So, after reading your great guide, I decided that I would start making a quick, small start in my monks drunkard by using the spiked's I had leftover from wintersday. I started off using ELC->Warriors (at about 7:15ish EST), but wasn't getting much in the way of results, so I figured that the window was just smaller due to fluctuation based upon time of day as you said is a possible explanation. Anyway, I ended up at Abaddon's Mouth (from there to Warrior's Isle), and found out that nearly every time I zoned, I got 3 minutes. Also, the window seemed to be permanently open. Now, I only had about 50ish spiked's, so I definitely wouldn't call this proper testing, but I think it would be noteworthy/worth undergoing proper testing. Ended up doing this from about 7:25-7:30 EST btw.

wonderful guide, altough i didnt quite get what you were talking about until i tried XD
my guild has the isle of meditation guild hall, and i started trying in ember light camp. the window was incredibly small, and i found it out in a weird way. i used a spiked and went to GH, didnt get anything, then pressed to return to ember and got 1 min. Then, tried returning to GH and didnt get anything, back to ember, nothing, back to GH, nothing, and so on, until one of the teleports gave me another minute, and later i got the other one. as long as i kept teleporting, i noticed i did not miss my drunkness level, but in ember it was taking waaay too long teleporting to get those minutes.
then, i tried nolani, and it was better, but still a small window. So, i said to myself, whats the most worthless place in all of tyria? (my drunk char only has all of tyria open, and a little of the others.). the answer was clear, ice tooth cave (if you dont know this outpost, dont worry, there isnt even a quest here, so you didnt miss a thing.). There, i found a perma-window, even tried different times of the day and it seems to be working. so, put that on your list:
Ice Tooth Cave > Isle of Meditation
at least for me its a perma window, hope it works for other ppl :P

For any of you who are getting this behavior (3 Drunkard minutes after every zone), I'd like to know how many drinks you tested this with, how many real-world minutes/hours you spent testing, and what time of the day you conducted your tests (and, of course, where you were zoning to/from). Basically I'm curious to find out if this a "quirk" or an actual repeatable feature that can be consistently utilized.

Ok, I got 3 minutes per zone about half the time... the other half 2 one way 3 the other.

I got about 300 minutes this way, consistently. I didn't check the time but it must have been half an hour or less. It was about 3 EST today from Iron Mines to Imperial Isle.

Pretty much all I did was keep my title window open and see how much the drunk track went up on the first zone (iron mines *to* GH), and drank that many regular eggnogs in the hall before zoning back. It was always 2 or 3 and it would stay on one for a few minutes before going to the other. I used a spiked nog in iron mines and regular nogs in my Guild hall. (I assume this is what you meant, not an exploit that lets you get 6 minutes out of a spiked nog).

Since most of the time is spent zoning, not clicking, you could probably nearly half the time you have to waste drinking if you found a place/time that let you get 3 each way consistently, but even if you only get one minute on the first zone, you can drink one nog in the hall and save a little time.

on my tests, sometimes, when teleporting back from isle of meditation to ice tooth caves, i didnt get anything, but every time i zoned from ice tooth caves to the isle of meditation, i got 1 minute. I actually liked it this way, because it may take a little more time, but when it happens, i get the chance to use another normal alcohol and increase the drunkness i get with less overall alcohol.

MrPlacebo · Mar 08, 2007, 05:13 AM // 05:13

I plan on doing this title however i dont want to spend extra money or time zoning in and out of locations....unless it is much cheaper to do it this way.
So whats the cheapest/quickest way to drink in order to achieve this title? Also what types of alcohol yeild how many minutes, ive heard some yield different lengths of minutes

There is no "cheaper" way to obtain the title, the results are all the same. You can do it much faster this way though. Each time you get to lvl 5 of drunkness, you can get up to 3 minutes of time by zoning. You can't get any more than that.

mb007 · Mar 08, 2007, 03:40 PM // 15:40

YAY i got it finally

I wanna thx dragou for nice guide, wihout it I wouldnt go for title.

tips for you others: i was getting 3 mins on each zoning using the way Corrupted Isle>>Abbadon's Mouth (GMT 2PM-6PM)..so thats like 6 in game minutes for 8-10 sec in real time (lower ur music and graphics options)...hope it works for you aswell. And yea, if u have much money buy just Spiked Eggnog its way easier and faster. GL

SluggyTheZealot · Mar 13, 2007, 09:03 PM // 21:03

Hey dragou, I was just doin some testing and I am getting 3 minutes on each zone from jokanur diggings to isle of wurms....Actually its approximately a 55 second window of 3 minutes each way, and then 5 seconds of the normal 1 minute to hall, 2 minutes back.

This is from 8-9pm gmt and it is still working. Great guide, gonna go through these 2500 spiked nogs in no time ^^

My Sweet Revenga · Mar 17, 2007, 09:38 PM // 21:38

Yeah I did it with spiked eggnogs just before new years. Basically if you drink a spiked eggnog, you will get 3 minutes tacked on no matter what. But rather than sitting in one spot waiting for the 3 minutes to be added to your title, you can zone in or out of town and make the minutes expire quicker. Even if you zone through a portal and only 1-2 minutes get added to your title, you're still under the drunk condition and the remaining minutes will be added eventually if you either just sit and wait for the extra minutes to pass, or zone through another portal again to take up the rest of the minutes. This is really inefficient however because it requires twice as much time and work to go through another portal. The quickest and most optimal way to get the drunkard title is to try to satisfy the following requirements:

1) Find an outpost portal that will make ALL 3 minutes expire in one pass and preferably in both directions in and out of town. Most of the towns I tested only did maybe 1-2 minutes in either direction, and some even did the full 3 minutes in one direction, but less going back the other way (ugh!).
2) When you zone on either side of the portal, you are facing directly away from the portal and as close to the portal as possible. That way you can spin around using the 180 turn keybind and just run straight through the portal again after drinking another spiked nog.

Unfortunately, there isn't any one town that meets all these conditions for everybody. As far as I can tell, it is either based on time of day, the number of people in the outpost, account based, regional based, I have no idea. I just know it's not globally the same for everybody. I tested every outpost in all 3 campaigns and I could only find 2 outposts that worked for me, one of which was only temporary.

Iron Mines in Tyria was nice because when spawning on either side of the portal, I was facing almost directly away from the door so I could just spin around using the 180 turn key, drink a spiked nog, and hit the autorun key so I'd run back through the portal. Every time it would tack the full 3 minutes to my title. This was also the fastest portal because when you zone outside, you are about a foot away from the portal so you as soon as I loaded outside, I could quickly drink a spiked nog, turn around and run right back in almost immediately. Instant 3 minutes to title in under 3 seconds. Unfortunately, this one stopped working for me the next day where I would only get 1 minute elapsed zoning 1 direction, and 2 minutes zoning the other way. So I dunno what condition is required for this outpost to be ideal, but it was nice and fast while it lasted.

The other outpost that ALWAYS works for me is Bergen Hotsprings in Tyria. This one is a little more work though because when you spawn inside the outpost, you're not directly facing away from the door. I always had to spin around, hit autorun, and then turn my character a little to the right to aim for the door.

Using this method, you can get 6 minutes in about 10 seconds (depending on how fast your computer loads after going through a portal and how far you spawn from the doors). I got my title in about 6-8 hours, and I got worker's comp for Repeated Stress Injury to boot!

(yeah ok I lie about the last part)

Um, there is no cheaper way of doing this. If you wanna get the title right away, you gotta buy the booze to do it. If you're willing to wait a while, you can collect the booze yourself from festive events, but that seems to involve quite a bit of work to accumulate booze quickly, and we all know time=money. And you don't want to waste time zoning in and out of locations? Zoning is by far the fastest way to get this title. The alternative is to set up some kind of script to make your computer auto drink the booze while you go to bed.... but chances are you'll be recognized as a bot and have your account banned so probably not a good idea.

Works best with a few pint's of Guinness nearby. Happy St. Patrick's Day to you all!!

Details of 3 mins per zone I was just able to accomplish: (thanks to ..*hick*.. everyone here posting for there experience which inspired me to give a shot...*hick*...lotsa shots)

Time: 11:00 PM (PST) to 12:20 AM (PST)
American server
Character Age: 14 months+

Kamadan + spiked nog ===> GH*Isle of Meditation +3mins Drunk (every time)

GH*Isle of Meditation + 3 regular alcohol of any type ===> Kamadan +3 mins Drunk [(97% of time) :: sometimes I only got 2 mins of drunk time]

NOTE: might be 3 alcohols = 3 mins from GH 100% of time, but I could have been mis-clicking and only hit two alcohols. I did catch myself hitting only 2 alcohol a couple times and it did only yield +2 mins upon return to Kamadan. I also tried experiments with only 1 alcohol and 2 alcohols at start to determine 3 alcohols are needed for the full 3 mins drunk time credit when returning to town from the Guild Hall.

Other towns I tried that had nothing close to the same results prior to this location and method find: Basalt, Iron Mines, THK, Bergen Hot Springs, Bone Palace, Gate of Torment, Abaddon's Gate. Some worked better then others, with Bergen, THK, and Iron Mines being the worst for me.

Find_&_Seek · Mar 19, 2007, 02:00 AM // 02:00

GH (Wizards Isle) to Gate of Secrets +3 mins each way (drinking 1 spiked in between).

Draygonia_Advanced · Mar 19, 2007, 06:08 PM // 18:08

How do you know this was not patched or will not be patched in the future? This is a bug, and an exploit and Anet has probably fixed it by now.

DrD · Mar 19, 2007, 06:55 PM // 18:55

Man I want this title so bad I just have a hard time finding sellers for Spiked Eggnog

LazyLink · Mar 20, 2007, 06:59 AM // 06:59

Can someone please clarify something for me:

When you zone FROM your GH to the outpost do you lose all of you drunk levels or only those that count towards the drunkard title, such as drunk levels 3,4 and 5?

Gamer6432 · Mar 21, 2007, 03:45 AM // 03:45

I've seen to have a permanent window that gives me 3 minutes both was between my guild hall (Isle of Solitude) and Kamadan, Jewel of Istan. I'm using 5 Dwarvan Ales both ways, waiting about 5-7 seconds after the 5th ale before zoning.

Komradkyle · Mar 21, 2007, 03:06 PM // 15:06

Im just so confused there is too much information and inconsistancies between players. Why would all this drunk levels be hidden and such in the game. I feel like a dumb a55 because how would anyone know to first figure this stuff out.

bobtheveg · Mar 25, 2007, 03:47 AM // 03:47

I was in Maguuma Stade(MS) international [216.107.145.49] and found that it was a variable permanent window.

Here is the details switching from MS to Guild Hall(GH) Imperial Isle :

-- Case #1 50/60sec:
Starting from MS.
drink a Spiked Eggnog(SE) (+5 hidden lvl)

Zone to GH.(-2 hidden lvl)
2 minutes gained to the Drunk title.
drink 2 ale ( any 1 min ale, sharmrock ale in this case).(+2 hidden lvl)

Zone to MS.(-5 hidden lvl)
3 minutes gained to the Drunk title.
-- End Case #1, 1xSE+2xAle consumed => 5 minutes gained

-- Case #2 10/60sec:
Starting from MS.
drink a Spiked Eggnog(SE) (+5 hidden lvl)

Zone to GH. (-3 hidden lvl)
3 minutes gained to the Drunk title.
drink 3 ale ( any 1 min ale, sharmrock ale in this case).(+3 hidden lvl)

Zone to MS.(-5 hidden lvl)
3 minutes gained to the Drunk title.
-- End Case #2, 1xSE+3xAle consumed => 6 minutes gained

I did not see any windows as good as this 1, I hope it works for everyone else.

*refer to wiki for what hidden lvl is.

*Always pay attention to your title window to confirm the minutes gained each time you zone.
