Hi. Recently I got enought tonics to finish my party animal title, but clicking and zoning (besides being very boring) seems slow.

I am currently doing use 2, zone to a different alliance gh, use 2, zone back to my gh, repeat.

I should mention, they're all snowman tonics and i have over 3000 of them, so I can't use them in explorables apparently.

Any faster way to use them?

Forgive my apparent ignorance, but why do you use 2 for zoning? Is the delay short enough for you to actually get 2 uses in?

If you click fast enough

Fastest way is to get some of the tonics that can be used outside of an outpost, and to go oola's secret lair and spam away

Using 2 per zone halves the amount of zones, but you gotta click reasonably fast.

Never managed 3, but that'd be good too

Yeah I did that on Isle of the Nameless with BiP and 3 UA heroes when I had some transmog tonics, but as I said, snowmen ones don't work outside.

1) click fast so you get the two uses

2) Go to an outpost that has more than one district.

3) use tonics switch districts. It is that easy

Zinn's Secret Lair only works for Transmogrifier Tonic (Spelling?) tonics and Yuletide tonics.

The fastest way is exactly how you are doing it.

Open inventory and alliance screens.
Position them next to each other so mouse distance between tonics and guild halls is very short.
4-click to use 2 tonics, double click a gh, 4-click to use 2 tonics, double click a different gh, 4-click to use 2 tonics, back to other gh, etc.

you know, there's a reason why tonics are cheaper than spammable party points...

I did it just how you are doing it now. Use 2 at a time going from gh to gh. I think a stack took about 10-15 mins but I can't remember...

I do a similar thing when I want to use up tonics. I leave the Guild window open and use 2 in the Guild Hall, then leave the Guild Hall, use 2 tonics in whatever outpost, then go to the GH, use 2 tonics, etc.
I never thought of going from alliance GH to GH. If you leave the GH and go to a outpost that doesn't have many people, it's probably about the same time-wise.
