Yup, first time I noticed them make that mistake. Not sure how often they do it but this time it worked out pretty good for me, got some extra trait items, crystals and sellable elixirs.
I also collected and opened star boxes on 8 different mules a day, which netted me around 1 to 4 cubic blades a day on average. One day I even got SIX cubic blades! Lots of good trait boosters and I think around 2 or 3 thousand superior crystals and around 4 or 5 hundred purple powder to Buy MapleStory Mesos. Also around 1 million mesos per day in sellable elixirs.
All in all a very nice event, plus got a lot of nice looking damage skins on my mules.
I also made a guide thingy to know which ones to do for easy coins...
