Why am I getting better loot when I'm AFK during Fasnacht?

-

I’ve been giving my all to the Fasnacht event for three days, trying to contribute as much as I could. This is my first year, and although higher-level players are doing most of the heavy lifting, I still wanted to help out. I was hoping to score at least one glowing mask since I’ve never had one before. After participating in around 40 events, all I got were the same regular masks I already owned, which is super frustrating.

Then yesterday, I decided to take a break and have a few drinks while staying AFK. I ended up passing out and when I woke up, the event was still going strong. I checked my loot, and to my surprise, I found several glowing items:

– Glowing Abe
– Glowing Robot
– Glowing Honeybeast
– Glowing Turkey

So I’m left wondering, what’s going on with this event?

This event has had its issues from the start. I’ve always been active in it and got tons of typical loot, but zero exciting drops in past seasons. It looks like going AFK might actually be the way to score better items! While it’s awesome that you got lucky while AFK, many of us have noticed that effort doesn’t seem to correlate with good loot during this event. Why not take a break and try for those sweet glowing goodies?

Honestly, I think you’re onto something! I’ve been grinding as well, and I’m considering going AFK more just to see if it works.
