*prays for the bug to remain until after next Winterday*

Maybe if we demand that ANet fix the bug, it will remain longer...

Would it be faster if you:

Drank spiked eggnog

Zoned to your Guild hall

Drank Spiked eggnog

Zoned out of Guild hall

*rinse and repeat*

Would this work?

It was said earlier that it takes 5 ales to get 3 minutes of drunken stupor.

So if you've drunk 110 so far that would be (110/5)*3=66 minutes...

The best you can manage is 1002 Ales for 1000 minutes. 2 Ales to get you started, then everyone after that gives 1 minute drunk.

The zoning bug is where you drink a lot, then leave an Outpost (such as walking out of Ascalon City into Old Ascalon) and the time that you would've gained from drinking is instantly added to your total. So 5 Ales, walk outside, you get 3 minutes. Drink another 5, walk back in, another 3 minutes. The only problem is if you using Ales to do this its damn expensive!

I'd like to know this aswell, if that isn't the case, how then?

*edit, I just tried with 28 Spiked Eggnogs, I'm drunk now for 30 mins. I just drunk my last one and I'm standing in my GH for a couple of mins and it's 32. So... every spiked eggnog should count for 3 mins? That's not right?

You sure you using spiked eggnogs and not eggnogs? Pretty sure you're sure, but I had to ask! :P

So I guess it doesn't work since the replies on the first page said 3 minutes=1 spiked eggnog. So your 28 should have equaled=84 minutes.

Doh

I'm sure you mean 2000+ hours, as 33 hours isn't really very long

As asked above, is it possible to drink 1002 ales and just go AFK for 1K minutes?

If you drink 100 at once, you'll get super drunk but its the same ammount of time as drinking 3-4. I learned this the hard way.

how-to for the zoning bug.



drink 1 spiked eggnog. press g. click "Guild Hall" and u'll zone there.
u just earned 3 minutes towards your title. drink another spiked eggnog, press g. click "Leave Guild Hall". u're back in the city u were before and u just added 3 more minutes to your title. do this as long as u want.

u can do this with ales too, but u need to drink 5 ales everytime.
so it's drink 5 ales, press g etc.....


warning: it seems to be an anti macro code here. after 5-6 times u keep drinking and zoning the trick sense this as a bot activity and u stop earning minutes.
what u need to do is to split your eggnogs/ales in different stacks and alternate the stack u drink from.
ex: drink from stack1, zone, drink from stack2, zone, drink from stack 3, zone, drink from stack1... an loop forever

5 hours is 10k minutes if u have enough ales/eggnogs

Nice work dude, if you have the 2 Explorer and 2 Protector titles you may be one of the first (if not first) to be Kind of a Big Deal
I've seen a Kind of a big deal already.

Treasure Hunter, Drunkard, some rank title, Tyrian Carthograph, Protector of Tyria.

O_O

You need 5 MAX titles. In which case that person would have:

Master Treasure Hunter - 5000 high end chests
Incorrigible Ale-Hound - 10,000 minutes drunk
Emperor's Hero - Rank 13, 36,000 fame
Tyrian Grandmaster Cartographer
Protector of Tyria

Congrats to that person. Have a snapshot?

Could you explain what happened to my spiked eggnogs then? It is the 'stack' thing?

Yeah I think one of the closest ones to r13 what I've seen is 29k~ fame. If I'm not totally wrong, some Korean player had it. I'm guessing it was Sama or some player from his group.

Sama has had R12 for a quite a long time already so he might not lie about fame.

Not 100% sure about this, but it's very possible. If anyone plays with him can you check please ...

Ok, I managed to claim 15 Spiked Eggnogs and decided to try. In LA, drank one @ 67 mins. Zoned to the GH, 68. Zoned to Kaineng and walked out of the portal, 69. Zoned back to the GH, 70.

So when you zone, it only adds up 1 minute. Drink another one and you lose the 2 mins.

*edit, Weirdness ftw. Drink a Spiked Eggnog in LA, zone to DF + 3 mins. Drink one there zone to Port Slegde + 3 mins. Drink one there zone to Iron Mines of Moladune, not + 3 mins. But it will add a minute each minute. Zone back to LA, drink one there, zone to DF + 3 mins. Weirdness.

Been as there is no max for Rank, it won't count. And also do you seriously think that ANYONE on this game has had time to Chest Run 5000 chests (now believed to be 10000 max), drank 10000 minutes worth of booze/zoned alot and explored everything?

Why will no-one sell Spiked Eggnog!!!!!!? I want some

333 spiked eggnogs. And the cost is up to you.

But you've got to bear in mind that getting the Spiked Eggnogs will cost more time than drinking them. My god they're hard to find.

That's how I'm doing it, but I'm trying to get Drunkard. I have a Rurik to pay for the Alchy if I need it, but I usually just use Faction. Amber turns some good coin.

BTW, does anyone know where I can find the different alcohols in the game, and what's great about each one?

Wow, why is this such a hot topic? "Hey guys, I drank a buttload of ales, and was drunk for thousands of minutes." instantly gets over 2500 views and close to/maybe over 100 posts. lol, then I go post a suggestion in Sardelac, and 7 people look at it, but say nothing.... weird. Maybe I should make suggestions like "Free Beer!" or "More alcohol in the game Anet!", instantly get it put in the game from all the attention it would get. GW must be getting really boring. Either that, or there's a lot of drunks out there that like this idea.

So, you got the drunkard/encorrigible ale hound title... congrats! what now? Guess you won't have to look at a blurry screen anymore. lol

This is a hot topic because the OP found a way to get the highest drinking title "on the cheap" and without having to assault his eyes with endless blurryness. That's hot news for those who want "Kind of a Big Deal".

I did sorta know about the zoning bug before this appeared anyway. When i was running round in circles in Beacons Pearch drinking i ran outside by mistake

Think i'll change my location to 'WTB Spiked Eggnong'...
