Thought it might be intresting to document everyones experience of trying to get an MPB this year, so feel free to post your attempts to drop ratios, if you get one naturally

Good Luck!

Pol

Edit; A screenshot would be nice if you could add one if you pick up an MPB ladies and gentleman.

First of all, just simply posting if you got one is promoting lieing. In order to have proof, you must have a screenshot of it on the ground and your user name is showing. That way someone can't just copy/paste an image of last year and erase the user name and say its theirs.

Anyways good thread. Good luck everyone!

It's 'lying'.

Tried farming the bear last year, nothing. Drop rate is a tad too low to try again this year for me. Good luck all.

I suspect that the drop is likely to be a mini Jingle Moa.. even though I would still be more than happy with a Jingle Bear :-)

Running through the dungeon and waiting for the snowmen to do the killing hardly requires brain power.

I'm doing it so I can watch movies and junk while still collecting sweets/alcohol/party points, not really for the MPB. If it comes, it comes. If it doesn't, who cares.

Currently on run 4.

Same here. I'm just gonna hope for it, but not expect it while farming other stuff without any effort.

Might attempt it a couple of times... not gonna farm it like i did last year.. tho, with some people hinting a mini jingle moa that would be cool (altho it probably wont be as valuable as the Polar Bear) as theres already a mini moa chick thing out there already

Don't kid yourself...it'll be more than the polar bear because it's NEW. the colors and the name are what matter to people.

Same here. Doing a few runs without great expectations, there isn't much other content I like to farm anyway.

10+ Runs atm, no MPB.

Gonna farm the crap out of it, more to try and finish consumable titles this event than for the mini. I figure if I'm going to grind it out, I might as well do it when there's a chance of something extraordinary.

Once more, gonna try to grind the quest for MPB but I also don't have great expectations ^^.
30+ runs so far, 3 accounts at the same time, still nothing.

Exactly. People farming it non-stop expecting to become instant millionaires are stupid. Don't have such high expectations. Just be glad you can get good headway into sweet/booze/party animal.

I, on the other hand, still prefer to spend my time doing my other favorite wintersday event. Snowball arena. The gamer points are plump and juicy and for the taking for the first few days while most newbies still don't know what to do. Less then 800 points away from r4. And the faction and z-keys are a nice plus.

Just did 50+ runs with 2 accounts in about 1 hour... 241 shards and a lot of candy canes... No MPB.

I'm not doing it for the MPB but for the shards.

50+ runs and only 241 shards? You must be very unlucky O_o

I just finished my 31st run and I got almost 2 stacks now...

I do it for the shards, sweets and party points... and the bear. Not because it's "instant millionaire", but because I love how cute it is ^_^

That's an acceptable approach. I may do it for a little while.

This is a flat out lie; and a bad one to.

Lets do some simple math:

5 minutes/ run at best ..and thats with cons. so thats 12 runs/ hour x 2 pc's= 24 runs at best.

You sir are a lyer.
