How To Spam Tonics
novawhiz
Apparently this isn't well known or on gwg/internet so i thought id just share with everyone.
You can Spam Tonics thanks to War In Kryta.
During War in Kryta, near the Asura Camp near Zinn/Blimm's workshop, there is this nifty little area with:
http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Loose_Magic
Normally it makes all your skills fail, but it also...
"This effect will immediately remove Disguises caused by one of the 3 Tonics that can be used in explorables (Transmogrifier, Yuletide, and Zaishen Tonics), but the title points will still be awarded."
Just make sure your under the effects of Loose Magic and start using your tonics. Unfortunately, you can only use Zaishen/Trans/Yulelide tonics, but trans tonics seem to be the main tonic people use for points anyway.
Its not a complete spam, there is a little lag to wait for loose magic to kick in, but since your getting 2 points it basically evens out. Of course you have to go to outside Divinity Coast and spend time getting to Zinn's camp, but it beats District/Guild Hopping.
Anyway, its an interesting little find, whether intentional or not. So if you got some stacks your too lazy to use the slow way in towns, head outside.
have fun

Very cool.
It's faster to rapidly click the tonics (Whichever one you're using) in Ascalon and use the portal to go to the Great Northern Wall. Then, rapidly click again (You can use two tonics per town), walk back through to Ascalon.
Isn't too tedious and you're not limited by the type of tonics you can use, though if all you've got are explorable-usable ones, your method is faster.
Nice tip.

Trader of Secrets
well looks like these tonics are now worth spammable pt value

When I had a lot of tonics to use I just phased in and out of my guild hall. faster then porting in and out of town doors as there is no running. Click tonic, hit guild hall, click tonic, hit leave guild hall, rinse and repeat.

Aint there a chance you could get banned tho beacause GW's bot detector is a bit lame it could think hang on a tick there spamming them they must be a bot
BAN BAN .
Unless you mean run around a bit then spam a stack do the same?
Just a thought so don't shoot me down .

Could do with an area like that for drinking
Zinns field of magical sobriety perhaps
Get a bit crowded of course with everyone in the game living there.

ANet really isn't just a big ban monster roaming around eating people spamming tonics.

You have no idea that i was constantly clicking in out of guild hall with arrorw on tonic and windowed next to the guild hall button for a good hour last month. I've always known you can be quick enough to get atleast 2 tonics. Must be to do with how quick the game can update and does this check on whether your tonic condition is set.

Just when I thought it couldn't get any more fun. If drinking tonics and eating sweets wasn't fun enough now you can SPAM it! Obaby!

Is this legal? I mean, I don't see why it shouldn't be, but I wouldn't want to risk my account for something like this.
Miss Puddles
I don't see why it wouldn't be. It'd be the same idea as spammable sugar or party points, if you're referring to being caught up in a bot ban. As long as you're not using a bot to click, of course.
If you're referring to using the environmental effect for (albeit very minimally) nefarious purposes, even then I'd have a hard time getting on the exploitation bandwagon.

i just maxed party animal and i used this for the last 5000 points it is much quicker than jumping portals because u do spam tonics and if anet does not want us doing it im sure there will be an update to fix it
BenjZee

Banning for spamming tonics....may as well ban for spamming ghosts or snowmen.
Get a clue, people. I'm sure they introduced that effect for a reason. Probably THIS reason.

If you could spam pumpkin cookies, now that would be something.

Wasn't actually that bad, but it wasn't the most fun I've ever had either.

Awesome. I might take advantage of this. Thanks!

An even better way to use cookies, and possibly more entertaining, is to run around joining pugs for hard stuff. Run fun builds, let them run theirs, and just see what you can do. Good way to make friends, and if you don't rage on the bad players, you can probably help them out by giving them tips on their builds and strategies.

Also, while on the topic of spamming consumables, I found eating two rainbow candy canes, then one peppermint to be the most efficient way of using candy canes for sweet points (you'll get four sweet points per death).
Adding to this: Equipping a small healing skill to a FoMF Rezmer is helpful for when his/her hp hits 1. Recuperation lasts a fair amount of time at 12 resto and requires little effort on your part.

Nice bumped up my party titel by a bit
