After playing through the event for the first time I'd say it's... alright. While crawling through waves of mobs isn't exactly the most thrilling activity out there, the limit of one battle per day prevents things from getting too boring too quick. And unique skills of servants are pretty damn awesome no matter how you look at it. When it comes to the rewards, the title gives 15 max damage so I'm interested in that. Invisible sword looks pretty cool and depending on its repair cost it might be useful as day-to-day weapon.
Also, Nuadha theme once again. It officially is the most overused song in this game.
15? Where, from the collection book? Haven't gotten one of those to drop yet. What stuff do you need to gather for that book?

What book? I'm talking about the title you can buy for a token obtained for completing RP with all three servants.

That's 12. Basically a slightly worse blood master but with 1% movespeed added. When you said 15 I was excited because I thought there was an alternative to master shock.

Aw, why I saw 15 there... All the less reasons to get that title.

I rushed into this event so quickly--I didn't realize that I would care so little by the third day... orz
5x AP event, anyone?

P.S. "The Greatest Servant" is a regular title, not a second one. I wish I knew it before wasting a token.
Ohh zz that's good to know I guess.
And I guess it's probably still too early for anyone to have done it yet, but what do you all think comes out of the weapon scrolls that are in the Token shop? Just [S]Invisible Air[/S] Caliburn and Archer's Bow or a summoned attack or what?
While it's not a lot, I'm happy that at least part of what I really like managed to get into this game. I'm probably going to make the effort to collect everything from the event. Still, I wish there was more Cu Chulainn.

Ok, well that aside, does anyone know what the book DOES reward? (and what goes into it)

I find extremely hard to play as archer, i have been playing since 7 am (server time) till now and i still have not made a single progress (i fail not long after 3rd wave starts)
For me playing with archer is petty much this

playing archer was really easy for me, but that was because ... well.
range.
i stayed in the center for almost the entire time and aimed almost exclusively on the enemies attacking the crystals.
saber on the other hand was ridiculously hard to use. her 'excalibur' skill took way too long to reload, and the direction you could use for her other special was horrendous. i got zerg rushed ten minutes in...
the dragons were SOOOOO annoying though, since of their tele skill and for the fact they lack knockback.

- For Archer I'll stand back and fire off his spiral thing at enemies when it's on cooldown, using his ult when it resets too. This seems to avoid most aggro.
- For Saber I'll dash through enemies with her invisible air when it's on cooldown. After loading you can aim with the mouse cursor after a second or so. It's sort of like Lightning Rod in that you need to move your mouse for the game to pick up on the new direction.
- For Berserker, Idunno' proper tactics, only did one run to 9 with him. His ult skill seems meh though.
In all three cases, the extreme splash hurts me more than it helps because it aggros things, and screw Bone Dragons, seriously. They'll happily aggro you instead of the crystals and are tanky so as you're chipping away at them other things behind them get hit and aggro you due to your splash.

If i play on the center to windmill mobs, i get down by the dragons because i am too close, if i stay away from the center i get aggro from anything else, just using UBW to get rid of the skeleton ogres, both of the skills seems to get aggro of surviving enemies, then i become the perfect meat for them, meleeing those who are after me is a waste of time, getting killed once is more that enough time for two of the four barriers to be destroyed even when have been keeping the mobs fairly at bay (second wave), i have never felt so much urgency, not even when playing as saber/berserker and seeing my character use skills towards empty space.
It doesn't help that you aggro and get chased by mobs before they show up the !!
Nevermind, i managed to do it just now
Now... to get that supposed title that you can get if you don't die even once in that mission

I highly doubt there's a special title for not dying. It's just a fake rumor.
As for clearing, I never had any issue. I mostly stick to the middle using the short cooldowns when big groups come to clear them out. When dragons spawn I run to smash them. With Saber I can combo her rush into a smash while the dragon is stunned for a quick kill. I drop everything to get those dragons, but if my short skill comes off cooldown I might throw it back at the group between dragon hits. As for the ultimates, I never use Berserker's except for the boss. Saber and Archer I use when ogres spawn. Saber I back off to the other side of the crystals and aim through it to them, Archer I wait for them to come near then back to the other side and fire at them so it splashes everything in the middle. Other than that just windmill stuff or go whack/smash a skeleton ghost. The short cooldowns do most of the heavy lifting. It's just taking out the dragons as they appear.
On a side note, the one time I had to redo it was because I broke the event. I somehow died during the Gilgamesh cutscene, so I ended up stuck standing there invincible and unable to move. Gilgamesh kept attacking trying to hit me but nothing. The quest was stuck. Had to restart.

I only did event yesterday but man!! this event is fun and all if it not for the lag.
But with lag I'm still fight to the final scene with Gilgamesh and yes... My Saber bugged up at that point. All I remember was before the bug I tried to use her NP (Excaliber) but got attacked and freeze up. I cannot move or load skill or do anything. Got wreck by Gilgamesh a few time then realize that I could just use NP again, and viola!! IT WORK!! after firing the Excaliber I can move my Saber again and the fight continue.
Today I gonna tried Archer now.

The info on the wiki states that fighting Gilgamesh is optional, you could stall him and still win automatically, i actually did see something strange when played as Berserker, Gilgamesh finished me off before ending the mission and the final dialogue was petty much only "(!)" before the mission ended

Yesterday I managed to get Gilg to 25.x% and then fire off Archer's Blade Storm Sakura Sword Abyss Whatever and the cutscene started and then the last two hits of it did 1s so he's probably effectively invincible past 25% or whatever so I guess don't be stressed about trying to win his fight.
