Pre-notice: Enhancement System Improvement Plan

In addition to the content revealed in , there are additional matters I would like to introduce to all Agents, hence this message.

For a long time, we have been receiving feedback regarding Enhancement, and our development team has been carefully listening and constantly considering how to improve the Enhancement System to be more convenient.

Based on valuable feedback from Agents, we have identified several key factors that make the Enhancement System difficult: [olist]

• The higher the Enhancement level, the greater the burden of attempting Enhancement, yet the feedback upon successful Enhancement is not sufficiently high.

• There is significant variation in Enhancement efficiency among different equipment types, Trinkets in particular have a smaller advantage in Enhancement.

• Enhancement buff has become a necessity for Enhancement attempts, therefore putting a significant burden on the attempts themselves.

[/olist] To address these concerns, we will be improving the Enhancement System on September 11, 2024. The Enhancement System is one of the most significant systems in character development, and we will approach its growth with caution.

Through these improvements, the following changes will be implemented: [olist]

• Removal of the Enhancement Buff system and increased base success rates

• Introduction of a new Enhancement Guarantee system

• Increase in Trinket Enhancement efficiency

• Addition of Enhancement Unleash Option

• Maximum Enhancement stage extension and the probability adjustment for lower ranges

[/olist] I will provide detailed explanations for each of these topics.

[color="#5f95cc"] 1. Removal of the Enhancement Buff system and increased base success rates [/color] The current Enhancement Buff system provides probability boosts based on conditions, but since it involves paid items, it also adds to the burden of Enhancement attempts. Furthermore, its limitation is the inability to guarantee 100% Enhancement success.

Therefore, starting with the Enhancement System improvement update on September 11, 2024, the 1.2x probability boost provided by the existing Enhancement Buff will be reflected in the base Enhancement probability. The Enhancement Buff system will be removed, and a new Enhancement Guarantee system will be introduced.

As a preemptive measure, starting from the update on July 24, 2024, we plan to block enhancement buffs from being activated newly and remove existing acquisition paths altogether.

Additionally, any remaining Enhancement Buff Vouchers in possession can be exchanged for items of regular Gear Booster Fuel and Lucky Booster Fuel which are more valuable than its price.

[End of Enhancement Buff Voucher Sales, Unavailability, and Replacement Notice]

• Schedule: During maintenance on July 24, 2024

  • End of Sales: Please refer to the Pre-notice: Enhancement System Adjustment

• End of Use (Unavailability)

  • After the July 24, 2024 maintenance, you can’t activate Enhancement Buffs newly by using Enhancement Buff Vouchers.

  • Enhancement Buffs already activated will remain until the remaining days.

• Replacement:

  • Enhancement Buff Voucher in possession before the maintenance on Jul 24th, 2024 will be changed to [Enhancement Fuel Selectable Box]

    • The Enhancement Fuel Selectable Box contains the following items: x500 Gear Booster Fuel, x42 Lucky Gear Booster Fuel, and x17 Gear Booster Fortifier. You can choose one of these items. ※ Gear Booster Fuel and Gear Booster Fortifier will be distributed as tradeable items.

[color="#5f95cc"] 2. Introduction of a new Enhancement Guarantee system. [/color] Starting with the update on September 11, 2024, we will introduce a new Enhancement Guarantee system, which ensures a 100% success rate under certain conditions. This will become a fundamental feature of the Enhancement System, without the need to purchase additional items.

[New Enhancement Guarantee System]

• If the Enhancement result is "No Change," the Fixed Enhancement Points will increase.

• If the Enhancement result is "Enhancement Success," the Fixed Enhancement Points will be reset. This also applies when
