I did as many Trick or Treat quests as possible (without any boosters mind you because I had no idea it affected completion) for exp and to complete collection files for +35 fodder. Persona quest for stones. Badges for the Falz weapons. Then this Etoile campaign rolled in and just this past week I've gotten a stupid number of Profound weapons and three Celestial weapons (of which I didn't even know were obtainable through drops) that completely bypass the most annoying part (the +35 Falz weapons and stones) just from boosted drop rates.

I guess the route now is to just increase the abilitiee, upgrade, and convert them to the weapon I want right? Are these kind of campaigns a common occurrence for this game? I guess now I'm just waiting on +35 collection files again to upgrade the Celestial weapons since I blew them all away on grinding the Falz weapons in anticipation of upgrading them to Celestials. It's awesome that it's easy right now to close the gap, but it still feels bad man. As if it swooped down a mere month later just to waste my time and effort. What time to had started playing.
Lightstream is here for a year already? So campaigns is good for players who were slacking on those for whatever reason, or new players like you.
I think they usually happen 1-2 month before big patch, same was with 11* 12* Falz weapons, 13* Ares, Austere etc. Then again having extra Lightstream weapon is good. Probably december raid when new hotness hits. Standard MMORPG scenario it's hard to obtain on release and more easy as time passes.
