• 
• Evolving Rings are back! This time however, things have changed. There are now three Evolving rings to collect and upgrade, and if you collect all three and upgrade them at least 31 times total, you can combine them into the ultimate Evolving ring: the Absolute Ring. This powerful ring has the combined stats of all three Evolving rings. There are three different phases, in which you will receive a ring and be able to upgrade it. Check out the details below!
  
  [Phase 1 - July 3 to July 14] [Phase 2 - July 24 to August 4] [Phase 3 - August 7 to August 18][Reward Phase - August 19 to September 2]
  
  
• Step 1
  
  To receive the ring during each phase, you must talk to Gaga (located in most towns) and tell him you want a ring!
• Step 2
  
  To upgrade the ring, you must then speak to Gaga, and select "I want to upgrade my ring" to receive the Evolving Ring Upgrade Potion Box.
  
  
  Then, you must then stay logged in for at least one hour with the box in your inventory to receive the Evolving Ring Upgrade Potion. Logging out before the one hour mark will cause the potion box to be removed from your inventory, in which case you will need to start again.
• Step 3
  
  Go back to Gaga, and tell him you want to upgrade your ring again, with both the ring and the potion in your inventory.
  
  Ta da!
  
  You have now upgraded your ring! You can repeat this once per day ten more times in that phase order to max out your new ring. You must also repeat these steps for each Phase.
• Checking Your Progress
  
  You can keep track of your progress by speaking to Gaga and selecting "Check your event list". This will bring up the event window to see your progress. There are 12 days per phase you can check-in on, so if you miss a day, no sweat!
• Receiving Your Rewards
  
  During the Rewards Phase (August 18 to September 2), you can earn a reward based on how many days you have participated in.
  
  1 to 10 Days:
  
  11 to 20 Days:
  
  21 to 30 Days:
  
  And of course, if you fully upgrade all three rings, you receive...
  
  
• Additional Notes:
  
  When speaking to Gaga, the Evolving Ring must be in your Equip inventory in order for it to gain a level.
  
  A "day" is based on Pacific time. 12:00 AM Pacific is the start of each day of the event.
  
  The Evolving Ring 2013 I, II, III and the Absolute Ring are separate from previously-run Evolving Ring events. You cannot level up a ring from one of the past events.

A word of advice: just avoid FM completely. If you are bored, just afk in town. I have dc'ed 3 times now because of crashers in the FM.

[MonarchVV]

Gotta upgrade the ring at least 31 times. Have 36 days to do it. I'm on vacation for 8 of those days. DAAAAAMN

[ChronosXIII]

Wow, I thought the "Chair" in the Event Tab was just a placeholder. That's actually the chair...

[DavyJonesx]

I think I'll do this just for the chair.
I alrdy got the Tempest + Unleashed + Pinnacle + Alien Frag (for 50 att set effect) ring combo going on

[Zerard]

We heard you like rings, so we put rings in your rings so you can have rings while you ring.

[Razmos]

This event is going to get insanely messy next time there is a maintenance. We already had enough trouble with the attendance event going on before, now there are 2 completely different ones at once. I feel sorry for Girasol :(

I honestly think that an hour is kinda much considering how unstable the server and client can be. Half an hour would have been more reasonable and allowed for more slip-ups.

We heard you like rings, so we put rings in your rings so you can have rings while you ring.

Wear your ring medal and ring shoulder while sitting on your ring chair while you combine your ring, ring and ring to make a ring.

[Kalovale]

Not even gonna try since I have a flight around the end of August and there'll at least two maintenance SCs within the month.

[Thorr]

Not to mention we have Demon Avenger releasing in that time window. That's definitely a patch day.,

[Arcana27961]

There's a very good chance that I'll get a job soon so I might end up just giving up halfway through this event. My friend is experiencing internet issues and will miss out on today and tomorrow, so he's already screwed.

[MariettaRC]

Ring just stopped being a word to me now.

[Nomad9375]

I set up my computers this morning for remote access so I could do my hours while at work. My boss walked in while I had it up he let me off with a warning though. I'll just have to make sure there's not a next time.

[MetaSeraphim]

I for sure don't have the effort to work on more than 1 Absolute Ring.

[fodjgngf]

I like how the generic ring has 11 slots lol, I wonder if not getting the last upgrade is even worth it since it loses all it's slots... If the second last ring lets you have potential then maybe its better to just not fully upgrade it.

[Soph]

Looks doable, my concern is they aren't telling us what stats the regular 3 rings will give. Assuming we get to keep them as well, that is.

[TheTempest]

Only doing it on 2 characters since I'm also doing the attendance event on both of them to farm coins so an extra 30min on each character isn't bad. Also, I'm only aiming for the chair because I have a feeling I'm not going to have internet for about a week in August.

[Worthyness]

this seems like a huge waste of time, but then again i can get rid of one of my old evolving rings. Is it bad that I want to replace the old evolving ring solely because of the speed boost? Being a buccaneer sucks for mobility and walking faster is always a plus C:

[ShinkuDragon]

i'm making two, one for my main, and another just so i can have 4 evo rings on newly made mules.

As a Dark Knight I am looking forward to the jump bonus as I have been capped at 140 speed for eons.

I am thinking I am gonna do this too.

[Rinax]

I'm really lucky with the dates. I leave for camping on August 20th.

30 minutes and 10 days out of 12 instead of 1 hour and 11 days out of 12 would make me happy.
