Drop of Fear

I'm far more interested in Tragic for my necro. But I am still about 7,000 points away from getting there. I'm playing the cheaper game as it is easier to get loss points. Still a ways away from the 3rd tier of the lucky track. It takes forty lock pick failures to get 1,000 unlucky points and that is 60,000 g. I might just wait for the next festival and do lockpicking while I can.

I got Tragic this weekend and while I was working on that finished up that last few minutes I needed for drunkard too. With the issues we had in the beginning I wasnt sure if I would make it having lost around 1000 unlucky points from the rollback issue. But thankfully they extended it for a day and that let me get the last points I needed.

Miles off. I've been very intermitent with these weekends. The first i skipped completely... others i couldn't attend at all or joined in on intermitantly. Upto 380k atm, up about 200k from last week.
Seems to me like for the majority this title won't be maxable... Retaining Lockpicks is hardly an effective way to max it.

No, I don't like paying for titles.

Time and patience and commitment, yes. But not money. The Vanquisher title, the Explorer title, Fame (which requires some 'farming'), Lightbringer, Sunspear, or Kurzick/Luxon do not require money to acquire.
Yes, they all technically are farmed, but at least I don't see a hit in my gold bag.

Some titles require money/or are way easier to do with money. Protector Titles, Guardian Titles Allegiance Titles etc do not require cash, but does require time and skill. Time=money is only true if you're a gold farmer. I wonder how many ppl ebay'ed their way to some of these titles?
Mordakai
Legendary Defender and Protector titles are "free" as well.
I understand what you are saying Slainster, but Gold is Gold. Some of us want our Titles and our money, too!
Survivor, too.
SuperDave You can Ebay the gold, but you still have to open chests, unlock Elites, identify Golds, drink alcohol, eat sweets, and stand on Circles. True, some require less skill than others, but all require a significant amount of time, even if Lucky/Unlucky can be AFK...

Grats, Slainster.
What's the increase chance that Lockpicks won't break with Golden?

+2% - +12%, depending on your Treasure Hunter rank.
Gratz on the Golden. I'm too fidgety to stand in that circle unfortunately.

Gratz on the Golden I had never cared about the Lucky title track until they made the lockpicks based on that and treasure hunter :P
So I started this weekend, and managed to get Charmed, that will tide me over until the next AFK event weekend lol

There's a bunch of people out there that have Golden. I WAS in the running to be one of the first to hit it, but some bad disconnects left me behind the pack back in the earlier festival runs.
I'm 90k short of Golden.

I would have gotten the Prosperous title and by weekends end had golden had ANET not glitched and gave me an err that rolled back my stuff to when i started the ticket farming. 
after that i just got annoyed and played dragon arenas all weekend.

blessed by fate 2.5mil

the rollback miffed me at first, but I ended up having a good run 2nd time around... here's 2.5mill title
tyche7
I don't have the money to get golden -- thus far I'm actually surprised but I was able to reach favored!! :-D
Silly Warrior
Why Anet made the max higher is beyond me, its not like anyone was exploiting it... (like LB and Sunspear).
I see no reason for it to be raised, but I'm sure there will be more than enough events in the future to get the Lucky titles higher.
My only guess for why they raised it is perhaps the thought more people would be trying to get it (too lazy to stand in a circle for hundreds of hours).
And I have Rank 2 Lucky.

I'm about 70k points from Golden.

Would have had over 200,000 tickets above Golden if not for three roll backs.

Grats Slainster, You warrior is the long lost twin sister of mine btw xD
Im on 581,000 odd at the moment, while to go for Golden =/ I want it though, it sounds pretty xD Doubt I could be bothered to go for max with the new addition of tier 6 however -.-

I'm a little shy of Prosperous. My guildies laughed at me when I told them my tickets disappeared, then we found out about the rollbacks. /frown
Was nice to get the extra day of festival, though!

would have done it, but I realised how much money/time I'd have to waste.... and since they changed the max title to 2.5 mill (for now), I think I made the right choice

The rollbacks were about 6-8 hours of idling. Because of the rollbacks we got an extra 24 hours, so thank the rollbacks dont hate them.

Much more sensible just to use lockpicks on 600g chests to get to Golden.
Loving how you save about 1.8 million gold maxing treasure with lockpicks vs keys.
I'm about 100k from Golden. Gg on 1.127, that's crazy.
