Yeah, I'm skipping groups with my ranger (I think ranger has the best skill, aoe helps with last fight) and I still finish at 7 minutes. Faster than 5 really is a lie. That makes 12 runs per hour at best, but you still have to zone and rezone to get new quest etc. If you can do 25 runs on two accounts simultaneously in 1 hour, you are doing the impossible.
50? Dream on.
Mini Polar Bear Drops

Nothing in his post adds up...
Time, and cc shards gotten...
Even if you have really really bad luck, you have far more cc shards by the 50th run than 241. Also like the others said, it's impossible to do 50 runs in an hour. You, my friend, are exaggerating a bit.
I skip every Grentch on my way to the end battle, and if I feel like it, I help out there too. Runs average between 7-10 minutes.

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

I'll probably do this some. I still need booze for the drunkard title and my daughter needs sweets and party points for those title. This is as good a way to do it as any other, I suppose.
isildorbiafra
So far 30 runs. 2 stacks of CC shards. no MPB. I'm taking my sweet time killing everything along the way and pickingup every last shard. No cons and afking at the last fight. Averaging 13 minutes/ run. I didnt get a MPB last year; but i made alot of mony selling all the junk i got. Dont need it. Allready maxed all titles.
Barrage
It's nice to dream of a polar bear drop, but I probably won't get one, best of luck to you all.
Aussie Boy
Well I got mine last year so not farming it this year.
I am doing a survivor on it for the 1000xp per run ( deaths don't count here
) and sweet points tile
so if it happens to drop well it drops.

As for "as good a way ... as any other" not really
Farming pretty much anything will get you the items way faster than this {raptors are still king IMO} and it's not great for shards either.
snowball fight @ EoTn is more shards for a reward and you can do it maybe 5 or 6 times vs 1 on this.
This is mostly for people hoping to get the super rare mini drop no matter what they say about it.
Darksim
Is this mission repeatable or does it go away after you accept the reward?

Darksim
dang lol I wish I would have known that! I heard from someone that you should cancel the reward so you can keep doing it over and over. I missed out on quite a bit of shards.. oh well thanks for clearing that up for me

stop kidding yourself and good luck.
Operative 14
I'm farming the quest with the hope of getting an MPB, but I'm being realistic and appreciating the CC shards and the consumables. 
Jebus
Which quest is the "best" to "farm"? Aka: fastest runs? I'm guessing strength of snow?
snoozer80
Maybe MPB will start to drop after some time. I mean they wont drop until i.e. 27 december or so..?

Strength of Snow gets my vote.
I also note no one has posted that they got one this year i'm sure last year there were a couple of drops on the first day the quest was avaliable.
Hmmm

I've still yet to see a screenshot of it dropping yet, so we don't even know for sure it's out there >_>
chadS
Considering people are selling them for 500e in town, I think they are.
Aussie Boy
500e ? hmmm I haven't seen them anywhere for that but then i'm playing on Euro servers
Thats a big drop in price last year they were around 1700E
Also watch out for this scam again about ICE they do it every year.

so is there any way of easily avoiding the pop up grentches? i tried running past them but eventually i died ^^; (do sweets make a difference :3?)
i can't believe i didn't farm the MPB last year :O, will farm today i need the beer and sweets.
oh yeah guys if you use the free trial of EN can you access the srength of snow quest without doing the first EN quests?

If you strafe while running, you should be able to dodge snowballs enough to survive. Alternatively, drop an avalanche on the grentches chasing you to slow them down. No clue about the free trial thing though.
Axeman002
if i do get one...dont expect a screenie as my PC is so dump it will probably lock up for 16 seconds and i would lose my MPB...and trust me you would not want to be in the near vicinity if that happens.
Aussie Boy
Any sweets /consumables that give a speed boost do help in running.
Dodging is your best option Q E keys
I have been using all the Rock candies that Nic has given me and also Birthday cupcakes.
especially as I'm going for Sweet title at the same time as Survivor.
Dunno about the free trial so can't answer that.

Here, let me give some tips to the beginners out there. Don't waste your time fighting. Just run to the end and wait at the big, giant door. The snowmen just respawn at the last battle so you can go afk or do what I do; run two instances of GW.
Good luck to you all, but mostly good luck to me. Seriously, I need this bear.
Minami
400 times? xD
1100 times here last year -.-
I don't think I'll go that nuts again this year, but I do need the sweets/party points, and of course the mini polar bear.
Wanted one last year so bad, and nothing. This year, I hope I get lucky and one drops for me.
Good luck everyone ^_^

I did about 200 runs last year. Using 2 accounts this year, I'm already up to 90. 
Still bearless of course.

WHat would people say is the best class for running this?
Warrior: for minimal speed increase?
Ranger: more damagge at the end?
Monk: Healing?
Para: Faster snowballs?
