As the title says, what do zero get at the end of the event? Do we get compensated with Absolab essence or do we just get nothing?

    You'll be forced to choose the 12 star Dominator Pendant, unfortunately. My recommendation would be to open the box on another character that can accept the weapon - I plan to open it on one of my 200+ characters to give them a decent weapon.

    It's due to the fact that zero's weapon works weird compared to the rest. You'd get the absolab essence, yeah, but you'd lose out on the 17 stars.

    But even getting the essence would be better than a weapon that is not for my class. At least withe the essence I can upgrade my current weapon.

    The relay weapon is meant to be a temporary boost, that's why it's scrolled poorly(100% traces I think) and is locked in both stars and potential. Giving zero an absolab essence would be akin to just giving everyone who gets the tier 4 relay box a normal no-strings-attached absolab weapon free and clear. There would be no way to restrict zero's weapon in the same way(stars and potential both locked) without significant negative impacts for the player down the line.

    You would be stuck with a type 8 that you couldn't cube, and you couldn't blow it up to reset it due to all scroll slots being used and being star-locked. The only thing you could potentially do is upgrade it beyond type 8, but that'd require an arcane umbra essence and that's an unfair onus to place on a sizable portion of zero players.
