@Ara, did I tell you an official congrats on your Mino base yet? If not, congratulations!!
And way to go on getting those train charms ready.
Hopefully that will be enough.
As to the rest of your list, prioritize, and then check them off one at a time. If you only halfway set up, you're less likely to get it done around Easter time. (You know this, I'm sure.) And one thing to take into consideration when you're prioritizing, which locations do you not mind avoiding for the next six months?
And how long does it take for you to get into location?
If I were you, I'd knock out Fort Rox now. Unless you're wanting to participate in future Relic Hunter treasure maps, that's a completely useless area. Then I'd move onto the FRift. Unless you want/need the MYNOCRA trap, that's another area that can easily sit on the sidelines.
Warpath prep can be done along with the maps, so I wouldn't set up for the Warmonger egg until after you have the portal. Speaking of which, if have some gold burning in your pocket (I don't think any of us do right now, but just in case), the portal pieces are not that outrageous on the Marketplace right now. Setting up for the Artillery Commander and Warmonger are the same requirements.
So that leaves the Laby, BWRift, and MP. BWRift and MP area cake walks. They do not take a lot of time to get all the way through. As Easter gets closer, what I plan to do is stop right before I get the boss mice (Maxed out Rain and Wind, some spare Fuel, plenty of Dragonvine, Arcanevine, and Shadowvine cheeses) and then work my way backwards. I sure hope they don't have a Dragoon mouse, he will be the hardest.
Same deal in the BWRift. I'm planning on setting up at the beginning of an Acolyte portal. Between that portal and the following Gearworks, almost all of the mice are encountered. Neither area will take that long to prep for. Easter should be easy for me this year.
No idea what to expect for the new (if any) Mountain mice. I believe that area will get an update in November, but the new areas are pretty short, sweet, and to the point, so I'm not too worried about those eggs.
Anyways, I'm off topic with the Mountain
Going back to the Labyrinth. In my humble opinion, I think it is MUCH harder getting into a Treasury Hallway than it is getting the Minotaur so that's what I'd set up for, but that's just me. Figure out which one is more difficult for you and then set up for that. I'm going to ask though, are you willing to lock yourself out of the area and forgo all of those traps for six months? Because in the event you farm a few Minos between now and then and get lucky and get a trap to drop, that will speed up future Laby runs even more. Just something to think about.
No real FBF today to speak of. Dave is still on vacation and Jacob wasn't feeling well, though he did just chat for about an hour or so. It was interesting to listen to off and on.
One of the more interesting topics that came up was how to help new members get through content quickly to catch up playing with their high level friends, but not at the expense of skipping the whole game. Kind of interesting to think about. I mean, you wouldn't want to speed it up too much because you have the low level areas that only take a month or two to get through, and now there's the labyrinth which has been out for over two years now (what?????) and I'm the only one completely done with it out of this group.
I can't imagine Rya and Gazer starting up and being faced with an area that takes two years to complete.
(Good luck Rya and Gazer
)
@Gymmie, I don't think I told you congrats on your trap yet. Nicely done!
The end is in sight for me in the BWRift, so I'm putting all of my focus into there right now. I only need five more Acolytes at most, and if one drops a rune at any time, then I'm done. Getting the Timesplit Dissonance Weapon and then 90% of my focus will be on Moussu Picchu with the remaining 10% on the Warpath and Relic Hunter maps.
