Ew, it turns out that the gift event has ended. Going to be painful playing my Sorceress without those extra 10 inventory and storage slots. Shame too, because I'm finding Sorceress rather fun so far despite only being level 7. (Jesus christ, toxic spray is amazing, no wonder why that plate would be highly sought after.)
The edge of darkness is pretty hard without specific party setups. I don't even think it's currently possible to reach the final (24th) wave since the level cap limits what skills we can use, unless your group has ridiculously godly equips. Last time I checked, the furthest anyone got was the 19th wave. The group I was in reached the 9th wave, and all we got was some kind of fragment. I'm not sure what it's used for besides selling it for 15 silver. Not sure if it's even worth doing any more yet. This run took us like 10 minutes too.
I have one piece of advice: Ranged enemies are BAD news in this place. The statue you're supposed to protect is pretty fragile, I'd estimate that it goes down in like 25 hits. And there are groups of like 5 enemies coming in from like six different directions.
The carnival stuff is pretty amusing, and can be done solo very quickly. You get 6 tickets if you do the goblin rush or the boss rush, while you get 4 tickets if you do the treasure run or trap dodging thing. I haven't done the horse racing yet, since I think it requires a full party of 4.
I'd say doing it occasionally is worth it, since you can get epic gifts for 16 tickets each (and you can give them to an NPC without raising another NPC's aversion), and rare reset sparks for 24 tickets each. There are these random pouches that cost 20 tickets as well, one for gems, one for sparks, and one for gifts. I got a pouch for gifts and it gave me two epic gifts (some on the forums are reporting up to 4, although be careful about the randomness of the gift pouch, as one of the gifts currently cannot be given to any accessible NPC).
