I could have missed the specific part, I haven't slept in almost 40 hours (GW is like crack for new players).

Yes that's about it you buy as many tickets as you think you will need then stand on a ring Center and corner rings seem popular and then go do something else for a while.

Of course when you win you gain tickets so it can take quite a while before you run out, players often go to bed and leave it running.

It is now 2012 so these dates are not accurate. The exact date has not been announced yet, but the best guess is that it starts February 2nd, 2012, with all the time information being the same as above.

Every year it has started at Noon PST, but was unsure if it was tomorrow or the week after.

The only thing im wondering about is how the celestial dragon will affect price of kuuna minis... Will they use the same skin for the dragon as kuuna just one that looks celestial like?
If so I think Kuuna's might go down in price? It will be cool to see celestial dragon minipets though

There was a rumor floating around that the celestial dragon will require 5x kuunavangs exchange (like pig and cele pig) which would ofcourse skyrocket kuuna prices

Just sayin...

While I realize this isn't the place to discuss strategy, and the Nine Rings wiki pages talk at length about the pros and cons of Center Ring vs. Corner, I just wanted to share a little anecdote from my noob days.

When I first started, I too had little money and decided to occupy the Center Ring for a few events. I later migrated to the side rings. And now that I'm in the final ranks of Lucky/Unlucky, I stand in the corner, but the damage is done: I have a ridiculous amount more Lucky than Unlucky.

Whereas a friend of mine, who has never quite got a handle on making tons of money in this game, took what she had and sat on a Corner over one or two events and got rank 2 in both pretty evenly.

I wish I'd had the sense to do that.

the minipet will most likely look like its celestial summoning stone counter part: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Celes...ummoning_Stone

you can look at those to see what the rest of the minis will probaly look like (IF they continue to do this feature).

I think for a new, HoM focused, player that's not standing a chance of maxing the titles before GW2 is released it's more beneficial standing on a corner to getting closer to get both titles to r2, assuming you can afford it.

If you're a new player but already have r2 in both titles, but don't have a big pile of cash to grind both titles through lockpicking chests (ie. you'll have a hard time maxing the titles before GW2 is released), IMHO, it's more beneficial standing on the center ring. You'll lose less money and at the same time getting about the same amount of luck points (according to the wiki).

Personally, being a new player with not much more than r2 in both titles and not that much gold (due to my lockpick addiction), i'll focus on as much luck as possible for as little gold as possible and spending the cash i "saved" on lockpicks instead.
