a good video showing exactly how to do the quest, Strength of Snow, fast and avoid about every grinch. (on Lvl 8, Survivor, Necro)

Heres the video:

I been doing this run about ~80 times on my survivor(working on him). Good luck everyone!!!

Merry Christmas!


--------------------
The reason why I made the video was to help my friend out, who cannot do this quest. He keeps dying. AT LEAST i put some time into making the video and editing, and not make one at all

and 1 1/2 stars... WTF??

Please post something useful.... and I did this to level up my necromancer.... so trolls go away... thanks

Very slow, usually 7-10 minutes for the total run, if you fight the single grentches and help fight at the end. If you avoid them all until the end and then help fight at the end you can knock off a minute.

I just run to the end with my Monk then go AFK while the Snowmen kill the Grentches.

Easy money.

If you need a tutorial on how to do strength of snow, you are horrible at GW.

That said, nice vid, and a good spirit behind your post. Good for those who were posting in riverside that they couldn't manage 1v2 against grentches/snowmen.

No one was giving your video negative comments if you look at the broader perspective.

They were just pointing out the fact that this quest shouldn't really need one, it's very easy to do.

I usually do this on My Ranger and i make it in 6min ~ (Flurry of Ice spam wins!) And this quite slow:P Also i barrely use my Snowcome ONCE..So think u should be able to only use it once as well.

Someone I know said a little trick (not really a trick, but whatever) that requires 2 accounts. Run to the end on your first account and stand at the door. Then, switch to the other account and do the same. Then, switch back to the 1st account and the snowmen should be done, so get the chest and restart the quest. Then run him to the door and switch back, and the 2nd one should be done. Keep rotating like this until you get yourself a mini polar bear

Very true Scythe of Glory.

and 2 1/2 stars... wtf??

Man, you're defensive.. and for no reason as no one's been bashing you.

Anyhow.. good job with the vid & good luck to your friend.
