First of all Thank you very much ArenaNet for Halloween and the new quests! No More Gates of Kryta!

I only wish I had time at the beginning of the halloween week to start doing them.

hehehehe but this is what I managed and just by enjoying the game. took 5 of my characters through the quests from both kamadan and lion's arch, couldn't make all 10 lololol which was my plan.

anyway

thank you!

I have at least 16 * 250 for going through all the NF halloween quests thanks to 6-heroes mode.

Then I only brought half of them through the Prophecies halloween quests because it was starting to feel like a grind.

Meh... I've only ever bothered to push one of my characters fully through the campaigns, so it wasn't worth it for me to go for them on any others... Really took advantage of the UW quests though, but I'm still so far off with regards to the consumable titles that it feels like I've made no notable progress... :-\

I am impressed by your grind.

i like to say thank you to anet i didnt do the quest that many times but the times i was able was nice to have something new to. im not one to items so i got s decnt bunch of items to go with the ones i got during the mad ling appearances.

Stapler Pirate · Nov 03, 2010, 05:49 AM // 05:49

I loved the new quests. They were well written, witty and have me enticed to see what will happen.
It will be a shame if they just leave it all here.

Also while some may complain about the increased rewards... I think Anet did the right thing. The titles should now be reachable for more people especially with GW2 coming so soon.

Dagoth Umbra · Nov 03, 2010, 06:06 AM // 06:06

*cry* I only had two more characters who needed to do the NF quests. I did not do the Tyria quests with many characters because they just took too long. I wish the event went on for a little while longer

your wrong (

sorry) mrmango, previous year i ground (grind) and repeating Gates of Kryta till i fall asleep and only managed 3-4 stacks

this is like snap of the fingers to me.

Tip for getting into the mausoleum

If next year the same quest is available, Majesty Rest. you can get 6x Candy Corn Gurads (mad king's guard) by checking both the entrance/exit of majesty rest, its very close to the balthazar shrine, but the better way is to run pass the bone dragons, entering the mausoleum without fighting them. You won't die! just ran pass them.

Tip for "Defeat Geoffrey the Butler to recover Mad King Thorn's left slipper".

body block him so he don't run away

otherwise you're gonna have to kill more to complete the quest, I ran to the spot, wait for him to finished the talk, and kill him not even 15 minutes.

Tip for "Open the Flood Gates of Death" (Kamadan quest)

get the Mad King's Guard to trigger the quest, run back to the gate near bone palace where you exited after mounting the wurms. kill all that appear. leave, get reward, also not more then 15 minutes.

Tip for getting rid of the SUITORS

kill the suitors , you can leave the rest, it doesn't affect the quest, but watch out for Monks.

Scary · Nov 03, 2010, 06:27 AM // 06:27

Yep Ty indeed.

And true you didn't really had to grind to get some stacks.
Sure I have guildies who have 8 stacks of every items as cookies and corns etc.

me in previous years just had 1 or 2 stacks, now I had about 12.
And that was by doin quests with several chars and some skellie hunts.
Nop Anet sure did a good thing by giving everybody the chance to earn some gold and ToT's

DetreS · Nov 03, 2010, 07:24 AM // 07:24

Anet is doing the things easy for lazy people.. now with this quests and stacks of ToT's everybody can finish the party/drunkard/sweet titles, or win a fast money selling this stacks at 25-30k and in a few days at more...
Some people of my guild gots +70 stacks of tot's in the few days...
Anet only want people stay "happy" with the game, and dont need to spend time in "hard" things...

Showtime · Nov 03, 2010, 07:43 AM // 07:43

or maybe anet is doing something to punish all those idiot speculators/power traders paying 35 - 50k a stack opening weekend. dumbasses lol wtb tots 35k stack. you know who you are.

all in all... very well done imo.

pumpkin pie · Nov 03, 2010, 07:45 AM // 07:45

by the way, those are acquired in not more then 24 hours hehehehehehehe

Johny bravo · Nov 03, 2010, 07:46 AM // 07:46

The quests this year didn't really change that much as far as stack of ToTs. In the end the majority of the stacks I got was from farming Skeletons for every little bit helps. You could easily get 2 stacks in just a little over an hour + the 20K that went with it.
I was GWAMM well before I started farming for TOT bags using these quests I just do them because it is kind of fun rolling though NM UW with random pugs. No pressure from the SC pros, or dying b/c you are soloing. You grabbed one SOS one UA and then whatever pugs wanted to come for additional DPS. If money was the only thing holding people back from GWAMM I have no problem with them getting it from grinding out ToT bags. The other alternative is doing DOA or UW SCs for ectos and armbraces, same thing different method. This eliminates the middle man because you don't have to spam for sweets. I think the people complaining are the ones that want to sell their title points items a lot but can't as the flood of bags has crashed the markets for now

The new quests were cool but I hope there is more to them coming up soon. They seemed to hint towards something but there was no conclusion.

Coast · Nov 03, 2010, 09:08 AM // 09:08

lol, some guildies got over 100stacks

distilledwill · Nov 03, 2010, 09:15 AM // 09:15

I got a grand total of no stacks (at least, not a whole stack at a time). I opened all the bags I got from completing the LA and Kamadan quests on one character, then just continued mapping!

Booo to grind, booo!

*Darcy* · Nov 03, 2010, 09:28 AM // 09:28

The new quests were great fun. Something different to do and the new lore was great. Can't wait to see the continuation next year. I still have three characters who haven't reached the Bone Palace yet, so I'll have to work on them.

Of course, because I'm working on Party title, most of my ToTs contained sweets and alcohol.

I surely hope not!!! Hopefully we would have all moved onto the sequel by October next year.

MithranArkanere · Nov 03, 2010, 11:23 AM // 11:23

I got over 5000 points in stuff. I could have got all the points I needed to max the titles, but I just can't stand to grind the same quest for too long.

To Chicken To Die · Nov 03, 2010, 11:31 AM // 11:31

Thanks for making even more titles usless and worth nothing more then they were

. Party animal sweeth tooth and drunkard are now worth even less then 500k.

Nyta · Nov 03, 2010, 11:35 AM // 11:35

I loved the quests, too. Several of them were incredibly amusing, especially the dialogue from the quest givers, and the dialogue with the stablehand and the guy who stole Thorn's book. The things the quest givers say when you ask them about the quest after accepting it was funny, too.

I kept having the feeling that much of the dialogue was merely copied from other sources, though.
