You my guy cinco, but ima need you to end 2020 with Black dragon set and more 71 Elites!!!!!!
3 week event what can i say this looks banging. Hopefully the drop rates arent to big to the point where none of this is in value to farm. Overall looks great though cant finally wait for a community gold farming zone.

Although this event will heavily damage my collections value, I don't see any harm in letting newer players have the opportunity to enjoy past items. Very nice [emoji108]

I guess nopeeee. Back when the first event like this was released the enemies damage and hp/armor are base on your level.

Gesendet von meinem SM-G960F mit Tapatalk
As you have seen there's a designated tier/points for every gold farming zone access. Maybe the question here is if the gold farming zones will last only for like 5mins and 30 mins(The realm keys) or the same as before where you can access for a day.

It’s 2 days worth of gold farming and discounted enchanting.

I recommend going to the dark legends forums about that and if it’s about your account cinco does nothing with that. You would need to contact support.

But there are 3 days to access vendor after event ends

Sorry, like previous events it’s 48 hours of Gold Farming and Enchantment discounts. Vendor is around for three days so you can do the two days of farming, enchanting and still have time to spend all your left over tokens.

I been waiting forever for classic legendary event with good gold farming thanks. But there one thing I always had a problem with in this event and that is I think myxx or who ever that drop the good stuff should appear like more often after you kill all mobs. Like 1/15 game chance or better odds. Also I would have liked to see all the old legendary sets addded from before events like that green dragon trim set, white lightning, pink trim one and the other ones that came from this kinda event to remain drop items in his loot table only( tradable version ) and non tradable could be bought with token(the fake version) And could make a non related set or item that could be bought with plats that wont appear in the future loot drop table.as more and more good items added to myxx table it be better I think. And also I think the newer items should have a higher roll chance then the older ones. This keep the older one unique still but attainable if your lucky but it would help the value and excitement when it drops from myxx.
And since these sets are legendary items can they get some stats like match with at least like Sorriest legendary set or something so we can use them while farming or leveling cause them trim sets do look really good but just need some stats any stats will do thanks

I've just noticed the decrease on xp needed for each level. Is it intended? and could it also means that we're having a new level cap soon?
We should get a title achievement if we collect all the vacation hats like “Beach Bum” or “Wave Rider” something like that.

Loving the event! Though it seems like the sand dolar drop rate is a little low...Im almost at 50k event points and less than 2k sand dolars.

Are you running the event with max luck? You will get better sand dollar tokens by rerolling. A Sapphire set will go a long way (50%). Combine that with your free daily blessing and you'll almost be at max luck (80%).
I've received over 10k sand dollars since the update that significantly reduced token drops. Before the update, you could get 1000+ sand dollars per run and now my average seems to be about 50 sand dollars per run. I'm at 40k points gained since the update.
Another possibility is that you might be running the event on a lower level toon and there may be a bug that wasn't entirely fixed in the previous patch where 110s received higher token drops than lower levels. I haven't tested on a lower level toon so I can't say for sure if this bug was completely patched.

I get on average 10 a run on a L61 (with ~80 reroll). This is the same for all levels below that, too.

So if that is the case, there seems to at least be an issue with lower level drop rates not being the same as max level drop rates, although the previous patch a week ago stated that they would be the same going forward:
+ Get the new classic 'Amethyst' vanity set for Sand Dollar tokens!
+ Decreased the drop rate for Sand Dollar tokens (10, 25 and 50 denominations are now more rare than 3, 5 and 7).
+ Token drop rate is now the same for low-level and max-level players.
+ Barky looks like Barky again (switched from using 'shark' pet appearance).
Perhaps you can look into this again, Cinco? Thanks!

I have also never seen 25 and 50 drop. Are they even in the loot table for low levels? Maybe I am just really unlucky :p

They are on the loot table. 25 Token rarity is Mythical. 50 Token rarity is Arcane.

Ive got my luck basically maxed and get anywhere from 1-10 tokens a run but roughly 7/10 runs I'll get lower than 5 tokens per run. Overall Its become monotonous and I'm pretty much done running now that I've got gold tier. Just glad that there are new itsm from the vendor cheaper than original gear. Which kind of sucks cause that purple set looks so cool!
