To my remaining question:  are there any talismans we can use to speed up the drop rate of banishing items once you're in the event location? In the last week it seemed that I was hardly ever getting those items, no matter how many access passes I collected and used. That's what made me wonder how people could banish thousands of monsters to the 542ish or so that I managed to do.

As for my goals, I'll be content to be anywhere above 140 (too close to 100 would make me play FAR too long to compete with the silver chest seekers...and I'd probably try, so best not to go there). This event seemed to bring alot more people into the fray; it was hard to stay anywhere near the bubble.

All the best! Happy gaming.

Chloe,

No. There are no talisman that affect the banisher drop rate. The drop rate is 60%. Has been for a long time. Since each drop is a chance event, you will see streaks of wins and loses just like a coin flip. But over a large enough sample size it works out very close to 60%. Last event I had 1500 points at 40% Master level, which works out to 60.6%.

Use 60% drop rate in calculating how many plays you will need to achieve your goal. Don’t freak out if you have slow streaks. Not every 10 plays will produce 6 banishers. Do the math for plays and passes you’ll need upfront. Make sure your goal is achievable within the amount of time you’ll have to play over the event month. Don’t overreach and get stressed out. Play smart, play happy.

Yes, this event was very competitive. All the chest boundaries were higher than the last few events. The highest scores in this event were around 3000 points which is about 1200 banishers. Yes, that’s a lot but it’s not “thousands”. But it’s twice the effort I put into the event, so I am impressed. (I finished 9th.)
