Can you change the screenshot, i can't see it.....

texeasons · Dec 21, 2009, 05:22 AM // 05:22

changed, sorry, I'm not very experienced at adding pics here.

Bathal Nasp · Dec 21, 2009, 05:32 AM // 05:32

Still can't see, but if it's the same person that was selling for 550e for the past 8 hours or so I'm gonna call shenanigans. Too many people are taking advantage of the confusion, trying to tank prices in an attempt to come out of this with a very, very, very cheap MPB.

So I was doing this for a while a few hours ago, then logged off for a while. Just logged back on to start this up again, and I had to download files for the Secret Lair.

I would lol if that meant that it wasn't even in the chest until lately.

Bathal Nasp · Dec 21, 2009, 07:19 AM // 07:19

I would lol even more if that meant they were only in the chest until recently.

This is one of those times I wish ANet would just confirm that they are or are not present, so we can find out sooner rather than later if we're wasting our time with this or not.

That asshole's been standing in AD8 "selling" the bear for 550e for the past 2 days. Buying it is the tricky part. Try it.

Monk is what I did yesterday and works well (healing and knockdown), that or Warrior for speed. You don't really need damage unless you want to do the fight at the end rather than afk by the door.
Doing Mesmer this year for survivor and found the interrupt handy for hitting the icicle snare the Icy Grenths use.

Axeman002 · Dec 21, 2009, 12:08 PM // 12:08

yeah i use monk and just run straight thru....and sil..change ure guild tag on here lol

Tehando · Dec 21, 2009, 12:15 PM // 12:15

funny like all the guys who has a polar bear want to keep price high lol

i bought ded Polar Bear for 600e and yes it drops out of the chest.. dont have a screen

Turbo Ginsu · Dec 21, 2009, 12:55 PM // 12:55

I found ele the best, for the little bit of fighting, icicle is a great pain-giver..though the para shout is also great for getting quick shots in..Either of those 2.

Any profession can just use Hidden rock at the start. Works just as well (if you need it).

If you're going to fight, Ranger is good - Flurry does AoE damage, and even 1-on-1 you get an advantage due to 0.75sec cast, instead of 1sec cast on snowball for the same damage.

I only have two accounts, so the fight on one account usually isn't over by the time I've run the other account to the door. So I'll usually wade into the fight at the end. The enemies are bunched by that time... wait til a snowman rezzes to distract them, run in, Ice Fort, and Flurry will massacre them.

Three accounts or more, and you'll just be running... and picking up. Doesn't really matter what profession you use.

Lodar Aric · Dec 21, 2009, 02:39 PM // 14:39

Done about 20 runs and that's me done for this year. Pretty boring and a waste of time imo but fair play to those that have the patience and time to do hundreds of runs, i hope you are successful.

Lets do some simple math:

5 minutes/ run at best ..and thats with cons. so thats 12 runs/ hour x 2 pc's= 24 runs at best.

You sir are a lyer.

Also 50 x 5= 250 minimum for those runs with no drops at all, doesn't add up.

deejaysteve · Dec 21, 2009, 03:38 PM // 15:38

Finally got one! About 300 runs last year, 53th run this year. (know from snowman summoners)
I'm not good in posting pictures,but give it a try:

I haven't done this quest since last year but I thought the chest only spits out 4 items when opened.

Windf0rce · Dec 21, 2009, 03:48 PM // 15:48

deejay: congrats.

vader: it's 4 fixed item drops + 1 random item that can be the Mini.

Polgara Val · Dec 21, 2009, 03:55 PM // 15:55

Congrats deejaysteve, at least we know they drop now

Pol

DRGN · Dec 21, 2009, 04:01 PM // 16:01

No, it gives 5. Congrats on the mini polar bear! At least that gives me a reason to keep going; I was really wondering if they dropped this year.

Course, that screenshot could have been made last year and photoshop the candy into the status area ;-D ;-D

Minami · Dec 21, 2009, 04:19 PM // 16:19

53rd run?

I wonder if it's going to be like last year again... Namely, if you don't get a drop by your 100th run, then don't even bother.
