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.

I feel thousands of people have just exploded in front of their computer screen

And the rift warden is going to become very popular.

Thanks for the information Gaile.

- It was getting chaotic in here.
Good you're allways here to "clean up", let's say Mother Guild Wars?

Nooooo, now i need to do this constantly in hope of getting one.

Tom Swift · Jan 02, 2008, 08:58 PM // 20:58

Wait a minute -

you put a rare mini in a chest on the last day of the wintersday festival and have it only available from that specific chest?

That's pretty crummy even for ANet.

I doubt there will be one in 2008 because if you keep treating players this way there won't be anyone left to play in a year.

It may be the case that it drops from the Chest of Wintersday Past at the end of Secret Lair of the Snowmen too, that would make sense anyway.

edit - strike that, just read the additional commentary

Learn to read.

*rofls at the amount of people VIEWING this thread*

Grats Witch! I didn't think it was a fake, heck the text is ick because we went from bmps to jpegs -_- And I think you have been hear long enough for me to believe you wouldn't post such stupidity. I would have thought that others would realize this too.

Anyways I give up farming - if I get one it will be because someone loved me enough to farm me one. GL to the rest of the farmers tho ^^

Croco Clouds · Jan 02, 2008, 09:02 PM // 21:02

Time to stay on the old build and farm till I get one? o ok.

Too bad guild wars will probably crash before I get one anyway forcing me to get the new build o;

You find a rare mini that you've never even heard of and you're not gonna go look at any site to confirm it?

Pfft, yeah, right.

And you know if they post it anywhere it'll get back to here.

You just caused the masses to implode. Actually, the devs did and you should go yell at them for two very good reasons. 1.Horrible decision to do it on the last day. That's gonna piss off a lot of people. 2. Said people will no doubt misdirect that pissed off feeling to you.

EDIT: Guess you can overlook that then. *points to post below*

But still, that fact they haven't dropped until today does not give high hopes of too many other people getting them.

See? And I think them justified.

Gaile Gray · Jan 02, 2008, 09:03 PM // 21:03

More info: The miniature has been in the chest the entire festival. 12 days. It was not added, it was only just retrieved towards the end of the Wintersday Festival and for all we know, more may be "out there" but we just haven't heard about them yet. (Edit to add: Let me make that clear. I am not confirming that only Witchblade has this miniature. Not at all. We haven't pulled files to see how many were retrieved, and it's pretty unlikely only one is there.)

Oh, and I fixed the GWW page so that the distinction between the two chests is clear there, as well.

Holy ****. A very rare mini indeed. Good luck for all the farmers out there, when only 1 (confirmed) mini has dropped over 12 days.

SaucE · Jan 02, 2008, 09:05 PM // 21:05

Going to be a long night... let the mass farming begin!

littlejay · Jan 02, 2008, 09:06 PM // 21:06
