R201

I think so much and I found a way to finish event playing 3h a day

 

Some players play only a little but they want to be as strong as those who play a lot. They usually get butthurt in hoards and demand lowering the grind and try to shame everyone who plays more than them. I've seen this happen way too much.

My response to those players? Go play literally any random game, chances are it will be much more casual and you'll be able to play it a little and get everything. Meanwhile i had to search far and wide to find a game that doesn't limit my playtime and rewards grind.

 

Stop strawmanning, apologist, what players are really asking is at least to have a good reward for a grindy event and if you have been here for a time, events. This is the exception, finally an event that gives good rewards for a cancerous grinds, but there were events in the past that gave good rewards for a little grind.
In the distant past of this game the events were very grind, i was not here, thankfully, but i witnessed many trainwrecks( perils of time, dunes of desolation, invasion

How does 90 + 10% become 83?

 

Second line is 75, no 90.

Edit : the best news is when we go offline buffs count stop to run. If we come back online 1hour later we still have our buffs

It will be a very good event finally

 

now i see
So then we would 3k keys to finish the event

 

In painful values seems to be 75, 90, 120 and 150. If we take medium values we need about 881 keys

 

Badges drop in R201_1 (many thnaks to Vivy91 user who gathered the data):

Difficulty	Base drop	Drop with 1000% buff
Hard	60 / 75 / 90	660 / 825 / 990
Excruciating	80 / 100 / 120	880 / 1100 / 1320
Fatal	100 / 125 / 150	1100 / 1375 / 1650

The best key utilization ratio is on hard difficulty. Suppose average drop 75 badges per 1 key, which is 825 badges with 1000% buff. 1M / 825 = less than 1212 keys if you do not use keys for buffing.

 

Can't you see it is a joke?
It is a raffle ... it doesn't matter if you buy 200 or only 2 lottery tickets ... anyone can get the price.
And of course ... I am not expecting to get any rewards because like I said ... i play smart ... i won't spend more time than the time needed to get to 1M point.
Like I said I play smart not hard ... therefore I want to provide a smart guide to be useful for all players ... but mostly for the new and weak players. That is the purpose of the Wiki ... we are not creating contents for the old and the strong players ... most of the contents are useful to everyone but mostly to the new players.
Alas ... I have no obligation to provide information to anyone. I am not working in BP and I am not getting or making money out of my work.
However ... your concern about "players not informed on time to collect keys" has no base at all ... read the explanation below.

You see it is not that difficult after all.

No

No

No

In order to finish the event (without doing math) you need exactly:

Spoiler: Pricese number of keys need to finish the event

0 Keys

IceMagician ... now you know why there is no need to inform the players to farm keys in advance
Like I said ... smart play always beats the hard play.
My guide will be containing all the tips and tricks on how to play smart ... but the event is not final yet (still needs polishing and fixing) so there is plenty of time for making a guide.

 

What is more interesting than direct key bosses ? Loxley cavern in group, fast cleaning of the map = chief + boss ?

 

Still plenty of time for the guide

 

That is quite the interesting twist for this upcoming event.

 

well, we'll see the guide you'll maketh, thou are our lord and savior afterall
My humble and mortal guess is that the solution lies in loxley caverns

 

Um, how does the buff work exactly? Let's say I kill a boss once. I get the +10% badges buff for 17 minutes (I saw 17 min. in a video somewhere). Then I kill the boss again in say 5 minutes and receive another +10% buff. Now, does the buff duration reset to 17 min., or do I only have 12 minutes remaining now? I hope it resets, because otherwise it wouldn't make much sense if it can stack up to +1000% (=100 boss kills), right? Just want to make sure anyway :]

 

The buff's duration is 15 min.
It is working like any other event buff ... like in new moon in example.
You pick a drop you get 10% and 15 min.
Pick another one you get +10% and the timer starts from 15 minutes again ... etc.

 

Cool, thanks.

 

it starts when you pick up hunting badges, so when you kill the miniboss that appears after you clear the dungeons should give the buff too

 

Russian forum says theres no badges from Asar and the buff resets when you leave caverns with arachna can you check plz ? becasue if so thats it for no keys tactic / cant do it myself no test server char and your the only one i trust with info on forums

 

Oh NO! No way I'm farming those keys, man -_- Hope it's just a false alarm...

 

I wont risk i already started

 

That is true ... it could be bug or maybe not.

Yes this is also true ... but that is not all ... every additional group member shortens the buff for 2 minutes
1 player in group - 2 minutes
5 players - 10 minutes
So don't play in group and never stay in group even when alone.
Also ... the essences are subtracting badges from your progress
green essences- 10 badges
blue essence - 100 badges
purple essence - 200 badges
red essences - 300 badges
So don't use essences as well because you will start the Winter Solstice event with negative progress.
