What are Lunar Tokens used for?
Trade 3 into a Lunar Fortune Giver for a Lunar Fortune.

Trade 5 into a Lunar Gift Keeper for a Red Gift Bag.

What will these get me?

Lunar Fortune
Lunar Blessing: All of your attributes are boosted by 1 while in this area.
Spiritual Possession: Visual Effects only. Turn off your Post processing Effects and you won't be disturbed by the effects.
Lucky Aura: No proven effect, but some believe it will increase chances to retain a lockpick and/or give a higher rate of gold drops.
100g
Champagne Popper
Bottle Rocket
Sparkler
Mini Celestial Rabit (2011 only)

Red Gift Bag
Bottle of Rice Wine
Red Bean Cake
Sugary Blue Drink
Champagne Popper (3)
Sparkler (3)
Bottle Rocket (3)
Lunar Token (10)
100g

What's the best way to farm these tokens?
  1. You could farm monsters (not recommended at all)
  2. You could play /rock, /paper, /scissors with Lucky Hochei and waste all day
  3. Recommended: You could farm the token quests out of Shing Jea Monastery

What is the quest chain?

Just My Luck - Given by Hapless Chong in Sunqua Vale
Fire in the Sky- Given by Coordinator Tahyaa in Shing Jea Monastery - Requirement: 10 dust
The Big Bang- Given by Coordinator Tahyaa after Fire in the Sky.
The Knights Who Say Nian- Given by Johai Sohn in Shing Jea Monastery
Hopeless Romantic- Given by Hai Len in Shing Jea Monastery

It is possible to farm this quest chain for the event by creating a character, doing the quest chain, and deleting the character to start over. Below is the best way to do this. In past events, I've done this exact method and completed the process in 15 minutes on average. NOTE: The requirement to do these quests is to be level 5. I will explain the quickest way to do this later.

  • Start by completing all the quests on any character that you already have above level 5 that has access to Shing Jea Monastary.
  • Once all characters have been completed, create a Factions Monk. Monk is important!
  • Grab all of the quests you can from the main group of Headmasters.
  • Complete the quest that Ludo offers (Forming A Party) by adding Henchmen to your party and stepping out into Sunqua Vale
  • Complete the Primary Monk quest and talk to all other NPC's in Sunqua Vale that offer the rewards from the quests that the Headmasters gave. You should be at or very close to lvl 5 at this point
  • Begin the Canthan New Year quests and re-roll your characters as many times as you wish.

In order to complete these quests easily, it is recommended to pair up with a lvl 20 that hasn't done the quest chain. These quests can easily be solo'd by a competent player. If no lvl 20 is willing to farm the quest chain for you, and you are unable to dual account this process, people offer to run these quests for a fee (usually a portion of the Lunar Tokens that you get). Be careful not to overpay because these quests are very easy.

How many Lunar Tokens will each quest chain net?
A Single round will get you 125 Lunar Tokens per quest chain, per character.

Sign-ups for runners
If you're interested in helping guildies through this, or are capable of running multiple accounts, sign up here if you can/want to run these quests. We should be able to pair up several people together to farm as many of these as we can.

As always, Have FUN!

I have multiple accounts and plan on running this pretty much all weekend. I'll have room for 1 or 2 to tag along, depending on how many are interested.

I'd like to strike a deal.
Basically, I can run 3 people through all the quests on 6 characters, and would very much appreciate if somebody could help me out a little with the same kinda thing.

As you need dust for one quest, and people will probably drive merchant up. Figured I'd post this guide to farming. I take no credit for this build, it's from The Ultimate Guide to Farming Consets

I suppose you could always cash out by selling dust too Razz

Quote:
Farming DUST

This material is one of my favorites to farm because it usually drops in stacks of 30. You will be killing Fog Nightmares outside of Temple of Ages. I know there are a staggering amount of builds out there for the fogs but this is the one I think is the swiftest.

The build is E/mo (slash slash )

Template = OgNDoMrPOg1hIv4WUWpF4C6B

Skills
1. Glyph of Restoration
2. Double Dragon
3. Flame Burst
4. Inferno
5. Flame Djinns Haste
6. Aura of Restoration
7. Fire Attunement
8. Life Attunement

Stats
Fire 16
Energy Storage 11
Protection Prayers 8

Exit TOA and head east towards the Cursed Lands zone. Once you get to the rez shrine there head south and kill all the fogs along the way. Follow the map in the video below. Remember to die and rezone so you can do multiple runs.

Killing - Precast 6, 7, 8 obviously and right before aggro cast glyph of resto. Aggro and wait for them to bunch up then cast 2, 3, 4, 5 and pick up loot.

How it works - Fogs are basically sacrificial spike builds so you use glyph of restoration to give yourself a counter spike of health (200+ for each spell) and do massive damage at the same time.

Fastest Dust Farm
Remember to salvage those remnants
