Axel: Best Items to Farm from the Anniversary Event

[axel15810]

Here's a video giving a rundown of stuff you should look to get from the anniversary event while it's active.

Also, just FYI I have a set weekly stream time and weekly raid hosting time. I stream Saturdays starting at 1pm EST on Twitch. And I lead raids starting at 3pm EST Saturdays on Thelanis (also streamed on Twitch). This coming Saturday we'll be starting with a run of the Titan raid. Also, I have a discord channel now. If you're interested in raiding with us on Thelanis, let us know through the discord. Can find links to all this in my linktree here: https://linktr.ee/axelalexk

The Chocolate Chip Kookies are decent as well, 2 Party Favors per Kookie.

That is pretty cheap for a Greater Vigor spell.

It is amazing how the Night Revels gets heavily farmed every year and this one does not. If I were the devs, I would add some better items--like augments or something. I agree with your list--thx for the tip about the hammer.

Devs should have a raise dead clicky or heal clicky. That would draw some folks.

Ehh...personally I just don't find it's worth the hassle. I would be more tempted if it was 1 favor per cookie. But there's so many other ways to self heal and relying on a consumable for it that can only be gotten one month a year is not something I find worth bothering with.

I agree the loot is worse in a pragmatic sense. No festive stat augment is a biggie. Some great cosmetics though. Raise dead clicky and heal clicky sound like pretty neat ideas. They also should just spice up some of the already existing items a bit in terms of power. A lot of them are pretty lacking.

I also think one of the big reasons it doesn't get farmed as much is the anniversary dungeon REALLY incentivizes grouping due to the objectives being spread out in different directions and behind different load screens. Night Revels is basically the opposite, its design incentivizes solo'ing. Farming out an item in the anniversary event by solo'ing it is way slower than grouping and does not feel very good at all. I'm OK with this personally but a lot of people aren't and like to solo these events, which I understand because of how strict the level requirements and penalties are to get max ingredients. The reward system makes it hard to group for max ingredients unless you are at cap (because there's a large pool of players at the same level at cap). I also really wish there weren't so many load screens in the dungeon.

I find it extremely boring how short it is when splitting up

I’d much rather it be longer and have higher rewards that popping in & out for minimal favors over & over
