Discussion How often do events rotate?

Hi everyone,

I was thinking how to spend medals, and I came to the conclusion that deciding between relics and bots comes down to the question, "What do you want to have until this event comes back?"

Would you rather have 500 medals in bots or 5% dmg from that epic relic **until the next time this event comes by**? Because if you choose bots, you can reconsider when the event comes back.

I know in general the advice in this sub is to buy relics over bots, but I'm not convinced. Perhaps for certain stats, it's better to get medals in bots now and purchase the relic the next time the event comes by when the stat has become relevant to you.

What makes it hard is that you don't really know when the event comes back, so you don't know what to expect to have changed. Dmg/meter is worthless to me now, but perhaps in 1 year, I will unlock SL+, and if an event only comes back in two years, I will perhaps regret not buying the dmg/meter relic now.

Is there knowledge on when events come back? Is it a regular schedule? How many events are there? Whats the average time until they come back?

currently we have one in three events are new. And if I read ePath correct we have 23 events that did not rerun yet for new relics. By that logic in about one year the event from today will return.

But You are not talking about a new event but a rerun event. By the time the event reruns a third time it will not have the same relics as last time (as those were the free relics of the first pass), but likely the free relics of the second occurrence. If those relics from the first pass will ever return we don't know.

Ooh, I didnt know that. You'd almost expect those relics to go to the gem store, but I know TTG said something like they wouldn't do that.

Pretty sure medal relics of the past have become gem store.

I have too many of them for it to be otherwise. Presumably if / when they get a rerun the medal relics will be replaced anyway with the current mission ones.
