Mini-event: double drops

Today a series of mini events was announced, including an increase of drop rates from May 18th to May 25th.

I got so excited!! Increased rate of orange drops in Beshmundir Temple! I might even get my full set at last!

We usually get 0 orange items.
For 7 days, we will be getting 2x0 orange items.


Aha.. now I see..
