Forgot to mention in my last post, Lively Bucko Brew can also give you a decent amount of rep. Just make sure you are on Port Royal.
Other than that.. only other tips I have are, if it begins to get boring, take a break from it. Or if you are very determined to finish them, try talking to friends, or talking in guild chat. If you are still playing the mini-game while chatting
, it will go by in no time.
