  I have done a ton of these (I have been trying to run down my 47~52 tickets that I keep having), but sadly I'm not on East to go with you :gloom2:
  
  Good luck on the last ~2 days to everyone!

  Spent like 3-4 hours grinding this last night to get Wings.
  I have them now, and I sort of want to grind 60 more coupons for the boots, but this event is really boring and I hate it.
  
  At least make us grind something fun, instead of boring Tower Defence type missions.

  I quit, too much of a hassle. Plus I only have like 30 tickets if I count the last two days. So I don't think it would be enough for wings.

  Tickets = What you need to get into the mission
  Coupons = What you exchange for the rewards
  
  Just thought I'd point that out.
  
  Also, 30 tickets might work if you abuse the 2x drop glitch. 6 boxes per run, average 2 coupons per box, 12 coupons per run. 360 total.

  Why do some seem to dislike this event so much :what:
  
  I find this rather enjoyable, being one to like Tower Defense games.

  [SPOILER="Spoiler"]Honestly, everyone will have another chance at these event items if they missed it this time.
  
  If they really wanted to get them faster, stock up on those (often given away) Divine Blessings and NX Tickets

  Ah well, what I can do is give the ones that I do see get a boot to the head.

  I just dislike it as I never found Tower Defence games entertaining. Not everyone likes them.
  
  And Vindi isn't usually 'good' about recycling event items. The Devil Horn Headbands for example weren't reused this year, with Nexon opting to use the Mummy Shroud. There still runs a chance that Nexon won't recycle them.
  
  You either need luck boosting items or Divine Blessings anyways to get 3 boxes a run. You get 2 per run on Hard, and you'll need a luck booster to get to 3. NX tickets are of course another option, but they also cost 600NX each. We could probably do the math for if the tickets are more efficient then buying the runes directly, but I don't feel like doing so.
  
  Also the time investment is absurd for an event.
  1 round takes 7 minutes to finish, 8 including boat relaunching and all.
  1 round also provides 3 crates, averaging 6 coupons per run.
  
  270/6 = 45 runs (on average).
  That's 6 hours.

  None of that excuses using illegitimate means.
  The thing that costs the most in coupons is supposed to be hard to get, and 6 hours isn't hard at all with ~13 days to do it in.
  
  As to disliking the event-game itself: there is no problem with that at all; I feel a little fortunate that this kind of thing is my cup-of-tea, so even after doing many runs I'm not bored
  
  But I do hope they will recycle items more, for the sake of those who missed anything the first time around :chomp:
  
  Did they ever have the wings (and as far as I know a Black version) in a previous event(s)?

  They did have wings, but it wasn't black, and only like, 1 player out of the whole game got it.
