Celebrate Halloween in Vindictus with Free Boat Ride Events!

  Greetings Mercenaries-
  
  To celebrate the Halloween and the final weekend of our Fall Fear Festival, we are excited to announce 2 Free Boat Ride Events!
  
  Perhaps a ghostly rowman has taken control of the Colhen Docks, perhaps the boat owners are feeling generous, perhaps the creepy costumes and face tattoos of the mercenaries have intimidated the toll collectors... whatever the reason, for one hour each night, all boat rides will be FREE!
  
  The Free Boat Ride Event schedule is:
  8:00 PM - 9:00 PM Pacific, Saturday, October 30 (11:00 PM - 12:00 AM Eastern)
  8:00 PM - 9:00 PM Pacific, Sunday, October 31 (11:00 PM - 12:00 AM Eastern)
  
  We hope you enjoy this treat!
  
  Happy Halloween!
  
  -the Vindictus Team-

  1 hour is barely worth it too.
  That's 6 runs (unless you have a 6 minute Bear speedrun group, which is 10 runs optimal).

  Do 2 minute White Tyrant runs. With ~1 minute for reward screen and boat preparation, it's possible to squeeze in 20 runs

  6 minute?? lol...
  
  I got 7+ runs in 30 minutes and that was slow.
  
  I'd say with an hour I could probably get 15-18 in there...

  That was more applied to standard people. Sure you could do 1-2 minute runs. But you'd need to have an organized party, not too much lag, and hundreds of spears stacked up. Most people won't be able to fire off runs that quickly.

  Honestly... 4 minute runs? Everyone can do that. And you don't need "hundreds of spears." wtf? You use like 5 per game. You wouldn't even just barely use 100. And it's not like 100 are expensive, it's like what, 10k for 100? lol
  
  You're making it way harder than it really is...
  
  On my Fiona I with a bunch of Lanns & Hammer Fionas I can get 1-2 min runs, but with my Evie and several other Evies... it's 3.5-4min runs.

  That was partially a grouped response to Ruquion as well. I'm saying you'd need to stockpile a ton as to avoid wasting more time between runs (yes the time it takes isn't that long, but if you were to be constantly pumping out 1-2 minute runs, 10 seconds or so for everyone suddenly seems much longer).
  
  Though to be honest, I have never bothered to grind AP from the bear (only at 8.8k total), so I'm probably underestimating how efficient a group of 6 people are when it comes to farming. But from my limited runs, I just found that there's always one thing that takes up time (such as someone not F12ing in the first area, leaving before the next run, waiting for a 6th, lag).
  
  Random side note - I tend to see people use 14 spears a run (Normal, Hard doesn't really grant anything of use), and most people don't carry more than 1 stack. In that case, people run out in about 7 runs.
