Do All the Things!
=====
This section details all the fun things you can do to take some time out of your regular grind for experience and items.
=====
-Automated Events:
These are as they say, events that are scripted to work automatically without GM involvement. There are 7 different events. Five of these actually have you create a novice character to use to participate. Two others in have you use your regular characters. It is highly recommended you join whenever possible as a newbie. The prizes are extremely helpful in obtaining Zeny, Elunium and Oridecon. The link below links you to all the automated events, and if you go to each Novice Event page, you’ll find more information on rules, tips, and prizes.

Mini Muspel: Similar the regular Muspelheim that opens on Mondays, except two things. One, the dungeon is only open for 30 minutes, and two, the drops from Fafnir and Surtur differ. You earn prizes in this event based on the “Stage” you reach in attempting to defeat Surtur. Only recommend attending if you have a party as a newbie. If you get to go, the experience gained from the event is pretty insane. You'll more than likely get at least one level even in your high 90's as a non-transcendent character.

Mystic Tower: This event is like Eternity Tower, but smaller at only 25 floors. Each floor's monsters are different than in the normal Eternity Tower dungeon. You gain prizes in this event by reaching certain floors. This event is not meant to be taken on solo. Get into a party to gather some experience and level up. Worth going to when its available and you get into the party that creates the event.

Fabre Tame: The first of the novice events discussed in this guide. It is pretty obvious what the goal is. It's to capture as many Fabre as possible for prizes of course. You are given 20 Novice Fruit to heal with, and 50 Lucky Clovers to use to tame the bugs with. Your prizes improve based on how many eggs you capture. Prizes include the chance for Soft Feathers, Oridecons, or Witherless Roses. If you have 23 eggs you can even earn a Damp Card Album! Do not skip this event if you have any skill with taming monsters.

Novices VS Taini: This event pits you and your fellow Novices against the spellcaster, Taini. Your goal is to gain as many levels as possible in the 6 rounds you fight. The little bear spellcaster drops loot when defeated, and it might go to you. A treasure box or two from the event will net you a lot of Zeny in a short time span. Your prizes at the end are based on your level. You can use the Taini Stars earned from the event to pick up two pieces of custom gear, and an egg of Taini. This event is pretty fun, even if you're not interested in the gears given by Taini Stars or Scroll Package rewards. You should still go for a chance at the loot the spellcaster drops.

Poring Smash: When you go to a Smash event, get ready to kill a dazzling number of ‘ring event monsters. Kill as much as you can to gather all sorts of loot to keep or sell later. For the hat collectors out there, Smash Bombporing drops a decent hat of himself you can wear. If you defeat the Masterpoporing or Mastermarin at the end, you also earn a Poring Card to use for the Hatter NPC. If there's any leftover time, the special Lovering mob will spawn. They drop slotted basic gears such as Hood. Go to this event, it is worth your time. Many of the various drops you can use for yourself, sell to an NPC, or vend.

Wordzzle: This event has you as Novices essentially playing the gameshow Wheel of Fortune. Well, except instead of spinning a wheel, you hunt books down that contain various letters of the alphabet. The Bat Host will provide you with a category and the number of words in that category. Your goal is to figure out the word before anyone else. Even if you do not know the word, try to submit letters to the Bat Host. You earn pages (points) for each correctly guess letter, and for signing up at the start of each round. Prizes improve based on how many pages you obtained before the end. This event isn’t for everyone, but if you get decent at it, the prizes are very good. This is the only event that awards you with Battle Manuals. Use them to increase your Base Experience gain for a short time.

Zombie Run: Get ready to run like a chicken with its head cut off from them Zombies and Ghouls. Gain badges along the way, which in turn you give to the Event Representative at the end for prizes. The more badges, the better the prize. Do well in this event and it is a nice way to get Damp Card Albums for more cards. Not this writer’s personal favorite event, but it is easy at least to obtain 20 badges for a Zombie Card. Definitely go for that prize alone.

-Holiday Questing:
Throughout the year, the server will have special holiday events you can take part in. As long as your level is high enough, it is a good idea to go through them. Generally you receive some very powerful or useful gears from them. Plus you receive rewards such as Hatter Vouchers, Card Albums, and Experience. Even though you may have missed your chance for some of these items in the past, do not fret. You can always choose the option to get an older gear instead of the newest.

-Some events have a set time to attend if you want to participate. GM's announce these on the forums, the Facebook group and with random reminders from GM’s in game. These events tend to be the most varied and special due to their limited time nature. There are monthly events (Trial of Heroes and Fairy Auction), to other unique things such as the Ninja vs. Gunslinger competitions or even other special Light/Dark Allegiance Events. Decide on a case by case basis if you can attend or not. But try to go if you meet the requirements, as the best rewards tend to come from these.


-Forum Events:

Always check the forums for updates for events only announced there. Some of these include looking for the Crazy Merchant, Screenshot Contests, and Mission BBS’s.

-Understand that some events happen spur of the moment such as Monster Invasion. The GM’s like to be spontaneous and will host certain kinds of things for fun. Feel free to go if you are in game and not doing much else at the time. Monster Invasion events for example provide loads of easy experience and items. Some of the latter may be difficult for you to get early on otherwise. For example: in the past I've obtained items like a Dragon Vest and Lich Bone Wand .
