So, we get a full new set from the "kill champs" daily, like other festivals since SAB 2022. I guess that the next festivals will get that too.

So, we get another batch of special weapons that are rng in the main container of the festival or bought at kodan merchant, like each festival since Dragon Bash 2021. We even got 4 rather than 3 !

BUT

  • They forgot AGAIN to complete the set for daily rewards (Zephirite weapons) as well as the corresponding upgraded set (Sun-Blesses Zephyrite weapons). We're at 13/16. For all other festivals, those were available during the 4th years (or earlier) when it's possible to complete the 14th through 16th round of meta-daily achievement ("Four Winds Gale" for this festival). This year is 5th year since we started those sets. The last 3 weapons should have been released last year already.

  • Just like in Dragon Bash 2022, they put the new "kodan, or rng from box" weapons in a SEPARATE container in the boxes : Kite Weapon Chest vs Bazaar-Traded Weapon Chest. Obviously they don't want people to get a head-start (new skins from last year's choice chests) but it's a stupid way to do it. It means that you have a high chance to get a chest that only contains the skins you already have. Why not retire last year's chest from the Zephyrite Supply Box's loot table, and put all 7 weapons choices in the new chest ?

I can shed some light on these issues:

  • Zephyrite Weapons: These 3 (+3) weapons don’t exist yet, but they’re in the pipeline. They were unfortunately pushed out last year in the lead up to End of Dragons, and we weren’t able to get them done in time for this year’s festival. While it's hard to make guarantees this far out, I expect them to be in for next year’s festival.

  • Weapon Boxes: This is a fair complaint – we weren’t able to adjust them for this year’s Four Winds, but expect to see a single-box version in this year's Halloween (more weapons for Halloween confirmed?). For what it's worth, the two boxes in Four Winds aren't strictly sharing drop chance, so it's more like you're getting extra weapon boxes compared to last year - but that's invisible drop-table-math and it's not fun to get the old box when you hoped for the new one.
