    Thanks for returning royal academy crystals, this will help procrastinators...like me. :D

    I hope these will continue to be a recurring item, not only for me but also for latecomers.

    Terrible drop rates for the summons. Ran 2 shadow missions and 2 dungeons at a fairly decent level and bupkiss. If we're expected to run these with 8 full people just so 1 person can get it, then let us know. Treating it like "oh it's easy to get" really annoys me. Not everyone has 10+ hours of play a day to participate in an event.

    I've just ran 5 (hard difficulty) shadow missions by the time i'm typing this (and will probably do more) and haven't gotten anything yet either.. is it even able to drop or did we get epically pranked? lol

    edit: 9 times, nothing
    happy Cirno day everyone

    I ran a bunch of shadow missions on Elite, tried Avon hardmode missions, and then hoped spamming Alby might work because I don't have all day. Sadly nothing. Looks like yet another second title I'll miss out on. Really disappointing the drop rate is so low on this...

    found 2 tickets today while spamming SMs for stardust mats. May have ran about 40 total over the course of the day. Just ballparking numbers, I ran about 70% beginner level SMs, 20% hard, and 10% elite. I am 100% sure 1 ticket drop was from a beginner level SM. The other, im not sure, but odds are it was beginner level as well.

    I'll probably keep spamming beginner level SMs, since it seems like its been working out for this event at least.

    Here's hoping good samaritans just spawn the tickets in the middle of dunby 24/7 :P

    The Meow thinks that people who need 5-10 minutes to run a hard dungeon or shadow mission are being ridiculous talking about not having enough time. They don't really need much time. A common person spends the same amount of time to do a single dungeon as them to do five-to-ten runs. Bet you wouldn't even consider doing that if you spent as much time on a single run. Get behind and make way for those who enjoy the process.

    Ran like 10 Hard mode Shadow Missions, nothing... Then I went to try luck on Avon Martial Arts tournament and finally got one after 4 rounds. Wasted like almost 1 hour just for mere 5 daily star candy limit... This event is dumb.

    No, you are being ridiculous for thinking that running every day for god knows how long to get little to nothing rewards is totally okay. Also the way you write in role-playish manner is the most ridiculous crap you can see in these forgotten forums. Stop it, okay? People got better things to do than do tedious events just because for some items they want to have. You probably would say to just not do it, but who doesn't like free new items when it's available? Doesn't matter if it takes to run 5 minutes or less, but same repetitive actions really get to some people, especially when you have done this for years already.

    Is subject @Greta implying that they don't get the shadow missions' rewards? And by "god knows how long" they just literally meant 1 to 2 hours, judging by the intel. Like The Meow has said, awfully ridiculous. And what's that with wanting something that's available for free? You sound like a child who doesn't have control over their desires and cannot weigh price and options. And you were stating that you were not lucky enough with the drops, however, it took you only an hour to reach the daily limit. Sissy.

    It is true that the event is basically aiming at players who spend a lot of time doing shadow missions and clearing dungeons. But that doesn't mean anything that some people might have imagined.

    I think the main problem we're all experiencing here is we're trying to solo stuff for this when we should probably be getting in big groups and doing Erinn Martial Arts Competitions together. I know, it can be really hard to get groups going but I think it's our best bet. I finally got lucky and actually got a summon ticket from the first round today.

    Edit: Just got another one on the 5th round. I think I've used up all of my luck for this event now. lol

    Yes, i was making that conclusion already after few first runs, but i really don't like waiting and hoping to find anyone wanting to join running any of these, especially when Alexina is so dead and everyone are fishing now. Also there's a chance that others won't share their tickets because this is internet we talking about and you should trust no one here.
    I hate how Nexon on some weeks gives none or barely any events and when they slap many events at once all of sudden. This pattern is really bad.

    Not sure if you used a summon ticket yet (I just did) but it looks like these sprites really can take a beating and I got more than enough candies for the day (WAY too many - sad they'll disappear). I did it with my husband just to test it out and will be using them in the market channel from now on so others can get theirs, too. This is a great event for us all to work together. The more people who realize these really are meant to be shared I think more will use them openly for others to fulfill their daily limit.

    For anyone who doesn't know; When you hit the sprite, the candies go directly into your inventory so there's no chance they'll get lost on the ground. They don't automatically stack so you'll need to hit the stack option at the top of your inventory every so often if you don't have enough space.

    The Star Candy event and the Family Fishing event don't mix together. So, I am not doing the Star Candy event.

    Got no time to idle around and sit for a chance of it. I'm not on Nao you know lol.

    BUUUTT, today i got a ticket just after 10 rounds and when i went to Dunbarton thinking to use it there since i felt generous enough today to leave it in open place and guess what? On the way there i find someone else's spawned Sprite! Man, this must be karma.
    It just sucks that it's so RNG and when i feel too weak (got a vaccine yesterday) to do this, but i have to because this is limited time event.

    I'm not doing fishing this time (I still have hundreds of Boys Lost Boxes from two times back). So I'm spawning sprites in Emain West for you guys when I can.

    I seem to be having more luck standing next to the star candy npc's.

    As a courtesy to the community, please summon the candy sprites near the candy npc's. Thank you.

    I feel like the drop rate for Candy Sprite Summoning Scroll is way too hard to obtain. 41 Shadow Missions and Not even one scroll. I don't have time to do this even considering going to work and spend several hours doing Shadow Missions.
