More scrolls can be bought with **10 Imperial Tickets/per Strategy Scroll** from the small, yellow square button **Restore** (回復) next to the scrolls.

On the bottom of the event panel, there are displayed your **Total Points** (累計得点) and **Current Rank** (現在の順位).

There are four unique tabs on the event panel.

The first, **Rewards** (報酬) shows reward list and how many points they require. On the top right corner there is listed how many points there must be accumulated until next reward is claimable.

The next, **Subjugation Ranking** (討伐成績) lists current TOP 100 players and their current accumulated points. Their profile (Research Report and Office) may be accessed by clicking the round yellow button **View** (閲覧) next to the player name. The ranking list refreshes every 15 minutes.

The third, **Recollections** (回想) shows the event recollections of this event and the requirements to unlock them. Click the yellow round button **Claim** (受取), and you will be asked whether you want to see the recollection or not. The recollection may be watched later again on the event's recollection list or from Recollections Register in Office.

The bottom one, **Mission Outline** (任務概要) summarizes the objective of the event.

By checking the small white box "Hide my rank" (自分の順位を非表示) below player's current rank, the rank can be hidden. This is a visual setting aimed for people who want to focus on running the event without seeing their rank constantly. Please do note that by checking the box it doesn't remove player from the actual event's ranking or from the ranking list.
