By actually helping out in the end (and half-assing it at that), it was pretty easy for me to get consistent 5 minute runs from start to chest spawn.

lol, exactly what I thought. Sometimes when taking screenshots the comp slows slightly, I guess I'd only ss after taking it. Ohh I can dream...

Up to now 23 runs and only "white goo" from the chest. Anyone may confirm this mini ever drops this year??

Polar Bear 500e unded? IF YOU GET ONE DROPPED WISP ME PLEASE VIA HERE, I WILL BUY IT!!!!!!!! !!! !

Windf0rce · Dec 20, 2009, 03:37 PM // 15:37

500e is really low.

Now, what I am afraid of is that there is a kind of drop condition besides to its rarity. For example, drop chance is only enabled if a certain other Wintersday quest is completed, or a certain day, I don't know.

Really guys if your hopes are any higher than 0.0035% your hopes are way too high...

lorenna · Dec 20, 2009, 04:22 PM // 16:22

They wouldn't do those things anymore than they're already built into the drop system. In theory it's just a pure drop rate issue. But the thing to remember is your chances don't stack. You can do a thousand runs and get nothing, because all you're getting is the same super low chance each time. It's like buying a thousand lottery tickets. It's not worth it. Buying 50,000 might work, or it still might not. But as a general rule of thumb in life when someone wants you to grind away at bad chances, they're making a patsy out of you.

I've heard you get higher rates with a higher lucky title...can someone confirm ?
Since I have only r1 unlucky .-. I should just give up now lol

No, bad rumors are bad.

Imo its a waste of time farming for MPB... also a waste of money for it too.

Seriously a small polar bear isn't worth 500-1000e when you will get tired of it a few weeks later...

It would be hilarious if they made it like a 2-5% chance so power traders are screwed as prices would go down a ton.

Voltaic Ectoplasm · Dec 20, 2009, 05:05 PM // 17:05

its luck.. some lucky person could get 2 in 2 runs

mmmkay i am bad · Dec 20, 2009, 05:13 PM // 17:13

might as well run to the end, afk, and do homework lol

Tramp · Dec 20, 2009, 05:14 PM // 17:14

I did 700+ runs last year and got none. My goal was to do 1000+ this year. So far I have done 5 runs and I am bored already. I have decided spending 500e is the option I am taking instead.

Well the drop rate is 1 in 2857 runs, so you have a decent chance if you do 1000+. GL all

Darksim · Dec 20, 2009, 07:44 PM // 19:44

... 500e?? that's all? I thought it was more around 1000e?

Mustache Mayhem · Dec 20, 2009, 07:49 PM // 19:49

yeah I dunno I don't count the runs.. but I did enough to sell quite a few stacks last year- I was like comeon throw diddy a bone lol it's pretty rare, and do you notice it has never dropped for a vet.. it's always the level 8 ranger.. maybe something to that- you know the drop rate how you seem to get alot of golds after a layoff

Some ppl dont know that, but go ahead and tell everyone so that we can get less and less for our polar bears since alot more ppl can farm them now.

Gli · Dec 20, 2009, 08:41 PM // 20:41

Driving the price down seems like a pretty good idea to me. The damn thing's never gonna drop for me anyway.

snoozer80 · Dec 20, 2009, 08:43 PM // 20:43

I've heard if you run this quest moving backwards, and if you keep your one eye closed during the quest the chance to get MPB is equal not 0,035% but 0,042% !! Amazing! ISn't!
