I need to make a T-shirt that says: "I had 3 characters farm this event for 7 days and all I got was this lousy rank 2 Dark enchant."
Really? An R2? I have thousands of those other coins, and the only thing I'd use are the Draconic enchants, for RP. Unfortunately, that will take another whole day of clicking. First to buy them, then to refine them. What a colossal waste of time. I'll be skipping the next one.
What did you get?

I am content, as I was able to get every achievement from the event on all my characters. I still don't care for the RNG aspect but I loved everything else. What made my day was when I opened the 8th Defense Pack and got a Battlefield Medic. Indeed! I rarely get anything good from RNG, so this cheered me up a bit. For sure.

Better than a lesser mark of potency and a rank 2 runestone;)
Should have just sold it on the AH.

Neverember Guard
Refiner's Cache (lesser mark of power, rank 3 enchant)
Codex of Companion Experience (35k companion XP)
Along with horn, archer, survivor's outfit, dye kits, AH from selling carts and defense supplies.
Got quite a bit of stuff in the end, none of it amazing or particularly useful and not the only thing I really wanted, the battlefield medic
As an event it was ok, elements of the battles were spoiled by things dying too fast. Decent enough fun though.
*Looks at your join date*, yup I'd believe that.
Pretty hard earning AD nowadays doing dungeons
5 Neverember Archer Guards (125k AD each on AH right now, they will go up a bit soon though)
5 Battlefield Medic packs (8k AD each)
4 Injured Survivor packs (10k AD each)
8 Dragonthingy Dyes (2,5k AD each)
2 Salvager's Enchantments with leftovers (35k AD each)
1 Blue mount from 1st pack (250k AD)
2 Dragon Scales from 2nd pack (almost nothing)
Sold 10 remaining defense supplies for 50k.
If I were to sell everything I got from the event, i'd easily make over 1mil (after AH tax)
Best event so far! I love BoE stuff!!
For the other currency I got both my characters the guard companion, the battle horn, about 8 veteran dye packs, 2 battlefield medic pack and some draconic enchantments to use up the leftover currency.
I wish I had more time to farm this thing, though it probably wouldn't have mattered, the supplies and medals were so rare a drop.
Lucky me I had time to enjoy this event to the fullest.
I decided I'm not spending any money in this game so getting that & medals with my luck together was no easy task.
I got the Archer(ina) - anyone else noticed the graphic bug with her standing still with her bow on her back ?
I gathered enough insignia to buy two horns, sold them on AH and bought Defens Supplies for the AD I made. NOt a single medal dropped for me from the encounters, just inisgnia and maybe 8 supplies.
I gathered enough currency to get both fashion sets.
After all this hard work I got rewarded. I spent the 7 medals, took my chance and ... got the Battlefield Medic
If the only think people are looking for in events is freebies, that road is almost always going to end in disappointment.
It was an awesome event, just wish it would have been a little easier getting the medals seeing as the chest was RNG. Other than that I want to see something similar to it in the future
I slowly was able to earn ONE of the Neverwinter Defender's Packs and the extra items I got were:
2 Silvery Dragon Scales and one Rank 4 Draconic Enchantment
Woot! I can retire now! :P

I spent way too much time playing, opened 3 boxes and got the medic in the 2nd!
I made the mistake of naming him after my husband though, which seems to have imbibed him with some of the same characteristics, namely getting under my feet, standing around like a spare part and never being around when I could actually use his help.
I did manage to get the BoP archer on all my characters, a couple of medic outfits and one survivor one, one horn, and a bunch of dye. A lot of it is primarily so I can collect all the things. I've got 10-20 insignia left on a bunch of characters, which mildly irks me.
I made a bunch of AD selling portable altars. Time to start stacking them up again for the next event that uses them in inventive ways....

8 packs with 4 characters? I got 2 with 2 and the prize i got from the second pack was so discouraging I simply quited trying (It was 200k item changed book of 35k companion exp with hordes of cheap 2k companion exp books flooding the markets).
Personally I think the worst price should have been the green companion to make it worth the while OR at the very least give Silvery Dragon Scales AND Refiner's Cache for nice try.
There seemed to be better chance of getting items if you are in top of the 5 charts seen in skirmishes and sadly this means my group-buffer CW simply sucked in it. She was actually much worse in getting the supplies than my pretty new low damage tank GWF.
I feel really sad if the game is taking away chances of loot from people making actual RPG characters and giving it to min/maxers (for which I am included). This also seems to force me to respec my CW back to DPS, as she really shined in events pre-free-respec-patch and I just felt I could re-create her to help party, but this and the fact that (random) people usually won't notice anything but DPS has changed my mind.
I really liked the event:
+ Many different possibilities to fight.
+ One event didn't take too long.
+ Chances for loot didn't seem to be affected by the number of people in it.
+ The attacking hordes created an illusion of waves after waves, which created kinda gloom and desperate situation mood.
+ Much different kinds of pretty decent prizes.
I really didn't like in the event:
- Too low drop chances for Defense Supplies.
- Too low drop rates for the Medic Companion from the boxes.
- No "nice try" minimum prize from the Newerwintan boxes (The companion exp book was utter trash).
- No random loot drops in the great battlefield. SERIOUSLY?
- The artifact prize Horn of the event was pretty weak*
* Please take out the damage cancels speed buff from the horn and make the damage to take 3 extra seconds per second from the recharge time to make the recharge time about in par (2 min 30 sec at best) with epic artifacts. Currently it is pretty useless as DoTs are so plenty, random little damage common and even the 2k temporary hitpoints is pretty weak when healing potions heal 8k HP instantly and nearly every longer time level 60 character has 30k HP, which means it is less than 10% HP boost for only few seconds. Also the extra HP should last for 30 seconds to be of any tactical use (even if they are instantly always gone in pvp).
Currently the Champion's Battle Horn is really weak show, especially compared to the Pocket Pet or especially the Tymora's Lucky Coin, but with mentioned changes it could become decent enough to be usefull.
A companion Kit - if it sells I'll be up a cool 20k AD.
I really wish I would have just farmed defense supplies and sold them for AD. I thought about it at first. ******.
Overall, I didn't like this event. And to put the medals on the Zen store for 50z each? It can't be any more obvious that this event was designed as a cash grab and not for the players. I hope Cryptic moves away from this event design in the future.
Booo I say, BOOOOO.
Lol.
Does your husband happen to be named Melchior? I think I made the same mistake with my Renegade Evok, as he is also never to be seen when there is actual combat happening, but when I'm trying to not gather mobs, he does this for me. Also he is always on the way when not needed.
I felt that the event was structured brilliantly, with various military goals available with which to satisfy the daily. Late on the first day I stumbled across the, oh, I forget its official name, the "hospital" up on the hill, with my GWF and I solo'd the far entrance while maybe three other players held down the opposite side during the assault. THAT was eminently satisfying...although to be honest, the grind was way more fun with my CW.
That being said...I guess some persons can't get excited about the story, and have to get exactly the valuable rewards they want in order to gain even the slightest sense of satisfaction from an event like this. I know, I know...munchkins gonna munchkin. I guess I'm just not comfortable playing with anyone who didn't derive even the tiniest little sense of satisfaction from preventing wounded Neverwinter militia from being slaughtered in their sick-beds...
If anything, maybe they could've added a green level medic to the currency rewards, so people could at least get the pet. Anyone who could go above and beyond could have the chance for the same pet already at epic rank.
There was actually a lot of "free" content to enjoy, even with limited time to play... this was possibly the best event so far...! And with a little effort some free attempts at purple companion or valuable blue stuff are a plus
It's the first non-grindy event where I got something for most of my characters, nothing to complain about! I wish they make more like this one
I'm usually the first to bash Cryptic when it deserves bashing, but this time i'll rather praise them
