LOL I am letting Freezie and the others kill the grentches while I sit and read this thread. Takes about 15 minutes that way. I have not seen this active of a thread since the black moa mini.

[/QUOTE] "The winner of the annual Wintersday battle between Grenth and Dwayna has been announced: Grenth, God of Death and Ice, was declared overall victor of the nine individual face-offs that took place on Wintersday. This means that winter will linger for just a while longer in Tyria and Elona.

Through Noon PST (20:00 GMT) on Thursday, January 11, 2007, players can continue to compete in the Snowball Arena, farm the hell out of the holiday quests trying to get a polar bear, and dodge Grentchies in Kamadan and Lion's Arch.

The extension of the Wintersday Festival will afford players everywhere the opportunity to join the event, for many of them had extreme lag and disconnects.

Enjoy the Winterday Festivities for a few days longer, and we wish you all the best in the New Year!"[/QUOTE]


January 11th is a Sunday... not a Thursday and 2007 is kinda a year behind

Congrats to all who get one I am happy for you.
BUT
They should add this to the normal Chest but make the odds at getting the drop really bad.
Sorry if it's been mentioned before too many pages to read. lol

In my opinion (might be slightly biased by a 4h farm that - according to Gaile - I could be doing for the past 12 days instead of being bored, tho it still might not do as evidently the bear dropped really poorly), this is one GW epic fail. I hate the bear by now...

...and she's so cute with the ribbons and nells >.>

In regards to "congrats to all who got one", so far it's only been Witchblade. That's really why this thread is so popular : o

That would just be... mean.

Plus it's called a mini Polar Bear, not mini Ursula. Hmm, is she ever referred to as a polar bear there?

EDIT: 27 pages and I've still yet to give congrats.

Congrats! (I'm also glaring at you a lil bit.)

10) PROFIT!!!
That is the best idea I've heard. It would make so many people cry, and if it's the ONLY one in the game, gg no Polar Bear for 12 months.

It says on the official wiki that it uses the same model as Ursula, so calling it a mini Ursula seems appropriate.

Yeah, but a lot of things use the same model. They just change the colors.

Yah, but unlike the other bear models, this one has the bells and ribbons.

At any rate, I'm satisfied with calling it "polar bear". *shrug*

By the way, grats Witchblade. ;o

well... it is possible to run to the end in about 2 minutes... the snowman should be able to dispatch the grentchies in about another 8, so 28 mins is waaay to much for one run, even if u r afking at the end...

Usually 10-15 minutes, but each runs different. Sometimes the grentches will just overwhelm the Snowmen spawns. Just aggro the grentches, run to the opposite end and use snowcone to heal. Should give snowmen enough time to respawn fully

Fastest run I have had is around 11 minutes.
No Icy Grentches on the run there. Then just AFK'd at the door.

Got a 9 minute run :/.

Ice Breaker on groups where I know they will follow me into tight situations.
Then just Snowcone just incase.
2 minutes to the mob, but I don't really help.

if you fight you can get it done in under 7 mins. I did /age at the end of a run that went smoothly and it said 6 mins.

This happened to me twice. game completely crashed at the end and got the window pop up on my screen to send an error report. I figured it's time to call it a night.

~7 hrs = nothing except for shards, I have school tomorrow so I think i'll quit, health is better than game data.

Don't tell me there's only one in the game

My Rit can do the run in 8 minutes. I bypass all fighting groups. I stop and kill the singles. I drop the binding ritual just before combat. 3 minutes to run to the bottom, 5 minutes to kill the mobs, pickup everything, open chest, pickup more, exit to LA, drop quest, rinse and repeat. I've done 15 runs, no mini yet!
