AuthorChange in the usage policy of event awarded arts
Every event has one art or the other which is awarded depending on performance. However, every event does not allow the use of such arts. Hence, only avenues to use such arts are either CG, Hunts or MG quests. In CG, these arts maynot be useful as one would typically use enchants. Hence, the choice is restricted to Hunts and MG where such arts may not be useful. Also, hunts and MG may not require such OP arts.
Hence, to make these arts more usable, they should be allowed for use in events where they were won. For e.g. Pirate Arts should be allowed in future Pirate events, PoT arts in PoT events and so on. Else, obtaining an art as an award for performance is pretty useless.
You aren't considering AG and clan battles ^^

PS: You can always do group battles with your arts and have fun there :p and feel over powered ..

PPS:In CG, these arts maynot be useful as one would typically use enchants
In CG you can use only shop arts no enchants =p

PPPS:There are some events , in which you can use all arts i.e there's no restriction =D
well AG and Clan battle (not pvp) are the only way...
no-restriction events are allowing crafting which force people to use craft sets or craft arts.

No, we've had events where you can use any arts, but enchants don't count.

Last one was about a year ago with the 2 vs 1 pirates

I have 10 event reward arts right now that i am normally unable to use. I'm sure situation is similar with many others. What's the point of getting these?? Unless there is some meaningful way to use it. The most meaningful in my opinion is to allow someone to use it in the same event in which they have won it. Some people may not like MG / Hunts / Watchers / AG etc. So no one will start playing a format they dont like just because they have extra arts.
Or... sell them for gold?

So you are admitting these arts are pretty useless for one to actually use. Then why award them in the first place?!
Poor logic and trying to put words in my mouth.

I use the events arts, mostly in defences, but they are used.

Just because an art is useless to you, doesn't mean it's useless to others.

If they really are that useless to you, just discard them.
My only point was that selling an art for gold is not the best use for an art. One would rather use it. But there are very limited options to use it. Opening up arts dropped in a particular event to be used in that event only makes a lot of sense. It would make all the awarded arts seem a lot more purposeful. I would also argue participation in events may go up as people would play until they can use their old arts atleast.
People often argue and get annoyed at imbalance issues. Having any semblance of balance is only possible if the variables are down to faction stuff and not arts, since these are fairly consistent and vary little.

Event arts are always going to be better than normal arts, otherwise people would be very disappointed after an event to get something no better than a shop art stat wise with no real resell potential.

If these event arts were allowable in more battles then either the balance would go out of whack and people would be forced to buy those arts, or else play the event to get one just in case (since they are unknown beforehand).

As such I do not think the right solution is to allow these arts in more battle types.

I do agree however that all too often these arts are not of much use, I have many clogging my inventory for when I may use them in AG, or for resell value when I can be bothered to, though the market for them is not vast.

An alternate solution would be to give people a choice of art when collecting their reward. Either the event art, or the shop equivalent with the same dura, they would simply need to click which one. In this way the market would not be flooded by so many low durability artifacts, and those that want it don;t have the fuss.

Sorry but '-1', disagree.
If you allow them to be worn, in more battles, unbalance will grow.
Its good as it is, right now.

People forget, being able to use them in AG is quite good, since the main obstacle/wall to playing AG is the Gold.
If you have Arts, you dont have to Rent to play AG, so you have advantage there.

What will be next, Event Arts in CG? Please no.

Also, if you allow Pirate stuff to be worn in Pirate Events, the gap between Top players and players who use 'Normal' Arts will grow.
Thus, making Events A LOT more expensive, since people will have to use Event Arts in Events, to be somewhat 'Succesful', in case they wanna reach Top places.
Totally nonsense.

seconded.
I personally don't care for new rare arts and sets to be introduced in the game. They only serve to alter the standard of accomplishment in PvE. Forcing people to buy them is also not a good thing as it turned out to be initially with ring of cold, then they had to bring substitutes in the shop.
My only point was that selling an art for gold is not the best use for an art. One would rather use it.

But you already can. There's a whole guild which is about non shop battles and you have daily non shop battles when in a clan.

Only AG is restrictive. I dont play AG. Maybe I start tomorrow. But say a certain population doesnt like it. What do they do?

Thats a good idea. Completely agree that these arts currently serve very little purpose. Rewarding more with gold makes it more equitable.
What reward you would consider better ?


Sale event arts , buy a lot of normal arts , problem solved .
Sale event arts, buy elements.
Sale event arts, buy e.t.c.

Dont like saling event arts and getting them simply dont play the events .
I even dont like some events , I play them only to get art or achievement :P


I use event arts for , AG and clan defences, and i have sold some for a gold .
