this event structure is a horrible pot sink , that ' s about all I have to say . For advanced players , 2 pots purchasble daily are refunds now instead of being able to earn them via ep gaining honor and tokesn . For newer players , to get anything now , you have to farm ex or maniac for anything instead of being able to again be carried by epleeching tokens andor badges . Before you could alleviate the resource cost if you were focusing by splitting between EP and AP . now you have no choice the entire burden falls on AP . Welcome to the new pot drain philosophy , along with the gold anima change in casino , as well as the angel halo changes . You want something ? it costs more pots now . I ' d guess the overall cost of everything has increased by 50 % to 100 % given these changes . Hoping to drain moonpots I suppose . We ' ve also lost a TON of collateral benefits from the token boxes . As much as I used to complain about cleaning out my gift box , 100 ' s of angel weapons R ' s do actually do contribute significantly to progress , as well as gaining collateral mats for things like guild war chars and a bit of crystal to boot . This again contributes to making the event more costly pot wise , as you could consider every gw mat etc . you draw as a ' discount ' on it ' s AP cost from it ' s story . The cost of the event has simply gone up , and benefits basically no one except if you ' re trying to get the black brick ore , which is actually cheaper than I thought it ' d potentially be .
