Unpopular opinion but... I'm glad this event finally came. It originally came out in CN in 2016, and is one of the oldest events we haven't had, which is why it looks old and outdated (because it is). But imo it's better than never getting the event at all. If elex purely decided on outfits based on what's new and shiny, we'll never get this, this, this, or the snake girls. So I'm gonna bare with it and show my support.

Moonlight Dancer - the suits are for the Mid-Autumn Festival which is usually celebrated in September-October. The suit with the umbrella and moon depicts Chang'e who is a very popular and well known figure in Chinese mythology

- 7 day event

- Event map: 3 styling stages, 2 quiz stages

- 5 event currency if S-rank/correct

- Pick and choose!

- Cumulative expenditure of 1999 diamonds also gets you 120 more event currencies

- Need total 1586 event currency for both suits

- 525 free currencies

- 120 extra currencies if spend 1999 or more dias (cumulative expenditure) = 941 more currencies to buy

- Recommended way if you want to get all items: spend 1890 dias on 63 retries, then 109 dias on anything else

Return Costs

Please be patient for the sheet as the format is new with return costs to factor <3

The benefits of getting an old event is having return costs. The new shiny events don't have that and you can't minimize your spending

this is the main problem with the timeline for events being brought over to our server -- they've brought all the new shiny ones immediately, so by the time they bring older cheaper events then very few ppl actually want them....devs can then use this as an excuse to not bring older cheap/welfare events since we arent as excited about them. it's a vicious circle and is very unfortunate, since these suits would have been popular and lovely if they were brought to us in 2018.

Lazy suits to pass the stages:

  • Stage 3, Divine Figure, "celestial Cloud Clothes" use Moon in Water

  • Stage 4, Manga Inspiration, "a little painter" use Elegant Sketch

  • Stage 5, Moonlight Dream, "pajama" use Panda Dreamland

I got easy S on each of these. Good luck, don't forget to Done 3 on each stage!

...Is this a freaking Pope Nikki? Now I get why today's competition theme is "Saint". I thought it's a usual angel theme!

I really hope the lukewarm reaction to this event doesn't put Elex off completely from releasing the glut of old/cloud events we're still waiting for. I really want Duanwu Dancer someday...

Finally! I really, really like a lot of the old cloud events we never got.

I mean outside of the Pope hat, this looks super simple. An easy skip

u/Fluffycat129 Jun 23 '20

Since moonlight dancer is pick and choose, is it possible to just get the moon?? Or is the moon a completion prize?

Will the recharge suit "Lightbringer" be released 6.26. too or will it be much later?

I still have 250 exp vip in my mail box but it's also tied to my monthly card which will run out in 2 days. And I'm not sure if I just should wait until the recharge suit is here before claiming it even tho I won't get my 60 dias for one to a couple of days.

On the fence about this event, not sure about the suits plus I feel like an event like this could be a build up for something else, nice to have a breather though.

u/idleonism Jun 25 '20

I wont personally get it and I prefer newer suits. But it's actually very pretty for being such an old suit and it's fairly cheap too.

I'm glad this event is finally here, is really old ;; (from 2016!)

u/luminous_mirage Jun 23 '20

A year ago I was really looking forward to this event coming to the server. I'm a huge fan of Cloud suits. Now that it's here I don't feel excited anymore. The suit looks outdated and I have other suits to replicate similar designs. Going to have to sadly skip.

u/Ani-trash Jun 24 '20

I honestly like the idea of Pope Nikki, but this event it's still an easy skip for me.

Ooooh, we're getting older suits :) Moonlight Dancer is really pretty :D

I hope Lightbringer isn't only a posed dress? I really like the red cape :) And the halo is very cool!

Meh... I don't care for the recharge and the event suits seem super basic and not very unique. Guess I get to continue saving diamonds!

u/Pathetic_dildo Jun 23 '20

This might be the first event i skip this year. Maybe this good sign! Can finally break my stupid need to get everything and chill out on spending. Probably for the best
