So I play a Zero class first of all. I was excited when I heard Absolab weapons were being put into these boxes but then I saw that it cannot be used on Zero. Why are we getting left out? Makes this event pretty much useless for Zero's.

    Because Zero doesn't have an Absolab weapon, so to speak. Zero retains Lapis and Lazuli and you have Lucky Weapon Scrolls with a 50% chance to make them a part of the set. There's one for the Necromancer set dropped by Hilla(though why you'd ever waste time on that, I don't know), there's probably one for the Von Leon set at 130, one for the Empress set at 140, then another one for the Chaos Root Abyss set at 150 and Sweetwater at 160.

    I have to assume the same holds true that there is also one to make Lapis/Lazuli a part of the Absolab set, as well as the upcoming Arcane whatever-the-nuts set we're getting with Lucid.

    TL;DR: You don't get an Absolab weapon for Zero from the box, because there are no set-specific weapons for Zero. The weapon Zero starts with is made a part of whatever set you happen to A) be using and B) have that specific Lucky Weapon Scroll for.

    while this is true, it would have been nice if they gave you a Absolab essence but then again if the point was just to give away free absolab gear with no penalty they wouldn't have all the restrictions on the gear they do give out

    I was about to say, the Absolab equivalent is just the essence applied to Lapis and Lazuli but I read up on the Absolab giveaways. The gear can't be scrolled, enhanced or potential'd. Kind of makes sense now but It still means obtaining the last box is useless for Zero's and it's a punch in the nuts for other classes who grind for it only for it to not be a full weapon.
