The Currency Farm..

• All World events have their own unique currencies that can only be earned during the event. Carnival has 3 unique currencies ‘Carnival Prize Tickets’, ‘Glass Beads’ and ‘Auroral Doubloon’.
• Prize Tickets and Glass Beads can both be farmed until you have thousands of them. You can see guides for how to farm these two currencies on the Carnival Quests page.
• Auroral Doubloons are the limited currency. You can only earn a small amount of these during the event. For Carnival, you will earn 2 Doubloons a Week by completing the weekly quest, Clean House at the Carnival. With 3 weeklies available during the Carnival event, you will earn a total of 6 Doubloons per character.
• There are also 3 artifact sets to collect and hand in, this can only be done once per character, you won’t be able to complete them again next year. These artifact sets are detailed on the Carnival Cheevos page. Handing in these artifacts awards 4 Doubloons per set, 12 Doubloons total.

Shopping Priorities..

• World Events come with a world event store. This gives you unique items to buy with the currencies you earn that will ONLY be available while the event is running. If you don’t buy the things then you will need to wait another year until the event is running again.
• Your main priority will always be to get the Earrings for any character you want to eventually raid with. Even if you don’t plan to raid, the earrings are a huge stat boost that will help you with all types of monster killing. The two earrings that you need to buy are detailed in the shopping section of this guide under Gear. Buy the earrings for your class. Stash them in the bank if you are not level 70 yet.
• FLUFF! There is oodles of fluff available in the event store.. wardrobes, pets, mounts, transmorgs etc etc. Choose your very favourite fluff and aim to buy those.
• Make a list of all the things you want to buy, calculate the total cost of those items and then work out how many alts you will need to use to be able to buy those things.

Using Alts..

• So how are you going to buy 2 earrings when you only get 6 doubloons per event and they cost 5 doubloons each? You are going to have to use alts!
• Most players will ‘main’ a single character in game, and use alts for these kind of farming purposes.
• Your alt only needs to be level 15 to pick up the weekly quest and earn their own doubloons, getting to level 15 takes less than an hour, so you could have a full army of alts by the end of the event, each having earned their own Doubloons.
• Get your alt to level 10, then jump in IA til level 15 and then take the portal in Sanctum/Meridian to go to Tempest Bay and complete the weekly quests.
• You can then use this alt to buy any ‘bound on account’ item, including the earrings, minions, some of the mounts, some of the pets and ALL of the wardrobe. Send the bits you need on your main to your main.
• It is best to use alts for anything that is bound to account, if you want a particular item that is bind on pickup then you can use your main to buy this.
• Don’t forget to farm extra ‘copies’ of the 3 artifact sets and send these to your alts too!

Transferring currency..

• With your alts at level 15 and in Tempest Bay with Doubloons in their pockets, you will find that most items cost Doubloons + Glass Beads/Prize Tickets. You can transfer the Glass Beads/Prize Tickets currencies to your alts from your main. This is detailed below in the ‘Trade your Currency’ section below.
