Best thing about this event is that everything literally explodes into gold. 50k a run from Shadow Cast City.

I wonder why so many people are saying that exploration exp is also doubled. Everyone told me it was and I was just rafting, but my exp didn't double at all. Then I checked the notice and it only mentioned party and dungeon experience being doubled as well as skill exp/drop rates/AP. But no exploration exp. =( Not getting to 25 this time...
The EXP from exploration isn't doubled but the AP still is, so still worth it? I guess grind levels first, then move on to exploration, though..

Yeah. I was thinking maybe I'd get to 25 after all, but after grinding to 70 first and training alchemy mastery to 4. Still...I was so disappointed that it wasn't 2x exploration too, since everyone else told me it was. Ah well. Everything else is good enough anyway. But that's only if they actually get the servers back up soon and
hopefully extend the event by however long they took.

Yeah. I was really liking that I didn't need to procrastinate to keep up with this RB (well, not procrastinate as much). I guess double exploration exp on top of double combat exp on top of 2 ap for 1 exploration/normal level might be a bit much. In addition, exploration is probably easier to "exploit" with mods and marked maps and whatnot, and everyone would have been on top of each-other trying to do something so easy. Obviously, I'm just speculating. I'm not as smart as a lot of the people that post here when it comes to the game.

Personally I find rafting a lot faster than artifacts. XD I tried doing cor artifacts and pantay swamp artifacts too, but they were just really slow compared to rafting.

I do rafting too, but a lot of people that aren't into ranged/magic have trouble rafting as fast as I do, so they'll do exploration instead. I know Zid's good about grinding artifacts until he gets lazy. I'm slower at artifacts, better at rafting, but I'd probably do artifacts more if I had more space. It's really tempting to fill up my pets then turn it all in like I used to. The levels would come out of nowhere after a few hours of boring exploration.

The nice thing about artifacts is that you can semi-afk while doing it. Usually, if I'm doing artifacts, I just have my character run randomly around the map and either do some work, read a manga or play some other game. Then when I hear some beeping, I go back to the game, find the item and continue afking.

O.o I run into artifacts too often to AFK efficiently. XD

It takes me 5-7 Minutes to fill my inventory with Artifacts.
I can easily get to Exploration 16ish around the 4th run.
Its after Exploration 18/20 That it gets gruelingly hard.

I noticed when I was turning in his artifacts that he hit level 18 then didn't make it to 19 with what he had left. XD; Maybe I'll do artifacts for 18 levels then raft for the rest. Rafting after 18 is still pretty slow for me since I use just ranged but...Probably less likely to want to ragequit that way.
