So. What was everyones opinion of this event?

Honestly, I think it was too hard. There was a decent boost to rewards for sure, But with the added difficulty of the Monster skills alongside just the added damage. It was pretty damn sketchy at the higher levels, SC or HC.

considering we were fighting lvl 87 ( i think) mobs at lvl 70..

But. I did like the Drop rates. it was nice seeing more then T1-3 Drops AND half ass Rolls on T8-14 items.

thoughts?

Yeah I love the drops, I finally actually got more than 1-2 skillables per climb & more like 5ish per climb in avg.
SO instead of needing 2000 climbs to get 1 prof rank i would only need 600 :D I loved it

Alot more highlvl whites is always welcome also, even tho i will never really well anything good, but it's the excitement that im after anyway right? :D

i agree :banana:

now if he made some changes to all skills to make the barries to entry a little lower...

i spent nearly 8 hours the last 2 days just to get half of lvl 6 in muting..... thats an insane time investment and I hail the crazyies that are up at lvl 45+ YOU CRAZY

Plus fighting higher level monsters for some reason doesnt bring barely ANY prof, only fighting mobs your exact level gives the most prof.

I wish glyphing was as ez prof as muting haha :D
Glyphing is so much worse since you will fail a ton of items, and you need 4-5times more items to get 1 rank ;(

This is not true.

As for event I liked it. Always nice when >0 skillables I need drop in a climb. Getting to point where only explore even really helps me... I buy probably 90% of the skillables I need.

The only thing I wish was changed currently is high level explore. Soloing at 90+ Eps hit for like 2k and the result being don't fight Eps at 90+ just whistle rest of the way. Would be nice to disable leveling or something just so that we could fight level 80-85 monsters with ease.

watch what happens when you drop down a TD.

you go from getting prof every 1-3 hits ( more or less)

to every 1-8 hits or less. Its a brutal reduction.

Trapdoors give +1 - 5 monster levels. My guess is that you got a +5 when you were testing. On a +1 it'll actually be decent for prof :)

I love[d] this event and hope we get some more events like it! I did some solo explore from 1-73, 80, and 138. Everything was better from level 1- 73. I will admit, the level 138 EPs kind of wrecked me, but I did get XIVs from almost all of them... even though they were trash XIVs :P

And just before the event ended, Lyricist and I spawned a level 80 NMNM which we crushed!!!! Until wave 7-9, at which point we got crushed...
We finished, but sadly nothing good dropped out of 44 EPs :( Oh well, what else is new!
