One of them is probably in the Ninetails Strength event

Also, not sure what to do with refines this week. If the wish credit event is coming up soon I'd hold them, but if it's going to be another month I'd really like to use my refines...

I'm hoping it'll be like the new seal scroll rebate event where they can show up less than a month apart from each other. Otherwise I'll be sitting on these refines for a while.

Would be nice if they could add the other refine event too, but I doubt they can/want to. But since this event is running from June 4th - 7th, maybe they can have the other one from June 1st - 4th so people can choose which refine event they want?

I'm hoping that they see how many people prefer the old refine event and maybe, just maybe add it in. To their credit, they DO actually modify/add events to be nice, like extending the Shinobi Feast event we just had to last the whole week to sync up with the platinum recharge and give people more time to do the arena quests.

Having both refine events at once would be amazing, but I'd settle for having them split up if they want to do the half week thing. But just giving people the option would be a nice gesture.

The event is useful for most players, it just changes how you use refines for the event. New players can just use low refines for the easy value. Other players should try to just split up their refine use on stuff they want to upgrade and level them all evenly, stopping before the bar gets too high, until they hit the maxium rewards for the event. You only get wish credits if the item upgrades, so by spreading out your refine use to level them all to 20-30%, you're just setting up all your equips for the wish credit refine event. If you hapen to get crazy lucky and proc an upgrade early...then that sort of makes up for the wish credit you lost.

The main danger level is 6 -> 7, because a "lucky" early proc can make you lose out on advanced rune wish credit.

EDIT: I'm mostly just annoyed that I need to keep waiting to spend my refines, since there's no reason for me to spend them after getting max rewards. Most of the people complaining don't seem to have actually thought about splitting up the refine use and are mad that they lose wish credit by thoughtlessly spamming all the refines on one piece of gear like you do for the other refine event (which is not how you should do it for this new event).

The way the other refine event works is you get a fixed amount of wish credit towards the next level when you finish a refinement level up. So during this event you ideally want to get everything up to 30-50% and then wait until the other refine event comes around so that you can finish of the refine level up to get the wish credits towards the next level.

Basically as long as you're spending refines but not leveling up during this event you're losing out on nothing. And if you unexpectedly happen to get a lucky level up from a very low %, you won't get wish credits but the amount you saved from good luck partially makes up for it. The main thing is to be careful leveling up refine level 6 items because 6 -> 7 gets you advanced refine rune credit.

There's no downside to using refine runes outside of the wish credit event unless it causes your gear to level up. If you don't want to use any refine runes during this event that's fine, but you're probably going to end up missing out on some free advanced refine runes.

You have a piece of gear at refine level 5 at 0/70
You use 20 refines during this event and collect a few advanced refines
During wish credit refine event you use 30 more refines and it hits level 6 with wish credits
End result: level 6 gear with wish credits ready for more refining, 50 medium refines spent, a few advanced refines gained

vs

You have a piece of gear at refine level 5 at 0/70
You don't use any refines during this event
During wish credit refine event you use 50 refines and it hits level 6 with wish credits
End result: level 6 gear with wish credits ready for more refining, 50 medium refines spent

The idea is to try not to level up the refinement level of any of your gear during this event, just spend runes to increase the bar. The main part I'm trying to emphasize is "there's no downside to using refine runes outside of the wish credit event unless it causes your gear to level up".

I'm not sure what I'm assuming other than the amount of refines it would take to level up, which was just to illustrate that the only thing that matters for the wish credit event is that the level up takes place during the event.

You're looking at this event the wrong way because you're trying to compare it with the wish credit refine event. This event is not a good event to increase your refine level. This event is a good event to prep your gear for when the wish credit refine event comes back.

I'm not sure I can be any clearer on this, but what I'm saying is try not level up the refine level of any of your gear during this event, just spend refines to fill up the bars and get the rewards and save the rest of refines for when the wish credit event comes back.

Is that pack in the lower left the charm material pack, like last time?

The first post is edited and Nagato is gone now as a weekly strong ninja.

Incoming pitchforks lol

I think it's just something they do to showcase which rare ninjas you can earn for the week's events. I'm assuming it's to get people hyped up for the week as well as a way of letting people know who to expect. Sometimes there are other rare ninjas that can be earned but are not featured (like Hidan in the event cycle we just had), but they might have messed up this time and posted a ninja that we can't earn this week.

tl;dr: It's not related to the weekend chases, it's just who you can earn from the week's events

EDIT: I'm not on the HK server, so I'm just basing the no Nagato off of what people there have said. He very well might still be offered this week.

The mixup was probably an honest mistake, but I feel bad for the people who decided to get Hidan from time limited recruitment on the last day when they saw he wasn't going to be in lucky board :(
