Absolute Ring Event How it works
So far from what I can tell is you are allowed to miss [b]TWO[/b] days at any time during this event. The extra day (+) is for those who only have +9 rings or lower. Currently anyone who has a +10 can't upgrade that to a +11.
Anyone who ends up with a +8 ring by today (after upgrade) are UNABLE to receive the absolute ring.
[b]Theories[/b]
If you have a +9 ring by the end of today, and [b]WON'T[/b] miss any ring day events after then you meet the 31 upgrade total. Anything less than +8 by the end of today will [b]NOT[/b] grant you the Absolute Ring even if you perfect the next two.
The + day is for those who have a +9 ring or lower to upgrade it on that + day, no other use than that.
According to Gaga "What is an Absolute Ring" it says to gather the rewards, he wants you to bring him the Rings SO, DO NOT UPGRADE ANY CLEAN RINGS FOR STAMPS.

[quote=mega3113]Nexon finally does something we want.[/quote]
Actually I wanted them to fix the bugs in the event, not change the rules in the middle of the event.
They didn't want to bother fixing the bugs so they took the easy way out and just edited the text in the game and on their site.
And as far as how the event is going to work regarding the conditions for receiving the Absolute Ring, NO ONE KNOWS FOR SURE.
The explanations from Nexon have been so confused it sounds like even they don't know.
Since they didn't test the event before they put it into the game, it's uncertain how any of it will work out in the end.
In other words, we won't know how it works until after it's over.
I'm pretty sure you need both the amount of stamps and the rings. Say if you didn't participate the event and bought all the final forms of the 3 rings then that means you cant upgrade it to absolute because didn't stamp any days.
so now what? do we wait till nexon to fix this? or is this consider our fault?
[quote=lazershock]Now the question is does he want 31 UPGRADES, or 31 stamps, if he just wants 31 stamps you can probably just use 3 evolving rings of any level (though most of them would probably be fully upgraded to +11 tradeable)
Edit: read your theory at the top of the page, that seems to make sense.[/quote]
Nexon is stupid for interchanging "stamps" and "upgrades".
I was thinking the same question as you asked. If they just want 3 rings of any level, someone could technically go on a mule to make level 1 of all three rings, then swap those with the fully upgraded ones on a main. That way you'd still have 31 stamps, sacrifice the level 1 rings to get Absolute Ring, while keeping fully upgraded rings 1,2,3.
I bet Nexon didn't expect anyone would do that so they treat "stamps" and "upgrade" as the same thing when it's clearly not.
I wouldnt start the 2nd ring until the event acutally starts

I think you should change your EDIT section to THEORIES. Then edit as you deduct possibilities. This way people won't take your edits as facts.
Try asking people if they upgraded on day 11. I have a theory that day 11 and day 12 finalizes the ring but I don't have enough info to make that claim so it's a theory.
If that's the case, the grace day is glitched and only works if you missed out on day 11.
[quote=Jq25wong]@Davyn I've yet to receive a complaint about the edits. Yes it is messy, just cleaned up the junky ones. I didn't upgrade my rings yesterday because I didn't have time to.
Also you NEED to have a total of 31 upgrades, not just the stamps.[/quote]
Please cite to me where Nexon mentions you need 31 total upgrades from three rings. As far as I can see it says you must participate in at least 31 days (i.e. Get 31 stamps).
Davyn is right.
IF you upgraded on -day 11- then your ring is tradable regardless of level and you can not upgrade a tradable ring no matter what trick you try to pull.
IF you did NOT upgrade on -day 11-, then you can upgrade on -day + - instead.
That storage trick adds a stamp but does not upgrade your ring.

You should really stop editing all of these. You're confusing everyone.
It's simple. If you did not upgrade your ring yesterday to give it the trade-able status, then you can upgrade it today. If you DID upgrade it yeseterday to give it the trade-able status, then you can not upgrade it today and must get a new ring upgraded to receive the stamp. It has nothing to do with what level it is. It could be level 3 or 4, but so long as one of the days you upgraded it was YESETERDAY, July 13th 2013, then it can not be upgraded further because the potion yesterday made it so the ring becomes trade-able.
No, you can not take the ring, put it in storage, get a new one, get the upgrade potion, and use it on the old ring from storage. It will not work.
And everyone is under the assumption that you could turn in 3 +5 rings or whatever and still get the absolute ring assuming you received a stamp on every single day. You just need the three rings and 31 stamps. Please stop confusing everyone. You probably did not upgrade your +9 ring yesterday to get the trade-able status and that is why you can still upgrade it today.
[quote=Jq25wong]Are you guys really unable to upgrade +8/+9 rings? I am having no trouble at all upgrading these rings, upgrading rings for the past 3hrs. All +9 to +10.[/quote]
Maybe you are just special lol, all my rings, whether it's +9 or +10, all became tradable, so its all not upgradable anymore
They'll probably end up extending the event if its glitched out (at least I'd hope they would) this doesn't personally affect me since my rings are already +11 but it has to suck for those who were affected by this.
Are you guys really unable to upgrade +8/+9 rings? I am having no trouble at all upgrading these rings, upgrading rings for the past 3hrs. All +9 to +10.
[quote=chiuhoiling]I have a +8 ring o I can't do the extra upgrade for today. What's the point of the website saying "you'll have an extra day so don't worry if you miss a day" >.<[/quote]
I've learned to never trust the website, just do what the game is actually offering. Sorry, but with a +8 ring you are unable to get the Absolute Ring
Aw man, I thought I could upgrade my +10 to a +11 today but I guess not.
Made an edit guys, #7, Gaga says he wants to see your rings then he will give you the rewards, "Bring me all 3 rings with at least 31 upgrades".
Anyone who got a clean ring and had that upgraded to receive the stamp MAY have just ruin themselves.
@ElmosDaddy
Check our Edit 6: on my first post (aka the thread post) to see if that works
Edit: meant Edit 6:
Just talk to Gaga and say "What is the Absolute Ring." He will explain the whole thing.
@Larjpeaness
Like I recommended the other guy/girl, you can just store your ring @ the storage then pick up a clean ring and box. Wait out the time on the box and drop the clean ring and grab your +9(or w/e) and see if the potion works on that. GL
@Hiatus
Yeah just wait it out or you could put your ring in the storage grab a clean ring from Gaga and the potion box. Once you wait out the time on the box, drop the clean ring and get back your +9 ring. That SHOULD work, I haven't tested it so yeah. GL on whatever you decide on.
[quote=souevks]Should i bother putting the +10 ring in storage like you said and upgrade a new ring for todays stamp?[/quote]
At your own risk, it may turn out that you need the ring with the corresponding upgrades as the number of stamps you have.
I personally would not do that, but the choice is yours. Anywho, with a +10 ring you are still eligible for the Absolute Ring
Should i bother putting the +10 ring in storage like you said and upgrade a new ring for todays stamp?
[quote=Redxxxxx]I am soo confused on this crap. So I just found out you can't upgrade on the '+'. What the hell is the '+' for?[/quote]
Anyone who has a +9 ring or lower can upgrade their ring to +10 that's it, no further use.
@Vaceron
That may also be very true, the x2cubing may have affected our Ring Event. Still, Nexon has yet to recognize any of our problems.
Im not sure about this at all, but i think Nexon just messed up the coding when we had the ENTIRE DAY of July 3rd as downtime. Remember they stamped our Attendance logs for us for free...? I am thinking that they somehow forgot to add an extra day to the Evo Ring events, thus causing the in game calendar to be a day behind what the event is actually on. So yesterday would have been our grace day, and at the end of the grace day, they all became tradeable. BUT, since the new event starts on a specific date, the Evo Ring II event hasnt started yet because its in game time and date trigger hasnt been hit yet. Only the Event that was already running (The Evo Ring I) was affected by the downtime screw over that Nexon gave us.
Once again, this is totally a theory, but it kinda makes sense... Or i might be completely and totally wrong... I dunno... Just some food for thought.
~Vaceron
@Larjpeaness
That I believe is a glitch, because I have no problem upgrading my rings that are +9 right now.
[quote=0DeathTheKid]Will I be able to get the absolute ring if i log in every day for each ring except [b]3 times[/b] on 8/15, 8/16, and 8/17?
much appreciated
hope i can still grab it.[/quote]
I updated my first post (the thread) and you are only allowed 2 grace days IF they are only counting ring upgrades. So missing 3 days would not allow you to receive the Absolute Ring
He says that once it has been upgraded to "tradable" status, it can no longer be upgraded.
Wait, so what are the stats on a ring that is +10?
@ShadowWigWig
You are counting on the fact that TODAY (a + day) upgrades you ring, it doesn't lvl 11 is the highest. Once you have +11 you cannot start the next ring event (I believe)
11 upgrades per ring event TIMES 3 rings = 33total upgrades meaning you can miss TWO upgrades.
[quote=Jq25wong]Are you just multiplying the event stamps that we have?
If you are then please read that today and every week after is a + day meaning any ring lvl10 cannot be upgraded to 11 on this day.
So say you missed 1 day this week, then the + day will allow you to obtain a lvl 10 ring.
Same thing with the week upcoming, you are only allowed 2 days of grace.
(This is only if the Ring Upgrades count. If this event runs on stamps THEN we have a total of 5 grace days.)[/quote]
I didn't multiply anything. Did you? There are a total of 36 days and you need only upgrade rings 31 times to receive an absolute ring.
[quote=ShadowWigWig]No, he was right. You can miss a total of five days between all three rings. You simply need a total of 31 upgrades.[/quote]

[quote=Kenshin95]So if we put it in storage and get another ring, the first one will not disappear?[/quote]
Correct. The first will stay in storage. You can even put the new ring in storage after upgrading it since today's potion also makes it trade-able. Or you can simply drop it and forget about it.
So if we put it in storage and get another ring, the first one will not disappear?
[quote=Jq25wong]No cause once your ring is +10 on the + day (today) you [b]CANNOT[/b] upgrade your ring to +11.[/quote]
No, he was right. You can miss a total of five days between all three rings. You simply need a total of 31 upgrades.
[quote=UnitedAces]On my mule I tried to upgrade a +4 one, but Gaga says the same thing as with a +10 one...[/quote]
When did you make it +4? Was it on day 11, yesterday?
I have a +10 ring, I missed day 4 so I thought I could get +11 on day 12,today, but Gaga says my ring is already made tradeable.
A possibility is that day 11 finalizes the ring regardless of what upgrade count it is on.
But that defeats the purpose of the grace day because day 11 forces you to miss out on day 12.
[quote=earmuff]does anyone know if there are any disadvantages to getting a new ring before the official start of the second leg of this event?
(before the 12 day run between 7/24-08/04)[/quote]
If you look at the ring in your inventory it will say 2013 Evolving Ring I, the I meaning the first (of three). When you ask Gaga on 7/24 for a ring it will produce the 2013 Evolving Ring II. I, II, and III are supposedly needed to turn in for the Absolute Ring, so no, there is no advantage.
Perhaps with the coding messed up with the x2 cubing event it could have affected the rings as well.
Well I have a +9 ring and am going through the process of placing it in storage to upgrade another ring for the stamp. It stinks that I can not upgrade it to +10. I believe Nexon messed up and made it so that all rings that were upgraded yesterday received the "Tradable" function which tells Gaga that it is "fully upgraded". Meaning if you missed a day or two but still upgraded it yesterday it was set to tradeable and systematically set to "fully upgraded". I do hope Nexon fixes this.
oh wow nexon fudged up again
so much for extra days
@NakkteSnor
Again, I don't know whether the Event wants ring upgrades and stamps or just stamps.
If it's ring upgrades + stamps then having a +8 ring by the end of today will pretty much make you unable to get the Absolute Ring.
If it's purely stamps then yeah grab another ring and upgrade it, you'll be safe just have to be perfect for the next two rings.
Edit: @carbonrow
I don't trust anything Nexon says on their site, just what's in the game. I still don't know anything.
@carbonrow
Just to make sure you saw my other post, ignore my post, I added the ring upgrades wrong, you have to have the next two rings coming up both +11.
@carbonrow
Opps sorry, ignore my post I added it up wrong, you need both +11's for the next rings.
[quote=carbonrow]My ring is currently +9, and Gaga won't let me upgrade it anymore. So will I or will I not be able to receive the Absolute Ring in the future if my 2013 Evolving Ring I does not reach +11 nor any of the ring II and III in the future? And what should I do about today, since I can't upgrade my +9? Should I get a clean one while storing my +9 and get it for the stamps?
Need some clarification on this please, thanks.[/quote]
As I said before, I'm not sure on what this event is requiring us, if it's PURELY stamps then just storage it and upgrade a ring again.
OR If it's purely ring upgrades in which then, you have to get +11 for the next two events.
OR If it requires both stamps/ring upgrades then you also need corresponding ring upgrades both +11 for the next two.
Edit: Ignore this, messed up, edited but yeah ignore.
@Vearmoth
Better to be safe then sorry, let's say they made the Event so that you have to have the rings also present for it to count along with the SAME number of stamps.
@Jq25wong: It doesn't matter the ring upgrades anymore. In the event notes it did say that, but they changed that.
[quote=Vearmoth]@Jq25wong: No you can't but you can still get a stamp.[/quote]
I'm still unsure whether this event requires stamps/ring upgrades/both. So for now I'm just going to say that with a +8 ring by the end of today, you are unable to receive the absolute ring.
@Jq25wong: No you can't but you can still get a stamp.
