Event Tips

For High-Level Players:

700 GS Pattern perks on weapons (Flame Attunement and Life Stealing) may not be ideal for high-level PvP or PvE. If you're already beyond 700 GS, you might want to focus on other rewards or save your resources for better gear. Use the pumpkins during the boss fight to break his stamina bar quickly. This will maximize your damage output during the DPS phase.

For Casual and New Players:

Always try to join a raid group for the Balazo fight to increase your chances of getting credit for the kill.

Use Full Constitution will help you survive the boss’s heavy AoE attacks. Focus on picking up pumpkins to deal damage rather than relying on your weapons. Participate in Town Activities, wearing costumes and searching for treat baskets in towns is an easy way to earn extra rewards.

Pumpkin Mob Strategy:

Pumpkin mobs drop pumpkins during the Balazo fight. Collect these and throw them at the boss to deal stamina damage, initiating a high-damage phase. Stay Close to Healers: This will help you survive the boss's powerful AoE attacks.
