As the end of the Canthan New Year is fast approaching, I got curious. What did the other people here at Guru do this weekend?

Personally, I didn't do much on Friday or Saturday, but today I went on a Canthan New Year drive. I did all of the Canthan New Year quests on each of my 5 PvE characters to earn Lunar Tokens in hopes of getting a Celestial Ox. It seems I was rather lucky, as I ended up getting 5 of them from my many Lunar Fortunes.

So what did YOU do?

(I bet that at least half of the people here will say they AFK'ed Nine Rings, but...)

Being in Australia, wished they'd held it last week, so I could get the Australia Day public holiday rather than being at work hoping my home internet didn't fail half an hour ago.

More seriously... completed all the festival quests, some with recently-tamed pets in tow, then farmed some items for the events I WAS able to be active for.

Made 200 easy k doing the fest stuff... then used that money to AFK 9 rings

**cosyfiep** · Feb 02, 2009, 02:50 AM // 02:50

I did all 5 quests on 20 characters....got enough party points to finish up my party title on my monk...and enough extra to get another almost to level 1. Monk made it to people know me and capped a new birdie in his HoM.
plan on sleeping all monday.

AFK in nine rings mostly. I did however get a few tokens and bought fortunes. I got 4 oxes, sold 3 and kept 1.

200k? Yikes. Lots of characters, or were you selling tokens?

Visiting relatives and family, and getting red envelopes.

Little Shenanigan · Feb 02, 2009, 03:14 AM // 03:14

i did all of the quests on my pve characters...and then went into districts that were being hosted by guilds (thanks

) and leeched off of them.

Daisuko · Feb 02, 2009, 03:38 AM // 03:38

Crafted ~500 bottle rockets from wood/dust I'd been saving up all year... AFK'd in ring of nine all event on one account while I /rock/paper/scissor'd through my lunar tokens on another.

[Morkai] · Feb 02, 2009, 03:48 AM // 03:48

AFK'd 9 Rings and Ring of Fortune on 4 accounts for 48 hours straight (give or take half an hour for switching districts).

Hanging Man · Feb 02, 2009, 03:54 AM // 03:54

I rollerbeetled for a couple hours , oh how I love doing that
till i got a substantial amount of tokens

did rock/paper/scissors with Lucky guy in LA
got fortunes, first one I got an Ox! i was so pumped

so after that I didn't need a reason to keep doing stuff.
AFK'd 9 rings for a while till festival came, and got a festival hat.

overall a very well spent festival, I love the new Year

faraaz · Feb 02, 2009, 03:54 AM // 03:54

Zoned into Shing Jea, bought 10 stacks of tokens, burned 3 on fortunes, 7 on gift bags.

Then I bought 27 stacks of tickets and afk'd the rest of the event :P

For "Canthan" new year, I went to a "Canthan" restaurant and ate "Canthan" food. Afterwards, we shared "Canthan" red envelopes.

Kook~NBK~ · Feb 02, 2009, 04:01 AM // 04:01

I'm still doing it! - AFKing on 9-rings (closing in on 100K points for the weekend.

) & co-hosting a district with my Alliance duirng main events.

Icy The Mage · Feb 02, 2009, 04:02 AM // 04:02

Lots and lots of DoA, made about 4 or 5 armbraces, and afked when I was sleeping.

Theus Latius · Feb 02, 2009, 04:04 AM // 04:04

Logged in on Sunday. Did all quests on my 6 PvE chars. Bought a few lunar fortunes, got an ox on my 10th fortune. Sold the rest of the fortunes and tokens making a mere 80k. Went afk for free gifts in Shing Jea. Event sorted.

probably bought a few dozen stacks of dust then sold them for 200g+ per 10 on friday night.

I did that, but I missed the 200g thing, so sold 11 stacks for 160g every 10 - went from 83k to 136k+, a good 50k profit from dust alone. Also made cash from getting an extra 3 stacks from 9rings (yes, I gained money from 9rings, not lost).

What I did:

Day 1: Quests
Day 2: Rollerbeetle Racing
Day 3: Afk 9rings for finale

Operative 14 · Feb 02, 2009, 04:13 AM // 04:13

I did all the quests on all of my 7 characters, then I spent the rest of the time (and at this very moment still am) AFKing on nine rings for my lucky title. Seems to be working rather well to - I figure I only need about 20 more holiday events with the board walk to max it.
