Ruari just unlocked zone 2, did other servers get it around the same time as now?

Man, I don't know if I can do this event. Spamming the same dungeon 60 times a day is boring the shit out of me.

I decided to try a more lenient approach, and just mix things up. Run one or two every now and again. Especially now that a new zone is open and I can run harder dungeons! Then i go off to do dailies or train a skill or something.

works like a charm.

I watch anime in Japanese so if I look away from the screen I won't know what's going on. xD

Also, seeing as I only care about the titles I need 440 tickets from the various zones. So if I do 20 dungeons a day I should have enough in 3 weeks, which is plenty of time.

I've been told you fight Heathcliff near the end of this event?

Actually, if you wait until zone 5 comes out you'd only need 185 runs, 120 of them being for the cheapest-costing ALO titles.

To shorten the amount of work you would have to do post-zone 5, you could instead do 30 zone 3 runs (SAO Silica), 60 zone 4 runs (SAO Pina), and instead save Klein for zone 5, bringing the amount of zone 5 runs up to 135.

So, 185 if you hold off until the last zone, or 225 if you balance out doing less runs with not having to do everything at the last minute. Then again, it takes about 2 minutes to run Klein Math Zone 1, and I've no idea how long it'll take to clear any zone 5s.

Based on the difference in difficulty between zone 1 and zone 2, I'm imagining Zone 3-4 would probably be my limit, because I'm imagining Zone 5 will be like, Adv HM level difficulty. But I may be wrong. Then again I've been running Peaca so maybe Zone 5 Alby will still be easy. Lol.

I actually find zone 2 Math easier than Alby, just because it seems to go faster and you can in most cases easily avoid mobs and thus speedrun it.

So, just beat Heathcliff. Only got a Windmill combo piece, I'm not sure what I expected...

A prize that didn't suck, maybe?

According to my math I need to dungeon 5 hours a day for the next 9 days to get enough zone 5 tickets for all the titles. I've been doing Math, it's physically longer but the enemies are fewer and weaker, so I think the fast combat time makes up for all the walking. When I timed it I was getting about 15 minutes per run.

Hopefully I get a system card to cut down on the time, I have yet to see a single one the entire event. A single system access card would take me from 5 hours a day to 3 hours a day, so I guess I can see why they are rare, but that doesn't make it less annoying. Also the fact that all you get from the final boss is a combo card piece pisses me off.
