It probably helped that I indirectly complained about my bad luck in another thread. Now, after 171 hours, I've finally achieved 100% completion rate in everything.
Getting the "Events" categorie to 100% was mainly why this took so long. As forum member Nemo already realized to their dismay, it's not sufficient to encounter every event once, the player must have selected each choice for each event at least once. This can take a while, considering that some events are so rare that the player may not stumble upon them even once after 100 hours. I'm looking at you, event "A Shining Golden Rock": It was the last event that I added to the catalogue, and the last event for which I could finally select each choice at least once (I'm so glad this event has only two and not three choices!). I encountered it both times in the "True Overlord Dungeon", but your mileage may vary.
Completing the "Events" catalogue is made even more difficult by "follow-up events". By selecting certain event choices, you can trigger another event later during the same run, but that might not be possible if this happens on the final dungeon floor or if there aren't any event tiles left. Furthermore, you may not even realize if an event choice leads to a follow-up event, unless you check the event in the catalogue. 150 hours in, I finally realized that I hadn't triggered a certain (fortunately common) follow-up event. The game is beginner-friendly otherwise, but it certainly doesn't tell the player everything.
At least I'm pretty sure now that most (if not all) events can be encountered anywhere regardless of the circumstances. This means you don't need to set Karma when you're only doing "event prioritization runs", and you can avoid the "Tower of Trial" and try your luck elsewhere.
