Mrbobomb

Even if you can't recall exactly, try and estimate based on what you bought (if anything). Stuff like: How many boss runs, how many crowns, how many recipes... stuff like that.
I got:
3 4* recipes
2 3* recipes
2 2* recipes
(40k cr)

about 5 twin runs done
about 9 JK runs done
about 4 snarbly runs done

A silversix crafted
A striker crafted
A vile striker crafted
(1000ce 6k cr)

I ended with 45ce and 4514cr

aaand... I'm not sure how much energy I used, but a lot less than I would have had to use!

Most of the stuff I did was runs and the recipes and crafts were done along the way. I did a few other gates too. Sooo... basically a "How much of your life did you waste this weekend" topic :P Post.

Shoebox, I chuckled a bit. Nice joke =P

I got a sealed sword, built it into an Avenger, built my Hunting Blade, got another 15 jelly tokens (Faust shall soon be mine =D), and got a handful more Bark Modules from Roarmulus.

Also with the extra cash left over tonight I managed to get my Blight Needle recipe via Blast Network games. Gonna build that and my fiery pepperbox next. ^w^

I managed to get the last 4*

I managed to get the last 4* recipe I needed to get to T3, buy enough CE (and then some) to craft 5 4* items, buy several more recipes that I plan on using later, and get enough crowns to fund the massive crafting spree I'll need to do. 5 days off from the game, here I come...

Missed all but the last day of it, QQ. Still managed to get quite a bit though, got three 3* recipes, upgraded a gun, and I'll use the money I earned to buy more CE when the prices lower a bit.

Between the half-priced gates

Between the half-priced gates making runs really profitable, and liquidating the money and CE on my alts, I managed to...

Build a Mad Bomber helm from a Fused Demo,
Build an Elite Bomb Focus module,
Build a Freezing Atomizer, Master Blast Bomb (with a random triple UV), Polaris, Toxic and Freezing Atomizer (oops...built on the non-UV mk2 with the toxic :\), Then drop some runs on my alts to get them all T2 clearance to get the two mist tanks...which I then converted into Fiery Vaporizers, to which I sold a CTR high for 150k, thereby paying for my SHivermist, Nitronome, and Venom Veiler recipes. I was hoping to parlay my money into a static capacitor, but it looks like I'm gonna have to grind that out instead. So, After all this, my main still have 40K in the bank, 35k in a bid, and if I lose that, I have a lower CTR firebomb waiting to be built. Everything fell into place pretty well. Too bad I blew that much CE...oh well.

All things considered, I think I made out pretty good this weekend. If there's a time to blow your wad, metaphorically speaking, it's when you're debating on the worth of the game as a whole and how long you want to stick with it. Now I've got tons to do....which is a good thing.

I went all out.

Im all spiraled out from this weekend. Must have played at least 20 hours worth O-o.

Anyways started with a little less than 2k ce, now i have a little over 5k ce(crowns and energy worth).

Haven't built anything yet cept my AoA cause i thought i would run out of energy during the weekend xD.

I will miss you...power surge weekend.

Did some jelly, some twins and a bit more vanaduke. Got my fang of vog and had fun with that.

I ended the event getting the double achievement. 0-29 in one go and 0-29 in one go without any deaths, in vanaduke gate! =]

2 Snarbolax runs, 3 Jelly

2 Snarbolax runs, 3 Jelly King runs, and made my first steps into Firestorm Citadel before the lag got really bad and I just quit after Charred Court.

I also upgraded to a Faust, Dark Thorn Blade, and Storm Driver. Definitely profitable enough for me.

Levi

I started with around 15k cr and maybe 30 CE but by the end of the weekend I had gained the 10k necessary to buy the Leviathan Blade recipe, the approx. 40k necessary for the 800 CE to craft it, and the 5k for the alchemy. I was able to get it up to level 5 before midnight hit (9 pm PDT is 12 am EDT). So in total a gain of 55k cr, quite good.

I also got Hardcore, Gold Survivor, Cradle and All, and Dauntless Delver. Good weekend =)

Got bout 20k~ :p

Got enough tokens to get the Snarbolax shield and enough crowns to buy the 3* & 4* upgrade of it. Last day of the surge weekend didn't go well for me, tons of lag and wasted EN on lifts... kept getting stuck ><'... Well it was still a good weekend~ Looking forward to the next 1!

I got a couple of JK and Snarlobax in. Other than that, just tried to keep jumping in to the more profitable 2nd halves of tiers and amassed cash. Upgraded shield and armour to 4*, and have enough cash and CE to get my help up to 4* and finally be able to enter T3. I could have done more with the power surge, but there's this thing called life....

I did 4 Lord Vanaduke runs [1 disconnect when we started Vanaduke (-.-)] on Sunday. I ran FSC many times before then, but nobody wanted to do Vanaduke.

I got a Divine Avenger Recipe and a Vog Cub Coat Recipe during the event. I also got an Elemental Cloak from a treasure chest.

I didn't got anything, cause for some reason I don't play on power surge weekends.
I always stop playing a few days before that, and then start playing again a few days after that.

Spent all my money on CE just before the event @ 5050. Sold all the CE at 5400 and will buy it back again when it drops :)

Ran JK all weekend and joined friends on the second half, got lucky and hit the terminal about half the time when I was just hitting "join". Ended the weekend north of 100k richer :)

Did a run down to Snarbolax for that one token I needed to get the shield for building towards a BTS. Shepherded some newbs along the way so I felt good about myself.

Saw a Striker drop on an arena level, rushed to pick it up even though I knew it wouldn't change the dice roll and... http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/542902241386157302/1B4A72BF848F1DB8902...

So...anyone wanna buy a Vile Striker? :)

I got enough money to roll

I got enough money to roll for uv's. I got undead medium on my glacius and...shock and poison low on my 2 vog pieces. I also crafted the snarby sword to 4* and ended with about the same amount of energy.
This time around I just did t3 arenas. Last time around, I just did vanaduke runs. It pretty much went for every 5 energy spent I got 3-4 energy back. I was soo exhausted trying to use up all my mist....

Did another Roarmulus run to build up tokens, got my backside handed to me with some friends on a Vanaduke run (Seraphic Mail not good with fire), and the Calibur with a med CTR I made with spare mist sold for 64K at auction, so that will translate into my five-star armor or helmet - or both!

Profitable, for sure.

I had to work quite a bit, so I wasn't even able to empty a mist tank on any of the days. So not near as well as y'all. Still, I did well enough. Couple JK and a couple Vana, some arenas sprinkled in.
