It will be my first Wintersday, as Halloween was my first GW holiday, so I'll probably wander around and sample the various events.

Depends on whether I finish Drunkard by then, if I do, then buying/farming Party items, if not then buying/farming Party items and alcohol.

I want to try to maximize my "party animal" style rewards and minimize my "drunkard" and "sweet tooth" style rewards. (i can buy cake and wine at merchants)

But I don't know, really, how to do that.

Snowball and the elusive Mini Polar Bear hunt.

I need to get both "Numchuk Skillz" and zkeys for R3 Zaishen.

Probably have one account running Strength of Snow and doing Snowball Dominance on the other. Or even two in SoS and the one that needs Vanguard points in SD.

One way or another, I have no need for cash or title points (working on an alt for some titles, but it's not pressing), so I'll keep what I farm and sell off the stuff with the remainder of my Halloween stuff when prices finally balance out.

Then use the money on nothing, as either GW2 will be coming soon or I'll be busy with my new wife.

1 -Do The Strength of Snow quest until you puke,this will give you roughly the same amount of all of the drops.
2-Give all sweets and booze to Stig.
3-Get mini polar bear from reward chest and give to Kanwulf.
4-You have 100% party animal points.

Sorry, your transmission faded out around the part about the polar bear... Didn't quite copy all that... you say you want to give me a polar bear mini?

I'll just be doing what I can with the time I have. Doing as many festival quests as I can find on as many chars as I can, collecting presents etc. Maybe a bit of snowball action on the side, it would be nice to get r3 Gamer for the HoM.

Oh and I'll take my chars through the normal wintersday quests because they are fast and fun

I'd recommend snowball dominance for anyone looking to max ebon vanguard title easily while accumulating a good amount of loot. (I'd do it, but all my chars have already finished vanguard :P)
say I farmed non-stop for four hours, which quest would be more profitable, Strength of Snow or Snowball Dominance? I have Vanquard already maxed as well so I don't need the rep reward from SD, but SD gives 500 gold every 1:30-2:00 minutes which quickly adds up.

I'll probably do strength of snow a couple times here and there, dream about having the patience to grind and never achieve the goal of the MPB, and move characters through quest lines for whatever reason...just like I'm doing now.

Trade in my thousands of Decayed Orr Emblems for fruitcake and thus the sweet title.

Buy the remaining Zkeys I need when they go back down to 5k for a while.

Then I only need Kurz & Luxon titles so many many many speedclears.

Interested in finding one.

I'll do snowmen runs in hopes of getting a polar bear, but will give up after 3 or 4 runs.

After that, I plan to QQ about the 7-hero update not being implemented yet.

This'll be my first Wintersday since getting EOTN, so I'll be doing Snowball Dominance and its associated quests with my two Vanguard characters.

Other than that? Meh. Still need to sell my Thanksgiving sweets and alcohol, and generally clear out my storage.

Figure out what I've missed since coming back and then trying to get that Bear.

Snowball Arena for me. Not interested in farming, at all.
