Upvote for this video, made me make it within 20 tolls as well, also thanks to the explaining about the rotating boosters.Denverrunner wrote:Sternish shared this video with me. I found it to be easier than the ones already posted here.

And yes, don´t think I will ever ever do this race again.
Re: Race Minizep is now available
I *want* to say I'll never do this again but there's going to be 2 more mount options released the next 2 months, and I want as many of the achieves as possible, so...
Yeah, I'll be back.![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif)

Re: Race Minizep is now available
Most of the rewards is fairly forgettable, but the Darkmoon Cannon from golding the real big race with the powermonger is worth trying for. It assembles a rocket, giving unstoppable flight for 1 min, 30 min cd.Peanutty wrote:I *want* to say I'll never do this again but there's going to be 2 more mount options released the next 2 months, and I want as many of the achieves as possible, so...

True, but as a pet/mount/toy/tabard/transmog/everything collector, they're pretty much forcing me to torture myself to fill in my collection.Luciandk wrote:Most of the rewards is fairly forgettable, but the Darkmoon Cannon from golding the real big race with the powermonger is worth trying for.

The worst type of torture is self inflicted torture.Peanutty wrote:

Re: Race Minizep is now available
I got it beat in 17 clicks (or whatever those are called)
My tip is to not let it intimidate you, at first I was all nervous because I really wanted the new pet and I stressed over it, but finally I settled in and played the course and let myself make mistakes and discover what works and what doesn't all while the timer ran. After I saw where the shortcuts were and what powerups to use I was able to beat it easily and realize it's much easier than it looks.
And I also got shot and slowed down by one of those zeps and triggerd a slow trap, I probably could have beat it in 15 clicks if I didn't do that.
Good luck!

Re: Race Minizep is now available
Hiya
I agree with the last post... I am very poor at games like this and it took me 50+ tries but I finally earned it.
YouTube videos help a lot
Good luck all

Re: Race Minizep is now available
I think I remember reading that this will be nerfed in subsequent months to be easier to achieve.
Is this true??

I'm right there with you. FINALLY got it done but again? Noooo thanks!Denverrunner wrote:I absolutely agree.Voskres wrote:I never, ever, EVER... evrevrevrever, ever, want to run that again.
Re: Race Minizep is now available
I've done the race a few times (too many actually). Each Toll is about 7 seconds and it ticks over to the start of the next Toll at each Post. Arriving at a Post a millisecond after a Toll ticks over is like getting penalized 1 Toll.
The Rotating Powerups that changes between rocket, spring and teleporter have 12 seconds cycles. Using a timer lets you know when to start the race so that when you arrive at a Rotating Powerup, it will have the correct Powerup.
In this video, a timer made it possible to do three consecutive 16 Tolls runs:

Nice if there was a 16 Tolls Big Rocketeer: Platinum achievement with a Rocketeer Jr as a reward.

Re: Race Minizep is now available
Today is the day I have time to visit the fair. I hope luck is nice to me, I don't want to wait another month or more ![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif)
Thanks for the tips and videos everyone, I'm sure they'll help!
Edit: Finally got it after several bad timing starts... first finished race was 22 tolls, 2nd race was 18! If I can do it anyone can, keep trying!

Re: Race Minizep is now available
One more vote for watching the video first, I never would have figured out how to do it in time myself.
One more vote for feeling annoyed that you have to skip such a huge part of the race in order to finish in time.
One more vote for never ever doing that again... until they add another pet of course.

Re: Race Minizep is now available
This event is just not fun. At all. ![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif)
A bit frustrated right now, will try again a bit later on, and hopefully will manage to get the pet before the Faire goes away for the rest of the month...
*Edit* Came back an hour later, finally did it after about 30 tries. Definitely still not fun - too much luck involved. The only tries where I came close (and the one where I finally did it) were when the powerup outside the rabbit cave was waiting on rocket when I got there. Any waiting, or missing it, and you might as well run back and restart.![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif)
Made it more stressful on myself by leaving it until the last day of the faire, but at least I have it now. Good luck to anyone still trying!![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)

Re: Race Minizep is now available
omg after about 50 attempts, I watched the video with the tip about setting a timer for the rockets, that made all the difference, got it first try!
