I wanted to start out saying I got lucky and I very am grateful, thnx to all the GMs.
My intention is to write a quick guide for the community because after my experience, I realized that almost no one else had any idea what to expect / what was happening / how it worked because there is simply no first hand info out there.
The rundown of events with as many details as I can include:
I was in a party AoE xping with polearms out in seal of shillen. It was just two people with an out of party buffer and all of us wearing our pumpkin helmets. After one particular pull, I was looting and noticed an elpy spawn within melee range of me. I immediately rushed to type "trick or treat" into the SAY chat channel. I did and was the first to do so and at this time "Sace" appeared next to the elpy. She said grats and read off the names of the people in party at the time who would be proceeding onwards (this did not include the out of party buffer). Then she said "kill the elpy for your prize" at which time I one shot it and was awarded 1 Re-vita Pop into my inventory.
Sace asked us if we were all prepared, we responded yes and were briefly teleported to a room with a GM "Cryo" and a Warehouse banker NPC dorf. This gm congratulated us and told us the event typically required 20 inventory slots, informed us to make room and gave us a few minutes to do so. Once we all had room he asked if we were set, we responded in kind and were transformed into werewolves. He also informed us that all buffs would be lost at the time of transformation and would be returned to us at the end of the event.
At this time we all were given 2 minutes to setup skills from our skillbook. The werewolf had 2 skills plus a cancel transformation skill. We were informed NOT TO CANCEL THE TRANSFORMATION, because it would disqualify us from the event. The two skills consisted of a single target attack with a very high power, the other a temporary movement speed increase.
We setup our bars, were given a few moments to practice on a test elpy in the "waiting room." Once ready, we were told we had 2 minutes to kill and loot as many as we could and were teleported into a room PACKED full of elpys. There was no additional time to loot the drops after the 2 minutes was up, so be sure to loot as you kill.
Some things I noticed:
The elpys take very little to no damage from auto attacks of the werewolf. To kill them I had to continuously spam the attack skill.
All of your inventory items were greyed out and unusable durring the period when you are a werewolf.
The room was SOO full of elpys it was almost too difficult to navigate while clicking (maybe a next target button click would be best.)
At the end of our 2 minutes we were taken back to the waiting room, turned back to our normal selves and were awarded GM hour long buffs and had our Vit. replenished to lvl4. We said our thanks and were teleported back to our original hunting location.
So that is my experience in as much detail as I can remember, I hope it helps some of you make the most of your werewolf hunt.
What I saw was EWS, EAS, EWA, EAA, BSOE, BREZ, high lvl 80 LS, SP scrolls, vita pops, KE, and 5mil adena. I don't remember the quantities but they were all more then 1.

Also firestones
If i remember it was 23 Vita pops rest of stuff was 1 - 5 each.
I guess it pays to be legit so far 3 clannies have gotten the GMs to show up. So not bad if you figure on avg. 100 people a day that is better then 1% of the gm drops to our clan lol.
Like they say THIS THREAD IS WORTHLESS WITHOUT PICS.
And it will remain that way untill pics of what you got are shown :p
As 2 minutes is a very short time period, I didn’t bother wasting it lagging out while taking SS’s of my System Chat to prove these drops true. Believe me or not I could care less just was trying to help the community.
what drops did you get?
Sadly I didn’t get any icarus weapons, but I did receive:
5x SP Scroll High Grade
6x EAA
3x EAS
2x EWS
3x BRES
1x BSOE
1x Fire Stone
1x Giants Codex Mastery
22x Revita Pops from kills +1 from the first elpy outside the event
1x High LS 80
1x High LS 82
1x High LS 76
2x S Gemstones
25x S Crystals
and approximately 5 million Adena
If you take anything away from this post, learn from my 120 seconds so you don’t wind up stumbling around auto-attacking elpys, or trying to click navigate and getting stuck in a runaround loop.
Making millions of adena / second, why waste even one?

Selected with 1hr 10 minutes to go on the event....way to cut it fine.
My drops included:
2xEWS
6xEAS
6xEAA
HGLS76 + 80
25 vita pops
6 SP scrolls
2 BREZ
about 5 mill adena
50 KE
2 Fire stones
I think that is it from memory :)
don't really care about ews.. please just gimme the freaking vita pops!!! I spent
300m+ buying apigas to get those "not so good pops" in the last event.. surprisingly I got gears worth more than 300m. wts uselss icarus hvy arm 250m, pm crimsonaeon in chronos
Nice to see our alliance got something, even if I didn't personally; what I did get however, was 17 hours of XP in those 3 days that I wouldn't have done normally, as I was out XPing my spoiler outside Goddard (no elpy).
When the GM's first announced "if you spam T-o-T then you don't participate, Goddard town was a sea of shouts...." :D
