I don't envy you running multiple alts through the events. I only work
on my main. For the Chinese New Year event, I had all the
achievements, so all I had to do was get the elders in the new zones,
and enough extra to get the pet.
I was surprised that I didn't need to do the questline to get the
mount daily for Valentines (Big Red Rocket), and it seems no harder
than last year, which means that any pug now completes it in a minute
or so, with no strategy involved.
I didn't realize there was another mount and a pet; I'll have to grind
those too (again, I already have all the achievements). How much dps
do you need to get into the useful parts of HoS? I might try that, but
my dps is kind of pitiful.
I'm probably going to max out DM rep this week. What is there useful
to do with the tickets?
