Impossible to get a 1500 shard player in after daybreak!!

Leave it mate.. I think Mendoza is just trying to hold the other end of the rope. I don't think 1.5k is possible in either events without good deal of  luck.  Atleast winter event one has some chance coz of all the rewards as someone else pointed but Daybreak def no chance with just quests/tasks and 3k pack.  So there is no question of 2 111+s.

But they did launch some good 110s and 109s in week 2.  So probably economical to go for that.
