As of today at 0:00 PT, ten new story quests were added! More story quests are to be expected later this month on February 21st PT.

Until February 27th at 23:59 PT, the cost of refilling your AP gauge is halved to a price of 50 Jewels. (It's not a 0 AP campaign for event quests, but it could help.)

The Keyblade Challenge event is open until February 13th at 23:59 PT! Clear these 15 quests set in the Olympus Coliseum for rewards such as Event Coins, Mirrors, and Brooms.

Event Coins can be redeemed in two event boards, which are open until February 28th at 23:59 PT:

Are these upgrades for the NA or the Japanese version? I'm impacient for the story of KH:UX and give us more clues from KH-III.

These are for the global version. For whatever reason, Square decided that it wasn't important enough to bridge the 6 month story gap between JP and global before KH3. Though maybe doing 2 story updates this month is their way of starting. If you want, you can check out Everglow's page on YouTube, as he's been translating the latest story quests in JP.

 

Now, onto the analysis!

Wooooooow, how nice of them to cut the price of refilling our AP. Suuuuuuuuch a good deal. (This is sarcasm: don't waste any jewels on refilling AP, whether it's 100 or 50.)

The event is nice, if not a bit easy for a large chunk of players at this point. Still, it gets you 100 event coins for each quest, for a total of 1500 coins, so it's worth completing. (Note that you can't farm these quests: you'll only get the 100 coins once.)

DB5Max is finally here, and that means that these boards are a must for PVP. Forget about the Rose and Rogue boards, and go straight to the Baron/Baroness boards. And remember, pick a medal that you use often as the recipient of the skill (and also make sure it's a buffer, not an attacking medal).
