[quote=Zack Oak]Oh geez, same. I looked at my first set of horrible losses and decided "not even a little worth it." I am very glad that I reconsidered. Ironically enough, getting access to the half-abandoned mansion was more frustrating than getting to the highest distinction of Order Serpentine. But in the end, totally worth it. It’s arguably the most echo-profitable lodging (5 echo profit! 5!) and makes for a great achievement. And it helped me get to the higher distinctions!

Don’t tell anyone in-character, but the very first time I was actually kicked out for lack of Iron Tokens T.T
The Listing Tower was actually quite merciful with me - I got it on the second try, though mostly because I misclicked and attacked the last target twice. Interesting enough, when later I was rebuilding my Parade of Victories, my first attack (to the next contact on the list) was a failure, so if I hadn’t misclicked I could have lost at 6x Parade… A close call ^^
One thing I always wondered - shouldn’t the Listing Tower provide a Knife-and-Candle opening as well? I know policy is only for the higher level Lodgings to provide openings, but come on, it’s THE Knife-and-Candle Lodging! If you play the scraps option you find out that it’s chock full of people using it for ambushes, meaning that basically everyone can use it as a dueling ground except for the player character, the rightful owner XD
[quote=Gillsing][quote=Spacemarine9]Dropping out of the League if you snag a Mirrorbox is a pretty bad idea; you can still get Mirrorsnatched if you’re not a participant, and if you have no Form then you’re nearly defenceless.[/quote]So what you’re really saying is that it’s best to have a secret alt ready to snatch that mirrorbox from the main character? :/:
Whereupon dropping out of the League becomes a moot point.[/quote]
Either that, or going to zee and never coming back. Or even better, give it to an alt and then send IT at zee, so that even if he’s discovered he stays untargettable. Me, I’m happier without a Mirrorcatch Box altogether, especially because it was originally obtainable solving a riddle and I would find it very unfair to snatch it when I couldn’t solve the riddle in the first place. That’s the main reason I chose the Ovate Order - highest medal+ring give a total of +6 Baroque, not as much as a +10 but I can settle with that ^^
