    Dear Mates,

    the reason to post this that I have 4 level 50 characters and I realized during the current minievent that if I would like to complete with all 4 characters, I have to play more than a day in the 2 days minievent. My family hates me during such an event as I have no time for them, I know it is not mandantory to play but why we don't have an event mentor bonus???????????
    Practically it should work like that. If you finish an event with one character in the account, the mentor bonus should work from that point for that particular event. It would mean you get 3times more event progress on the drops etc.
    There are also achivements which push you to level up 4 lvl 50 characters and if you also play with them, how can you complete 4 minievents in 2 days???
    please send my request towards the development

    Or, you aren't supposed to complete the mini event four times two days. Instead, you need to pick the toon you care about and work on that one because it isn't possible otherwise.

    This isn't to say I don't like the idea but not for the same reason as you.

    Personally I don't like the idea, if it was a feature for only level 50 characters in the same account might as well be interesting, but having a level 50 and 3 level 30ish might lead to a huge abuse from the twinks in the same accounts, or, having a low level toon actually makes the events far easier sometimes, like the viscanium one, it was average difficulty for my main, and a walk in the park for my little under-developed toons, the key here is "under-developed", they're just less than average toons, which I play on my free time and they have it easy on some events that are mildly challenging for my main toon, so I could speed run any event using a mentor bonus despite if my toons are prepared for it or not, and I'm just an average player, so my answer for this will be a no no, just my opinion.

    yes the benedit should only be valid for level 50 characters or perhaps above 40/45 but defenately not for low level characters. If you guys agree please forward to dev-team

    Later toons already benefit from the time spent on the first toon. After all, no need to ride the learning curve on how the game runs.
    Double benefits would lead to problems, amply discussed by others.

    If I have 4 toons please explain me how to complete a minievent which takes 2,5 days and need 1 day / toon.
    Again my suggestion is to COMPLETE the minievent with one of the toons , for ex 2700 progress WITHOUT BONUS.
    If the current event completed the rest of the toons could do with advantage

    A laundry list of solutions would include hundreds of specific, possible solutions to your dilemma. There no space or time for that much detailed coaching. So. . . Several routes will get you there. Start by challenging your assumptions.

    Consider these methods:
    1. Obsession. BigPoint programmers play against the players, and they control the game, the propaganda, and see what cards everyone is holding. Their lock on the game seems idiot-proof, but a dedicated idiot is very resourceful, and will find a way. Strategy and tactics include everything, especially exploits and bugs. The rich and the desperate throw money at it.
    2. Guilds and networking. Nurture the ones that know what you don't, do what you can't. Voice chat makes things a lot faster and more efficient. Check out everything in the Forum and Wiki. YouTube Drakensang videos, even the Twitch broadcasts might be useful.
    3. Gamer mentality. Willing to play 18 hours straight? Vaguely remember your pet or significant other? Can you eat, use the restroom, and still not miss a battle? Gamer! The true achievement. How much do you want it?
    4. Good technology. It's a must. If it doesn't work, use something else. Wire-less can compete with other household events. Defective or clunky computer systems deserve a make-over. It's a race, a contest of speed and accuracy. Drive the best you can.

    I only care about 1 toon after Release 155. Originally I estimated 9 hrs of play to complete Mini #1. It took 7 hrs. Mini #2 took less than 5 hrs. The trolls at DSO are adapting, but so are the players.
    Good Hunting!

    Who said you must finish it with all your toons?
    Select one or two and finish it with them.
