After doing SD for a while, it's almost as if you're not even doing it. Like, it's almost as if you've turned yourself into a bot and you can almost completely focus on something else (t.v, book, etc) and still manage to get sub 2-min times each time lmao.

Darn too bad for me doing anymore will make me want to vomit:S

I'm vanquishing The Jade Sea atm with two characters for whom I'm working on Elite Luxon armor.

That I happen to be racking up the Wintersday items is coincidental, and I'll delight in selling everything off after the event's over.

A stack a day or 30 stacks of presents for a nice screenshot memento, whichever comes first. Looking forward to maxing at least party, possibly all three woohoo.

I'm going to max my Vanguard title on my ranger, and see where that gets me item-wise for the 3 consumption titles. My warrior is at 5K drunkard points, 3K party, and 2K sweet tooth, so I'll need a miracle to max any of those this weekend.

I've not done SD for two whole days and I've actually gone out of the house. The world looks so pretty.

My goal for SD is to get enough money from it to fill my HoM entirely cash-wise. I've done over 1000 runs of it for 33 hours total. It's definitely getting very boring but the money you get from it makes it too hard to pass up.

If I have the patience to get more than a stack or two of gifts, it'll be a miracle.

I get so bored with farming.

Yeh, I can't see myself getting more than a couple of stacks...So boring and so many people doing it. Kinda got all farmed out for ToT Stacks back in Halloween...At least with that there were ecto/ruby/sapphire etc drop chances.

Rainbow is actually useful to boost heroes/henchmen. I'm spamming the other ones for my title (bip/ua) but keeping the rainbow.

I had four stacks of wintersday gifts in my backpack, all in a row.

I started tearing into them, clickclickclickclickclickclickclickclick.

Then I realized... I use an expensive performance gaming mouse, and I'm being borderline abusive with its left button!

So, I grabbed my cheap backup mouse and started racking up the 2000+ speed clicks with it instead.

True but I meant actually useful in battle, not particularly useful for sweet title (non-spammable). For example, I just did Duncan HM (zbounty) with heroes and we wiped about 6 times. Peppermint and Green Candies aren't nearly as useful as Rainbow Candies in that situation with heroes.

My Razer allows the scrollwheel to be reassigned to click or double-click. Zooming through stacks

Just had a quick glance at the DA drivers and they appear so similar to the Imperator drivers (which I am using) that I think it should be possible. Pretty annoyed I didn't think of this, I assigned quad-click to one of the macro keys on my keyboard and rapidly pressed that, I think scrolling might have been faster and more fun.

..or you can just make an AHK script to loop clicks when you hold down a button

Edit : Nevermind, don't follow this D:

Relevant info for you: bannable. (specifically post #10 in that thread is about AHK with a loop script).

Best strategy is Necro + Ranger. Necro runs into enemy pack and uses Holiday Blues + Ice Fort, Ranger runs up and cleans them out by spamming Flurry of Ice.

See http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Snowball_Dominance for more information.

Nice strategy. I especially like how you didn't use an ele.

If you want to use an ele just take a nec hero with you. Use the Holiday Blues + Ice Fort strategy. It'll be slower than using a ranger but you still can average 1-2+ min runs.

decided to get my sin some elite armor....so am working on getting that 26k faction (had to get her TO eye first---)....and using newly acquired nf heroes--great way to level them up....not sure what character will use the tonics, but am sure I can get another character to life of the party at sometime.
No I am not doing it fast, but only want the 26k. (should be done by friday).

update---finished my 26k and still have my survivor mule intact (and all her nf heroes are level 20 now...including jin who helped me throw countless snowballs)

Most people are buying stacks of gifts for 25k and if you open them and sell what is inside you get 50k. Its definitely worth it to open and sell...you could even buy stacks and sell what is inside which is what I have done a little bit of but remember that some things are hard to sell like canes and ale so you may not want to do too much of that.

my new goal is about another 150e or so(after i finish this set of 150e which i can if i stay concetrated today)

i should have that done by the end of the event at the latest. if i get that done early might go for more.. make saving up for the el tonic i want even easier

(thank you SD... only time in the year i have more money then i do all the rest of the year combined)

Darn i remapped scroll as click through the deathadder driver and was zooming through presents then for the first time ever i got the blue screen of death! I have never ever had this happen in guild wars or since i got my computer. Any ideas on what caused this?

I'm amazed price didn't drop much considering the tons of abusive farms that were done. If such things really happened , tonics would be worth like 2-3gold/each...
Anyway , quest was fun to do , i did a few stacks , but i still believe it's rewarding too much and too easy to do.

because it is insane to repeat a perfectly unchallenging task 1000 times and the ability to become a dumb drone is a rare talent I guess.
