Sooo… the winter event rerun came out a few days ago. There’s two new egos and they both contribute to the event bonus.
Since I’ve been playing since launch I have both Holiday egos and therefore only half of the event bonus (60% instead of 120%). The Christmas Nightmare egos have the 1 week wait for sharding, which is a bit problematic since now I gotta choose between:
Pull for them like what PM wants (erode your savings so they can make money)
Wait out the week to shard them and start grinding with a better bonus, problematic 'cause of school
Start grinding without either
Sharding both is pretty expensive and I’ll probably skip out on Gregor’s ego just 'cause it doesn’t look useful enough for the cost. Soo…
Polls! What did you do (or have already done) in this situation (christmas event rerun)
Pull for the new egos, then grind
Wait a week to shard (at least one of) them, then grind
Start grinding the event with neither (2550 sacks for reference, 4850 if not played previous)

Get…
Both Christmas Nightmare’s (full 120% bonus)
Christmas Nightmare Ishmael (100% bonus)
Christmas Nightmare Gregor (100% bonus)
Neither event egos, just grind with 60% bonus

(I will use this as context for your possibly-educated opinion)
I got 394 pulls saved up (incl the four 3* guarantee tickets but not incl the 20 tickets available from the rerun). I don’t care what PM releases, I’m not pulling outside of Walp!!! (guess I’m saving for Arknights)
Huh, I didn’t expect so many votes in one day that are all more or less unanimous. The results are about what I was thinking, but I expected at least one gambler.
Most of the tremor units (basically all of the good ones actually use self tremor.
Oufi’s the outlier but he got powercrept by piss tremor.
I don’t have Zwei Ishmael or T Don, but the ego might push me towards choosing ishy. Even better that her ego literally only gets one conditional burst on upt4 so it’s really not necessary. Though, I would love to have 3 fragility and the utility to nuke sloth-weak enemies.
Forgot that you could borrow units for event bonus. Did the whole hardmode story with just +100% bonus and got ~2100/2550 sacks required. Was expecting to have to grind the final dungeon 31 or so times but I didn’t expect first time clears to be that high. (I did one MD5H run for the weekly with only 40% because I forgot to equip Heathcliff’s Holiday)
While I'm here, I wanna mention that I've been getting friend requests a lot lately. They're usually a random account from level 15-40.
Not sure if it’s related to when I send my friend code in here a while ago. I think this is plausible because the AO Forums have a surprisingly amount of search engine optimization (this thread appears in Limbus-related Google searches a lot). Though they’re probably just from random new players seeing a level 70+ in the Add Friend tab.
Updated Friend Code in case you need something to borrow
Message me if you friend so I know where my requests came from.
Sacrificed all of my other gifts to craft a second Lunar Memory for Lunar Vestige, the new rarest ego gift (also to get super shop chance to 97%). Decided that this would be the run because I got a random Lunar Memory.
For those curious, Lunar Memory sells for 300, Lunar Vestige for 250, and tier 5 gifts always fuse into a tier 4 even if you only throw tier 1 gifts at it.
