Theyve either fixed whatever the glitch was, or my situation is different from those of you who arent getting bonus rewards from battling. A few minutes ago, I defeated a Crazed Druid, and got one. It ended up being a Blazing Fireworks Nyte eggling (Dont remember if it was 1-Vis, 2-Vis, or 3-Vis.). The different situation I was referring to was the fact that a few Patriotic events back, I reached the High Priest rank (Im currently working on the High Warlord one.), but in spite of that, am still doing the task for High Priest- nurturing Sylestis.

Oh, I have gotten rewards from battling named and elites, not every time, but enough. My Sylestian Service Rank 9 Grand Protector bar is not going up at all. I have now defeated 570 enemies and my bar is still at zero.

Even if you need to do this over multiple patriotic events, this would mean hundreds of hours of grinding non sylesti enemies. Impossible for everyone who isn't able to take multiple hours a day in the current state. I hope it's not intended and Krin accidentally entered a 0 or two where they shouldnt be X'D Completing the event task should bring you at least somewhat to the middle of the bar imo :')) (Also, hope that your hands are doing better today!)

Geez yeah I didn't even think to look at my battle record. I've done 30k battles in my time playing. Even if every single battle was a 3 enemy battle (which it certainly wasn't) that would still only be 90,000 enemies. And for Rank progression it would be considered even less since sylesti enemies aren't included in the count. Idk what the actual point system numbers would be, so maybe that would make it to 250k points, but wow it would be way way too much battling for this.

I def agree with you that the event task should reflect the rank progression. You don't even have to finish the 6000 nurture rank to fill the Caretaking Rank 8 bar. And the release task takes it's rank 8 to halfway.

(and my hands are much better today! still taking it easy on the grind tho, I've only run quests and the elites a couple times)

There was an issue with the tracker specifically for Lost Grove battles and the Sylestian Service progression. This issue should be fixed. Additionally, now through Tuesday, July 5th, players can earn double the progression from non-Sylesti Lost Grove enemies. This is a temporary bonus to try and offset the bug over the past 2 days.

Regarding the reward boxes off of Elites/Named/Dungeon Bosses - only Dungeon Bosses and non-Dungeon Named are guaranteed. The rest just have a chance to drop it. Elites have a small chance. Dungeon Named have a high chance.

I apologize for the mishap. I will also look into giving players a bonus Dungeon reset this week for the Lost Grove - probably would wipe resets after Thursday. So, players can issue a reset after tonight, clear it by Thursday night, then have the chance to reset it a second time and clear it again. Just make sure to use your week's reset before Friday to get a chance at a second reset.

Thanks! I was a bit concerned with the amount of battling I was doing and how no progression was made-was thinking I wouldn't be able to complete it in time!

I just realized this, I'm glad you found out. >.>

I noticed that I was progressing through rank 7 at more than twice the rate with nurturing than with battling.

Thank you for the extra grace period!

I'm not sure if I misunderstood this part: "For every named defeated within the Lost Grove, you will receive a 2-Visible Blazing Fireworks Themed Pet with a guarenteed Restricted Wild Trait!", but I've defeated four named so far and none of them have given me any pets, so I was wondering if that could be clarified a bit?

Sorry about that. That was left over text from last year's event. I have updated it to reflect the changes made to this year's event.

well, it was fun, but i'm probably mostly done with this event. I will defeat enemies to finish 8 rank of warlord (i'm at half of that rank) and that is all i can do. I finished Priest rank, but cant finish that druid one, so 9th rank is and will stay closed to me.
I'm not hoarder so i dont have any pets to releas

Everyone's Orb of Memories cooldown should be reset for this week if it's already been used. Also, just a reminder, the ongoing Diamond Sale and Diamond Progressive Bonus Event will end after Sunday, July 10th!

The rest of the event festivities will still remain active through July 24th.
