ASTRA: Knights of Veda News

Masters of the Book,

First of all we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the Hero’s Shoe issue and the unsatisfactory level of service provided.

We announced in the ‘Compensation for Excessive Rewards in Co-op’ notice about the details of the compensation and restrictions, and these have now been applied.

[h3]■ Restrictions applied[/h3]

Also during today’s maintenance, compensation has been provided based on the following formula.

[h3] ■ Reward Notice [/h3]

1. Calculate the total amount of shoes consumed between April 2, 2024 and the fix that was applied on April 16, 2024
 - Adventurer’s Shoes used + (Number of Hero’s Shoes x 80)
2. Calculate the number of Hero’s Shoes used in co-op at Adventure Level 6 or higher
 - The number of Hero’s Shoes used in co-op (2 or 3-player) at Adventure Level 6 or higher x80
3. Compensate with Hero’s Shoes equivalent to 1.5 times the quantity of shoes remaining after excluding the number of Hero’s Shoes used in a party at Adventure Level 6 or higher from the total shoe count. 
 - ((point 1 – point 2) x 1.5) divided by 80 (rounded to the nearest whole number)
4. Minimum compensated Hero’s Shoes is set at 5
 - If the result from Step 3 is between 0 and 4 pairs of Hero’s Shoes, 5 shoes will be sent.


※ Compensation will not be provided to the 189 accounts that were subject to the account restrictions
※ A maximum of 5 Hero’s Shoes can be held at a time.
