200runs SoS approx & no bear atm
NoXiFy
3 runs... 1 bear.
Someone must like me :O
If it has anything to do with it... i did it with my warrior after capping the pet. 99.9 to the 1,000,000th power says that has nothing to do with it (and i entered as a w/r). I'll be selling the pet most likely.

100+ runs and still no bear. But hope isn't lost.
You see, I have a theory; reverse psychology. I usually have a chat with the wintersday chest right after it spawns. The conversations usually go along the lines of, "Hello chest. I know I say this every time, but can I have a bear?"
I can only assume the chest responds promptly with a "No."
But this time is different! This time I will act like I don't want the bear! It's genius! He'll have no other option than to just give me the bear.
I also have another plan. Animal sacrifices! I'll just sacrifice a miniature polar bear at the foot of the chest and hopefully this will please the Gods. I'll let you all know of my findings.

The only other thing that peeved me about the event is why does the frozen ecto dude still only give the Bob Newhart pots out? Why didn't they add the new two? That would have made me a happy panda...
I pwnd U
I'm at around 200 runs now or so, between 150-200 runs I believe. No bear yet...
I was sucked in by the CCS... Trading them in for presents was so much win.

Over 200 runs still no polar bear, I use 2 accounts, by the end of the event I'll have done over 1000 (I aim to do 50 - 100 per day) If I don't get one, Idc I'll have made probably 1mil in consumables by then, I've already made 500k.

So I tried for 24 hours straight, but I was a retard and didn't know I could change districts to get the quest back so for the first 24 hours I was doing that damn Straight to the Heart quest every other time!
Since then I have started keeping track of runs by the number of Snowman Summoners I have in my inventory. So far 24 hours +67 runs = No MBP love for me.
I know that there is a Polar Bear in the chest every time, she just doesn't come out because I can't get the mating ritual right since I'm a girl and all. If only there was a way to take that guy that is doing the whole show your claws and grunt and stuff. I am sure I would get it then.
Here is to hoping! Congrats to all that have gotten them so far.

Try wearing your Lupine Mask and using the /scare emote, at least if you have a Male Warrior. Fur, Fangs, "Claws".
GL to everyone trying, if I get one, it will probably go in my wife's minipet collection.

Seeing this thread i Devoted this last 3 days. And 4 of my cousins. on my Five accounts to a test. Between the five accounts I account for 7243 Runs.
I now currently on one accounts have 14 mpb.
Do the math
7243/14= one mpb ever 517 runs or so. This doesnt take into consideration of the accounts...
Of the five accounts just named as Accounts 1-5
Account 1 3 mpb
Account 2 2 mpb
Account 3 1 mpb
Account 4 <b>5 mpb</b>
Account 5 3 mpb
All in all, all i have concluded is. Its alot of work to get one. But keep trying. you will get one.

But with five accounts over 3 days, that's ~2400 runs a day, or ~1450 runs per account with ~480 runs per day. That sounds unreal.

Unfortunately, without a screenie of 14 MPB's, there is no way this claim can be substantiated and considered to be true.
We would all like to include your data in the findings. Can you upload a screenie, or even a really short video of you mousing over each bear? I dont think a possibly fake screenie is gonna satisfy alot of people here...not to mention...i've seen some really really good fakes!
The numbers seem undoable unless a person could run 5 accounts at one time, reliably, with almost no chance of failure and ppl just aren't built perfect.
How did you track your run count. Could that be off?
Even your 14 bears seems impossible cause that would mean that you had 5 EXTREMELY lucky people farming ,making the drop rate around 1:500, which we can certainly say by now is not accurrate, and provably not even close to.
It certainly seems you simply tried to fake numbers and make it sound doable but it doesn't check out.
If you want, meet me in an outpost and just show me in trade you have at least what can fit in a trade window and I'll vouch for you in forums, at least to the number of bears.
Please post your evidence. We would all like to congratulate you and thank your for your verifiable data if it is true of course.

I hate to discredit anybody, but even with using cupcakes and each of the 5 people ran 2 accounts simultaneously, you are looking at 5 min/chest. This is running to the end (2 min.) assisting in the battle (minimum 2-3 min.) go to town, rezone, take the quest and repeat. Now with 2 accounts, one sits there while the other runs. Once the 2nd gets to the end, you go to the first one and assist in battling, this just added 2 minutes to its run. Making it atleast 7 minutes, plus a minute or 2 for accepting the reward and rezoning and retaking the quest. Now you have to run to the end again, all the while account 2 is just sitting there. Now account 2 may be done battling. This still does not give you the 3 minute/chest turn around that you need. So how in the world did you manage all those runs with that short amount of time. I'm with the others, I need pics for proof. Sorry.

I can get 8 accounts run to the end at the 9 minute mark, running in pairs. When the last 4 are done, the first 4 are just finishing up. I grab my shards on all the instances really quick, get chest, start running to reaper, abandon the quests, take the quest, go in, repeat, then go back to the 2nd set of 4 accounts.
When i manage the instances 4 at a times, i split the run into 3 sections. I take all 4 to point#1, stop 2 of them while the other 2 keep on going to point#2 where they recharge health a bit. Then I go to pair#2, repeat, and go back and forth till all 4 are at the end. I do overlay the pairs a bit too once they are definitely gonna make it the next point without concern.
That's my method. I use no cons or anything like that. My characters are all sins except 1 rit and 1 ele. Since only half of my accounts have NF, i didn't start monks to make this easier for myself. Also, I use LA for starting the quest cause Kamadan is way less convenient.
If anyone else would like to share their strategy, please do
I would love to steal, oops...hear some suggestions that might make my runs faster still.Current Run Count: 791
Got a bear on #337.none since
Hyaon
Im on the 600 mark or so...no bear *eyes bleed*
Minami
I am not sure how many runs I have done exactly, but if I divide all my cc shards I got by running this quest by 9 (which is about the average amount of shards I get per run), I get 267 runs so far.
Strength of Snow quest, single account.
I have not gotten a mini polar bear yet.
I am still somewhat hopeful I'll get one of them cute critters. For the time being, I'll keep going on for a bit longer.

Khazad Guard
As pointed out, 3 minute runs for 14 Polars Bears...*sigh*
I usually run two accounts (sometimes three). One of my accounts is Proph+EotN, the other two are Proph+Factions+NF+EotN. My main account is my Ele who uses Cupcakes to run through the dungeon (Sweet tooth points that I'd rather use than just spam consume) which can get to the end in 1-2mins (stupid /age fails).
I run her from Kamadan. Take the quest, enter dungeon, cupcake and run, afk (turn attention to other account) and come back to finish off the last 4 Grentchs or so. I collect all the CCS that are around, open the chest, collect the drops and map travel back to Kamadan. By map travelling back I don't get that horrid dock area spawn. Take reward, rezone and do the quest over. I take the reward for the shards (and to level the mule accounts' chars and heroes). Doesn't really bother me about the extra time needed to take the reward and respawn.
Still no bear though, but so many shards stacks in the Xunlai!

241 runs (leveled 2 my pve chars from lvl 3 to 10 (since you are in Kamadan at lvl 3)) and couple of runs on my monk or ele
No bear
Incarnatum
I got one a few hours ago.
Runs, honestly, not 100% sure. If it helps, around 1800 CC Shards in my inventory, all from that farm. Around 8-15CC Shards per run.
I just fought to the end ([email protected] of Snow), then afk'd the other 9 minutes or so. I watched Southpark, Kitchen Nightmares etc.
Sold Undedicated.
Hooray
Oh, and I can post SS if you guys want
**Edit: Nvm, I'll post it.

10 stacks of cc shards only from this quest and no bear.
I told the chest it was my rl bday on the 21st so I'd be happy for a present, but it didn't care, lol.

*puts on foil hat* 14 mpb?...another story ploy to reduce their prices maybe?..find it hard to believe too
Yamagawa
While it may be early to put a lower bound on the drop rate (That would have to wait for multiple CONFIRMED instances of multiple bear drops for a single player) I would think it's safe to say that the drop rate is under 1%, and probably not over 0.2%, or we'd be seeing more reports of multiple mini drops.
As for how many runs I've done so far... I have 249 Snowman summoners, so 249 runs, and 0 minis. You get one summoner per run. Never more, never less.

You always get 1 fruitcake, 1 snowman summoner, 1 wintergreen candy cane & 1 spiked eggnog, then there's 1 random drop which can be any of the previous or peppermint cc, rainbow cc, eggnog, yuletide tonic or a MBP.
For me ~200 runs, no MBP. But I suspect all the times I died accidently or died because of spike lags or disconnected, those times I would have gotten a MBP
