I think of the latter. Not sure about Sparklesack rewards, but rewards from regular gnomes within the Vault are increased during that period, right? ---

There’s a rumor floating around that drops will be upgraded for the next event. So, I would consider holding on to it. That’s what I’m doing with mine. ---

The Vault only increases the odds of Gnomes and dropping Vault Keys.

As odd as it sounds, if Vault key drop rates are increased during the event and the gnomes inside the Vault drop the same thing as the ones found outside of it, then I’m going to hold mine for the event for the 1 in a small chance that a Vault Key drops from a Gnome in the actual Vault. I’ve had it happen once already. ---

I’d save the keys for the next vault event. Sirrian said on the latest stream that they will be looking into buffing the vault rewards during the next vault event, ---

What’s the schedule for vault events? Ie when’s the next one and how often do they come round? ---

I see. Thanks. That’s a long time to wait. ---

I got one vault key. I did one fight, and I got the gnome king or whatever he is. Lucky, I guess?
