Clarification of Absolute Ring Event

So there is a lot of confusion with the absolute ring event and I would like to clarify for you guys so that people can stop being so confused.

First and foremost, there are three phases.
Phase 1: July 3 ~ July 14
Phase 2: July 24 ~ August 4
Phase 3: August 19 ~ September 2

During each of these phases, you will be able to receive and upgrade ONE and ONLY ONE ring. For example, during Phase 1 you will receive Evo Ring 1 and you will have to upgrade it 11 times to get the fully evolved version of that specific ring. During Phase 2, you will be able to receive Evo Ring 2 and upgrade it the same way you did Evo Ring 1. The problem is, once Phase 1 is over you can no longer upgrade your Evo Ring 1. This means that you are no longer able to receive the absolute ring. You can continue to do this in phase 3 to get the fulled upgraded version of your Evo Ring 3. Once you have successfully upgraded all your rings you can obtain the Absolute Ring from Gaga.

You cannot upgrade any ring more than once per day. The event clearly states that you must participate for at least 31 days. In order to participate for 31 days you must upgrade your ring 31 times, once per day for 31 days, and obtain the Absolute Ring.

My question is if the current Evo Rings are the same as the forethcoming rings. If they are, people are certainly going to miss days for the event, then people will sell the old rings. If they are not, people will most likely equip Evo Ring 1, 2, 3 and Absolute Ring if they are not lucky enough to have Tempest or (even luckier) Lightning God Ring.

Happy hunting guys!

If anyone actually looked at gaga's dialogue they recently updated it. Now requiring 30 stamps. 30~33 stamps is needed so this is making me doubt the whole "Combine them". It just seems you need to collect the 30+ stamps to receive the reward.

I don't think so , because Gaga says that you need to upgrade them 31-33 times in TOTAL , so that means you will still be able to get the ring , plus it's 12 days , not 11 , so you can still have 10 upgrade by the end of the phase.Then you will need to upgrade the other rings 10 and 11 times , or both to 11.

[quote=SirJayGatsby]Would the best set of rings be:

Lightning God Ring
Tempest Ring
Absolute Ring
Pinnacle Ring

I'm not sure if you can scroll and potential the pinnacle ring or not. Can you clarify?[/quote]
Actually, it'd probably be LGR/Tempest/Unleashed/Pinnacle.
Not only can you chaos/att scroll all of them, they can get potential. I don't know about you, but a 10att 9%stat Unleashed ring beats a 15 att no potential Absolute ring anyday.

the 2013 evolving rings are NOT the same as the old ones. if they were the same, you wouldn't be able to equip the original evo ring together with the 2013 one.
and, they don't even have the same number of slots, since the original had 17 and this one has 11 o.o

what would the prices be on an Absolute Ring. ?

This is wrong on one part. That part being that all 3 rings have to be fully upgraded. If it required all 3 rings to be fully upgraded, it wouldn't need a minimum of 31 stamps. 31 stamps = 2 rings maxed + 1 level 9 ring.

[quote=Rapps]Tell me I'm not the only one who missed the first day because nexon waited til eight hours before the day was over to announce the darn thing? :c

I don't think it's been properly answered yet, is it still possible to get the absolute ring if you miss one day, or am I going to have to buy evo ring 2013 I because I missed the first day? I sure hope not.[/quote]

You're not the only one , bro.I've missed too because of that announcement delay, but we can still upgrade the 1st it 11 times , it will be 11 times in the end, atleast if you didn't miss the second day.

Secondly from what i've read on Nexon's website it means you just need to upgrade em 31 times TOTAL , which means you only need one with 11 upgrades and the other too could have only 10.

Edit : it's confusing , in game Gaga says that you have to upgrade the rings 31 TIMES , but in the website it's said that you have to fully upgrade them >_> , it would be good to know which is true , but anyways if i do not miss one more day on this fase i'll be able to get the first and so on.

[quote=RockGod1]Well, then I guess Nexon should spoonfeed the people who don't want to do something to get a free godly ring by just GIVING it to them with no requirements.

In order to be rewarded, you have to work. If you go to a job interview and tell them "I don't want to work for 5 days a week....", they will just end the interview right there and bring in the next person.

Seriously all you have to do is talk to Gaga, afk for an hour and then talk to him again. It's not even like the attendance event where you have to kill 300 monsters. No. Just afk lol.[/quote]

Most people go on vacation in the summer.. or go visit family in other states and stuff. Not all of us are going to be at home to turn on the computer and afk and stuff.

To clarify:
If you saw SouthPerry's extractions for Unleashed patch, there were 3 new Evolving Rings called 2013 Evolving Ring, 2013 Evolving Ring II, and 2013 Evolving Ring III.
To get the Absolute Ring, I'm guessing you would sacrifice those 3 rings (fully upgraded) that we'll be receiving from the upcoming event.
On the extractions it says each ring has 11 slots each, meaning 33 slots to upgrade = 33 days.

The update notes were a tad blurry on whether or not you had to sacrifice those 3 rings for the absolute ring, or if they just hand over the absolute ring when you have completed all 3 rings.

[quote=RevenantAngel]As long as you get 31/36 days you are able to get the absolute ring, BUT if you fail to upgrade on of your rings to max level then you cannot obtain the absolute ring. That is when people would probably start buying max level evo rings in order to keep being able to get the absolute ring.[/quote]

But that contradicts itself. How can I miss 5 days of the event and still be qualified to get the Absolute ring? Missing 5 days of the event means that one of my rings (1,2, or 3) are going to be incomplete.

[quote=NoMoreHeros]So let me ask something. According to the notes, you must participate for at least 31/36 of the days to get the Absolute Ring. Does this mean that, if I miss a few days of phase 1 (Say, July 7-July 10), and can't finish upgrading the Evo ring 1, I can't receive the Absolute Ring anymore because Evo ring 1 is incomplete?

OR, is it like this: as long as I participate 31/36 days of the event, I will get the Absolute ring regardless of whether all my evo rings are completed or not?[/quote]

Unfortunately it's the first option. However, I think if you miss a few days during Phase 1 and are not able to get the Ring 1 maxed but still have completed at least 31 days, you can buy a fulled leveled Evo Ring 1 (provided that it is tradeable) and you can get your Absolute Ring.
