As many of you are aware, active players will NOT be receiving many of the goodies reserved for returning players only, including a full Orange Level 90 +12 rank 7 scrolled armor set, weapon, and accessories. In order to help active players decide on whether it's worth it to stay logged in and play during this event or to log off for 30 days then return, I have compiled this list of pros and cons:

NOTE: if you decide to LOG OFF FOR 30 DAYS, you should seriously consider logging off starting tomorrow ( 11/8/2018). Reason being, if you don't log on starting tomorrow you will be able to log back on 31st day just in time to receive the last weekend of free log-in event gifts (the free Gremlin) and Mysterious/Abyssal Shards which are arguably the best gifts form the log in event.

Here is a breakdown of the rewards ACTIVE players receive participating in the current event vs logging off for 30 days:
ACTIVELY PLAYING Freebies:
1x Unstable Enhancement Rune
1x Goibhniu's Stone
1x Airtight Premium Enchant Rune
1x Unstable Enchant Rune
1x Rare Chunk and 1x Rare Chunk (weapon)
1x Free Gremlin
1x Mysterious/Abyssal Shard

---

1x Premium Enhancement Rune & 1x Premium Enhancement Rune Fragment & 1 Abyssal/Mysterious Shard
Possibly 1-3 max likely RNG based Premium Enhancement or Regular Enhancement Runes from the the fragments that could be collected and formed from collected temporal boxes.

LOG OFF FOR 30 DAYS Freebies:
FREE +12 rank 7 all Orange Level 90 gear for ALL your characters that you have.
1x Free Gremlin
1x Mysterious/Abyssal Shard

ANALYSIS:
There is no way the benefits of logging in and playing Vindictus for 30 days outweigh the benefits of logging off for 30 days if you are an Active Player. 1.33 Enchant items, 2.5 Enhancement Items, and probably max 3 RNG based Enhancement Items. There is no way with 1.33 Enchant Items and 5.5 Enhancement Items that I could even come close to creating a full +12 armor and weapon set, and the disparity grows multiplicatively the more characters you have that can get the free gear. With current +12 probability alone the 5.5 Enhancement Items wouldn't even guarantee getting 1 piece of armor to +12 and the 1.33 Enchant items wouldn't even guarantee getting 1 rank 7 scroll on that 1 piece of armor. Literally Nexon NA is forcing all active players to log off for 30 days due to the way they have designed this event.

So, if you have only 1 main account with many characters, you are better served logging off for 30 days. If you have multiple accounts, log off for 30 days with the accounts that have many characters and only log in with the accounts that have few or maybe just your main character on them.

I hope this helps make the choice clear for everyone.

Ah, so the in-game tooltip for the dice is WRONG?
So, there was conflicting information provided?
If so, is there I a chance I can receive some sort of compensation since I was going off what was stated in game (and the reason I dind't recheck the event posted here in the forum was because of the tooltip stating 2/21 as the event end date).?
Thanks.

As said here, you have 2 options:
1) Go straight for the +13 stone 1st time around. This is a really good deal. A good +13 lvl 90 is decent and will last for a while. This is what I have done with 3 characters I enjoy playing.
2) Go to +12 using stones, then use SafeGuard Runes to go for +14 or greater. If you get setback, use another stone to reset to +12. If you get to 0 unbinds yolo the weapon to get back half the resources and try again.

My suggestion is to make a +13 for all character you enjoy playing, then when you have decided on a main go back to that character and use option 2) to attempt a +14. Keep in mind all parts of armor/wepaons MUST be OJ in order to go past +12. (+12 is the cap if any part is purple).

I agree every account should have a fast Farmer: your options are Xgun Kai, Scythe Evie, Sylas
