I’m curious to gather some opinions about Biff event, so feel free to share your experience in comments.
Did you try at all to get any of Biff whites?
How many Biffs (approximately) you fought during MotMG? (total or approximate per day)
How many whites did you get?
Did you enjoy doing this event? Do you like the fight compared to other events?
How easy was it for you to find Biff compared to other limited events (Oryx Horde/Leprechaun/Oryx Chicken/Zombie Horde)?
Do you agree that two weeks is enough for the event with pretty low drop rates for white bags or would you want to see it around for a longer period in the future?
Fight was good, I dislike the one phase where he shoots shots in all directions
Didn’t actively look, he spawns in god lands so not hard.
Yes.
Now me.
Why ask all these questions? especially 1,2,3 and 5? The first 3 hardly matter and the 5 well, the bunny is just like a crystal, it may not call to you but it has a large area.
Edit: One thing I would like to point out is even though biff was the Easter event I sorta see it as pointless to make it always drop damn common eggs, the players killing biff are not the players in need of common eggs.

2 and 3 to get some data about white drops in total and compare them to existing white bags rarity. It’s hard to justify when you only have your own selection (which can be just a result of bad luck).
5 was more about finding it in general, not just in realm:
Spawns once per realm, right from the start, can be easily missed if you weren’t in realm from the start;
People sometimes didn’t call it and there was no way to tell if it’s alive or not if you entered a fresh realm;
Egg doesn’t have any callouts, doesn’t have a quest marker as well (crystal at least calls you when you are nearby and calls if you start shooting it);
Can spawn anywhere in glands outskirts, including far away regions (unlike the crystal which only spawns in godlands;
Once egg is cracked, quest appears but doesn’t update immediately and can be easily blocked by other quests in realm;
Callout is not visible from the beach and seems to be restricted to Biff spawn area;
So yeah, pretty much like the crystal except crystal whites can be farmed the whole year long so difficulty in finding and low drop rates can be justified with the fact that event is always accessible. At least, for crystal people have to call others to crack it while here I saw a lot of people who were trying to hide the fact that they found Biff and solo/duo it when everyone else were fighting the horde.
The drops I got was the egg wand and the bunny dagger.
Unfortunately the only experience I can remember is picking up the dagger and teleporting to the oryx horde where my qot/bracer/mstar archer (holding the dagger) died to an earth smash.
Yes quite intensively tried to get them, because I missed the whole Biff event last Easter so had none.
Estimate 150-200 Biffs on an average of 10-15 per day for the 15 days.
One white (spell), plus three daggers, two wands, one large egg cloth, three small egg cloths, although almost all were while orange lootboost potion was active, so not true drop rates.
Yes I enjoyed it, Biff has a moderate threat level due to his burst attacks, the rushing phase, and pet stasis meaning that even longterm players can’t be casual fighting him in a mess of other enemies. The fight lasted a satisfactory time, and never dragged on too long, even solo/duoing it was only some minutes, unlike OHorde.
Very easy to find, once you know he is always on the edge of godlands, it is just a matter of time, and his green biffzone is easy to spot - unlike the last event I farmed this intently, winter Crystal, which could be anywhere in godlands. Only improvement I’d like would be a realm-wide announce when the egg is first hit, and maybe one when Biff hatches, to alert others searching for him and prevent it being sneakily/selfishly killed. Eg. the OHorde statue does several annoucements to allow players time to TP for the fight.
2 weeks of a year ~1/25th of the time, is perfectly fine for any limited event to avoid it overstaying its welcome and ensure some hype for next time it returns to the game.
Other comments:
Drop rates of all Biff items should be double what they were though, if my drop rates (while lootboosted) are anything near representative. The items are not overpowered, and should be more widely dropping to players who participate, partly as a “badge” that you’ve took part in the event. Whatever Anatis/Cleg drops at, that seems fair/balanced for a limited time event & non-OP item.
I’d also have preferred that they reskinned the WBs, & dagger/wand, & dyes, with some stone/statue theme to make them exclusive (along with reskin Ass from Horde, stone reskin Lepre items, etc.), if they’ve gone to the effort to reskin the enemies. And save the originals for Easter, St Patricks events.
I got the helm
I got like 5 biffs
1 white
Yes it pretty fun
Biff was pretty easy
2 weeks was enough for me and I actually enjoy the fact that not everyone in the game got whites. It annoys me how people act like how they have to bring back events just because they dident get a white bag. The realm community isent used to items actually being rare and limited so I would say that’s what I liked the most
Deff want him around longer! But on my main I got Large AND Small Egg cloth. But I went into a LH and died with them both… So I went out on my mule, and the first Biff I fought on my mule I got a Legendary Spooky Egg! The Legendary Eggs have 3000 Feed Power too! Too bad it is soulbound… All in all, LOVE the event! He is a bit dangerous though. His shots are rather strong.
