Turning Gift Tokens into Moonstones

[prayl]

I unlocked the Christmas event several weeks ago, and used all the gift tokens that I cared to. I have over 400 left, and now only a few days left to turn them into moonstones. However, the option to do that is remaining locked. I did spend some moonstones to unlock the whole event, but I can't seem to figure out how to unlock the exchange of leftover gift tokens into moonstones. Anyone have the secret handshake info?

You have to unlock EVERY reward.

Yep, as MadDawg said, you have to buy out every single reward on all of the other pages first and only then will the option to change Star Path tokens into Moonstones become available. They don't want everyone skipping all the motifs rewards and getting themselves tons of free Moonstones, after all.

In fact, the only way to come out ahead with the Star Paths if all you're worried about is getting Moonstones is to never buy into the premium unlock at all. Otherwise, you're always going to be losing Moonstones once everything's said and done - a net loss of 500 for the normal premium unlock and 400 if you do the premium unlock that starts you off with extra tokens.

So why do they have the last page with moonstone conversion if it's not usable? Makes no sense... I wouldn't be annoyed right now if they didn't have that last page at all. If it was just unlock this stuff that's it... no issue, but they put a page that says extra work extra in game currency without an explanation. I would recommend they just remove it next time, so no one is "fooled" into a misconception due to "poor" design.

I just replied in your other thread, but I'll reply here, too, for anyone else wondering.

You can get that final reward page. But only if you buy the Premium unlock for the Star Path at the highest level, the one that comes with extra event tokens. That's the only way you'll ever have enough event tokens to access that last reward page with the repeatable Moonstones.

These events are not designed for players to break even on them. Purchasing Moonstones is how the game's going to make its money when it goes free-to-play. The only way to make Moonstones on the Star Paths is by not buying into Premium at all and then collecting whatever Moonstone rewards are available along the free path.

My last comment stands then. It seems predatory and designed to fool kids... not fun.

That last page is for refunding event tokens. If you bought tokens and unlocked everything without doing tasks, then did the tasks to earn tokens, you wouldn't have anything to spend the tokens on, so they let you refund the ones you purchased.

That's all it's for.

Edit: I mean event tokens.

I am pretty sure it did let me use the last page, this star path. In the past ones you would always run out and people complained, so it seemed like they made it so everyone can get the last page once with the normal amount of points.

Though yes, you still need to unlock everything before it.

Yeah, I bought the higher level Premium unlock, so I didn't notice, but others were saying they wound up with 10 extra event tokens on the normal unlock level this time around. Just enough to use that last reward page once.

I bought the higher level premium unlock - did all the tasks/quests and bought all the rewards - the last page unlocked and I was able to buy it 10 times. Was the same on the last event as well. On top of the fact this event lasted 60 days - so I opened my daily blue chest for 60x10=600 moonstones and so I'm ahead of where I was moonstone-wise when this is included.
The first event I bought the lower premium unlock and was only able to use the last page 1 time after doing all the tasks and unlocking all rewards.
I will always buy the max premium unlock now.
