TOTALLY ATTAINABLE  "ACHIEVEMENT 5th STAR"  (:^)   This is a follow up on my  other Post ... I just realized that that Mini-Games are unavoidable if you want to get the 45% for the the 4500 Tokens Spent Achievement ...

I played a little Excavations and got to R5 where it gives 6 Tokens per completion for 28 EP  ... So getting 100 Tokens that way will take 17 plays giving 102 Tokens and taking  28 * 17 = 476 EP ... Getting the SAME 102 Tokens by playing Halls of Samhain requires first getting 30 * 17 = 510 Medallions,  which in turn means playing Ballet Academy 51 times and then the Halls 17 times  for a whooping  133 * 51 + 17 * 77 = 8092 EP ... a 17 fold multiplier on the Excavations Mini-Game ... If you go with the TIME constraint:    at 4 mins a pop Excavations will produce the 102 Tokens in a little over an hour ... At 4 min a pop, the  68 Searches will take over 4.5 hours ... More than 4 fold the time needed for the Mini-Game route  ... In conclusion, yes the 45% for Tokens Spent CAN be achieved without playing the Mini-Game but only if you are willing to spend 45 * 4 hours of Game Play vs   45 hours for the Excavations Min-Game   ( and the Energy requirement would be roughly just over 8k EP for Excavations compared to 360k+ for the "long route via Searches"   ... At 1 EP / 3 min it is 17 days compared to 750 !!! (^) ...  I just been converted to an Excavations Mini-Game FAN  (^) ...  (And I take back my compliments to G5 for making an event achievable without the Mini-Games ! ;)
