Has this year's Jubilee event been too stingy with their rewards?

Asking for a friend.

No

Even though we used to farm the daylights out of this event in the past, we were basically exploiting it for nearly every motif in the game.

The wait time between the boxes reduces the possibility of getting practically everything in a new player's first Jubilee Event. Im usually not against players getting more rewards but this is one case where its one of those things that's meant to be acquired over a long period of time. The game IS meant to be played for years. This adds a little more balance moving forward between the casual players and the daily farmers.

No

On one hand, I haven't loot another Aetherial Cipher yet

On the other hand, I watch the motif market melt down, so an average box drop is good enough.

The new style from the Atoll dropped on the 4th try.
5 of 14 days, no duplicated drop of the new style from golden boxes. I like it.

I didn't check the older rewards personally, but my friends got some old styles and a sparkling horse without any real struggle.

Looks fine for me.

I was saying to my partner how great these rewards are. Im very happy thank you Zos.🥰❤️

Yes

Yet another event not worth spending extra time on

Maybe

I'm not getting a guaranteed dapper daredevil style page drop every day from my golden box? I've played every day and gotten the box every day, and I've only gotten a page from two boxes. One of the boxes I've gotten had the stirrup, of course, but that doesn't explain the other empty boxes I've had.

Addendum: Are we getting fewer furnishing materials, too, or am I misremembering?

No

I've been getting more than I can sell. 100% style page drop from golden box is nice too.

Maybe

One mat per box is not much. Yeah, I know there were too many in traders last year but I neither buy nor sell them, I use this event to stock up.

They could turn down the event furnishings drop and the old style page drop, I get way too many of those. Also too many purple provisioning plans and zero purple furnishing plans.

freespirit · April 9

No

The one event I actively farm and enjoy every yeat!!

Rewards seem the same and as most of my "farming" is crafting dailies, no box cooldown for me!

Have only not received an Aetherial Dust on one day and dropped a cipher today, my motif stash is gaining in size rapidly too.

Getting plenty of other nice mats also, especially the more annoying style stones used in furnishings. 😁

Yes

I got a few good rewards the first two days, since then nothing but old low level stuff. Made three toons hoping it would be better than last year after they nerfed it. Last since deleted them.

I think they nerfed it this year too but just didn't announce it after last years backlash.

You know the part where "if you roll the stirrups again after getting it, you'll get a Dapper page instead"? That part isn't working. It wasn't working during Jester's either. There's a thread with people saying, how after getting their Saddle during Jester's, they would get days where the box contained nothing.

So when you get box that has either a Dapper page nor a Stirrup, then congrats, you rolled the Stirrups a second time! (Except rolling it a second time just means you get screwed out of a style page.)

No

I think all of the free materials is always nice.

It's annoying having to destroy all of the furniture, though.

AcadianPaladin · April 9

No

I'm fine with the rewards. Love the transmutes. On the other hand, I'm saddened that the event furnishings are bound. After staging 2 or 3 or each in my 'warehouse', the only option I really have for the excess is to destroy them. I'd love to put them in our guild bank for others to enjoy.

Rufusstan · April 9

Yes

The lack of new things added means that the event is another one where the glorious box is the only one worth getting, as its the only one with anything new. The drop rate on motif pages is low enough that its easier to buy them. Also if the only new thing is yet another set of style pages, then its almost worth buying them after the event.

On top of that putting the collectable rewards into the boxes opens them to the vagaries of the RNG, which can be ok (in the Jester's event I go the saddle in my 4th box, at the same time I would have got enough tokens to buy it from the Impresario). This time, its been over a week and its not dropped yet, making me wonder about what might happen if the whole event passes without the main reward dropping. As things stand there is no other way to get it beside the glorious reward boxes.

Edit :Still can't spell

It might have something to do with finding the stirrup early.

I and several others experienced the same thing during the previous festival, and all of us had found the saddle fragment before. If you draw the fragment a second time again, you should get a style page instead, but maybe that is bugged? (Thread here)

This time, I haven't found the fragment yet, but got a new style page in every golden box.

I grind this event pretty much every year, both to complete my personal collection and to have things to give away to friends/guild mates/around New Life festival. It certainly feels like the loot table has been significantly nerfed when compared to past events. There's less useful materials for PVP and raiding, and the motif drops I've gotten so far have all been pretty old stuff with only a few things I didn't have. (50 boxes before I got something newer the other day...)

Even the older motifs aren't dropping as frequently, though, and most of the furnishing stuff I've gotten has been older blue patterns.

freespirit · April 9

No

@rufusstan the Impressario will also sell the stirrup next event.

The saddle and stirrup pieces dropping from boxes is like a cool bonus way to get them, they are(saddle) will be(stirrup) for sale at Impressario like they would've been in previous years'.

AScarlato · April 9

No

I got some good stuff for the effort.

Some lucky motifs I paid a lot for on the market that I can now resell. Some nice furniture plans.

Perfect roes and other mats.

All of this came from easy to get boxes from doing things I would be doing anyway, and not some daily repeatable quest that has gone dry.

Edit: Typos as always.

Yep, this has been my experience as well. Very few motifs (maybe about 10% chance to get one and they definitely feel weighted toward the older styles), a lot of purple provisioning recipes which I know on pretty much all my characters already, and plenty of OG base/racial blue furnishing plans.
