what do they mean by glowing devcat mark?

Also, the gift arrived at my feet, do i click it immediately?

Cuz i saw people who never collect, or seem to. so do i have to wait? Even when i click the gift, it doesn't appear in my bag/inventory....

click on it at any time before it vanishes. You can do it immediately after it spawns. AS for glowing devcat mark, just stand where most of the people are huddled together, you'll know it when you see it.

An AFK event that doesn't let you afk, thus a semi afk browser alt tab event. Interesting.

As for the "Glowing DevCAT mark", it's actually a big circle that says "â™¥ 2015 HAPPY NEW YEAR!"

Yup.

Worst part is that they didn't even bother fitting it in properly, I wonder when this event was supposed to go live.

This has got to be the saddest thing I've seen Nexon do *shakes head*

I blame KR Devkitty seeing that they are responsible for this shit.

Can we sell the coupons? cause at this rate the event going be over before i get anything. I only managed to get a gift once from this event. So its abit fustarating.

one day in mabi = 36 minutes irl.

it appears 3 times each day, at 9am, 12m, 3pm in mabi time

so for every 2 hr you are online, there are 9 chances that you can get it.

and btw, the coupons are useless, you only get a cotton candy which does a short few minutes boost up in hp +10 +1 dex +7 +1 and luck +5 +1

the gifts are mostly mp/hp/wound pots, which are useless, or mini hot air kits for the coupon. sometimes you get advance/group pheonix feather, rarely you get noa stones, super rarely you get ap pots.

so you can decide....

Also don't forget about the 25% training seals, the seals and the AP pots are pretty much the only reason to do this event.

The seals and AP are the best part of it and it's a great way to speed up inspiration training as I never did get that to r1 before the 2x training event went poof. Oh well that's what I get for getting lazy and switching focus to other games *shrug*
