People referred to the IDS & Treasure as the annual "Christmas Present" in GW. A kind of easter egg for the players to make things interesting. Has anyone seen any clues in-game or out as to what that might be this(07-08) year?

The other 2 were permanent updates, so I'm thinking the Polar Bears aren't it. (Gaile Pointed out the Mini Bears were a limited time thing)

I think it was the Zaishen Chest. That came out around Wintersday time.

Prolly a mixture of the Mini Polar Bear and Zaishen Chest.

This chest is one of the greatest additions.

Maybe the rich pve's buying these keys at 3k each (haha) and going to get a creme of brulee (spelling) would think the chest sucks.

I reached UAX just a few days before the Zaishen Chest was added. It was surprisingly perfect timing. However, I have yet to get anything worth much out of the Zaishen Chest, darn Crème Brûlée and Firewater.

Good idea Gaile say it was limited when the first one poped up on the last day of the event. lol

Anets statement on the bear you had your 1 day shot to farm the same quest 10000 times in a row and thats all your gonna get it is not our fault that we forgot to hit the button that turns on the drop for it. I love some of the stuff that Anet says so I spin it off to make them sound a little less incompetent.
