The Raven 2 appreciation festival event series that kicked off in August is finally drawing to a close. Most of the festivities wrap up in the early hours of September 16, and the special coupons distributed via the appreciation festival attendance event expire at the exact same time. Expired coupons simply vanish into thin air, so make sure to use them before it is too late. Today, the focus is on a rundown of tips for the final stretch of this appreciation festival season. Look through the main text to check out the intel, and wrap up the appreciation festival season properly.

Q. A brand new event was dropped right at the tail end of the appreciation festival?
A. The Chaos Tower mission should be a breeze to knock out.

First off, let us calculate the schedule for the appreciation festival event updated on September 9. The events rolled out are the [Appreciation Festival] Monster Hunting Mission and the [Appreciation Festival] Guild Unity Mission, and the tasks themselves are straightforward. However, they involve assignments that cannot simply be polished off in a day or two. This is precisely where meticulous schedule management comes in handy.

The ultimate goals for the Monster Hunting Mission assignments are eliminating 30,000 monsters and completing Special Force missions 30 times. If the Special Force level is high enough, the maximum number of Special Force missions available to take on in a day is 8. Therefore, clearing the mission entirely takes 4 days. It needs to be kicked off no later than September 12. The rewards include 8 Appreciation Supply Boxes and 2 Special Force Appreciation Boxes: Normal. These are items that have been handed out in abundance throughout the appreciation festival events so far.

The goals for the Guild Unity Mission are 'Guild Attendance 3 times - Guild Donation 10 times - Chaos Tower Challenge 10 times'. Guild attendance is available once a day, and guild donations can be made up to 3 times a day. Consequently, this takes about 4 days. Since the Chaos Tower grants 3 free admission tickets daily, one might easily assume it would also take 4 days. In reality, that is not the case. If the mind is set to it, it can be cleared in a single day.

The reasoning is as follows. The Raven 2 Chaos Tower event missions are broadly split into 'Clearing' and 'Challenging'. The former counts as 1 completion once a single floor of the Chaos Tower is conquered. The latter focuses purely on participation, so clearing it is entirely optional. Whether the character bites the dust or the time limit runs out, looking at the results screen is all it takes. On top of that, free Chaos Tower admission tickets are structured to be consumed only upon clearing a floor.Taking this as an golden opportunity to push for higher floors in the Chaos Tower that were put off until now or experimenting with skill combinations is a solid play. Climbing to higher floors yields rewards, which is fantastic, and failing still achieves the mission anyway. Either way, without burning any free admission tickets, it is a prime chance to test out fresh combinations or bag those mission completions.

Q. What else needs a final check for the appreciation festival event?
A. Let us secure as many remaining attendance rewards and appreciation supply boxes as humanly possible.

During the time left, any unfinished appreciation festival events must undergo a final audit. Since the day rolls over at 5:00 AM in Raven 2, the remaining time as of September 10 stands at 6 days.

The most crucial rewards are the special coupon provided by '[Appreciation Festival] 21-Day Appreciation Attendance' and the lucky exchange ticket given by '[Appreciation Festival] 14-Day Lucky Attendance'. The special coupon grants 'Stella on Day 1 - Runes on Day 7 - Familiar on Day 21 - Weapon Resonance on Day 21' (Note: Day 21 handles the weapon resonance). The lucky exchange ticket acts as a crafting material, utilized in the 'Crafting - Event - Lucky Festival' tab. Gathering 10 exchange tickets crafts a Lucky Festival Package, while 2 craft 10 Amplifiers of Stigma. Let us calculate how many more rewards can be hauled in before the festivities draw to a close.

Since the 21-Day Appreciation Attendance offers random boxes like the Appreciation Supply Box and buff potions as sub-rewards, maintaining consistent attendance is a wise move even if no further coupons are secured. As for the lucky exchange ticket, gauge whether collecting all 10 is feasible, and if pulling that off seems doubtful, invest them into crafting the Amplifiers of Stigma instead.

As a quick heads-up, the special coupons and lucky exchange tickets evaporate alongside the conclusion of the appreciation festival event. Therefore, everything must be spent prior to the event's end. Raven 2 opened a time-limited crafting recipe utilizing special coupons with the September 9 update, so keep that in mind.

As for alternative rewards, the Appreciation Supply Box and Special Force Appreciation Box: Normal from various event rewards hold significant weight. The former packs High/Top-grade/Blessed Summon Scrolls, fragments, and coins. The latter features a unique structure. At first, players choose between gold and a Normal Challenge Box, with the challenge box randomly granting currency or a higher-tier box upon opening. The top-tier prize is the 2026 Ancient Vault. It is packed with legendary and hero guaranteed summon scrolls, blessed/hero selection boxes, and legendary fragments. Securing and cracking open as many of both boxes as possible is the name of the game.

Missions handing out the Appreciation Supply Box and Special Force Appreciation Box: Normal mostly task players with monster hunting, looting items, and using Appreciation Celebration Cakes. The previously mentioned Monster Hunting Mission and Guild Unity Mission also dish out both items. A sufficient quantity of Appreciation Celebration Cakes can be attained simply through attendance and event participation. That leaves hunting and loot farming, where the strategy for lower-level hunting grounds or dungeons should aim for 'quantity over quality'. With precious little time left until the event wraps up, hitting the required numbers for mission completion trumps sheer hunting efficiency.

Q. So wrapping up the event is all that is left?
A. Hold on, the sales period for the pass activation tickets is running out fast.

Raven 2 is currently running the 'Season Pass: Appreciation Festival - Premium Pass: Appreciation Festival - Event: Appreciation Festival Pass'. Season passes are split into free and paid rewards. To claim the paid rewards, purchasing an activation ticket with currency is required. The paid rewards pack blessed single-choice costume familiar summon boxes, festival treasure chests, and Special Force appreciation token coins.

The Premium Pass consists entirely of paid rewards. The core reward is the Legendary Ancient Vault, which houses a diverse array of items including blessed, hero, and legendary summon scrolls. The Appreciation Festival Pass can be activated for just 1 gold via the Raven 2 'Shop - Goods - Special Force Appreciation Festival' page. Thus, contrary to the label of paid rewards, it is actually a free reward. All three passes terminate in the early hours of September 16. Checking how many more rewards can be scavenged in the remaining timeframe is essential. Additionally, pass activation tickets stop selling a day early, so make that decision without delay.
