    "takes the time to do all this stuff for all their alts, then they deserve all those chances at the instant prizes."
    literally the worst statement in Gacha and lottery industry

    say, a lottery company give 3 tries to each customer to try the lottery machine, one of them try to make fake several identities and get several more tries to get better chance to get the prize of lottery, if the other customer heard about this, there would be an outrage

    it is no longer about lucky winner, it is about cheating the mechanic, not effort

    I spent 300+ coins, I got one plat hammer. tons of full recoveries, 103 anniversary boxes(Only got one HS item, rest was junk) and tons of prof hammers I have nothing to use on.

    I had 3 mabicoins left so I said "Eh might as well suffer some more and get the box from coin shop"
    and I get the Romantic Rose Dress.

    So I think I am done with this event now.

    I dunno how many times I've rolled, but I've never seen anything higher than a 4 the whole event. Last time the Festia instant prize event was around, I at least got a 3, which IIRC was a 5m check. I'm not asking to get the grand prize, but at least give me something slightly better than potion gift boxes or full restore pots. I just rolled 150~ of them today.

    I stand behind my statement that effort should equal instant prize coins, without limit. (Just like a real life lottery where you can buy as many tickets as you want) I also think there should be no "free" instant prize coins just for existing or idling. The abuse and cheating starts with alts and bots getting instant prize coins just for standing around. Every spin on that wheel should cost someone, somewhere, 5 minutes of their life.

    IN AN EVENT THAT REQUIRES EFFORT IN THE FIRST PLACE
    NOT LUCK
    might as well says coming to lottery itself and waiting in queue are efforts (are not)
    if the instant prize coupon require you to fight, or play games, or looking for artifact running certain dungeon, then yes you spend effort to do those
    every spin on that wheel would only cost 10 seconds at least
    the most thing that differentiate real life lottery and this instant prize is the fact that this one IS TOTALLY FREE IN FREE TO PLAY GAME WITH NO RESTRICTION WHATSOEVER
    hence the reason why i use above example of Trial tries for customer

    eh, I like the prizes. Proficiency hammers mean now all of my stuff is gem upgraded, and instapotions are pretty handy too.

    Then again I'm a 'newbie' so I guess I'm not supposed to be able to enjoy this event?

    Don't know how about you, but i'm out of useful weapons i can prof after this event. After getting like 100+ hammers obviously people will be fed up with this reward. Full recovery potions can be obtained in few areas in permanent content... So yeah... Not one of best rewards as well.

    the drop rates for the prize boxes are horrible. spend around 20 Festia coins and only get maybe 5 or 6 boxes with a extremely low drop rate for totem and 3 homestead props. now I am hoping to win a few of the durability hammers before the event ends, the enchant helper fried the durability on my fleet feet. proficiency hammers helped quickly upgrade my chain blades and staffs so they are nice but getting tired of them now.

    I guess it isn't too bad. I got my chain blade to step 4 red upgrade stones and I'm making some spirit weapon repairs.

    Full Recovery Potions would be great if you could store them on pets. That is the one flaw that made them trash to me. Can't just leave 200+ full recovery potions in your inventory.


    At least they don't have a timer.
