OK, I have a couple of questions with regards to this event as this is my first time encountering it. During the event, is it possible to play rank missions containing fiends for a chance drop of Fiendish Glyphs, instead of farming the arcade?
Secondly, if one were to go through the clockworks, is it possible to encounter and fight the Tortodrones without spending 10k cr on a Fiendish ID Card?
Thirdly, if I have a Fiendish ID Card and invite 3 other players for slots, how much crowns should I ask from each player to join me for the prestige event? Can slots be sold just like during the Black Kat event? Of course, each slot for the Black Kat event cost up to 4k CE each.
Thanks and hope to receive some clarifications from the old players here.
BTW, I played a prestige event and only received 2 Ancient Shells on Elite. Is this normal or am I just unlucky? What is the maximum Ancient Shells one can receive from playing the prestige event on elite? Is it 8? (4 x 2) Ancient Shells?

I think so. I think that all fiends have a chance of dropping glyphs during the event.
Secondly, if one were to go through the clockworks, is it possible to encounter and fight the Tortodrones without spending 10k cr on a Fiendish ID Card?
No. You can fight tortodrones only in that special mission.
Thirdly, if I have a Fiendish ID Card and invite 3 other players for slots, how much crowns should I ask from each player to join me for the prestige event? Can slots be sold just like during the Black Kat event? Of course, each slot for the Black Kat event cost up to 4k CE each.
Yes. Ask them for their fair share of the 10,000 crowns. Unless you want compensation for your glyph farming as well. I recommend against that.
Because you have to fight the tortodrones many times to get the loot, another strategy is to gather four players for four tortodrone fights, having each player completely pay for one fight.
Of course, you'll want to do all of this with trustworthy players. Caveat emptor.
