*'''Double Sunspear & Lightbringer Points''' -- ''13 January 2009''
:This weekend you will receive double Sunspear and Lightbringer points in both Hard mode and regular gameplay. Check in with the appropriate resurrection shrine NPC to obtain the bounty, and double up on the rewards from Noon Pacific on Friday, January 16, through 11:59pm on Sunday, January 18.

At least we can't break favor this time.

A yearly event then? Kinda hope they make it more often since it won't have issues with favor anymore.

Question: does that bonus also doubles the amount of SS/LB faction you get as reward for vanquishing an area?

About damn time, feels like I've been waiting forever. Time to max SS on couple characters and maybe LB on one or two.

Nah. Will be ignoring this and doing something else.

Not a bad weekend I'm sure, just not productive for me.

I plan to max it on my new character. I farmed this a long time ago in wurms on my main character. I don't remember where I left from or what quest I need for the farm to work properly. Any ideas? thanks.

Did desolation get nerfed or still farmable?

After fixing the favor problem this weekend will most likely appear more often than just once a year, I'd expect 2-3x, there always seem to be lots of people wanting it.

My understanding is that these weekends count all sources of points except books...

...so I'll be taking Aeron out to vanquish a few Vabbian zones, and maybe even moving into the desert. Already have SS maxed, so I can concentrate on getting the best return for LB points.

Ah, nifty. Suppose I'll be playing on Nightfall this weekend - need to work on my Dervish anyway and I just started an Ele I haven't gotten a chance to do anything with yet. Kill two birds with one stone!

Maxed both on my going for GWAMM para, still trying to see what would be the main incentive of trying to max the titles again on another character.

Anyone with any ideas? It's not like all the sunspear skills are that useful either, apart from TNTF!

Hmmmm, I was starting to play my mesmer, but I might try to get through the desolation on my ranger before friday. Depends on if I feel like grinding. Haven't done many weekend events lately....

Actually.....I might go vanquish for my points. 2 birds with 1 stone.
