It's starts on the 7th, more info to come on the 7th. Search through this forum ther are a couple more threads with more discussion it it. Someone in those threads linked the newsletter go find it.
From what I read you can get one 10min transformation per 12 hours per account. A NPC will port you to the island and you have 10 min to find and open as many hidden chests as you can for sacks. There are 6 types of sacks.
#1 Reward S Armor, Stage 13 or Stage 14
#2 Reward EWS, Attribute Stone, or Secret book of giants
#3 Reward EWA, EWB, BRez, or Life Stone
#4 Reward EWC, EWD, BSoE, or Bracelet of some sort
#5 Reward Fruit Cocktail (buffs)
#6 Reward Juice (buff)
There are also Rare chests that will give you a wolf mounting shadow bracelet.
So after we play for 12 hours we get to go there for the chests? OK, sounds like I'm leaving the dwarf up overnight!
you dont have to play or be online for 12 hours to get it. You can only buy the item from NPC every 12 hours. So you buy it at 1pm you have to wait in or out of game till 1 am to get another.
Anyone know how long the event will last? It looks like I'm going to completely miss this event.
It looks like it will be 1 week event with NPC staying for 1 week after for turn in's. There gonna announce the dates march 9 according to that email.
March 7th not 9th. If thats true and you only have 10 minutes then having a fast character will be a benefit. Hmmm might have to equip my AW and use him. I hope the sacks are not tradable otherwise I see them selling in Giran for 250mil LOL. Anyway it does sound like a fun event. Sounds you would want to go to the island during non peak hours to have more of a chance at getting the chests. Whats up with the bunnies though no mention from the person who translated that.

It wasn't finished yet. :( I was having a problem with my web tool and am not sure how it got put up before I was done with the page. It's finished and up now. :)
I only have one worry and that is the drop rate on the pieces. Hope it's not insanely low like usual. Running around as a bunny for 10 minutes wiping out treasure chests sounds like fun though.
Ok in follow up, the rabbit part sucked but i was solo and someone else helping to spot the chests will hopefully help in the morning.
the drop rates are very good for me, lvl 57 orc in necr. I'm getting 1 every kill. and the returns are nice.
1hour 20min
4 sacs total
1 EWC
1EAC
3 Agility juice (lvl3 agility for an hour)
5 Fruit cups ( very cool combo of one hour buffs for a fighter
5 mixed Fruit Cups (same, just for a mage instead) or these could be vice versa
All in all i'm pretty happy with it so far, hopefully the rabbit part will be easier with a friend or two.
ive gotten a lot of buff juices, 2 eab, and 1 midgrade lvl 70 LS, 1 person in my ally got a firestone and another got a divine stone or holy or w.e
edit : the rabbit system seems lacking you get 40-50 pieces per transform, you get more than that per buff round if you go xp. IMO the rabbit part should give you alot and soloing should give you less. but im not complaining, i find the rabbit part fun.

You call that nice return? 4 sacks, that's 200 pieces. Sell them even only at 50k and you get 10kk. Unless you're on an empty server which has not enough demand of them.
If you have a good party, probably it will be more efficient just to grind normally. Tresure Sack Piece have dropping an average 1 over 4 per mobs. In my case for a full buff, I have an average of 32 Treasure Sack.
YAY I HAZ JUICE.. k heres my drop rates i have a lv 20 toon i keep perma low for manor and i find the 1/2 hp mobs outside gludio delightful i got about 150 parts 1 hour. 3 #4 bags 2 #5 bags and 4#6 bags
from #4 bags i get 3 ead's 1 per bag...
from #5 bags i get 5 of the mage and 5 of the melee cocktails
from #6 bags i get 3 evasion,3 power(might effect 3), 3 haste and 3 mp consumption juices. btw juices last 1 hour ^^
Oh and shadow agathion bracelets someone got one here's what it does. It's a shadow item gee go figure, and it lasts 500 min summons like some pet like bracelets from fortress's lame imo.
TBH id rather have 5's and 6s then 4s lol, If i find anything cool ill post it. later back to grind
Breaking News um... cocktails dont trade but #5 bags can just fyi so you dont open like a **** like me >__<
double post ftl bear with me o.O
Well it appears nc's maintenance this morn for "Daylight savings time" has nerfed the drop rate significantly... been grinding about 40 min now and hmm 20 treasure sack parts.. Give us a cookie slap our hand and take it back Gee how nice of yall <_>
Yeah new drop rate sucks today, same area, same mobs as last night and instead of 1/1 drop rate its more like 1 out of 4 kills or worse.
nice addition to grinding though, but still not helping me get A grade :(
as for selling the peices the stores ive seen on sieghardt are buying at 5k each
From about 4pm-2am I was getting around 200 an hour. Great incentive to grind event reward are ok. I definatley like the buffs as juices instead of scrolls, as far as I can tell they are the same lvl buffs.
I have tons of juices and frut cocktails. Stopped opening #5 sacks going to sell them instead.
Let see as far a anything else I got.
3 EAD's, 1 EWC and 1 EAB
shadow braclet for the fairy
mid-grade life stones LVL 55 and 61
Dark Stone
So far thats it. Now im wondering who broke the game, 2 hour down time whats up with that.
March 7, 2008
Servers 1-8 will be brought down on March 9th, for maintenance at 1:40 AM Central Time (8:40 AM GMT +1) to make necessary daylight savings time-related adjustments. The expected downtime is approximately two hours. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
