Tonic spam - Guild Wars Forums

Sagittario · Nov 01, 2011, 03:42 PM // 15:42

Hello,
tonics can't be spammed, we know. But that's not so true.
There are few exceptions like Magic Collapse in Asuran lab with some tonics or outpost death.
But that's all I know about. Is there another way to spamm tonics? Or just speed the clicking?

I haven't found any suggestion here nor on wiki page/talk, but I still hope I'll get a usefull advice here.

The Loose magic area is an explorable area so the only tonice you can spam there are those that can be used in explorable areas (transmogrifier and yutetide I believe).

What I did to get a good portion of my party title is to use Mysterious tonics (which give you 5 points), stand in Kamadan (which usually has a ton of districts active). If you quickly double click twice on a tonic stack as soon as you zone into a town you can fire off 2 at once for 10 points in one shot. Then just zone to another district and repeat...another 10.

Still tedious but worked for me for a good portion of the points.

Thanks, I've known about the magic loose as well as 2 tonic bug, but I used to zone GH/elsewhere/GH/.......
I'll see if differents zones in Kamadan are better.

I usually zone Guild Hall to International District Druid's Overlook or Ventnari's Refuge for double tonic use. My theory is that a small sized outpost with no other people in it would load faster than a geographically large town like Kamadan that also has a 100 others standing around. And no one will be around the hear the tonic sound effects either.

Tip 1: Use your mouse's software, or your Operating System's mouse properties, to change one of your mouse button's actions to "double click" (I use my scroll wheel). This way, each single click acts as a double click, making it easier to spam 2 tonics at once. (Conversely, you could use MouseKeys, the Windows accessibility tool that allows you to use your numpad as mouse actions.)

Tip 2: I'm in an alliance, and would just keep the Guild Tab open and pop back and forth between two ally guild halls. If you line up your inventory and the GH tab just right, you don't have to move your mouse around the screen too much.

Best suggestion is simply to quickly click two whenever you zone, while doing other things.
Trying to click/zone/click/zone will kill you if you have stacks of tonics.

In my opinion, the fastest district change for tonic spam is between guild halls in your alliance, since these outposts are small and usually no players present, so they load fast. Open the Alliance tab, position the inventory with the stack of tonic next to it, go to your guild hall and click:
2x tonic (if you're fast enough, you get 2 tonics at once)
go to 1st alliance guild hall
2x tonic
go to 2nd alliance guild hall
2x tonic
go to 1st alliance guild hall
2x tonic
etc...

Crates of fireworks can be used up this way as well.

If you're not in an alliance, then pick some empty town somewhere....

2x Tonic
'G' - go to Guild Hall
2x tonic
- leave GH
2x tonic
- go to GH
etc.

I use the door between Ascalon City and The Great Northern Wall mission. Only place that I know of bridges between two outposts by one portal. Zone, double click twice, use x to turn around and run back through
