Event: Legion Events

Event runs from November 20 to December 11, 2014.

Event highlights:
  • Celebrates the introduction of the Shaolin Legion mercs
  • Attendance event
  • Hidden Repositorium
  • New User event

Attendance Event

The event runs for three weeks, so if you log in every day you should be able to get three copies of each login reward. After two weeks, you will have received 2 Forgotten Heart, which you can combine with the Life of the Forgotten One you received in your inventory at the start of the event in order to summon Bai Xian, one of the new Shaolin mercs. Every day, make sure you click the Check button in the menu on the right of your screen to claim your daily reward, which will appear in your mailbox.

Login rewards:
  • Day 1: Growth Vial (No Trade) - This is equivalent to a Growth Vial VI, usable by characters will less than 850 bonus stat points. I suggest saving it until you have all your Growth Vial V up to date.
  • Day 2: Purified Enhance Stone
  • Day 3: Merc Room License (7 Days/No Trade)
  • Day 4: Purified Enchant Stone
  • Day 5: Search Robot License Box (7 Days/No Trade) - Contains your choice of:
    • Search Song-i License (7 Days/No Trade) - Loots behind enemy lines
    • Research Raccoon License (7 Days/No Trade) - Increases your chance of receiving monster info
    • Assault Search Soldier License (7 Days/No Trade) - Helps you fight enemies and loots
  • Day 6: Blessing License (7 Day/No Trade)
  • Day 7: Forgotten Heart (No Trade) - Use two of these with your Life of the Forgotten One to summon your Bai Xian

Hidden Repositorium

You can get up to 2 Hidden Repositorium Keys per day. The Hidden Repositorium is an instance dungeon and allows you to take 5 mercs with you. I recommend axe users, gunners and mercs that hit several targets at once. The goal is to kill as many treasure chests as you can in 10 minutes. You receive [Event] Treasure Chests according to your level for each chest that you successfully kill.

After you come out of the Hidden Repositorium, you need to wait 4 hours until you can enter again with your second key. Note that the timer in Character info has a display error. Mine said 8 hours once I came out but I was able to re-enter after 4 hours, even if the timer wasn't done.

[Event] Treasure Chest IV contents (that I know of):

    Item Amount Notes
    Atlas Outfit Stone 2
    Blessing License (No Trade) 30 Days
    Blessing License (No Trade) 7 Days
    Blessing License (No Trade) 1 Day
    Exp. Concentration License (No Trade) 1 Day
    Scroll of the Hero Pack (No Trade) 1 Day Equivalent to a Warrior Package
    Scroll of Enchantment (No Trade) 1~3 Works like a Bewitching Scroll with some limitations
    Restroom Set Box 1 Contains one random Bathroom decoration for your home
    Announcement Ticket 1~5 Allows you to make 1 server-wide announcement (yellow letters)
    Ancient Book of Knowledge 1~3 5 million experience
    Supreme Evil Equipment Box 1
    Heavenly Crystal 2
    Growth Vial IV 1~10
    Growth Vial V 1~10
    Ambrosia (No Trade) 30
    Water of Life (No Trade) 7~10
    Van Gogh's Soul Stone 3
    Enchant Stone V 1~10
    Enchant Stone VI 1~10
    Soul Crystal 1 Redemption, Dragon, Phoenix or Giant
    Mysterious Vial 5 Valor, Wisdom or Death

I can't be sure about any of the other treasure chests, because I am currently in the 120-139 bracket. However, here's the info I have:

  • I heard from a friend that his [Event] Treasure Chest V (level 140+) contained, among others: Miracle Potion x50 and (Common) Nouvelle Cuisine Feast x1.
  • My level 96 alt gets [Event] Treasure Chest II, and the contents is pretty similar. Soul Crystals are replaced with 5 regular crystals of their respective kinds, Ancient Books of Knowledge are Ancient Skill Books (1 million experience). There are some Lucky Chain Letters in there too.


NOTE: Use up your Keys and Chests because they will be DELETED.


New User Event

All new accounts created while the event is active receive a free Heart of Gigas item, which summons the A-class cannon merc Gigas.

Event Dungeon: Honey Jar

Type of dungeon: Ind. dungeon, classic combat
Party size: 3 max
Number of mercs: 5 + Main
Minimum level: Not sure, probably 20
Objective: Kill as many mobs as you can in 30 minutes, max possible: 312 mobs
Why you want to run this: Excellent experience, mobs are easy, good rate of boxes from mobs, plenty of consumables such as ambrosia, Water of Life and enchant stones, lots of Atlantis coins

Key: Honey Jar Key
  • Reward for logging in on Atlantica Day for at least 4 cumulative hours

Reward: Water of Life based on the number of kills (max: Water of Life (No Trade) x30 for 301+ kills)


Comments

The mobs are extremely easy, and they auto-scale to your main character's level. There really isn't much to say in terms of strategy; if you duo, each person can start on opposite sides and work their way towards the middle, unless you're trying to powerlevel. The cannon horses are probably the strongest mobs, so if your gear isn't great you can take them out first. The boss is weak, but his AoE can be a problem if you're undergeared. Make sure to be prepared for it.

Loot

Unlike other dungeons, the Honey Jar's loot scales with your level. Here is what I know about the loot pattern:

Level Boxes Crafting Mats Atlantis Coin Enchant Stone
90-99 Osiris', Volcano Valley, Conqueror's None Silver III
100-109 Volcano Valley, Conqueror's, Freezing, Divine ??? Silver IV
110-119 Conqueror's, Freezing, Divine, Phoenix's Phoenix's Feather Silver IV
120-129 Freezing, Divine, Phoenix's, Dragon God's Depraved Seed Gold V
130-139 Divine, Phoenix's, Dragon God's, Evil Evil Imprint Gold V
140-149 ??? ??? Gold VI
150-159 ??? Pegasus Tear Gold VI

No matter what level you are, you can also ALWAYS drop, in addition to the level-specific loot:
  • Water of Life (No Trade)
  • Ambrosia (No Trade)
As far as I know, the boss always drops Atlantis gold coins, usually 1, 2 or 3 without item info depending on your level. 

Tips
  • If you want to take full advantage of the Honey Jar dungeon, make sure to ask someone for all the item info of the monsters inside:
    • Rebellious Cannon Horse
    • Forgotten Horse Rider
    • Patronizing Blue Mushroom
    • Patronizing Raccoon
    • Rebellious Song-i Hat
    • Crazed Cannon Horse
    • Patronizing Giant Raccoon
    • Patronizing Giant Mushroom (Boss, can be hard to obtain its info)
  • The Honey Jar is a great place to get powerleveled by a high level, it's very possible to go from level 30 to almost level 100 in half an hour by grouping with a lvl 160, especially if you run it on Atlantica Day
  • Duoing is probably the best setup if your gear is average; you should be able to finish all the mobs with a few minutes left on the counter. If you three-man you will probably run out of mobs quickly, and if you solo you will waste a lot of mobs
  • Avoid sniping the boss; you will lose the loot from his minions that run away. Just kill all the minions first then go for the boss
  • Each player receives an equal amount of Water of Life (No Trade) when the timer expires based on the total number of kills
  • The dungeon doesn't end when you kill all monsters; make sure to stay in until the timer expires to receive your Water of Life (No Trade) reward
  • The only reliable way to receive Honey Jar keys is on Atlantica Day; however, they will sometimes give away extra keys as part of other events. Even if it is an event dungeon related to Atlantica Day, it is accessible at any time on a cooldown of 20 hours as long as you or a party member owns a key
