Im a little confused on how this works, I tried this earlier today and it didnt work for me.

I went to Ember Light Camp, I drank 5 alcohol zoned to Frozen Isle zoned back, no minutes so I had to constantly zone back and forth till my minutes eventually came back.

I also tried the Borealis Station Europe and International and it didnt work either.

What am I missing?

The places from the first Post do not work anymore. Try to find your own places, there are still some. Yesterday a guildmate found one from LA to Ascalon, but didn't work for more then 10 minutes.

As of right now it's still working. Buy up those victory tokens... 10 tokens = 1 Firewater...

I've maxed my title now - GL everyone else.

Before I fork over a million gold, can someone confirm that Firewaters are identical to Spiked Eggnog in effect...regarding the zoning trick?

1 Firewater = 3 min when zoning? No additional alcohol needed?

They do NOT appear to be identical. Even when the above zoning trick works I just get 1 minutes...and then if I wait two minutes the other two minutes of effect spring up AFTER I zoned.

They ARE identical, I guarantee it. I bought about 40 stacks of Victory Tokens yesterday, and converted them all to Firewaters at the token NPC. These are what I used to complete my title ie. Firewaters only, nothing else. In the past I've used Spiked Eggnogs, Aged Dwarven Ales, and even 5 random 1-minute alcohols... they've all worked the same.

If you only get 1 minute, your zone is only partially working, and the same thing would happen no matter what type of alcohol you used. Remember that zones are not permanent! The one I posted above could have become one of these "partial" zones by now, or it might have stopped working altogether.

Before I found the EotN->Gunnars zone, I found many such partially-working zones. These seem to work a bit like the "window" theory in the original posts from way back.

In these zones, you usually find that it works for maybe 30-40 seconds, then you only get one minute when you zone. If you wait 10-20 seconds and rezone, you'll probably get the other 2 minutes as well, and the zone will work fully for another 30-40 seconds. Sometimes these zones stop working at all after a few minutes.

When looking for a FULLY working zone - one that works every time for more than just a few minutes... you have to watch your points after EVERY rezone for at least 5 minutes to be sure you've found a good one.

It looks like when I zone, it takes a little while for my drunkenness to catch up, so to speak. I have to wait 30 seconds or so, then zone. I have tried this from many different towns.

So whats the difference between the flask of fire water and the spiked egg nog.. and the other thing that gives u lvl 5 drunkard.

so why would you use 3 alchohs then a +5? when u can only be lvl 5. not lvl 8

When that message was written, Firewater gave 2 levels, not 5 as now.

Droknar's Forge -> Isle of Meditation
Ember Light Camp -> Frozen Isle / Hunter's Isle (*) / Warrior's Isle

Kamadan, Jewel of Istan -> Wizard's Isle (*)

Nolani Academy -> Isle of Solitude (*)
Quarrel Falls -> Isle of Meditation (*)
Seeker's Passage -> Isle of Solitude (*)

Droknar's Forge -> Talus Chute
Kamadan, Jewel of Istan -> Consulate Docks
These last two combos could be useful for players without a GH; bring a running skill to speed zoning


are those still working?? and if they are not, do you guys know any perma open windows atm?
already thnx

Don't know about permanent windows (don't seem to ever see any for me). But I noticed if you try some towns say start in europe district of gunnar's hold, drink to level 5 zone to asian district sometimes you'll get all 3 minutes in 1 go. Then to repeat you go back to europe, then drink and go back to asia. Seems to usually work a lot for me once I find a good town I can usually do it for multiple hours.

Note, you can change and try all sorts of different towns, canthan like house zu heltzer, lion's arch, nightfall towns. Usually once you find a town that it works going from one random district (europe) to asia/ korea or whatever. It usually works all day for that day/ town. But the next day it could be gone and you have to find another town.

1. Start in town X
2. Drink lvl 5
3. Zone to town Y
4. Zone back to town X
5. Verify 3 minutes of consumption in Hero panel
6. Repeat 2 thru 6

?

Thanks!

Yes, but you don't have to go from town x to town y. I've been gettin 3 mins straight everytime from going town x ad1 to town X eu1. Works a lot better for me, but again, it varies from account to account.
