Title: Not so much a bug as a good way to abuse a game mechanic
Post by: Newsman on October 14, 2011, 02:06:26 PM
When you make new accounts (even those free trial accounts), the new characters start with new player tickets.  One of the rewards you can get from the new player tickets are fireworks wands.  The fireworks wands are worth 10k clean up points.

It's not the best abuse of game mechanics but it could be profitable.

not the mini nova fireworks wands that you start off with, the fireworks wand you choose from the new player ticket. And yes, I just got 10k points testing it.

okay well maybe you should use your new player ticket rather than a gift ticket...

Way too much work, unless you missed the previous exploit and didn't get all the points you wanted.

Still, excellent abuse of intended function!

each account is essentially half a bless deed per shard. I think its worth doing 4 or so times for seed money on multiple shards.

Actually, does EN's character toolbox work for character creation yet?  That could make this pretty interesting...

It does create characters and walk them to the New Haven Inn.

yup its been working for character creation since day 1... :)   you can make as many chars as you want across as many shards as you care for ... even over multi-accounts if you so choose.

It's more of an abuse of a game mechanic.  Making multiple trial accounts allows you to get lots of new player tickets to redeem for fireworks wands which you can turn in for clean up points.  I don't think it's really practical but it might be for someone else.

No unforunetly that kept giving me alot of trouble so I've been doing it manually... It kept stoping or it would log into the second account make the character then sit in town and just stop.... I'd do one account it would make 3 characters then stop...

Just kept acting up unforunetly..

I wish I could cause believe me my hand has some serious carpel tunnel coming to it... lol

I'd just like to say how much I love this. Before I read this I was at 100k points (mostly from Miasma and champ spawns), now with a few hours of work, I'm at 2 million. Yes, it's boring, but 60k points in under 5 minutes is well worth it in my opinion! Thank you very much for posting!

Just to aid this, If you hit back after you create the trial account (instead of logging out etc) you dont need to use a different email,


To be a little more clear, Once you have entered your details and you get the "congratualtions your account ahs been set up" or whatever it is, Hit back in your browser, youll go back to the details page but will onl need to input the captcha the account name and the password

Dont need to have 1432423 hotmail accounts ;)
