Every year without fail

I see many players not taking full advantage of banquet realm event rewards
If you don't care about the game den it doesn't matter but if you enjoy the game den you would benefit greatly from banquet by having sufficient units
There always the next banquet next year so it's never too late to be prepared

1. Get to valiant before Banquet to take full advantage of Banquet
2. Grind regularly every month for units so you don't have to do last min arena grinding
3. I spend more units this year than last year banquet to hit all the milestones so you need a sufficient buffer to be safe
4. Save enough gold for rank up to clear your stash of high end catalysts
5. Save enough low end crystals to have enough iso bcos stash only last 30 days
6. Prepare a good amount of catalysts in inventory
7. Have rank up gems in inventory in case you don't have enough catalysts for lower rank up, you might have plenty of T7B but insufficient lower end catalysts
8. Find a good alliance months before banquet, get to know your leader and officers, build relationships so you don't get kicked during banquet, if you are a good player, no one will kick you, only inactive players get kicked

Account growth after banquet
2024, from 6 million to 6.6 million, spent 21k units
2025, from 9.5 million to 10 million, prepared 27k units before banquet

Yes, it's a lot of work for a major annual event but if you play regularly, you can divide the effort over 12 months instead of last min desperate maneuvers

And yes it's a bad design to have inventory limits for high end catalysts

It's counter logic to want players to spend and open huge number of crystals only for players to have difficulty clearing everything in the stash within 30 days

I hear whales saying they spent days during the holiday season trying to clear their stash, it's a bad design and bad playing experience

Figured out how to easily grind 50k battlechips a day. Prepare for my 18 mil battlechip opening next year

Nice tips shared and this is pretty much the same habit that I did last couple years

Also, ignore any pop up deal evey time when you completed a quest.

Almost 99% of them does not worth the units.

Just doing the daily super event and the daily quest will, if you're diligent enough, get you to something like 16K units over the course of a year. Doing just three fights in the 4* Arena will net you 26 units twice (I think it is?) per week, which adds up to around 2700 units in a year. That's super-low arena grinding, but it really adds up over time. Now you suddenly have almost 20K units to spend on the Banquet.

Completing even just the Classic version of EQ nets you 150 units on a monthly basis, which adds up to 1800 units in a year. If you get even a little Radiance, you can spend it on units there as well. I think you can get 750 units per month there, which adds up to 9000 units over the course of a year.

And now you're close to 30K units.

So you can definitely save up a whole lot even without grinding arena in any meaningful way, if you don't spend them (or at least not a lot of them) on other stuff throughout the year. If you do grind arena more, you'll have more units; if you use your units on other deals throughout the year, you'll have less of them.

I still spent some units on the occasional offer during both July 4th and Cyber Weekend, but for the most part I saved them for the Banquet. That allowed me to go into this event with a pretty sizeable nest egg. Of course, maybe you decide that you'd rather save your units for some other event instead - that's perfectly fine too. I've always preferred the Banquet since I really like the alliance/community aspect of it, but you do you.

I forgot to mention this

I skipped Cyber sales (Regal Ravanger event) bcos I don't need Super Skrull or Yondu for battlegrounds

Basically I compared the champions featured in both Cyber and Banquet as the main comparison

If you want Super Skrull or Yondu den pick Cyber

If you want Kingpin, Absorbing Man, Hulkling, Scorpion etc den pick Banquet

Also Banquet offers more value for your units compared to Cyber sales
