Hello, several items stated in this article are missing from the event. For example, the jester monkey.

Why is that?

They will be available at a later date during the festival.

I'm curious as to why some of the items only available in the Stupendous boxes weren't shifted to grab bags similar to the ones with the Witches Festival.

There are too many different items competing for a drop chance in those boxes. I tested on the PTS, and over three days, I only got one of the new style pages. The event only lasts 7 days, and you can only earn 7 stupendous boxes (well, technically 8). Meanwhile, you can still get Cadwell pages, which are going on their third year, as well as the cherry blossom runebox (from the very first event), which you could hardly give away last year.

If they were willing to shift the skeleton marionette parts to the grab bags after just being introduced during the previous year's Witches Festival, I'd think at least the joke popper and noisemaker parts would make it to a grab bag.

I agree with this poster. Frankly there are just too many things: and in a 7-day event, they get in the way of the new things for THIS year.

To be honest, there are so many things that it shouldn't even be a matter of "grab bags for event tickets": there are in fact so many things that they should stand a chance of dropping in purple boxes too, as well as gold ones.

Sovereign Sow parts (all 7)
Festive Noise Maker parts (5 needed)
Joke Popper parts (5 needed)

TOtal number of tickets gainable during the event: 21

Even assuming you already have a Morpholith, and the 2 previous parts of the skin, you need to spend 10 tickets on the third part of the skin - which accounts for all 10 of the tickets you can possibly carry over from previous events.

Sow parts (7) currently cost 3 each.

1 shot *per day* at getting either a Noise Maker or Joke Popper part, and these are not even available in grab-bags - and if they were, you wouldn't have enough tickets to buy them. Even then, you might get a Cadwells page OR a Regal page instead.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Supposing it was, in fact, this year's Regal Regalia pages that you wanted...

7 pages. 7 days.

They can ONLY be purchased for 5 tickets each, which means you need 35 tickets. It is impossible to *get* 35 tickets - start with 10, gain 21 over the course of the event, even if you spend them as you gain, the maximum tickets you can spend during the event is 31. And you *have* to earmark 10 of those for the third part of the Morpholith skin, since this is as far as we know the only opportunity to get it.

If the Regalia pages can only be got at a rate of 1 per day... you still have to *get* that 1 per day. Which isn't going to happen given that it's competing with Sovereign Sow parts, Joke Popper parts *and* Festive Noisemaker parts *and* Cadwell Kitchen pages, for spots in that one box.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Conclusion: All the above should be available from purple boxes too.

You got it right that Daylight Saving Time started in most of the US last weekend, but daily reset is fixed and doesn't change with time changes, so it's 2:00 AM EDT.

We'll get this updated, thanks for letting us know!

How are you going to fix it? I would prefer it just stay as it is since it has been that way for so long. Kind of nice to have an extra hour at night much of the year! (I am in Texas)

Fix other QoL issues instead!
