The fireworks cooldown....

[Oogabooga.3812]

….is way too long. 5 secs before ANY of the others can be launched? I can understand if 1 of them can't be launched right away, but as it is, to use up the entire package, it takes 45 seconds. I'm staring at my stack of 100+ fireworks sad because I don't have the patience.

Yep tedious but i just let it auto-attack and browse something else, I eventually got it

Enter the raid training area (requires commander tag) and use the special action to refresh cooldown. Maybe ask a friend who has a tag if you don't have one.

Iirc you can create a 10-man-party without tag and enter training area

Yeah, the cooldown on these things is dumb. I gave up using them and just ran around setting off the launchers in Hoelbrak for the festival achievements and now just trash any more that I end up getting.

Yep. No tag needed. Just a squad, which anyone can make, tagless or not.

No tag needed and don't forget the alacrity and quickness ;)

Huh, I didn't even think of the raid area, that's a nifty idea.

 

On the other hand I got that achieve in a day or two at the festival's start while giddily doing a lot of other things it offered. The free fireworks from the gem store did a hunk of it without cooldown, there are fast-firing launchers all over the festival, I had long minutes to wait for beetle and moa races to end or stampedes to begin in which I could just tap out fireworks while watching Map chat.

 

Also, a trick I've learned for when fireworks is a daily is to equip a fireworks bundle and set one off while running to a launcher. Use the launcher, set off another firework while running to the next launcher. If you weave them together like that the tedious cooldown is less of a factor because you're still advancing to other things while doing it.
