Currently Halloween is happening and lots of macca can be made for a new player that isn't willing to spend CP on the game, so read below.
Event Area: Talk to Nekomata outside Home III and Shibuya (Babel entrance) to access the event room, all required NPC below are inside the main room, also the event ends on the 10th of November, btw the Kaichi at the door of the main room can teleport you to almost all dungeons in the game for 1k so use that to move around.
Requirements for Event: First you'll need to get the Halloween book amulet, which can be bought for 1000 macca when taking to the Pyro Jack with the EVENT tag on his head (options are 4, 4 i believe), equip the amulet and you'll get 3 special skills, a rush, a spin and a shot put these on your shortcuts. Now you need x1 Halloween Spray Can for each run, every day at 9am Japan time you receive x5 cans in your In-box (MAIL), you can also trade the Halloween Cards that drop on same end-chests of dungeons were apples drop (orange-ish cards with 2 kanji) at the Yagiya inside the event room (option 3 or 4) the Yagiya will give you x3 free cans the first time you talk to him.
Starting Event Mini-Game: While you have x1 spray can and the book equipped talk to Pyro Jack again and a new option should be available. Choosing this options will teleport you to the event room with a loading screen, your party can join by talking to him after someone starts the run.
Mini-Game Rules: Talk to the Pyro Jack in the middle of the room to start and a 3 minute timer will countdown and a HP counter will appear above your head, now the game itself is a wave based mini-game were only the 3 skills from the book work (mirrors and YinYang neckless work). Your objective is to clear all demons that spawn while ignoring the Will O'Wisp, Mou-Ryou and Specter has they do not count towards achieving a new wave (you can still kill them). At 2:00 and 1:00 minute interval a special demon will spawn at the centre of the room kill them asap has they'll de-spawn fairly quickly, two of them could be David who will give you 1 extra HP or Kudlak who gives 50 points, Sudama spawns very frequently and should not be killed has he will reset point for you and your party, there are several other more rare spawns like Fafnir who have a chance to either drop a Demon Soul at the end or their plug-in (plus x40 gems), be careful not to lose all your HP when attacking demons by getting countered or letting them attack you, try not to aggro all demons since you'll lose HP fast. When the timer will reaches 0 the mini-game is over, grab the items from end chest (x1 Cookie and x1 Mag Press), talk to Pyro once and you'll receive a red Snow Flake which can be used in the main event room to trade for items, skills, plug-ins and macca, talk to him again to leave the room.
Tips: Focus on using rush to dive a strong foe and spin to clear the weaker ones, I've not found shot very useful since most demons tend to dodge the second shot, run to the centre of the room before the timer reaches 2:00 and 1:00 has mini-boss will de-spawn fairly quickly. After a few runs you should have grasped the ideal way to deal with waves, if you are solo you should get an average of 40-50 Snow Flakes, with a party it can vary depending on how coordinated you are, i recommend dividing between corners of the room and sticking to those, mirrors and yinyang buff work inside the mini-game, try and get a enhancer with you possible since less HP means less snow.
Prizes: Ok here's were money can be made, i'm not going into much detail about other prizes but i'll leave below some useful comments from other players regarding the event.
So you are a fairly "new" player (old server) and you are running about with NPC gear and asking your clan "were to farm" well the short answer is generally the events, this one in particular you have a few ways to make some macca. You trade snow flakes for macca at x600 snow for x20 paper macca 1mil, this is can be done farmed quite easely over the course of several days and make quite a lot of macca for a starter gear. Now there's another way to make macca and that's the Moh Shuvuu NPC which trades snow for items such has Valuable Cards (silver card like item), they go for 225 snow for x75 cards and these can be sold for 2-6mil (like INK said below prices can fluctuate depending on demand and supply and supply is very high right now) every x100 stack so there's some profit in this method over the last one but depends on timing and luck since right now no one is buying said cards and the prices might be to low after the event ends has there will be many. There's also the chance that a rare mini-boss like Fafnir will spawn and drop his Demon Soul which can be sold around 20mil or so (depends on which one you get and player prices but around 10-30mil ask you clan).
