got 4 dragons in under 500 fortunes a first for me and i usually need to open more then 2000 to do it

Wenspire · Feb 03, 2012, 03:26 AM // 03:26

Got my one (and only) mini from doing one set quests on first character. I'm quite happy; didn't want to do more than necessary.

StormDragonZ · Feb 03, 2012, 03:35 AM // 03:35

I am probably going to get attacked by this, but I did the quests with six characters to get 236 total Fortunes.

I got a total of 4 Celestial Dragons. I'm definitely keeping one for myself, one for my girlfriend because she opened 188 of them and didn't get one, but I'm curious how fast the price of them are going down... or are they going up?

I'm extremely surprised how many dropped for me too. I haven't gained a single Celestial Mini except the Pig so long ago.

In my first 33 Fortunes, Two Celestial Dragons came out, wish I had screen capped it, but they're in my inventory, this seems like a good year!

around the start i heard people were selling at 20e each. but a couple hours ago i heard people buying them at 10-15e each dunno if thats still the same price

If one really wants to make a killing off the minis they have to sell them fast. Towards the end of the event they have almost always dropped to 35-50k

Da Kenster · Feb 03, 2012, 06:09 AM // 06:09

Opened several fortunes on my main, got jack diddly.

Ran my ritualist through the quests in shing jea island, got two dragons from those.

I think I will start having my alts open up more of my gifts and stuff...

Yes - I've got multiple characters on multiple accounts in this situation. Some characters that definitely did the quests last year can get them and some can't.

I've raised a bug report.

Sell them ASAP.

Long story short, there are two approaches - farm during the first day and sell them already in a few hours after the event start, or farm them all the time and keep them for a few months, maybe even more than 'few', and sell them then.
The second option is not viable anymore, with GW2 around the corner.
I remember Cele Tigers and Bunnies spiking down to 20-30k at the end of the previous events, and keeping that price for nearly a month.

Anyone else get shafted? 8 characters 1185 lunar tokens = 395 lunar fortunes no dragons.

Ishmel · Feb 03, 2012, 10:15 AM // 10:15

This was my first Canthan New Year.

I opened the lunar fortunes one token stack at a time (249 tokens, 83 fortunes) having accumulated three stacks of tokens. No mini from the first two sets of 83 fortunes but i got two from the third set.

I still have the Elonian quests to do but i think i'll trade those for lunar bags instead since i still haven't maxed the drunkard and sweet titles.

I have to say, i was a bit worried about not getting a mini after the first 166 fortunes.

I left my character on the nine rings over night, but when i checked in on it this morning the James Bond error had struck again *shakes fist*. I'm hoping my character will be able to stay online until i get back home tonight.

That's some bad luck....

It's averages, it would be too easy i guess if you were told you would get a polar bear after 500 runs, a mini dragon after opening 70, etc...

To change topic a bit, i'm curious to know how hazardly the same usual players already have 482+ in rollerbeetle after a few hours... Not that i'm mad or i believe some cheated, but considering you need at least echo+ super, a perfect connection, a perfect start, no funny kds from opponent, it's quite hard to believe some people already got 3-4 accounts in top50...

CharrGirl · Feb 03, 2012, 01:49 PM // 13:49

Anybody know a good place to farm lunar tokens? Tried vaetirs but they are so damn slow now because of recent HM changes.

Its possible with a default start and connection. I was even playing with my Mobile Phone as WLAN Hotspot last night

Long story short: game spam. If you defend yourself reasonably well at the start and throw enough matches at the problem, some of them are going to stick.

It's always a little bit easier to start cleanly on the first day, as people tend to eat the first Ram that comes along until they learn/remember how to use Shell.

artemis-fowl · Feb 03, 2012, 04:54 PM // 16:54

you just need to have echo>srb>echo>srb>srb>srb>srb and then you have 482 EASLY

Cuilan · Feb 03, 2012, 04:55 PM // 16:55

Does the mini make the really annoying noises that the Kuunavang makes?

Still.. If i count the number of runs i did( quite a lot), i only got echo + super in the first boxes once( actually i didn't get it more on other boxes) and you kinda need it for top20 scores... Add to it people who tend to use skills on you sometimes, few lag issues , etc...
I can understand people might be lucky and i'm not, but i find it kinda strange that it's again the same players on the ladder so fast( just noticed someone has 3 new accounts in top20 which weren't 2 hours ago...)

Anyway, we will see that on monday when it will be the same guys with 6 accounts and when #100 will be 481.900 as usual i guess

If you can go really fast, then you can start doing otherwise stupid things like chasing extra boxes, playing defensively at the start and being very, very careful in the spiral to improve your chances.

You are also probably underestimating the number of runs that are being thrown at the problem.
