Rhodes Island Headhunting Pack[edit]
Until August 19, 2022, the Rhodes Island Headhunting Pack is available for purchase in the Packs Store for US$25.99.
Once purchased, the player can choose one of the three Headhunting Permits listed below. All three act as a 
Ten-roll Headhunting Permit with one exception; a 6★ Operator is guaranteed to appear on any of the 10 pulls with it, selected at random from the available possibilities:

   |
 |
  |
 |
   |
- Pulls from all three Headhunting Permits listed above are not counted towards the pity system for other banners and getting a 6★ Operator from them will not reset the pull count, so using them will not compromise the player's pity on other banners.
- The Rhodes Island Headhunting Pack can only be purchased once per account and the chosen Headhunting Permit will expire at September 16, 2022 if not used up until then.

Lungmen Lucky Strips[edit]
During the event, the player will be able to pick two out of ten Lungmen Lucky Strips every day, which gives 
Orundum with the highest among the picked Lucky Strips being the reward (e.g. if the first Lucky Strip gives 400 
and the second gives 800 , then the player will receive the latter).
- The possible Orundum values in each Lucky Strip are 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, and 800.
- If the player receives less than 400 from the Lucky Strips, they will be able to pick a third Lucky Strip in the next day.
- All unused Lucky Strip picks do not stack, so they must be used before the daily reset.

Trivia[edit]
- The title of the event (Hanzi: 将进酒; Pinyin: qiāngjìnjiǔ) derives from the eponymous Tang poem written by the famous Chinese poet Li Bai.
- Compared with Who is Real which uses a lot of Classical/Literary Chinese, Invitation to Wine uses a more casual one. However, the writing style bears resemblances with a typical wuxia literature and pays some homage to the late wuxia novelist Gu Long.
- Along with Grani and the Knights' Treasure, Heart of Surging Flame, Code of Brawl, and Darknights Memoir, Invitation to Wine is the only major event that do not feature tutorial operations.
- Out of all events featuring limited headhunting banner, Invitation to Wine is the only one in which the animated PV in the Global server is narrated by the non-limited 6★ Operator (Lee) as opposed to the limited 6★ one (Ling).
- The Mountain Top operations are connected together in a way that they form a goblet.
- In Global, Invitation to Wine is the first anniversary event whose livestream uses the Live2D format.
