Is there a best way to farm invitations?

At high infestation it took me 5 weeks to find my first Gatekeeper. I was actually expecting some sort of hulking mini-boss and was surprised to come across a re-skinned manservant. Either way I'm glad I finally got myself an invitation.

That being said though, is there a way to find them more easily?

Would I have better luck doing longer dungeons runs as the chances to run into one will increase?

The faster that you can trigger encounters, the more likely that Court mobs are able to replace them at High Infestation, and the more likely you are to encounter a gatekeeper....

Maybe it's early, or I'm just really slow, but what do you mean exactly when you say trigger encounters? And how would one do that? I'm assuming you mean trigger encounters with the Gatekeeper.

So you're saying maybe if you have one encounter in a dungeon with the Gatekeeper you are more likely to have a second?

Do long dungeons. Also yes, I have encountered multiple gatekeepers within the same dungeon.

Thank you SunDrippedDevil, I am naming a hero after you, but no promises I won't accidentally get them killed in the next Dungeon.

I expect him/her to die horribly. Thank you for the honor.

I won't disappoint in the failing horribly department.

Why do you use spoilers, though?

i've found the trigger, you need to infect your heroes with the crimson curse
and then round up all 4 boys/grills into a dungeon when the infestation is high

you're BOUND to get at least one invitation this way
it's bull$hit and annoying, though i guess a modder could remove that invitation limitation...

Are you sure? This sounds kinda strange. I can check code, i suppose, but it will take time.

Do you mean sending four cursed heroes into a dungeon? That's a great way to send an invitation to the Fanatic.

Pretty sure that they just drop frequntly from manservents and gatekeepers, which spawn more often in infected dungeons. You should wind up with way more than you need as infection ticks up (it sucks when you have a ton of cursed heroes and low infestation).

With the recent update invitations appear in the loot of the crimson court bosses when they're killed, from my understanding.

I've only gotten two invitations so far. Both from Gatekeeper manservants.

They only drop from gatekeepers. Normally, killing a courtyard boss wipes your invitations and resets them to 0. Now, killing one will grant you 1 invitation (was patched in on July 6th)

That's the only way to get them in my experience, just gotta wait until Infestation is high, then they will show up, the dodgy little buggers.
