[h2]Event Details[/h2]
 

We have prepared the following events to help our avid players grow their characters: additional Synthesis XP increase event and free skill change event. Grow your equipment rapidly and adjust your skills by changing or resetting them as you want.

 
[h3]1. Additional Synthesis XP Increase Event[/h3]

• Additional synthesis XP will increase up to by 1,000% when synthesizing certain equipment during the event period.
  • What's additional Synthesis XP?
    • It refers to the additional XP you can randomly obtain when synthesizing an item.
    • You can check the additional XP you can obtain with the XP bar in the Synthesis UI.
• Applicable Items: 
  • Hiram Guardian/Radiant Hiram Guardian/Brilliant Hiram Guardian/Glorious Hiram Guardian Equipment
  • Mistsong Equipment
  • Disciple's Equipment, Disciple's Swift Equipment (not Radiant Disciple's Equipment)

 
[h3]2. Free Skill Change Event[/h3]

• You can do the below skill changes for free during the event period.
  • Reset Skills
  • Change Ancestral Skills
  • Change Skillset
  • Change Skillsaver

 
[h2]Disclaimer[/h2]

• Additional Synthesis XP increase is only applied to event items.
• You cannot exceed the max XP amount for max grade with the additional Synthesis XP obtained.
• Items used during the event cannot be recovered.
• After the event ends, the usual skill change cost will be charged.

[h2]Content Updates[/h2]

• Adjusted the cooldown of the "Dance: Rifle Drill" emote. 
  • Based on the feedback that the cooldown of the "Dance: Rifle Drill" emote was too long, we have reduced its cooldown from 40 seconds to 25 seconds.
  • We did consider removing the cooldown completely, but using the emote while it's already in use would play the same animation repeatedly, so we decided to adjust the cooldown instead.
• Reduced the cost for socketing Lunagems for a certain range of items. 
  • The cost for socketing Lunagems increases dramatically for a certain range of items and players have to socket all Lunagems in their Brilliant Explorer's equipment and then awaken it to Hiram Guardian equipment. However, players who are growing a new character are not often aware of this process. To improve upon this problem, we have reduced the cost for socketing Lunagems for the below range of items.
  • Applicable Equipment: Corrupted Kyrios, Mistsong Summit Equipment, Delphinad Equipment, Hiram Guardian Equipment
  • We will continue managing and improving the equipment growth cost.

• Fixed the issue where "Image Item: Flashy Polka Dot Bikini Top" was equipped to your character's legs.
• The expired "Swift Feet" ArchePass will no longer be displayed.
