One Ticket Tactics - Never stop moving
All of the Darkmoon Faire daily games can be completed on a single ticket. Different games require more skill or luck to achieve this one ticket goal.
In "Tonk Commander", the key techniques are:
- Once the game is started, hold down both mouse buttons constantly to keep moving. Drive from one target to the next.
- Tap the "1" key to fire constantly. Don't aim as the system will automatically aim at the nearest target (or tank) even if it's behind you.
- Avoid driving into the Zeppelin's firing path if at all possible. The Zeppelin isn't able to track a moving target, but if you drive into the shell's path, it's game over.
- Drive through the targets. It's faster and more accurate.
- Don't worry about enemy tonks. As long as you're moving, they won't be able to hit you.
The one ticket success rate of this game is highly dependent on where the targets randomly occur. If they're spaced out badly, you won't be able to complete this in one ticket. If you have to blow a second ticket, after reaching the 30 pt total needed to win, drive up behind the Zeppelin and blast it out of the sky (will take 4-5 shots). There's no bonus for doing this, just the satisfaction of revenge.

For information, you have to destroy "Tonk Targets" and not the other tanks! Took me about 4 games to understand it...
You will need a Darkmoon Game Token to play any Darkmoon Games.
You can earn a token by turning in a quest, or you can simply buy 20 tokens for 1g 92s at level 85 (1g80s if you're exalted from before or if you're a goblin) by buying the Sack'O Tokens !
The price of the sack depends on your level (57s 60c to a player level 67 for example) !These tokens are used to play the following games :
- It's Hammer Time
- The Humanoid Cannonball (obtainable achievement : Blastenheimer Bullseye)
- He Shoot, He Scores! (obtainable achievement : Quick Shot)
- Tonk Commander
- Target: Turtle
You'll hear a sort of 'ping' noise if you get targeted by another tonk - when that happens hit your speed boost and run around like a maniac, this should stop your tonk from being hit and ending the game. As with all the other games your score carries over, but it can get tedious being killed repeatedly during busy times.
Not sure why the downvotes? It's always worked for me - if you think this is incorrect please comment and say why.
