I need 3 battles to kill the boss, so I guess I'll have a LITTLE less loot than you

For now I got 1 soul ticket and few souls, but even then it's worth it. I still hope to get few more tickets before event ends. And I know that gear items are in reward pool just so they can take percentage of drops so the real shinies will have lower drop rates. Different games, but loot mechanics are all the same

but those events are the best way to see how much you progressed in terms of your overal power. Last time I needed 8-9 fights to kill the boss. It's nice to see actual progress. And I still aim to finish in top50 and get some koban. For a person who doesn't spend real money on the game some gold is always nice.
