boring afk 9 rings... probably around 36 hours or so. Cost a lot too.
On the way to r4 lucky and unlucky.

Rest was keg farming and token quests... hope to get an ox or 2 from all the lunar fortunes...

Grats! Spent the whole week-end rollerbeetling and it was most fun (despite lag/rubberbanding and being kd'd most of the time without more than 471.5k). Afk 9rings the rest of the time. r2 gamer (and a zkey), r3 lucky, good progress for r3 unlucky, around 700 party points and 10k.

Amount of fun rollerbeetling: priceless

Did all 6 quests 16 times, opened 800-something fortunes, no ox. Spent the rest of the time on the rings to finally max Lucky. Opened the 76 red bags I got while afk-ing, got some more lunar tokens, opened some 30-ish more fortunes, still no ox. Blessed by Fate my &$%. Well, at least I didn't disconnect while maxing luck.

AFK'd as much as possible on my main account, reached r5 Lucky (and hopefully still going). Did the quests on 15 characters across 2 accounts, RPS'd what I could be bothered to. Got 2 Ox's from the fortunes I had, gave one and all the party points I got to my boyfriend who's going for the title. Nommed loads of sugar and booze as a result ^^. [pre]MYST[/pre] was hosting events so my Sunday was a mixture of hosting and getting what I could from the event. Many thanks to everyone who showed up.

I did the quests on 7 characters,
bought and opened Fortunes until I got a mini ox,
did events 3-7 (forgot about 1 & 2 as I was watching tennis),
played some Dragonball (won once but gained enough Faction to buy a key)
now I'm doing Nine Rings - throwing gold away for Lucky/Unlucky points

I've had a great time enjoying the festival. Thank you ArenaNet.

Spent 100k on tickets and AFK 9 rings.
Sold all my wood and dust. Sold almost all party and sweet tooth points. Made 120k.
Played backup to a guildie running ingredients, then ran ingredients 3 hours later.
Got the district to yell "moo!" when the Ox arrived.
Went back to AFK the rings.


I'll still need to run some chests in order to get that last 250k lucky points I need.

Farmed party points for my boyfriend by doing CNY quests. I got pretty lucky with the red gift bags, because quite a few of them gave me tokens. Once I nearly doubled my gift bag count because I got so many tokens

Sat around during the finale and AFKed when I had to sleep/go to school.

For the actual CNY - went visiting, had a reunion dinner, got red envelopes, the usual.

maaaaan, its boring to craft 600 rockets one at a time lol
Did the quests on 6 chars, and had a big lol over being mo/a just to have dash and dark excape to speed it up.
The most fun part was actually farming for the ingredients to every finale with guildies or solo, we got to visit odd places long forgotten^^

Farmed quests thru 14 chars, totaling 2100 tokens.
Got to 650 red gift bags with all tokens and sponsored events.
Maxed Party (finally!). It was the only char-based title left, now only account-based titles left...
AFK'd (still am) 9 rings. (Estimate I will have to run 400k chests for the last bit of lucky though).
Bought Ox.

Did every lunar token rewarding quest on all ten characters, traded them all for a total of 512 fortunes, opened the lot and got my ox and a crap load of fireworks, then sod all after that because there's nothing else worth doing imo.

If I had known the mask would be the same as last years, I wouldn't have participated in this years one at all. So I ended up spending my single stack of tokens on lunar fortunes, hoping to get an ox mini. No luck.

The McTigger monks clapped for us all day and looked great in their coordinating outfits, and we had lots of dancing and laughs.

Did all quests on each of 10 pve characters. Would have been 11 if Canthan new year came to pre-searing Ascalon. Worked up a little spreadsheet on best options for converting lunar tokens. What I didn't spend with RPS, I converted to red bags. AFK's the rings with the rest of the time. 1,300 points from maxing Party and now midway between R4 and R5 lucky and unlucky - bit closer with unlucky.

Also, helped guildies and alliance mates with a few missions. Did an Alliance Urgoz run and got a req 9 inscr. zodiac axe. Good times.

Had a pretty successful weekend. I did the six festival quests on 7 PvE characters and amassed a nice quantity of tokens, then went to Nine Rings and blew about 45k on tickets to advance my Lucky and Unlucky titles. Spent Sunday with my alliance in AD42 helping out with the festival finales, I ran the 3 am and 9 pm (Eastern) events on my mesmer and I'm glad to say we got maximum gift bags and fireworks crates every time. Got a couple of stacks of gift bags all told and ended up with a stack+ of each type of firework. Oh yes, and I got a celestial mini-ox after about 60 fortunes.
