The Ephinea Anniversary event is a major annual event that occurs during or around the month of August and lasts four weeks.
The anniversary event features the Maximum Attack E series of quests (event-exclusive shorter-form versions of the Maximum Attack E quests), an event-exclusive currency called Anniversary Badges, and the Anniversary milestone system, which rewards the community various rate boosts depending on the playerbase's performance.

Boosts
Rotating weekly boosts
During the Anniversary event, all four rotating weekly boosts are active simultaneously.
Milestone rewards
During the Anniversary event, milestone rewards are unlocked based on a server-wide counter:
- In years prior to 2024, this counter tracked all monster kills that occurred in Ultimate difficulty, regardless of whether or not a quest is chosen.
- In 2024, a different counter was implemented, which tracked individual clears of the Maximum Attack E quests, with boosts unlocking based on the number of clears of the least-cleared quest (similar to the previous Hunters Boost Road system).
Milestone rewards include standard boosts, such as those to experience, rare enemy, or drop rates, as well increased Meseta drops, or specific increases to the drop rates of Photon Drops or the Anniversary Badges (see below). These milestone rewards apply server-wide, and are not restricted to event-exclusive quests.
Milestone reward progression can be viewed on a subpage of the official Ephinea website that becomes available at the start of each Anniversary event. Players can see their own individual kill counters by entering the Anniversary Badge Shop and speaking to the Guide NPC located in the Hunter's Guild.

During the Anniversary event, four types of rare "Anniversary badge" items will drop from all enemies (with the exception of scared Rappies). The exact drop rates of each badge type have not been released to the community. The availability of each badge type is determined by difficulty (the higher the difficulty, the more common the badge drops):
Badge | Difficulty |
---|---|
Anniv. Bronze Badge | Normal (or higher) |
Anniv. Silver Badge | Very Hard (or higher) |
Anniv. Gold Badge | Ultimate |
Anniv. Platinum Badge | Ultimate |
Anniversary badge drops are not affected by any drop rate boosts, except for those specifically granted by the Anniversary event. Anniversary badges will not drop from item boxes.
Associated quests
The main quests featured in the Anniversary event are the Maximum Attack E series. These quests are designed to last five-to-ten minutes per run, cannot be failed, and award Anniversary badges on clear, with the number and type of badges rewarded depending on difficulty.
Event category
- * These quests are "omnispawn" quests, and are able to feature enemies from every area (though not all are used).
Shop category
Anniversary Badge Shop
The Anniversary Badge Shop is one of the featured quests during the annual Anniversary event. This quest features numerous shops and NPCs, at or with which players may trade in their Anniversary Badges for various items.
