Impressive, some intense research and successful discovery.
this guide is well detailed and contains all necessary info.

Yesterday I sat for about an hour zoning and getting 3 points both ways, it was great I rake up about 2,200 minutes! Then I ran out of spiked eggnog, so I shut the game off and when I came back to it a couple hours later and got some more eggnog, I couldn't get the zoning to work at all, I tried everywhere, I nearly wasted my whole 250 stack of spiked eggnog trying. I when did start the game back up there was a small little download, could they have fix the zoning?

Wow, Im extremely unhappy, because, to go along with the above post, i believe they fixed it. I have been using 1 minute ales, because i got them for a decent price, so, what I was doing was Drink 5, zone (achieving 3 minutes) drink 3, then zone back (achieving 3 more minutes). Now zoning gives me zero minutes, but I only have to drink one to get back to max drunk. If anyone can comment on this, it would be great. Thanks

I to am still waiting for somone to comment on this, I know I was doing it late at night, so mabye I just have to wait until later tonight, not sure. But Im going to be real unhappy if it got fixed, it might have been an exploit but it still took alot of time. Now it'll be almost impossable.

Well I am not trying to go for the title, but when I saw this thread I tested it. I failed at it. I got it a few times but I couldn't figure out the timezone. I tried it now and im getting nothing at all. They MIGHT have fixed it, cuz i got the update too...but I had trouble with it in the first place, so it could just be me.

I got absolutely nothing for about 1 hour. But I could just have TERRIBLE luck.

There's this line in the april 5 update notes:

Fixed a bug that caused various game timers to drift out of sync with real time.

That might have to do with this. I'll do some testing tonight.

Well i got the max title, and thanks to this thread i did but i have to advise that i expend MORE that 2 mill in nogs to be able of get it... this is a REALLY expensive title and is anet fault thou... no enoguht buzz in the game for a good price... but well thanks to Dragou Du Porzan for putting this guide together I actually after reading find out the basis and found the places that work, I found windows of oportunity that work 100 % of the times and are the best to avoid wasting this expensive stuff ... gl to all on persue of this title...

I tested, and it still works. I had to find new locations for good results though; my old ones didn't do much for me anymore.

LazyLink · Apr 10, 2007, 09:53 PM // 21:53

It still works, but I can't find any permanent windows. Also, drunk levels seem to travel across zones even if you dont gain minutes, and the graphic for the drunkeness does not appear.

For example here is what I did:

Drink 5 beers in the outpost
Move to Guild Hall
See how many minutes I gained, for some reason it was usually 1, if it was so then I'd drink one more and go back to the outpost Note: the animation for being drunk is gone even though I still have drunk levels on, because immediately after I drink a beer the graphic appears for level 5 drunk. If I gained zero minutes I'd go back an forth until I see myself gaining minutes. When I see myself gaining minutes I'd drink the amount of minutes I lost, because eventually I would go down from drunk level 5 to drunk level 0 in one travel.
So, it does still work.

I would like to know if drunk levels tranfer across instance zones to outpost, I think that would be an excellent update because then we wouldn't have to rely on this exploit we would actually play drunk!

GREAT guide

gotta admit i was sceptic at first, but it works like a charm^^
fyi- iron mines of moladune - imperial GH has a constant time window at around noon-ish GMT+1 and here are some things i found that were worth mentioning

i only read the first few pages of this thread so i apologize if someone already mentioned this, but as i was zoning to and from my guildhall i noticed that when another guildie was present in my guildhall i didn't get any minutes towards my title (even after maptravelling to and from a couple of times), but when he left, BANG, i got them when i exited my GH. this 'may' account for some problems you guys've been having.
also, i didn't always get the minutes i was supposed to when maptravelling once - e.g. i didn't get my minute(s) when maptravelling to my GH, but when i maptravelled back -without taking extra alcohol- i got them. if u didn't get the equivalent amount of minutes with regards to the amount of alcohol u drank, just maptravel to and from a few times

from the locations i used it seemed to fluctuate btwn receiving 1 minute when going to the GH or getting 3 minutes when going to the GH (<<spiked eggnogs) but usually i got all the remaining minutes (with or without drinking extra alcohol in GH) when maptravelling back to moladune.

now my only problem is, like so many others', getting the alcohol

heh, guess i'll start saving up collector items for this year's halloweenXD

Because I'm still getting a fairly large volume of in-game PMs with questions about this guide, I've added a Q-and-A section to the end of my original post. I'm hopeful that this will answer the majority of questions for people having trouble following the guide (particularly on the subject of "windows", which I know has been a sticking point for many). If you still have question you can feel free to PM me, but I ask that you read this Q-and-A section thoroughly before doing so - all your answers should be there. Thanks, and GL to those pursuing Drunkard/IAH!

i was in Shing jea having drunk a considerable amount of alcheol already, when i remeber hearing about this, so i tryed Shinjea-imperial island, but im on a new comp and didnt want to download 1000+ files atm, so i exited the program (Alt+F4), when i logged back in i was still at Shing jea(server didnt register me leaveing) and i checked my time... i gained 6 min, and i dont know how O.o please someone tell me im not insane

AngeloM3 · Jul 06, 2007, 10:26 PM // 22:26

Anyone have any input on the city I should start off in.... if I'm zoning to Isle of the Dead?

pork soldier · Jul 08, 2007, 12:07 AM // 00:07

From Breaker Hollow -> Wizard's Isle I'm gaining exactly one minute per zone, I'm losing 0 minutes on exit.

I think they fixed the 'lose all minutes on leave guild hall' effect

In any case, it doesn't work with my guildhall.

Drinking while in the hall doesn't get me anywhere either, it's pretty much:

go to Breaker Hollow, drink 5 levels, zone to GH via button, leave GH via button, drink 1, zone to GH, leave GH, drink 1, repeat ad nauseum...

it has been some time since i entered this thread, and i hadn't seen this post of urs until now, but anyway, what i meant was, i got 1 minute from ice tooth cave to isle of meditation, then from isle back to cave i got nothing, then back to isle, got another minute, back to cave, nothing, back to isle, another minute, back to cave, nothing, but i was still lvl 2 drunk! Then i just had to drink 3 lvl 1 drinks, which would be cheaper then 1 spiked eggnog. It's a bit slower, but it is a bit cheaper also.

Thats in theory, btw, because sometimes i lost all my minutes zoning for one to the other, in which case i just used a spiked, but when i didnt i just replenished the 1 minute lost with a 1 minute alcohol.

Interesting thing happened on my way to IAH. I started in Ice Mines of Moladune->Isle of Meditation (Dasha Vestibule stopped working for me for some reason) and got to level 5. Zoned to GH. Gained 1 minute. Zoned back to Ice Mines and didn't gain anything. I zoned back and forth a couple times without drinking anything extra, with no change. When I got back to Ice Mines, I decided to liquor myself back to level 5. When I zoned, I gained another minute. So I tried that again. It seemed that every time I zoned from Ice Mines to my guild hall (not the other way around), I gained 1 and ONLY 1 min of drunkenness and ONLY after I drank 1 drink to bring myself back to level 5. However, I only lost 1 level as well. So I continued that strategy:
Drink 1 more to level 5 while in Ice Mines
Zone (gain 1 min lose 1 level)
Zone back
Drink 1 more back to level 5 and repeat.
I don't know why this happened and why the actual zoning trick isn't working, but was still an accelerated drunk rate, though slower than the original way. An added bonus is that I also did not waste any excess drinks getting myself back to level 5 (I am only on ale for the moment). Anyways, just thought this might help others who are going for this title and have an Isle of Meditation GH.

PS-While the window was not permanent, it was damn near close. I just had to rezone a couple times to get the minute and then start my pattern over.

That's exactly what I saw going from Breaker Hollow to the Wizard's Isle, I'd only lose the top minute off the top of the stack (minute 5) when I went to the GH - and on leaving the GH I'd lose zero minutes.

I could drink another beer and then go to the GH for another instant minute of drunk time, leave GH, drink booze, go to GH for 1 minute, leave, drink, go, leave, drink, go, leave, drink, etc..

Mishakals Servant · Aug 10, 2007, 01:47 AM // 01:47

ok i was trying your windows method from quarrel falls to island of meditation and whenever i switched back or too my GH i didn't get any minutes, and eventually i would get minutes one at a time, but it seemed like it was just doing the reg 1 drunk min per 1 RL min, so i don't know what happende, ( this was a (9:30)...

Viscer Blackrayne · Aug 14, 2007, 09:43 PM // 21:43

I've tried this recently using your method. (im using warriors isle as well) and from various places. I think they fixed this little 'problem' cause I've tried and it the amount of time I use transporting for guild hall to whatever city. stays constant with the amount of time I'm drunk. basically its no different if I were to just stand in town waiting for the minutes to pass. it takes me approximately 3 seconds for me to fast travel and click on my guildhall button again. If anyone has any updates it would be greatly appreciated.

Dragou Du Porzan · Aug 16, 2007, 02:12 PM // 14:12

To those having trouble getting minutes through zoning, I can assure you that the system still works. A number of people have contacted me confirming that they are still quickly accruing minutes using the zoning strategy. My suggestion is to scan through the thread to see which outpost(s) people using your GH have had success with and trying those locations (a partial list is included at the end of my original post). If you've done that and still are having trouble, try again at a different time of day and see if that helps.

If all else fails, post here and include a.) the GH you're using, b.) the outpost(s) you zoned from, c.) what times of day you made your attempt(s), and d.) any other pertinent info you can think of. Hopefully people who share your GH can offer suggestions as to where/when you'd have the best success.
