Bauble bubble grind fest =.=
It is here for at least a month.
Is this ArenaNet’s homage to the mid-1980’s 8-bit classic “Bubble Bobble”?
Seriously 250 bubbles for 1 bauble….This is gonna take time
You get BB by doing bosses/stages in the game.
If I recall, a full clear is worth 7 BB.

It doesn’t take that long. Running around the open world generates them pretty quickly – some of the mobs drop 5 and 10 baubles at a time. Combined with 2 Bubbles per boss per character. You can pick up a skin in an evening. Three hours, maybe less.
Its funny they put a coin grind game inside a coin grind game right =D ?
I got 7 yesterday for completing the world 1 so if that can be done daily then it should not take that long to get at least 1 skin.. also would not doubt that the skins in the ah will be very affordable by the end of april
When not playing on infantile mode, you can loot bubble baubles from the chest at the end, you’ll get it pretty quick with little to no grind just playing it throughout the month.
No tier gear involved. It’s only for cosmetics. This kind of grind is fine with me, because that’s how it always was with Guild Wars, and what they promised us with GW2.
Yeah,but they should make it less grindier though.
12500 baubels for 1 skin. I would run the mini dungeon, so far you get 7 bubble baubels for completing the first world. I would be willing to bet you get more for completing the second.

I did all 3 zones for 6 bauble baubles similarly and got my backpack this morning haha Now i have to stockpile for when they add pistols!!
You can do world 1 in about 15 min once you know the correct/efficient path to run. You can easily get all of the skins you want before the month is over.
This is probably the least grindy thing in the game lol. You can get 250 baubels in like 5 minutes in Zone 1. Plus you get Baubel Baubels directly from chests.
Or just do PvE and open Chests there and get Baubles too.
So you can get Baubles too while doing your daily Mega-Boss Event Runs.

You can easily get 20 Bauble Bubbles (the big ones) in 1 hour, and here is how…
Do a speed run of Zone 1 and Zone 2 (In the Super Adventure Box in Rata Sum)
Zone 1 takes 5 mins, Zone 2 takes about 6-7mins. Do not kill anything unless it’s in your way. Do not go out of your way for the small baubles. Just get to the end as fast as possible and get your 2 bauble bubbles at the end of each zone. So you have 4 bauble bubbles in 12 minutes.
Do this with all 5 of your toons, if you don’t have 5, make alts for this. Once you have 5 characters, you will be able to get 20 bauble bubbles in 1 hour.
Remember that you can only collect from a chest once a day for each character.
Obviously you can continue through the other zones and levels, and even though they are fun, I haven’t found them good for grinding.
Happy Hunting!
Meh, people percieve anything that takes more effort than simply logging in as “grindy”.
I feel a need to facepalm.
Grind?
I got 50 bauble bubbles today and bought the greatsword with them. I also now have the shortbow and scepter from the TP.
for what do you need them? the skins?
if you actually like these kittenty skins, you deserve to be punished with grind.

I played an hour today, soloing the Box. I picked up two bauble bubbles while playing, but maybe I’m just lucky.
Do the box once per day (and with multiple characters if you want) and then just go about your normal pveing (dunno if the chests are in wvw too but if so then that as well). You will get plenty just by doing all the chests you come across.
Is this ArenaNet’s homage to the mid-1980’s 8-bit classic “Bubble Bobble”?
Yes. It comes from Taito’s arcade game Bubble Bobble.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_Bobble
I bet the continue screen of the explosives comes from the continue screen of Final Fight and the crushers I think is an inspiration from the continue screen of the arcade game Ninja Gaiden.
It’s not that much of a grind really, I’ve managed to get a staff and sword skin. Learn the routes of the levels and play through them with different characters (not much different to the games of old) and your bauble bubble pile builds up quickly.
6 bauble bubbles per 15 min run of first 3 boss chests per character slot per day (8 in my case) = 48 bauble bubbles per day (+ easy to get the last 2 bubbles). That’s 1 weapon skin a day that takes me about 2 hours or so to do.
Hardly difficult, long or time consuming ‘grind’ when I think ‘grind’ I think korean type MMO where you need to kill the same things for weeks to get anything worthwhile. If you really think that’s grind try Tera for 20 levels (I swear you fight the exact same mobs at level 1 the entire way through to at least level 20 where I quit) or get a full hardcore raid set in WoW
Don’t take me the wrong way it just takes a bit of practice to get the paths down and it doesn’t really take that long to get enough baubles for skins once you do. Another tip would be opening all the chests you find in the open world while doing your daily. Drops quite a few baubles!
If speed running to the end chests isn’t your thing, going out of your way to visit secrets, dig spots and open chests will significantly increase your bauble earning. Helping your friends get achievements in the box is also a good way to get baubles without it feeling grindy.

There is a other way just do youre daily after that make a new char it takes around 10 min be4 u finikitten the intro ..go to WvWvW take the portal to LA ..take the portal to rata and do zone 1-2 (u can do this alone dont take tge cloud run)u Will have around 250 baubles when finikitten and 4 baubles bubbels Thats 5 Each run ..in couple of hours u got Youre backpack and 2 weapons have fun !!
You can get 35bb per day unless you delete a character.
for all 7 weapon skins it would take 10 days =350
(Math)
7×50=350
7×5=35
35×10=350
10 days (not counting backpack)
also that’s just running through the SAB
