Update - So I've been going pretty hard this event, managed to break into top 300 after a few days and have stayed there. Honestly at this point I'm not even trying for points, they're just coming as a by-product of trying to farm for Cool Orbs... and I must say, farming these has been ridiculously frustrating. I've done 7 awakening attempts on my EQ now, 3 of them with both arcanas and every other time with 1 arcana, and I have yet to get even one GUR. Maybe I'm just unlucky, but I feel like I'm going to want a bunch of GUR's if I'm going to be able to handle the advanced EH, and even after almost an entire event of ranking top 300, I haven't been able to make even one.

I guess I get the fact that GUR is a 'luxury' upgrade, but for the EQ at least, it really isn't. Her proc just isn't very good until you can GUR her. Guess I'll keep trying, keep failing... at this point I have 5 HUR EQ's (2 perfect almag, 1 drop almag, 2 from just drops), but can't awaken any of htem. Makes collecting them rather pointless.

At least I've collected enough orbs of the other elements to most likely be able to GUR at least one of them right away, assuming the next event isn't cool and my horrible awakening luck doesn't continue. That said, with the nature of the elemental halls, seems like I really need to try and focus on maxing just one element and use all of my keys on that one.
