["Festival Fireworks" Achievement - best way to do?]

Just adding to this old thread in case anyone else searches for a less painful way to do these fireworks achievements in future. I managed to do ~1k fireworks in like 25 minutes while watching videos, and you probably can too 🙂

The goal is to make it as quick and easy and brainless as possible to use a firework so you can repeat it endlessly. My suggestions are:

1. As DaFishBob says, set Ground Targeting to "fast" in your settings if using Draketrails
2. Map double-click to a keyboard hotkey (I used Blish HUD but I'm sure there are other things - and yes it's allowed so long as the hotkey performs only one action and you're not AFK)
3. Filter your inventory down to "firework" so that when you empty a stack the next one will move under your mouse cursor
4. Ideally get quickness (I used my Herald so I could keep it up indefinitely)
5. Place your cursor over the first stack of fireworks
6. Press the double-click hotkey to equip a firework and immediately press and release 1 to fire it
7. Repeat as soon as the yellow bar is full - with quickness this is less than a second
8. Get your achivements :)

Because you don't have to move the mouse you can just run through them without paying much attention to the game, and it should be a lot less physical strain than double-clicking 1500 times.

I'd love a wishlist for the gem store, so I could favourite things when they pop up and be notified next time they're on sale or discounted.

 

(I'm sure this has been requested before but I just want to +1 it)

I must say it's a lot less frustrating once you can regularly make it to the pink platforms (much less waiting), but the hour or so spent figuring out the first section was awful

[is the wait time on the clock tower jp for real?]

this is my first halloween, and I'm usually a big fan of jumping puzzles and festivals, but the wait between attempts is honestly putting me off the whole thing.

this isn't a comment about the puzzle or its difficulty, the problem is that I don't actually get to play the puzzle for two thirds of the time I'm in this map. a tricky jump in a puzzle is fine, who doesn't love a challenge, but not when you only get one attempt at it every 2 minutes. it's not even like I can stop paying attention and do something else while I wait, because you have to constantly keep one eye on the timer.

i won't suggest a specific solution, but I feel like the design of this is extremely disrespectful of my time as a player. maybe some people are okay with the wait, but as someone who likes to make the most of the time I have for GW this is not it. i can appreciate reworking old festival content probably isn't a high priority for the team, but it seems a shame for a potentially great puzzle to be locked behind mind-numbing wait times.
