Go All to Pieces—The Mog Tablet Quest Unearthed! (05/07/2009)

[Ziero]

I love how people assume just getting one Tablet, any Tablet, is enough to get them the ring. Because it totally doesn't say different Tablets give different rewards.

Also this:

However, should the set be restored during "Adventurer Appreciation Week"—Tuesday, May 12 at 1:00 a.m. (PDT) to Monday, May 25 at the same hour—all eleven powers will be released simultaneously!

...concerns me a bit. Does that mean we only get the full eleven bonuses during AAW if all tablets are found within one hour of each other?

As for how the timer works, my guess is that the Week of buffs starts when the last tablet is found and ends in exactly one week from that point. If it was Tally based, then if you found the last rune on a saturday, you would only have a day of buffs. So it has to be on it's own timer. Like Assault or Campaign Op tags.

I hope the next expansion takes us to the ancient Moogle Kingdom. Fuck the Mithra homeland or the Far East.

THIS.

[Lusaris]

mmmmmmm exp bonus!

[Mizango]

Kick ass!

It means that you have from 1am on the start day until 1am on the final day to pass them in to get all of the enhancements available.

No. They were just trying to say it in a fancy way. We have to find all 11 tablets by 1:00AM PDT on the 25th.

Edit: Beat to it.

All I have to say is:

Ugh.

Ah, ok. Then it's just SE bein funny with their wording and screwing with my head again.

If they have a .dat everyone's going to be changing them to giant glowing happy faces like that chigoe .dat.

It only appears when you walk near it, so a dat change won't help you spot it from farther away.

When you do walk near it, the words "Mog Tablet" appears over it like an NPC. There is a screenshot of this in the OP. If you're blind enough miss that, a giant glowing happy face isn't going to make much of a difference.

Special Rewards
A twofold treat awaits the astute adventurers who discover the tablets! Players will receive Kupofried's Ring—a precious relic left behind by the legendary king himself that is said to possess prodigious powers—as well as an additional reward corresponding to the particular tablet they reclaimed.

Each tablet will grant a Kupofried's ring.

[Jubeekabee]

but be forewarned—mounted adventurers run the risk of overlooking the concealed treasures...

Guess using a chocobo is out...

You have a couple things wrong here.

First, about the quote. You need to look at all of the quote.

However, should the set be restored during "Adventurer Appreciation Week"—Tuesday, May 12 at 1:00 a.m. (PDT) to Monday, May 25 at the same hour—all eleven powers will be released simultaneously!

When a "--" is used it indicates an internal ellipse, an interruption in the statement without modifying it. In this case it is saying that if the set is restored during the Adventurer Appreciation Week then all will be released simultaneously. The "at the same hour" is only modifying May 25 and is only indicating the close time for the event. So your concerns here are unfounded. You just need to find all 11 tablets within the AAW.

Second, the post also indicates that the rewards are two-fold, you will get a Kupofried Ring, and an additional reward dependent on the tablet you turned in. Evidence here: "A twofold treat awaits the astute adventurers who discover the tablets! Players will receive Kupofried's Ring—a precious relic left behind by the legendary king himself that is said to possess prodigious powers—as well as an additional reward corresponding to the particular tablet they reclaimed."

All I have to say is:

Ugh.

Don't worry, I am sure they will make a bot that will let you find the tablets!

PS. You had to know this was coming.

PPS. If you are just going to blurt out your false bravado about how botting is cool, etc. Just save it, I don't give a fuck.

PPPS. <3

Regardless of whether or not people "deserve" another exp ring, this tablet event will only reward people for using apradar/other 3rd party program and luck. If it works how we think it does, it's a pretty terrible implementation.

[Seraph]

I am actually very impressed with the implementation for this event. Not only does it last 'forever', but there are rewards for all levels of participation. People who actually hunt the tablets get (probably) nice exp rings, and even if you don't find a tablet, or don't even bother, you get some nice benefits.

I know people are QQing over not automatically getting a second EXP ring, but damn. How is this not completely badass compared to other lame events, or the grind of ACP? I personally always loved the 'server teamup!' style events.

It's sad when an event is better than the mini-expansion.

Hahaha so true... from now on there should be a disclaimer at the end of all events, regardless of their quality, reading:

*At least they didn't make you pay for it.

[Carmi]

YES another EXP ring!

And how come no one is talking about the MOOGLE STATUE!

It's going to look great with my faf statue :3

Agreed. It's really sad when people are given something for free and then they complain about it because they wanted more. If SE hadn't released anything at all, no one would be complaining or crying, but now that they've essentially given you a weekly chance at an anniversary ring and free signet bonuses for doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, everyone's butthurt. Just doesn't make any sense to me.

maybe this was the plan all along, to lower everyone's expectations. wotg missions are looking better already!

edit: ^ people are indeed complaining, but thats probly just because instead of getting these rings for free, we have to do what sounds like a completely retarded quest with way too low a limit of rewards (if indeed only 11 people can get a ring a week). but hey, at least we didn't have to pay for them!
