The awakening event is an event where you can awake gear for awakes that aren't normally possible. These awakes are only possible with elite gems though. Some example for an awake that's only possible at awake event: 5%all on a weapon and 4%all on other gears are awakes only possible at the event. 15%ms is also an example.
When the awak event happens the event also has more store gems, you can buy normal gems in the AL store for 30k gold each.
That's basically the awak event in a shellnut
