New campaign, new celebration, new race to mirt

With tales starting, I thought I could go beat my previous record and finally beat the 24h tag.

Here are the new ideas/ tools i wanted to use :
- free champions from the tales
- abusing the notary for speed potions
- not starting to play as soon as the celebration starts, but a few hours before the end of day 1, to grab the necessary time gate pieces sooner (this is what was missing the last time)
- opening platinum chests when you already have gear, for the bonus ilvls

Here is what happened : I started on Thursday morning (first mistake, as I had things to do IRL), got myself the champions from the celebration giveaway and opened all their chests (second mistake! those were platinum, and I should have opened electrums first), I played as far as possible the first adventure in the grand tour campaign in order to grab favour and then same for the second adventure (third mistake! this took too long!). I then grabbed Ezmeralda and Catti-brie, then got to the event to grab Cazrin and Certainty. With Hitch from the newsletter, I had my 20 champions. After about 12h, I also had the TG pieces, but I was only at about 1700 total ilvls :(. Not impossible to grab mirt, but it wasn't going as fast as I wanted = big disappointment! So i decided to have another take at it today,

Here is what happened, take 2 :

• I started on friday late after noon (Paris TZ) = 1 less mistake,
• got myself the 3 champions from the celebration,
• took the daily reward from the celebration
• played as fast as I could some adventures in grand tour to unlock the tales = second mistake avoided
• opened all non platinum chests I could (from playing and from the combination channel) = third mistake avoided
• opened all platinum chests and let the magic happen (almost 2000 ilvls immediately)
• got myself Ezmeralda and Catti-brie
• got myself Certainty and Cazrin
• bought (with the free 888 platinum from the celebration) platinum chests for Widdle (new mistake, should have just used the event variants and the BS contracts)
• waited for the second daily reward of the celebration for my missing TG piece

et voilà : elapsed time = 3h27min :)
(real time, if you count game time, it's a lot more due to those speed potions)
