• Friday, November 13 -Â*Storage Room 8 Slot Coupon
  
• Saturday, November 14 – Character Slot Expansion Coupon
  • Note: We are aware of an issue where if you have more than one of this item, you will need to use one, then log out and back in before using the other one.
    
• Sunday, November 15 –Â*30-Day Mini Yeti Pet. Plus select one additional reward from the items given Monday through Saturday!
  

If you obtain a Gift Box every day from Monday to Saturday, then on Sunday—in addition to Sunday's reward—you can select another gift! You can select one from all of the items that were given out from Monday to Saturday. You are not required to have received each day’s Gift Box on the same character in order to be eligible for the extra gift, but it does have to be with characters in the same world (multiple worlds in World Alliances don't count).

Oh, nice. No useless items at all this time.

Indeed.
The "pet" looks like a mount. Hopefully that's just a graphic mistake.
I wish they'd tell us the expirations on those gifts, or what exactly the Storm Growth Potion does.
But overall, a much better Hot Week than the previous ones.

Does that mean that it will work on characters over 200?

Does that mean that it will work on characters over 200?

I don't think so since it first appeared in v1.32 and the level cap was increased in v1.36. I would bet maximum level refers to 200.

Though, it could be that the potion didn't work on level 200 characters because there was no level 201 and there wasn't a maximum bound coded into the item itself, and it might work on 200+ characters.

Thursday, November 12 - BigWigs Storm Growth Potion: Untradeable, expires after 3 days. Cannot be used on Lv. 250 characters.

Who knows with Nexon though.

i suspect the power growth potion may still not work if you have used one before. so i will not bother with it.

obviously they should reset the one potion limit after each giveaway event, but for many hot days so far they have not and potions have not worked

Considering this event allows you to get two of these potions on the same character, they should post a use limit on the Update Notes, if there is one.

Of course, this is Nexon...

Only one useless item for me right now. Another character slot expansion on Broa is absurd when I'm already maxed out on slots.

Same (well, for Kradia).
And my storage is maxed as well.
But, not complaining. These are good items for other people, and some of my mule accounts too, unlike bits or spell traces that nobody needs.

Also note that, if this Hot Week is the same as previous ones, you must open the box each day, not just "obtain" it, to qualify for the doubled reward on Sunday.

The BigWigs potion only gives the exp needed for 199-200 (~1.7b) if you are 200+, not a full level.

Not even that.

From Nexon forums:

I strongly urge you to have some of your people test it before it's released at midnight-- it's not giving the right exp for level 200+ characters

exp before:

after:


This is a 1.2bil gain
Even though it tried to give the character more

Probably due to exp being a 32-bit int back when this potion was created.
I suppose it's nice that it gives some exp rather than a negative amount like it appears to be trying to, but still... Guess I'll hold on to mine for three days in the vain hope that they'll fix it before then (ha ha).

Yes, I was the one that (mis)informed him as that was my initial reaction. We realized that was false and concluded the same thing (overflow issues even though no combination of the exp, 1.2bil and the sum from i=0 to i=30 of 2^i yields that negative number)

An alternate theory is that there's a hard cap on the item which is why it gave exactly 1,200,000,000 exp since the exp to next level for lv 199 (200 was level cap when this item was created) was a little more than 1.1bil

(The item is legitimate as well)

Actually it fits.
The amount of exp it was trying to give was about 2.58b, which turns to -1.71b if you put it in a signed 32bit int.
But yes, the 1.2b definitely sounds like a hard cap.
Nice to know that whoever Sabina asked about this, didn't bother to check (either by running the game or by looking at the code) before they told her to assure the pesky users that it works up to level 250.

Aww here I was hoping to go from 222 to 224.

As expected, the "pet" is a 30-day mount.

anyone know if the pets is revivable? in particular does anyone have a living temp pet - if you do - does it specify whether you can revive with a water of life?

most of unrevivable pets say they can't be revived in the description. this one says neither.

EDIT 2: probably revivable but locked to your inventory, by comparing to cash shop offerings

O.o

I haven't actually opened any box yet, but people in my alliance said it's a mount. Odd.

Unfortunately many un-revivable pets don't say so until they dry up.

Edit:
From Nexon forums

So I skipped a day (so i wasn't able to choose another reward) and I got the yeti pet. However on another account I did all 7 days and got the yeti mount + my choice of another reward from previous days.

Nexon never ceases to amaze.
