Default Tonic spam glitch

So i was spamming tonics today for my life of the party title track and i came across this neat little glitch. This may or may not already be known but i figured i would tell it anyway to help anyone also seeking the track. What i usually do is hit f9 and put the frosty tonics on the top row of my inventory right by the change district button. i change districts use a tonic and then change districts, use another and so on so on. But i noticed that if you spam tonics immediately after you enter a new district you can actually use 2 at a time. This may not seem like much but when you have 15 stacks of tonics like i do this becomes a real help and cuts my time in half. i wanted to make a video of this but for some reason my xfire isnt working.
Well GL and hf playing

-Edit
it appears that you can actually do this regardless of whether or not you just changed districts or not if u spam the tonics fast enough

Just got life of the party!

This has always been there. Doesn't matter if you zone a town or let it wear off, if you click fast enough you can use two or three. I do it in the Isle of the Nameless (Stand in the Student of Burning) so I can spam DP removal stuff and tonics at the same time.

how can you spam this in the isle of the nameless if you can only use tonics in outposts?

Click really fast and you'll use two tonics at once. You can also hit 3 if you use a macro (but don't do it).

You could use a macro (drunkbot would be considered worse than what you would use one for), you already worked for your gold to buy them, or farmed them. As long as you are at the computer clicking, (a macro could simply be 1 mouse click = 5 mouse clicks) as soon as you walk away from the game and it begins to play itself is when you breach the EULA.

I have a mouse with 5 buttons, there are the 3 normal ones, left.right.middle, and 2 side ones. It came with a program that can change any of the buttons so I made a macro 1 click = 6 to open up the ~5 stacks of tot bags i had.

True I've noticed two tonics can be used at once. Thanks for sharing.

How I spammed for party animal is I went to guild list in the alliance window, then went back and forth between GHs and hit "R" to start running. When you are running, the effect is even more delayed. I just start clicking and can usually get 3-4 in. With a macro, you may be able to get even more.

Edit: I can get up to 4 if there's a bit of lag. Up to 3 with no lag.

I think you can get even more if you click on an npc from a long distance and spam tonics between time. For me if I click on a merchant and my character auto runs to them I could hit a tonic after I click but he won't "use it" until he clicks on the merchant. I would have my normal char running to npc the entire length then when he stops he would turn into tonic.

Wonder if you could use that to put on like 20 tonics.

Longtime bug, should be changed to make infinite uses of tonics of the same type. Less annoying for title and doesnt do any harm.

been using that to get my max title during the x2 party title points event, 2-3 uses per rezone was good enough and bulk tonics were always cheaper than 1 use partypoints.

EDIT: Agree they should allow multiple uses of the same kind of tonic, it would save a lot of time rezoning and their server processing time aswell.

getting 3 is hard to do , but how it works is this

click on a npc far away , start auto walking to hit then click really fast 1 tonic, then hit thesecond one right after and i mean right after. please note you will need to have two differant tonics.

Known, but helpful for those who don't know.

It's amusing to do it with Mysterious tonics, because you can be two things at once Like an Abyssal bunny!
