Guise camp: go to bed

[douglas1999]

Guise list is definitely punishing to casuals I agree, because unlike manastone and rubi BP it's no drop so you can never get one later on no matter how much plat you save. However, guise is also arguably the easiest of the list camps, and if you do it in your mid 30's-early 40s you at least make a bit of XP for your trouble and also can maybe win a TBB. I'd say I'm somewhere between casual and neckbeard; I did get myself a rubi BP but I absolutely refuse to camp a manastone. Guise was the first one I did because of the aformentioned no-drop status.

I'm finally high enough level to /list for Guise. I don't know if this is a representative experience, but...

It's currently been about 20 hours since the last Guise dropped. The current #1 has been at the camp for around 38 hours. I myself joined about 10 hours ago and have moved from position 11 to position 9 in that time. Hopefully just bad luck!

Well that was kind of funny. A few minutes after my post, a Guise dropped! Drought over. Position 8 now.

#1 @ Rubi BP was there ~38 hours this week.

If you only notice the times it takes forever to drop, its easy to forget about those other times like 9 guises drop in a day, or 4 rubi bps, or whatever. RNG gonna RNG but I still think the /list system is the best possible antidote to the sociopathic neckbearding that would be happening without it.

Should never take 20 hours for a guise to drop though.

I've camped gynok in befallen sooo many times. Like 8 times on green alone cause its an easy camp to farm while you're mostly afk at work or whatever. Sometimes it's taken like 17 hours, other times only a couple hours, and once I literally had a 2nd gynok spawn directly after the guy before me got his.

How the hell are you guys staying awake for more than 35 hours on a /list?

I feel like we're breaking some world records for people staying awake here.

Probably account sharing or crack/speed addicts <shrugs>

Well, that was quite a ride. I added myself to the list sort of on a whim, but learned the hard way that the longer you go, the tighter the grip gets. After a certain point, you no longer consider turning back because you've already sunk so much cost in that you'd have to repay if you started over. I don't know how I'm still functioning after a 30 hour camp, but it was a fun group of people over the hours. I'm also now kind of questioning what I'm doing with my life, but I guess at least I got a DE mask...

Good luck to anyone else that tries - I hope you don't have multiple ~10 hour droughts like we did (bold annotations added by me):
