	So I splurged 25 TP and bought a Party Punch pot. Wanted to test it to see if the 5% party favor drop rate could be played with. Drank a major slayer pot and headed out to GH. I was hoping that getting 3 kills for every kill might triple the drop rate. So I got credit for 390 kills; actually only killed 130 but the slayer added 200%. Got 2 party favors. Yeah, I'm thinking the slayer pot isn't viable.

Even if its only counting the actual kills(which I suspect it is) that is still a MISERABLE drope rate. That's barely 1%. Then again thats in line with SSG: drop rates are usually about 1/5th of advertised.

	I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

Were you in a party with other people killing enemies too? You only get a shot at a party favor if you land the killing blow personally. If you happen to have 5 alt accounts at level 20+, then epic orchard on an AoE caster would be a quick way to rack up potions. That’s the only wilderness that would be worth doing IMO.

	So I drank a punch and just ran he PoP and Madstone to brainlessly level a bit. Ran at level 16, got 28 favors, this was with extra killing that wasn't needed for completion. Completely solo no hire in quest. Make of it what you will.

	I started a s/sheet but gave up after the first quest:- Quest Diff Kills Favors Drop Rate Trackers Trap HE 162 10 6.17% 5% drop rate seems legit

	I drank some and did a couple runs of the anniversary event - double dipping, as it were. Didn't end up netting that much extra but for 25tps it'll help some.

	I bought 5 punch and run basic quests. My reward was 270 favors for the kobold gem. For me that was a good gem/buy.

	Has it got the same level check on it that other similar stuff has? Or can I take a L30 caster somewhere and blow up little baby mobs?

	Supposedly you can take a lvl 30 into butcher's path and autorun it.

	Yeah 25 points is a great price. Excellent for the event as well considering you can grind out sentient gems if you set up right. This plus the vip and game 15% xp at kickoff were really done right.
