Congratz Necro! Those little things are always a rarity, well thats one confirmed drop for Wintersday 2010 at least.

Ascended Furling · Dec 19, 2010, 11:21 AM // 11:21

Im running 2 accounts for 3 years + one winters day redux and no bear jet. did +900 runs 2009 winters day and +700 redux 2009.

Don't think i get one this year. already trying to buy one but that seems just as hard. I even got laugh at my high ded price offer but who cares i want one this year.

Gz for the ones that are lucky.

Polar Bear farming is a bit different since you can go afk at the end of the map and the NPCs do the work for you.

I spend that time putting washing in the machine, watching youtube, reading forums, binge-eating, hanging up wet washing and other busy stuff. That's contrasts greatly with the likes of raptor or vaettir farming which is much more intensive.

How are you guys doing this with 2 accounts?

Acehole2006 · Dec 19, 2010, 03:49 PM // 15:49

me personanlly. pc and laptop

novawhiz · Dec 19, 2010, 03:54 PM // 15:54

no i mean like literally. How can you run both chars to the end and control both to kill grentchies? Or do you just run to end, afk, run other acct to end, afk?

Either they are using GWx2 which is a program that allows you to run two copies of Guild Wars at a time or they have (like I do) 2 (or more) computers set up side by side with a KVM switch attached.

No I don't set up 2 systems just for GW. I have to have them for my business. It is just a bonus that I can run 2 GW accounts during Wintersday.

Haven't done one single polar bear run this year so far. May not either. While I have amassed quite the collection of mini pets I am just over it as far as the mini bear goes. Over the last several years I am betting I have done in excess of 2000 runs. One character is level 20 and far along into her Survivor Title and she was ONLY used on these runs.

Yes, Run to the end killing along the way and once at the end go afk and run the second account. Then rinse and repeat. One account usually finishes the end just in time to afk the other.

>_> .................. i know how you run 2 accounts at once using a program or using 2 computers im asking in relation to the Polar Bear quest how are you managing the 2 accounts

Ascended Furling · Dec 19, 2010, 04:10 PM // 16:10

Im using 1 pc and 2 laptops atm 1 for trying to buy the bear en 2 to farm.

GWx2 is to scary to use i think.

Now at 154 runs. No bear yet.

The screenshots of the two people that claimed they got a bear this year shows them only picking up the polar bear, but does not show that it dropped. Lets all see the screenshots of them being dropped from the chest.

why?
chest drops don't get listed in chat like mob drops, so what you think they tossed a MPB on the ground and picked it up?

the screens posted are just fine

Yes that is exactly what I think, but that is my opinion. It is not 100% proven unless it says it dropped from chest. Not doing a flame here, I wont post any further, so have a happy holiday

you actually think two ppl that are clearly happy about their drop are faking it?
you think someone dropped a bear, then farmed all the grentchies with the possibility of failing to pick it up later? >.<

When something drops from a chest there is nothing noted in chat about it.
Also if someone dropped something on the ground to pick up with the chest drops there would be more then 5 items listed in chat that were picked up or there would still be event items on the ground, 15 second timer from opening the chest to mapping you out is hardly enough time for anyone to fake something more then this poor attempt below.

Why do people want to fake drop the MPB?

At least i know from my friend that is real now he got the drop.
