@Weaver:

I managed to get into the top 200 once. I do not TT and I did not spend a fortune.

I spent A LOT of time, though.

I apologize in advance for the lengthy math and calculations (feel free to correct me).

To get into the top 200, it's good to know the following:

- the bottom 5 people usually score somewhere between 540-580 items - conversion rate is 6 event banishers = 15 items - 580 items = ~232 banishers - the banisher drop rate is a bit above 60%, which means that you get (on average) 6 banishers per 10 visits - 232 banishers = ~387 visits - 387 visits from Novice to Expert means that will land at ~10% Expert - event passes needed to get to 10% Expert = 10.580 - if we substract the event passes awarded for completing the Event Quests, the number of event passes needed is 10.480 - let us assume the event lasts 26 days... this means you need to earn 404 passes EVERY DAY to accumulate the minimal required amount (don't forget to play the event location too)... having more than that is preferable, though - if you're playing non-premium locations only, then you need about 101 visits daily - if you're playing premium locations only, then you need about 67 visits daily - assuming that you're playing non-premium locations only, 101 visits equals to 303 minutes of playing SN, which is ~5 hours - assuming that you're playing premium locations only, 67 visits equals to 201 minutes of playing SN, which is ~3 hours 20 minutes

tl;dr play 5 hours every day and you have a chance to get into the TOP 200
