This event is based on leveling up a badge (equipment), in the form of a lunchbox. By looting various leftovers from any non-World Tour-based enemies, you can craft these leftovers in various consumable lunchboxes. Depending on what leftovers you have used and your luck, you can craft either horrible looking lunchboxes (like ones with icky green stuff that you musn't touch) or ones that might look delicious to eat. All of these consumables can be used for your own (for example, increasing experience rates for several minutes) - or they can be traded in at the Happy Picnic Ground event map.
You'll have to craft four consumable lunchboxes and trade them in at either Chief Stan or Lania, depending on what level your badge is. Depending on what type of lunchboxes you'll trade in, you'll have a variable percentage of convincing Chief Stan/Lania to enjoy your lunch. This percentage is presumably based on what lunchboxes you trade in (for example, horrible looking lunchboxes may wield low succession rates). Having them enjoying your lunch will upgrade your badge, having them hate it will trigger a battle between you and them, or having them just be "meh" about it will trigger nothing. Once you've reached the final badge Chief Stan can offer, Lania will offer a better deal if you would give the next lunchboxes to her (although you'll start with a very weak badge but it'll exponentially grow better the more you can upgrade it).
So, if you would have multiple icky lunchboxes, you'll might up ending getting hurt by the hostile picnic friends (and yes, they do hit a lot... - near 17k damage on my Level 205 Hero) - but they do drop some empty lunchboxes which you can trade in for any of the possible consumable lunchbox, depending on how many of these you own. Saving these up might increase your chance to win, because you can force "spawn" a good lunchbox in your inventory. During crafting you might end up with a "Random Lunchbox" (a lunchbox with a question mark in it), which might up the odds or totally screw you over.
Don't worry, there's more - the further you progressed in leveling your badge, the easier it might be to reach the next stage. So getting through the first stages at Chief Stan might take several days, but the last several upgrades from Lania might be done in no time. However, it'll be important to note that you'll probably need to start this event from day one... consider you can only turn in these lunches a few times per day (worst of all, the daily limit may vary per day). Unfortunately, crafting lunchboxes is limited per day as well, so there's not really a decent way of "cheating" yourself through this event by continuously trading in good lunchboxes by throwing the icky ones away.
That's it for this post. I'll see you again next post! Oh by the way...
The You & I update is speculated to be soon in MapleStory Europe... (although that speculation has been going on since the start of this year) - if you have been reading my blog for several years by now, you'll know what that means.
By then, I'll be trying to obtain either Decent Speed Infusion through Elite Monsters or obtaining a similar effect with the Inner Ability system. It'll all depend on if we either get the GMS or KMS You & I update, and which I can get the most opportunity or luck from (for example, I already have collected over 4500 Honor Medals in preparation for the Inner Ability revamp). I actually expect to have the Inner Ability version earlier, but time will tell.
