GM Edward has just announced that Shred the Darkness has been extended for an additional week! Previously scheduled to conclude on May 22, the event (and current GBR) now will run until May 29, giving players even more time to take advantage of the increased drop rates and EXP. Take a stop by the forums to join in the discussion of this news.
The global kill count for Shred the Darkness went over the 65 million mark earlier today. This unlocked the "two weeks of 10 silver casino coins" per day bonus. In addition, the 80 million kill panel has been unveiled - a 2x Photon Arts exp boost for two weeks! With almost three weeks left in the event, players should be able to reach this highly desirable goal.
To recap, the following rewards have been unlocked so far:
As with all past events, the rewards for Shred the Darkness will be implemented sometime after the event ends. You can discuss this update in this forum thread.
On May 8th, the PC/Playstation 2 and Xbox 360 servers will receive the next Shred the Darkness event update. According to the Japanese webpage, a purification mission (C - S2) and several new Dark Crystal Seeker exchange items will be added. Also, a new Guardians Boost Road will run from May 8 to May 21 for Roar of Flames, The Big Push, and the new Purification mission. The boost for this GBR will be an increased drop percentage.

The Unification Point is nigh as the conflict between the GUARDIANS and SEED comes to a head. Once again united, the citizens of Gurhal are working to install photon generators across the system for a plan that could wipe the SEED's existence from Gurhal for good. The SEED, however, sense the plot against them and will do everything in their power to destroy the generators. GUARDIANS President Laia Martinez is determined to not let that happen of course, and is rallying all Guardians together to lead a massive assault against the SEED and protect the photon generators at all costs!
Be prepared the report for duty at GUARDIANS HQ on April 17!
