    Lightning Returns Rewards

    I know most of you will probably complain about this, but here goes.

    We need a way to get all the event rewards without having to get to level 45. Some of us just don't have the time to put into it. I've been playing as much as I can since the 4th and my main character is only level 35. There's no way I'll get to 45 before Monday.

    I've looked back over past events and this is, so far, the only one to require such a ridiculously high level in order to get all the rewards. What's up with that?

    the same event happened months ago. people have had since then to level up. and there was another thread just like this back then too. also, if you can't get 1-45 in the time of the event then idk what you are doing to level cuz it's really not that time consuming.

    35 to 45? It can be done in 2 days, let alone 4 months since the last event.

    or else you did it wrong.

    Or maybe he started playing less time ago... For example, on his "Join Date"; Feb 2014. Lvl 1 to lvl 34 in 18 days seems ok for a casual player.


    Anyway, TheRogue, nothing will be done. If you have much time on weekend you can still do it. lvl 34 to 45 shoud take no more than 15-20 hours, but I understand that is quite a lot.

    But if we were to take that rule in to account we woud never have high level events. Or the woud have to last for months... I don't know, I don't see a great problem with no being able to take them.

    35-45 can be done quite easily, it was the 45-50 part that seemed like forever to me.

    here are a few suggestions that may help speed up the process without doing just fate grinding.
    *note* it has been awhile since i have not received my 50% bonus while leveling so i may be off a little

    1. go to town and buy the cheapest food from the vendor(boiled egg?) and always keep them in use
    2. each dungeon that opens should be ran as soon as they are unlocked & ran at least once (you get the most exp while being @ the starting level)
    3. complete your hunting logs
    4. complete your GC logs
    5. pepper in some fates (always be in a party and run to the next before the one your on is finished if possible)
    6. do your guildhests once a piece for their bonus
    7. do your roulettes
    8. always log out in a sanctuary

    good luck and i hope you make it to 45 before the event is done

    But you can get already every reward before 45. Except the body gear.

    I missed the last event. Was far too busy working and being a parent and spending time with my SO. I had a little bit of time to try to squeeze in some extra gaming time time around, but I still have to work and be a parent.

    Apparently everyone expects that MMO players are single, jobless, and with nothing else to do but play?

    Well, it seems you're quite aware that you won't be able to obtain everything in the game then.

    It's blunt, it's harsh, and I'm sorry to say it but the only way for you to get the last piece of gear is to use this weekend to hit 45. With the proper guide (some players in this thread are trying to assist in that regard) it is entirely possible.

    Unlike most events, this event came around for the 2nd time. I understand you were busy the first time around, and such things do happen. Ultimately, these things boil down to your choices and your choices alone.
