Greatly Disappointed in this "event"

How OOO expects players to even obtain 1 5* helm from this update is beyond me. So the Black Kat drops 3 pages in tier 3 and has a very very low encounter rate. Each of the iterations of the helms requires even more pages on top of the other one. The prestige mission only gives you 5 pages and can only be done once per day. I even bought an elevator pass hoping that I could enjoy this little event, but no, that's not the case. I played for 4 hours and encountered ONE black kat. That's nonsense. F2P players aren't gonna get jack out of this are pretty much forced to buy an Elevator Pass if they want to get enough pages. I know the tokens are still in the game after the event, but anything can happen to the Tokens/NPCs seeing how vague OOO likes to be when approaching the community when it comes to content(example, the recent changes to Chaos Set, which could have been tested in the Test Server, but I digress.).

I'm guessing since the NPCs are staying after the event is over that:

a) The Black Kat stays in the game in the clockworks and retains it's very low encounter rate.

b) The prestige mission is removed after the event.

I was really excited to hear about the return of an old item. Only to have it behind this GRINDFEST you call an event. I haven't been this disappointed in a long while. Waste of money and waste of time.

We dont even have to try its always a good time =0

Solution to your problem:

1) Be in an active guild that is taking part in this event. Guilds are here to allow players to work together with a guild you are not hunting alone and invites are being sent to one another constantly.

2) Have a lot of friends online active who wish to help you this helps since they will send you invites and you can send them invites.

3) For those F2P be in a guild with a nice mist-well policy

4) Grind through using shortcuts and rushing through levels giving up if a key or a fight is needed.

It is possible a few of my guild members and a lot of others in the game already have a 5* hat not that hard some time is needed, and if you dont have the time, but have the money yay for you since you can just buy the hats!! If you do not have time or money well that is life <69.

If you look, there are 2

If you look, there are 2 things
Firstly, the tokens have no expiration date
Secondly, Nick said the event would come again
So probably, you aren't meant to get the hat, unless you do extreme grinding this time round
And you just got unlucky
In 1 hour, I met about 4-5 black kats, outside of the prestige mission.
