Also to answer your question: No
ex. If I choose to do a new account challenge, will I have access to the calendar from lvl 5, or need to be proven first?

Why not just give us a full list of what all comes in the envelopes? What's the more?
Understand the US based events but why chinese if not indians?
The fully formed crystal, that you buy for units, is unlocked at Cav and cheaper at TB.
HOWEVER
The shard crystal, that you get for free, is unlocked at TB. Takes 2 weeks to form 1. And then gets "cheaper" as it takes a week to form one at Paragon.
I never can remember how this works since changing progression tiers is so infrequent. If I can get TB before February I don't want to put it off for another month but am not sure if the end of the Cav LNY calendar is worth waiting assuming it switches to TB+ but doesn't pick up where I left off on the Cav one. Is there anything sufficiently worthwhile in moving to TB that I would miss out on if I make the transition after February has started as opposed to before January ends?
This is Netmarble's revenue breakdown by region. North America includes the US, Canada, and Mexico, but the revenue from North America is dominated by the United States.
More than half that pie either directly celebrate or at least generally recognize Christmas, (Gregorian) New Years, and Valentines Day, Thanksgiving, and a really big chunk is basically the US which generally celebrates (American) Thanksgiving and the Fourth of July.
About a quarter of that pie recognizes Lunar New Year. Among the countries that celebrate or recognize Lunar New Year are a big chunk of the pie labelled "Southeast Asia" (Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia are among the countries that recognize Lunar New Year) and "South Korea" specifically. Netmarble is a South Korean company, incidentally.
Meanwhile India is a fraction of the 6% designated "Others." While Dwali is celebrated by Hindus outside of India, they are concentrated in India and India as a whole currently represents a tiny fraction of mobile gaming revenue generally and probably an even smaller percentage of MCOC's revenue specifically.
Equally important is the fact that beyond the numbers of people who directly celebrate or recognize a holiday, there is the general recognition of the holiday globally. Only a small percentage of people worldwide celebrate Christmas as a religious holiday, but it is overwhelmingly recognized - as in people are aware of it - worldwide as a celebrated holiday. Black Friday was originally an American thing, but has continued to spread world wide as a retail event. Outside of India, most people would not recognize Dwali or understand it. Lunar New Year, on the other hand, is something that is recognized as a thing far beyond the people who celebrate it directly.
Since a significant number of Summoners are likely to autofight the quest, putting forks in the paths borders on annoying and vitiates precisely the type of thing for which auto fight was designed.
Sure—it isn’t a major quest, and the rewards are fine given the strength of the opponents, and the energy requirements are minimal. Still, having to pop in again and again to pick a path at a fork in the quest makes little sense for a quest like LNY.
Just put individual paths in the quest that allows players to run it automatically without having to check back in.
Alternatively, beef up the quest and the rewards so there’s more incentive to engage with the quest.
