If you obtain a Gift Box every day from Monday to Saturday, then on Sunday—in addition to Sunday's reward—you can select another gift! You can select one from all of the items that were given out from Monday to Saturday. You are not required to have received each day’s Gift Box on the same character in order to be eligible for the extra gift, but it does have to be with characters in the same world (multiple worlds in World Alliances don't count).
This event is available to players Lv. 30 and above (Zero characters must have completed up to Chapter 2).

That's a really nice hot week.
It does seem, however, that the "days" for this event go by PST instead of UTC.
What, exactly, is the point of having server time on UTC, if some events still go by PST?

It looks like this week the Hot Week is running on UTC instead of PST.

Ah, I see. It was just the copy-pasta of "can be opened until 1:00 AM Pacific (4:00 AM Eastern) of the following day" that threw me off. The box can actually be opened until 1AM UTC of the following day.

smh
So on Monday they failed to give out the gift on Luna.
They fixed that at 9:30 PM UTC, or thereabouts.
And they decided to move the rest of the days to PST time because they realized the Lunarians would complain that they only had 2.5 hours, late at night (for some) to pick up their box. They also realized that lots of Americans would have forgotten to pick up Monday's box on Sunday evening.
But, they only told us of this change at 3:30 AM UTC, after people started complaining that Tuesday's box wasn't showing up.
Gotta love Nexon, their foresight, and their communicativity.
Re: [Updated] Black Friday Hot Week: 11/21 – 11/27
Good example of why UTC is a horrible idea, imo.
Re: [Updated] Black Friday Hot Week: 11/21 – 11/27
So now Luna players can't get it anymore? geez:f6:
This time thing is start to get confusing :f7:, i wonder how much more confusions before they maybe go back to PST or stay with one fixed.

Luna players could get Monday's box between about 9:30PM UTC on Monday and 8AM UTC on Tuesday.
Now they, and everyone else, can claim Tuesday's box until 8AM UTC Wednesday (midnight PST).
