Few questions about lucky & unlucky (r2) - Guild Wars Forums

Niila · Jun 29, 2008, 11:02 PM // 23:02

As the dragon festival approaches, I'm planning to get these titles to rank two for corresponding hall of monuments statues. Currently I need about 95000 points to r2 lucky and 9500 points to r2 unlucky. My questions are following:

1. How many tickets should I approximately buy to reach them? (for example if I let my characted idle in the rings overnight)

2. Is it possible to achieve r2 on this event or does it take so much time that I have to wait for next boardwalk event too?

3. How much money does this cost for me?

4. Where should I stand in the rings to reach this title the cheapest way possible? (money-wise)

Thanks in advance!

Erm, from my experience you'd have to...

1. Buy about 12k?(pretty sure around there) tickets.

2. It's easily obtainable in one event.

3. 12,000x15g/ticket = 180,000g or 180 plat

4. All rings have the same payout, the corner rings however, boost you unlucky title more then the other rings. This is because you're losing more, but when you do win, you win more then the others, so it all balances out.

1-3. ^Look above^

4. money-wise would mean not really wanting Unlucky, so center, however, I prefer the sides *not corners* because it helps with both but gives you more chances of winning so you won't lose as much money. The place you stand is all personal preference though.

The numbers you've been given seem alright.

Here's the wiki guide on those titles: http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Luck_titles_guide

Deleted. Read the other wiki post and it's more clearly put out there.

The corners are the best in the long term.. however, due to the fact that you may go several rounds before you win and make up your losses, you are more likely to go through wild swings. As long as you buy more then... say 4 stacks.... the corner is the way to go.
