Sword, gloves and armor give chain, hood doesnt. I understand that would make hood really broken, but there are other cards that are FAR worse than hood, that gives chain. The others, still meh, as there are other weapons that fit your chosen guild/class/archtype better. Would you rather play the Lucyan sword over, say, Chimera in Dragon Knights? Ok, that ones a bit harsh, so lets change Chimera to Noz'Dingard Sword. Heals 1-2 and gives all other Dragon Knights +2/+2. Just as good, right? Ok, how about... Lucyan sword over Black Chimera? Or Daikatana? Short Crystal Blade? Im losing 1-2 attack, maybe, but Im gaining other, better, effects. See my point?

No guild restrictions means you can just throw something together and grind the two non-win/kill based trophies.
f2ps can get up to 2 of Lucyan's items just for playing, each item fit's well with it's class.
Lucyan is fine (He may be the only thing I get from this event)
Having 4 classes makes him a novelty, if I ever stood a chance of Obtaining Ateb, having a deck with 3 4-class characters can make some funny stuff happen. His order is lame, but atk+3 def+3 Sp+3 until the end of the game, a marauder bonus that activates against everything but courts and mercs, and being able to play theurgy/spells makes him worth it. He's better than Single character Xeenilk.(Warrior's fury + RoD is a personal fave)
I approve of this event, just because it's reasonable, (and will be even more reasonable tomorrow when the trophies are reduced)
You must work for Feerik. Lucyan is fine, he allows you to play any deck and multicast, but he couldve been better. There are many past event cards that are more focused at one thing, and is good, but not overpowered. Kaes the Protector is one example. He gives defense to your other characters, so its hard for a physical deck to kill you, but you can still die to mages. Valentyne is another, she gets her equipment out, but if you get Freeze'd, she becomes weak. Im not saying hes bad, because hes really not. Like I said, hes as good as some of the rares we have, but hes underwhelming in the face of past event rares, and him not being focused on one thing only hurts him for use. Hes a collectible, but I think many people, myself included, would rather have something we can use, not something we can collect.
Nope, I've just been here since the game's birth, have seen the prerequisites for almost all of Eredan's events and the cards obtainable from the events. This one is a time sink, but almost every event has been a much more DIFFICULT time sink.
As for the items: GENERIC NON- AFFILIATED
Granted they're more useful as fillers for most people, but they're not bad.
Reasons why playability isn't as large a factor as you're saying:
-I've never seen any other event character used except Scragh, Tristam, and the boss versions of characters that is anywhere near efficient, and have personally destroyed everything else along those lines that I've encountered, and I'm not even good at this game.
-Other event items/actions are pinpointed to the verge of being unusable by most, or are just plain overpowered.
-Lucian has high HP and can play theurgies, that, in itself makes him better than any pinpointed character type.
If you weren't around when top Elo consisted of Stoon wannabe's then I'm fairly certain you haven't seen what a deck of multiclass characters can do.

But if you haven't spend a lot of money on this game, played for over a year or simply buy all the trophies, then getting more than some scraps isn't in the cards for you.
And while "then you just get one or two of the items, they're not bad" is a valid view, dangling shiny Lucyan in front of people and then prohibiting them from getting him still makes it all seem like a punishment.
If this event had half the points needed for all trophies with 1 point per kill, specific class counts double, for the kill X class trophies, it would be enough of a time sink.
This game is run by a company, the object of a company is to make money, in most of the other events, obtaining anything was ridiculous(Like getting stuck on a guild for Xeenilk, having obscure riddles for Scragh etc)
All of the event cards either demanded unworldly time sinks or money, this one is the first actual feasible one. There are probably only a handful of people that have earned Mythical cards without spending anything.
This game isn't f2p, and isn't maintained by charity.
I'd prefer an event that actually does give everyone a chance at something with cards like these than an event that hates you(like Xeenilk's)
F2P people can't really complain about what they get, because there are that many more who've payed and have had crappy, crappy luck(Myself included)
The point is, the event IS accessible by practically anyone, and CAN give you cards if you have the time.
Edit: Everyone who got the free ice elf deck should do fine with the warrior quests.
