Rank: 31

Points 38.8M

Spent $66 (raid cards, weapon and the 5 x $1 = 12 cubes)

I had started this event intending to only farm as many cubes as possible during the first few days before easing back. As it turned out because I was farming so much this kept me consistently in the top 20-30 and so when Megaton was announced I decided I may as well take a shot at finishing in the top 100 (only ever finished top 1000 before).

After megaton arrived I just aimed to keep my rank consistently below 30 and monitored my points lead over the 100th position. This really helped to know when to push hard and when I could ease off. Thankfully because of the lead built up this meant the last day wasn't so bad and I wasn't too worried about being pushed outside the top 100 in the final hours of play. I ended up buying the five $1 cube packs to be safe because my 9M lead dropped to less than 2M before the event finished.

Overall I'm very happy to finish where I did. Even though I spent some money I had been expecting to spend more than I did based on what I've read by other players. But either way I sure won't be doing it again, the number of hours required to do it is just too much.

Looking forward to a much more relaxing event next time!
