We don't know, the Reading Drive is not a scheduled annual event. It could be anytime, it could be never.
I think it was confirmed at the end of the one last year, that there wasn't going to be another reading drive.
really?
I hope it's soon , I want one of their prizes. :( :( I hope this year and reach for it. you know what the next event ?
Oh, I didn't see that. Cool, thanks.
Also, aw.
It would be easiest at this point to buy from another user. The next site event? It's either Keelhauliday or the site's anniversary, I forget which comes first.

nooooo! really?
please say that is a joke U_U.. Ill never get the Reviver Of The Lion :(
no is really expensive, in the reading drive the posibilities are more.
I'm sorry, I know it's expensive. I know the site does pay attention when things get too rare, so we may see it become available again in the future. Maybe.
Fireside, Morostide and Alegarten are comming :S.. both are going to be my first time in those event.
There might be other similar item drives, but staff has said they won't use books again. They didn't say if they would have the same prize shop though or if they'd change it. [edit] Also the Reviver of the Lion is a (pretty good, I believe) battle item so it's meant to be relatively expensive :c
You'll be able to get Reading Drive prizes for very high prices when they'll be released in the Antique Shop.

There /might/ be a summer event coming "soon" but these tend not to be official.
That's the shop for all the old plot/event items. It's not there yet and I imagine it will take a while to see it in stock because it'll be a big job for , , and the battle admins to put an official sP value on big ticket battle items like that one.
I think you'll see it when the other Reading Drive prizes are released but you still may find the official price too high. Many of the Pirate vs. Islander items were available for better prices in user shops, even though those weren't cheap either.

We won't be having another reading drive in the future (or at least not in the format we've had the last two times where you just turn in books and get points), so yes the old prizes will eventually be in the Antique Shop. We are still working on that perfect conversion number for the prizes from Reading Drive Points to sP!
(there are spooky random events happening, I WONDER IF THAT MEANS EVENT)
The reading drive prices will be much nicer in the Antique shop because the range between the highest and lowest prizes aren't as extreme as was the case with the Pirate vs Islander items.
