    Does anyone know when this event is due to finish?

    I just re-read the original news item [Link] and it's not stated anywhere.

    Some clarification would be lovely.

    Regards.

    PS: PWI Random contribution gods looked favourably on me today b:thanks

    Supposed to last all Summer, as far as I know.

    Indeed it would.
    I've found several ways to get contribution rather fast, but they is secret.

    They appear at the crossroads in North, South, and West Archosaur. Just look for the huge clump of people, and when the shaft of light appears, the Elder has spawned.

    I love this event b:victory

    Even though i'm not that high a lvl and i'm an axe build BM, i rank top20 almost every day. I'm not sure, but i think the competition ammongst BMs is one of the hardest (correct me if i'm wrong), so always nice to have you name in a ranking list b:pleased

    For all the people that are complaining about this quest:

    - I don't have a super computer, so bad luck if you lag with one. For all the minor systems, too bad, nobody can change that. Sure, I lag to sometimes, but can't blame PWI for that.
    - It took me a week to finally figure how it works, so study this quest before you start complaining
    - Yes, you got to talk to NPC twice (there are 3 in arch which will spawn when event starts at crossroads in south, west and north arch), first get the inventation and then talk again to get the nien attack quest.
    - Don't use the cube shortcut. Why? Because it's an instance, so your current quests that you are participating in will fail/reset.
    - Don't forget to open to open the gift envelopes
    - Don't expect to get a huge reward if you don't do anything. If you got a little contribution and don't make any mistakes like cube shortcut, you'll already get a nice reward
    - Nobody told it is easy at start. You got to do something for it. About 3-400 people join this event, so you can't expect that the bosses spawn right in front of you, just follow the crowd if you don't know where to go.

    I've made some of these mistakes so learned it the hard way. Just don't start complaining if you fail. It's not that difficult if you get to know the event. I have some complains about PWI too, but this is 1 event that they have set up pretty good.

    For the lower lvls, I'm sorry that it's no good for you, but if you can participate, just do it to gain some exp. You will probably be at a higher lvl some day, so your time will come eventually.

    The one thing I dont like are people squading themselves on other chars, and sharing contribution so that they can get top spots. It's not fair to other players and just shows how greedy people can be..These players usually get in the top five so they have multiple chances to getting XTC cards and Excitement cards.

    What sickens me are the ppl going Demon and having the funds to have interval gear just for this event....Barbs.....Archers.....Fist BMs....mostly.


    Eww....

    I like the event as well. I have no problem with lag once I turn on best performance, and turn off show other players names. Altough once I do this, I can not see anybody unless they are right next to me. I sometimes forget to change it back until I'm in a squad and can't see squad members.

    I have gotten the laced pack once, when event first started, but usually get full or rich. However, I have noticed that there are some players who start of with a contribution amount of 1500 points in the beginning. I have not figured out how this is done, the most I can start with is 1090 (300 + 10 X 3) + (150 +10) after talking to the npc outside the walls. Am I missing something here?
