GARDEN OF SPIRAL STAIRCASE (9-18 March)
New event format for a hell event: That’s right! A next hell event is coming and, if you haven’t heard it already get ready, it’s PICK AND CHOOSE! The world must be ending, right? Well, it’s a bit more complicated than that, of course, because, y’know, hell event. So let’s get into that! (If you’re a more visual learner and/or this amount of words makes you go D: make sure you check Still Confused at the end.)
Event mechanics & currency: Despite it being a pick and choose, you’ll still be doing pulls but in this case you’re pulling to get the currency that you need to pick the pieces you want. Please bear with me as I attempt to explain this as it’s a bit convoluted.
So, when you do a pull, you always get a Black feather as well something random: gold, stamina, diamonds, or Wings, an event currency which always drop in batches of six. Each pull has a chance of dropping Wings, until you’ve collected a total of 360 of them. Wings is one of the two currencies that you’ll exchange for pieces of the suit.
On top of the pick and choose, there is also the tried and true hell event node/milestone mechanic which uses the Black Feathers you receive with each pull. You get a reward every 10 Feathers you collect. So the first node is 10, then 20, then 30, etc. For the first four nodes you’ll receive, in order, 50 stamina, 5 Princess Cards, 50 diamonds, and then a background. After that at every node you’ll receive 5 Stars, the other currency you’ll exchange for suit parts. The exception to this the nodes that are a multiple of 40. At nodes 80, 120, 160, and 200 you’ll receive a random minor suit. When you reach 240 you’ll get the Cloud recolor, at 280 the Apple recolor, at 320 the Ruin recolor, and then at 360 a light version of the background you got at 40 Feathers.
Cost: You will get one free pull a day, ending with you having 10 free at the end. Each pull costs 30 diamonds. Here’s some super important info about the cost of the suits. All following costs assume that you’re using the free pulls for just that suit, so please keep that in mind. [Night Banquet] (far left) and [Jealous Phantom] (far right) will each cost 2,700 diamonds. Due to the nodes, you’ll receive one minor suit and one background as well. Both [Fleeting Dreams] (middle left) and [World in a Game] (middle right) each cost 3,900 diamonds. Along with the suits, you’ll get two minor suits and one background from the nodes, as well as a background as a completion prize. If you want all four suits, it will be a total of 10,200 diamonds. You'll also receive a background and all four minor suits, as well as their recolors. However, there is one last node that has a light version of the dark background received at the 40 Feathers node. You have to spend an extra 300 diamonds to get it, bringing the total up to 10,500. For the cost of various combinations (like say you want [Fleeting], [Banquet], and [Game]), Iri has made a great breakdown in her step-by-step video guide (link goes to the specific spot in the video where she discusses this).
Suit notes: There are some suit notes to make but this has already gotten so long. I will make them on a separate post and update this one with the link when I’ve finished and posted it (which won’t be today).
Still confused? Iri has made a video guide to the whole event, allowing you to see the event in action along with her explaining everything as it goes along. The Squirtle Squad on reddit has created a post with both a detailed guide to the event and a google sheet which as a lot of detailed information and which you can copy and use to figure out how many diamonds the specific item(s) you want will cost you.
