/shurg this is Content they are doing in addition to the monthly updates and is free. Some people expect way too much. If they stealth dropped this the reaction would be different. Besides we don't even know where this story is headed.

Last month on Freshly Picked they mentioned the shadow lord's sword. The new "Nihility" they added in this update will come from a campaign coming up for Fiat Lux to get the sword.

They mentioned that it was difficult to implement as a one handed sword rather than a great sword due to the dual wielding that the shadow lord has.

Just did an Omen card farm run triboxing (as I usually do), and only got 3 cards on each char. I hit all but 2 objectives and chose not to kill all mobs once objectives were done. I don't think this campaign portion is working yet unless all mobs need to be killed... but DM augments were working. Anyone else having same issue?
Yeah noticing this as well, they forgot to turn the Omen Card Campaign on.
Can anyone confirm if it's on or still not enabled?

Did they screw up on the translation and we are in Omen light campaign?
Is this true?

If you're getting double omen Lights, then they have indeed screwed up the translation and it's double omen lights campaign instead

I did a Google Translate on the JP playonline, and it says:

・オーメンジョブカードゲットキャンペーン
・Omen Job Card Get Campaign

We had cards planned for yesterday, but just did normal bosses(Ou Kei Kin Kei), 4 runs 9 cards total.

It's really only coming from Fiat Lux? Hopefully they make it available all the time.

This is annoying if its really borked.

Anyone else also is not getting more cards from run? I need damn cards...

Annoying because if its indeed broken, the JP would already complain and SE would at least tell its not right and would fix it.

Well i guess campaigns dont need to enter maintenance so SE can just push a button for it to happen.

Well, the page for this month's login campaign is up. We get brand new items for 1000 points!



I think my favorite is "ill's spittle". Probably comes from an NM that likes to rap.

Seems like they are realizing that capping accolades has had unintended consequences.

I dont think so.

You can still pop UNM even if you are already capped for conversion. Also i dont think anyone use 10k accolades to buy single mat so most likely they choose to add those UNM mats to incentivate more Odyssey NM farming/more UNM gear upgrading/augmenting.

Which is also stupid because 1500 login points is also quite expensive for what those mats are actually worth.

I sometimes do so I can pop Odyssey NMs corresponding to ones that people never farm, like Bambrox.

Looks like they're going to "fix" the broken campaigns when they do the minimaint for logins. Along with the various BST typos and MM nonfunction.

They should make it up to us by dropping the dumb lights campaign and giving us Cards +.

Regarding Issues with Midsummer's Night Bounty Campaign

We have confirmed an issue where the effect of Omen Job Card Campaign was not properly applied in the Midsummer's Night Bounty Campaign started on Aug. 7, 2020.

This issue was resolved in the update performed on Aug. 10, 2020 19:50 (PDT) / Aug. 11, 2020 02:50 (GMT).

Due to this issue, the campaign period for Omen Job Card Campaign was cut short, so we are extending the duration of this campaign until the second half of Midsummer's Night Bounty Campaign, which will start on Aug. 17, 2020.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may be causing.

Just did a solo card farm on BST, only missed the 15k and 30k Magic objectives (derp, should have used Whisker...).

Walked out with x7 Cards, it's fixed.
