Just curious, who gets sunglasses, who gets a hat and are these the traditional armor items you would then fuse to your armor or are these cash tab avatar items? Both have their benefits, just wondering what's up with this.

I feel like it's a shame they didn't include a hair coupon. Then it would basically be like a discount dazzle em dead package with bonuses, which would be a lot more appealing, but hey shades are cool too.

The highest tier of the reward really needs to include the ability to select smooth legendary ores. They're used for far too many things, all level 100 accessories: the belts, earrings and now rings each eat up two of them, reforging armor, and making torso and leg armor. Somehow despite there being 37 or so pages of the damned things on the NA server they never really dip below 20 million gold. I don't know what's keeping the price of those things so high considering I can try to sell 1 of 3 of a rare scroll on the mp and those scrolls are half price by the end of the day but the price makes anything having to do with smooth ores prohibitively expensive which is keeping a good portion of the casual and just returned segment of population from being able to gear up and hop into all of the level 100 raids and making friends of mine who've returned after long absences feel intimidated only to leave again.

There's also a good segment of the population who don't even want Astera weapons due to the costs involved and this current iteration of the reward only helps those that want to build or have already built an Astera weapon (and it doesn't even cover the weapon essence itself which is still the most expensive part). At least if smooth ores were selectable, people who want to stick with Dullahan weapons could build themselves modern accessories and actually get something out of the event. I know it's probably too late to do anything about this event as it stands, and the kind of people who gouge the server to death on sales at present will complain but if you guys would consider doing the same thing you're doing with weapon ores with armor ores in the future it would probably do a lot more to help the player base and encourage raiding than this will.

There's also a myth that a dullahan character deals less dps in OS than astera, that's fake.

It's not wholly untrue, but for practical purposes, yeah the difference isn't very meaningful. At 6,000 ADD, the difference is around 5% damage. At 15,000 ADD it's about a 2% damage difference.

Who in the world has 15,000 additional damage?

You forgot option 4...

Make alts that do events. Right now you could be getting rune/etc on a other accounts. -> make gear on them buy unbinds when they are cheap (or event unbinds) -> send to main.

You still have to play for a long time, but it is best way to not spend money/NX. (Assuming they don't keep on bringing back the runes/items that expire.) And hopefully they even give you items you can sell. (IE best events they gave use gacha boxes => airtight regina/deathknight or other decent stuff.)

Also they really like to give out +10/11 coupons around when they release new lvl gear. Scroll them with free exq runes -> send to main. (Plus if you run 80 easy dailies = 3 star gear)

This for me. It's nice as a shortcut. And after that, way too much playing this game. Way too much. Focus on one or two characters, sell anything they don't need, keep it up and you will eventually get that stuff prepared. Seriously. I accidentally infused the 2 bal off my sword (it only took 2 or 3 tries the first time ) and spent easily over 50 stones (one run at it I amassed 36 intermediate element stones and threw them all at the thing to no avail, followed by another attempt with 8 so know that I'm not exaggerating) to put it back on. RNG sucks for sure, but stick with it long enough and it will succeed eventually. I have to add though that I don't have one character in all 15 gear. I have two characters with mostly 13's. If I focused on one and didn't buy so many outfitters I'd probably be at all 15's, but having the second character that can run astera battles means more astera runs in a day if I choose to which means more loot which means more steel and more chances to get weapon ess's. Like I said, I play too much.

I would also advise people against building astera armor. I have it on my main and it's way too expensive to reforge it.

As for that I guess what I would add is that it's entirely possible if you put in a lot of time and keep at it forever. Which is not a very sexy answer or fun or appealing for people to hear.

You have chosen the best avatar, I feel this says something about the caliber of person you must surely be.
