    Can these opal style drop from the vendors mystery coffer as they do with the standard shoulder outfit styles? If so they are likely to be tradable I’m guessing.

    I totally agree it is not worth it. That's what I was trying to say, but it might not have been clear.

    I do think some of the weapons look great - particularly the Ilambris opal staff and bow. But the helms and shoulders are largely ugly and I wouldn't use them.

    Engine Guardian is the only armor I could see myself using. Agreed that some of the weapons look petty good.

    Welcome to the club. It's much more relaxing here, not seeing everything around you as a scam "forcing" you to spend $. ;)

    I think the healthiest way to go about this event is to pick your battles. I already have the one item I wanted (Ilambris staff) so I'm quite satisfied.

    Are they sellable from the key vendor?

    I have 2000+ keys and will make a killing selling them

    SWEET!

    IF they are saleable from the key vendor... maybe this is what ZOS also figured would happen?
    Don't say ZOS never did anything for you! LOL

    This is cosmetic-only stuff. You won't get a Master Writ calling for opal styles, so it doesn't affect your game other than visually. So nobody needs it, and having multiple options - especially ones that don't involve real-life money - is OK with me. I don't care about the price of something I'm not buying.

    This entire event was a trainwreck.
    3-4 days for the 50-key shoulders on top of the 5 tickets per weapon style. This event is not suited for such a short timeframe. An event like this would have been way better off being one of the two-weekers.

    Not that it matters if they're cancelling it anyway.

    Only?

    There are 28 pages. Best case you start the event with 12 tickets and can earn 15 more over 4.5 days of the event. That's 5 total pages purchased, leaving 23 to go (plus two extra tickets left over). If you want to continue to buy them with event tickets it will cost you 23x5 (-2 for the extra ticket) =113 tickets x250 crowns per ticket= 28,250 crowns which is the equivalent of $205.41 if you purchase the 5500 crown packs at $39.99 each. That seems... rather expensive for some style pages.

    Edit: typo fix


    OR....

    You can look at the Big picture, earn the stuff you can at this event this year.... which will cost you $0....

    And get some more stuff NEXT year.... at an event that Maybe.... just Maybe.... after a year of work will actually have Some of the bugs removed.

    Maybe.

    If you have some NEED to own absolutely everything - I have a hard time sympathizing with your expenditure of money. I am NOT criticizing you spending your money wherever you please, just saying I don't wanna hear your complaints after you spend it. No one put a gun to your head, so to speak.

    Evberybody has their own choice.

    I think I invented a new word there :#

    Cool story.

    I was trying to point out the absurdity of the way this was set up but I guess that wasn't clear. I didn't plan on trying to chase all of these and have no intention of spending any crowns on these style pieces.

    It may be irrelevant now that the event has been canceled, but there's also no guarantee of the the style pieces returning next year. This has happened for events like the witches festival, but it doesn't look like the frostvault pets from last year's undaunted event are coming back.

    I'm actually fine with the cost.

    Don't think of this as like the other events where you have to complete everything.

    This is unique in the sense it is not, and should not be met with the mindset of completing it all in one cycle.

    It will incentivise people to collect keys throughout the year for this event.

    the trollking staff looks pretty cool.

    From inventory screen:

    FWBFVGO.png


    This one shows, that it illuminates the environment, player and walls:

    For comparison, if it is deactivated, the walls are dark:

    CCTuuEK.png

    Price: 400k in guildstore. Meanwhile prices for the few remaining styles are 700k to 1.3 mio.

    I got the opal ilambris bow too, for "just" 200k. Obviously sold before the interruption was announced. Maybe the best style (had the non-opal already from crownstore, the flames look great, and the opal style makes them look mystic. Just Sillistrix has a similar nice flame-effect).

    I actually sell engine guardian opal daggers on xbox EU in mournhold.
    They look nice and I fight with me if I shall consume it myself, but have the ilambris swords already and love those more.

    Sweet I have like 600 keys that have been burning a hole in my pocket.

    I guess this is the reason for that price. ZoS introduce a "key sink", probably they will bring something in future and they want to get rid of some keys.
    Because I can!

    the Ilambris opal bow.

    Like the staff shown before, it illuminates the environment, you just don't see it here as it is daytime. I like the vibrant blue colour.

    50 keys?? LOLOL!

    Fortunately I don’t care about collecting style or motif pages. The day I stopped caring was the day they started charging 1200 crowns for a single character’s extra outfit slot. Since then the entire outfit system has been dead to me.
