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

Oh - ok so you put it in in extraordinarly low numbers for limited time - yup, that makes it all better - kind like th pig fiasco last canthan new year.

Wow, so it's really, really rare.

See ya next year!

EDIT: Why are people complaining? I thought people liked rare drops?

2nd Edit: Geez, just read the quest http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/The_Strength_of_Snow

When you reached Freezie and killed the first 2 waves, you can simply go back where you came from and wait out the battle. The snowmen will get overrun but they resurect and will eventually kill all the Grenchies. This takes about 25 minutes.

To bad this info leaked out when there is only hours left to go. Not to mention the crummy drop rate of it since the 1st reported one showed up on the last day.

Dag nabbit! And I was complaining to friends on how these new quests were challenging but the reward didn't make it worth it after a few dozen times *eats words* =/

On the bright side, ignorance was bliss -- I spent very enjoyable holidays with family and friends, instead of farming for this 24/7 haha.

Congrats on getting this!

D: I'd rather have a common skin weapon I like than a really really rare one that I don't like as much as the common one. Same goes for minis. Too bad I don't like the pig. >-<

upier · Jan 02, 2008, 09:12 PM // 21:12

Ahhh okily.
So it's just one of those super cute things that make the game interesting but I'll never have.
Dashing off to do better things then play GW then.

onerabbit · Jan 02, 2008, 09:12 PM // 21:12

br0thergr1m · Jan 02, 2008, 09:14 PM // 21:14

is this the quest you get from the rift warden?

sickle of carnage · Jan 02, 2008, 09:15 PM // 21:15

I should be changed to Wild Polar Bear Hunter IMO. Been at it forever <\3. Hey Gray, think you can get them to drop one for me? Pwetty pweeze?

Neo Nugget · Jan 02, 2008, 09:15 PM // 21:15

Wow, looks like it is as rare as mini Ghostly and Mallyx

more rare I'd think since there's a limited pool.

I love QQers on this thread, gives me great inspiration for a movie.

Cronenberg was right.

Neo Nugget · Jan 02, 2008, 09:28 PM // 21:28
