[Quiet Man Cometh]

There will be an announcement when the event is close to ending so you will know when to start scrambling. ;).

If you are short on ribbons, often people will start selling extras in the marketplace when the event starts to wind down or when they have all the items they want, so it's worth it sometimes to have a look there.

Quest threads also provide a handy place to chat. Many people talk there since there's not a lot else to do with a quest thread.
