v.154 – Sword Art Online Update Notes

I also noticed in the Freud's Journal event:

3-3. Arnello's Weekly Goals

Week 1
Sweet Tea Cake Damage Skin: Expires on 10/22/2014 00:00, Untradeable (If Zero: Can be traded once within an account)

Week 2
Hard-hitting Damage Skin: Expires on 10/22/2014 00:00, Untradeable (If Zero: Can be traded once within an account)

Week 3
Keyboard Warrior Damage Skin: Expires on 10/22/2014 00:00, Untradeable (If Zero: Can be traded once within an account)
Eight-Title Holder: Cannot be traded after use
Eight-Chair Bag: Cannot be traded after use
Master Craftsman's Cube: 7 days, Movement is possible only within the account

Week 4
Reminiscence Damage Skin: 30 days, Untradeable (If Zero: Can be traded once within an account)
Black Cube: 7 days, Untradeable

For KMS, the requirements for these were:

Weeks 1 + 2: Upgrade your ring
Week 3: Defeat Normal Hilla
Week 4: Defeat Black Warrior Mokadin and Assault-bot CQ57 (Elite Bosses)
(Also, KMS got a Miracle Circulator for Week 3 instead of a Master Craftsman's Cube.)

But those requirements aren't listed in our patch notes, so inb4 "were my free cube nd skin nxon u suk"

Turns out the new totems are not unique equipped, so you should be able to wear 3 of the best totem unless they patch that.

EXP Coupon Galore

Every weekend during October 1 - October 28

Requirement: Lv. 13 or above

This event is only available on the weekends during the event period.
Accept the quest '[Weekend Only] Double EXP Coupon Giveaway' through the 'star' event notifier on the left side of the game window.
The quest will reward the player automatically with 2x EXP coupon that lasts for 30 minutes.
The coupon will be usable until 11:59 PM Pacific on the following Friday.
The quest can be completed once per weekend during the event period.

Rewards:

2x EXP Coupon: Double-click to receive 2x EXP for 30 minutes. Usable until 11:59 PM Pacific the following Friday. Untradeable.

This is a good event!
Instead of laggy 2x events on the weekend, they're now giving us 2x coupons. The update notes don't say it but it is 6 half-hour coupons (which stack in one inventory slot, praise be!) that you can use whenever you like this week. They can be used in conjunction with the Freud Ring 1.5x (they stack additively, not multiplicatively, so you end up with 2.5x, not 3x, but that's still better than having them completely override each other).

Unfortunately, the one disadvantage of coupons over a server-wide event is that if you d/c you lose your 2x. Still I think this is an improvement, and hope they continue giving these out.

Looks like there's no way in hell I'm getting the rest of the Mystic Gate medals I missed last time.

Pre-Unleashed HP values + weekend only is ridiculous. Why limit it to weekends?

Oh wow, it gets better!
6 more coupons today, for a total of 12 for the weekend.
All still stacked up nicely in one slot.
Good job, Nexon!

As long as you don't lose your coupons when you DC/log out, then that's the best. But 1 char per account is a price to pay I guess.

When you use a coupon it's consumed and turns into a half-hour buff. If you disconnect or die you lose that buff. But the rest of the coupons remain.

Not sure what you mean by "1 char per account". You can get the coupons on all your chars, if you want.

Oh I misread. It's once per weekend, not once per account.

Some of the 2X drop/EXP buffs we got in the past used to disappear when you log out. I can't remember offhand.

Twice per weekend actually, 6 on saturday and 6 on sunday
They all expire on the 10th, wish I had known, just assumed they expired in 1 day

Also I have 400m for you, can get you pants aswell if you want

Oh, sweet. I hadn't bothered to test that yet because I assumed it was once per account.

Time to level ALL the link mules for my BW.

Apparently you can just buy your way to the Totems you want? lol nexon.

Ah, so it's just another one of those "one chance a day for free, gotta pay if you want more" events.
Makes sense.
For a moment there I was starting to think this was just one of those "grind all month for a miniscule chance at what you want" events. Nice to know there's always a P2W shortcut

Edit:
As people noted below, you get 10 of those "cash shop" things (they aren't even available in the cash shop, apparently?). Per day. Already got 2 Gold Doom totems (27 str, 10 att) which are better than my Sengoku totems. I'm now feeling very confident that I will be able to get rid of the hideous Sengoku generals effect entirely within a few days.
I didn't get a single "Dark" (top rank) totem, so it might not be easy to get three Dark Dooms for the highest possible damage boost, but I'm not that greedy.

Also, the items for this event drop at Mr. Lee's, which makes it easy to complete without any extra grinding. Only problem (for me, anyway) is that the event needs 7 ETC slots, while Mr. Lee can take up about a dozen, and I just don't have that kind of inventory space.

Final note: the one-day equip rewards for the individual quests don't count while they are equipped. Have to take them off to get the final quest to complete.

Finish all the quests, and you'll get the cash item.

10 of them btw.

Above beat me to it, but to add onto it, they do not have any effects when equipped.

Looks like they can come above the basic stats.

man you guy are so lucky... to even get gold.... cuz.... I think I hit the unlikiest 10 cuz I got all bronze and silver ..... LOL im srs
now I wonder how hard is dark level

Heads up that there may be an exploit regarding AEEs or enhancing items. I don't really know the details of it, though.

Basil seems to think there's a meso exploit as well.

How do you complete the main Dark Lords of Darkness quest?

I completed each of their quests and got their equips, but the main quest still marks them as 0/1 each.

You have to have the equips in inventory, so unequip them and wait for the quest to be completed.
